The UH-1H aircraft departed from runway 11R at Hashimara Airport, VEHX, with a takeoff distance of 99 feet, which was 1% of the runway. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 37°F and a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 77°, resulting in a negligible crosswind and a headwind of 1 knot.

As the aircraft took off, it began its enroute climb, starting overhead the Hashimara Air Force Station, VE44, Jalpaiguri, West Bengal, India. The aircraft climbed from an altitude of 439 feet above sea level to 590 feet, an increase of 152 feet, in just 1 minute, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. Following this initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, lasting 2 minutes and covering 3 nautical miles, before resuming its climb.

The second enroute climb phase began 3 miles east of Hashimara Airport, VEHX, and saw the aircraft ascend from 620 feet to 9,232 feet, an increase of 8,612 feet, in 7 minutes, covering a distance of 40 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 33 at Paro International Airport, VQPR, from the southeast, heading 329.0° at an altitude of 1,835 feet above ground level and 2 nautical miles from the runway.

Upon landing on runway 33, the aircraft touched down at a speed of 67 knots, which was excessively fast, and with a hard touchdown rate of -405 feet per minute. The touchdown distance was 1,148 feet, which was considered good, but the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 12 feet from the centerline. The total landing distance was 1,314 feet, accounting for 20% of the runway length. Additionally, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 27 feet from the centerline.

The total flight distance was 46 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 10 minutes, during which the aircraft used -3 pounds of fuel. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 37°F and a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 90°, resulting in a negligible crosswind and no headwind.

Landing on runway 33 at VQPR Paro International Airport in the UH-1H

Landing Score 75.46 %

Landing Summary

The UH-1H aircraft successfully landed at VQPR Paro International Airport, but with some notable areas for improvement. The final approach was initiated from the southeast, heading 329.0° at 2 nautical miles and 1,835 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 33, which has a length of 6,533 feet.

The threshold height at 65 feet agl was above the target, indicating that the aircraft may have been slightly high on its approach. The threshold speed of 113 knots was also slightly above the expected speed, which could have contributed to the high touchdown speed. The touchdown distance of 1,148 feet was within acceptable limits, but the touchdown speed of 67 knots was excessively fast, indicating that the pilot may have been unable to arrest the aircraft's descent in time.

The touchdown rate of -405 feet per minute (fpm) was also hard, suggesting that the aircraft may have been subjected to a high rate of deceleration upon touchdown. Furthermore, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 12 feet from the centreline, which could have made the landing more challenging.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 37°F and a wind speed of 1 knot from 90°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind component and a headwind of 0 knots. The total landing distance of 1,314 feet was 20% of the runway length, which is within acceptable limits.

However, the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 27 feet from the centreline, indicating that the pilot may have struggled to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase. Overall, while the landing was successful, there are several areas where the pilot could improve their technique to achieve a smoother and more controlled landing.
