The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking area to the runway, which took 5 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a British Aerospace 146-200, then departed from runway 34 at Melbourne International Airport (YMML). The takeoff distance was 1,156 meters, which accounted for 32% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 141 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it encountered local weather conditions of 6 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 3 knots at 309 degrees. The crosswind was 2 knots, while the headwind was 3 knots. The enroute climb started 1 mile south east of Bulla, Victoria, and reached an altitude of 27,888 feet above sea level, an increase of 26,424 feet from the initial altitude of 1,465 feet. This climb took 17 minutes and covered a distance of 86 nautical miles.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 5 miles north east of Tatong, Victoria. This phase lasted for 31 minutes and covered a distance of 224 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, which started 8 miles south east of Taralga, New South Wales. The descent took 14 minutes and covered a distance of 63 nautical miles, during which the aircraft decreased its altitude from 28,375 feet to 120 feet above sea level.
The final approach to runway 29C at Sydney Bankstown Airport (YSBK) was made from the south east, heading 303.0 degrees at an altitude of 97 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 29C, which had a length of 1,260 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 124 knots. The touchdown distance was 184 meters, and the touchdown speed was 119 knots, both of which were considered good. However, the touchdown rate was hard at -464 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 3.1 meters. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 17 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 10 knots at 114 degrees. The crosswind was 2 knots, while the tailwind was 10 knots. The total landing distance was 1,046 meters, which accounted for 83% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
The final phase of the flight involved taxiing to the parking area from the runway, which took 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 376 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 69 minutes. The aircraft used 2,563 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

The final approach to runway 29C was initiated from the south east, with the aircraft heading 303.0° at 0 nm and 97 ft above ground level (agl). The pilot demonstrated good control and precision during the approach, ultimately landing safely on the runway.
The landing was executed with a threshold speed of 124 kt, which is considered good. The touchdown distance of 184 m was also within acceptable limits, indicating that the pilot had sufficient control over the aircraft's descent. However, the touchdown speed of 119 kt was slightly lower than the threshold speed, which may have contributed to a harder touchdown rate of -464 fpm.
Despite the hard touchdown rate, the pilot managed to maintain good control during the rollout phase, with the aircraft remaining aligned with the runway centerline. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.1 m from the centerline, which may have been a result of the crosswind or tailwind conditions.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 17 °C and a wind speed of 10 kt at 114°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 kt, while the tailwind component was 10 kt. These conditions may have contributed to the slight misalignment of the touchdown position.
Overall, the landing was considered good, with the pilot demonstrating good control and precision during the approach and rollout phases. However, there is room for improvement in terms of touchdown rate and alignment with the runway centerline.
