Landing on runway 15 at VQPR Paro International Airport in the Boeing 737-600

Landing Score 86.57 %

Landing Summary

The Boeing 737-600 aircraft successfully landed at VQPR Paro International Airport, achieving an overall score of 86.6%. The final approach to runway 15 was conducted from the north, heading 160.0° at 1 nautical mile and 440 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft demonstrated good control and precision during the approach, ultimately landing safely on the runway.

The threshold height was satisfactory, and the threshold speed of 131 knots was also within acceptable limits. However, the touchdown speed of 131 knots was slightly faster than desired, which may have contributed to a slightly higher touchdown rate of -100 feet per minute (fpm). Despite this, the touchdown rate was still considered smooth, indicating that the pilot maintained control and stability during the landing.

The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from 270°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind component of 1 knot and a headwind of 0 knots.

The total landing distance of 1,660 meters was 83% of the available runway length of 1,991 meters, which is a relatively short distance. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 7.8 meters from the centerline, indicating that the aircraft may have deviated slightly from the desired path during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was considered safe and successful, with the aircraft demonstrating good control and precision throughout the approach and landing phases.
