The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,279 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 261 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 5 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, an Airbus A320, then departed from runway 09 at ZULS Lhasa Gonggar Airport. The takeoff distance was 2,575 meters, which is 65% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 153 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of 19°C, with a wind speed of 2 knots at 103 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 2 knots. The aircraft began its enroute climb 1 mile east of ZULS Lhasa Gonggar Airport, Shannan (Gonggar), in the Tibet Autonomous Region, China. The climb started from an altitude of 12,736 feet above sea level and reached a maximum altitude of 37,589 feet above sea level, an increase of 24,853 feet in 20 minutes, covering a distance of 97 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 10 miles east of Rikaze, in the Tibet Autonomous Region, China, and lasted for 27 minutes, covering a distance of 190 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its enroute descent 10 miles northwest of VNRC Ramechhap Airport, Ramechhap, in the Bagmati Province, Nepal. The descent was from an altitude of 37,986 feet above sea level to 3,895 feet above sea level, a decrease of 34,091 feet in 18 minutes, covering a distance of 106 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 30 at VNPR Pokhara Intl was from the southeast, heading 296.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,243 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 30 at VNPR Pokhara Intl was successful, with a runway length of 2,279 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 136 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 262 meters, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 130 knots. The touchdown rate was smooth at -138 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 24°C, with a wind speed of 2 knots at 145 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a tailwind of 2 knots. The total landing distance was 1,056 meters, which is 46% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 401 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 73 minutes. The aircraft used 2,796 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at Pokhara International Airport (VNPR) on runway 30, achieving a score of 99.9%. The aircraft approached the runway from the southeast, heading 296.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,243 feet above ground level (agl).
The pilot executed a precise final approach, taking into account the local weather conditions. The temperature was 24°C, and the wind was blowing at 2 knots from 145°. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a tailwind of 2 knots, which the pilot effectively managed during the landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was good at 136 knots, and the touchdown distance was also satisfactory at 262 meters. However, the touchdown speed of 130 knots was slightly faster than ideal, which may have been due to the pilot's decision to prioritize a smooth touchdown rate.
The touchdown rate was indeed smooth, at -138 feet per minute (fpm), and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. This ensured a stable and controlled descent, which is crucial for a safe landing.
The total landing distance was 1,056 meters, which is 46% of the runway length. This is a relatively short distance, indicating that the pilot executed a precise and controlled landing. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, demonstrating the pilot's skill and attention to detail.
Overall, the landing was a success, with the pilot achieving a high score of 99.9%. The precise execution of the final approach, smooth touchdown, and controlled rollout all contributed to a safe and efficient landing.
