HIGH RATE OF DESCENT DURING APPROACH BETWEEN 1000-500FT
VN300 SGN-NRT 16/05/2018 (B787)
This part is based on and comply with Flight Operations Manual (FOM 8.3.1.9)
• For circling to land approach, aircraft wings must be leveled by 300ft AGL.
• For base training flights, aircraft must be stabilized by 500ft AGL.
• For all other flights, aircraft must be stabilized by 1000ft AGL.
For certain reason, if the approach becomes unstabilized below the above mentioned height,
go-around must be initiated immediately.
An approach is stabilized when all of the following criteria are met:
• The aircraft is on the correct flight path;
• Only small changes of heading/pitch are required to maintain the correct flight path;
• The aircraft speed is not more than IAS target (indicated by magenta triangle) +10 kt
and not less than Vapp – 5 kt;
• The aircraft is in the correct landing configuration;
• Rate of descent is no greater than 1000 feet per minute (if an approach requires a
rate of descent greater than 1000 feet per minute a special briefing should be
conducted);
• Power setting is appropriate for the aircraft configuration;
• All briefings and checklists have been completed.
Note: The above criteria must be maintained through the rest of the approach for it to be
considered a stabilized approach.
Note: Manual flying is only to be carried out after the landing checklist has been done and the
flight is stabilized.
The specific types of approaches are stabilized if they also meet the following additional
criteria:
• ILS approaches must be flown within one(1) dot of the glideslope and localizer.
• During circling approach wings must be level on final when the aircraft reaches 300 ft
above the airport elevation.
The above criteria must be maintained through the rest of the approach for it to be considered
a stabilized approach. If the above criteria cannot be established and maintained at and below
500ft above airport elevation an immediate go-around must be initiated.
At 100ft above the airport elevation for all visual approaches the aircraft must be positioned so
that the flight deck is within and tracking so as to remain within the lateral confines of the
runway’s extended center-line.
As the aircraft cross the threshold it must be:
• Stabilized on target airspeed to within 10kt until arresting descent rate at flare.
• On a stabilized flight path using normal manoeuver.
• Positioned to make a normal landing in the touch down zone.
If the above criteria cannot be maintained a go-around shall be initiated.
Occurrences:
A/C was pushed-back from Parking No.8.
Clearance for taxi: NS-NS2-E8-E6- Holding point RWY 25L.
Instead of turning right to E8 from NS2, Crew continued straight in NS2 and crossed
the RWY holding line.
Crew immediately stopped the A/C and informed to ATC the situation.
Flight TR307 had to abort the Take-off due to RWY incursion.
Clearance
Crew taxi
Crew needs to follow SOP, take note all taxi instruction to CFP,
briefing and crosscheck to make sure the clearance is correctly
acknowledged.
Resolutions
PM needs to monitor, warn the captain about TWY, direction,
Crew must stop the A/C and confirm with ATC if there is any
doubt.
2. Findings:
Main causes:
In VMC condition, Crew mista kenly believed Rwy 20L which was under
construction as R WY in use 20
Crew didn’t notice that the Papi was not located correctly, as there is no Papi sys for
the new R WY.
RWY 20 in use
3. Resolutions:
Crew needs to study Airport chart carefully.
RWY under -construction or unserviceable must be mark the cross “X” at RWY
threshold. Extremely Caution information should be provided to crew by NOTAM,
ATIS or TWR controller.
VVCR and VVDN are soon to install ATIS to reduce work load for crew and
controllers.
1st approach RWY 16L, crew went around due to gusting wind.

2nd approach RWY 16R, A/C was landed with G-load 2.54G.

HARD LANDING
VN7810 PQC-SGN 18/05/2018 (A321)
Captain was PF
The crew made an ILS approach Rwy 25R in bad weather conditions.
During final, the weather still above the landing minima.
At flare height, the crew experienced heavy rain with sudden falled in
visibility.
Aircraft touched down with G-load recorded 2.71.
The Flight violated level 3 of Hard landing, max value 2.71G, limit 2.6G.

RUNWAY EXCURSION
VN1266 SGN-VII 16/07/2018 (A321)
Occurrences:
Flight VN1266 departed from SGN with good weather and no MEL concerning about
nosewheel.
During the approach weather went below minima: wind 290/4kts, Vis 1500m/ + RA, crew did
3 holding at 7000ft.
Crew decided to continue the approach RWY17 when reported VIS was 6000m.
During short final till touch down wind was 350/11kts. The a/c landed on the left of runway
centerline and continued veering off the runway.
Crew control the aircraft back on Rwy, while attempting to turn around and taxi to the apron
the A/c became disable due to the right nose gear tyre having deflated and the nose wheel turned
90º to the right. Passengers disembarked on the runway.

RUNWAY EXCURSION
VN1266 SGN-VII 16/07/2018 (A321)
Findings
Heavy rain, visibility rapidly dropped and wind changed from tailwind to fully
crosswind and increased velocity (350/11kts to 260/26kts) at touchdown caused the
A/c went off the runway .
The A/c have drifted to the left of centerline just before touched down, the Rwy was
wet, slippery and strong cross wind from the right made the crew unable to get back
to centerline.
Crew failed to follow SOP 2.1.9 Task sharing, SOP 1.3.2 tail wind limitation, FOM
8.3.8.2.4 approach and landing in adverse weather.
Crew did not discon nect AP early enough to resume manual control and evaluate t
drift before flare (follow FCTM)
Landing technique under adverse weather condition was below standard (positive
landing, firm landing due to slippery RWY - hydroplaning).
Crew disconnected Autobra ke to manage directional control -increased workload.
ATC did not update Wx condition on time to support pilot during weather
deterioration.
RWY 17 did not have RWY center light, and the centerline was partly covered by
rubber.
RUNWAY EXCURSION
VN1544 HUI-HAN 28/07/2018 (A321)
Occurrences:
ILS APP 11L at Noibai, the A/c was stabilized from 1000ft. F/O was PF
According to Capt report: Rain started at 150ft, Wiper was used at maximum and RWY was in-
sight
During flare (3s before touch-down) wind have changed from head-wind to right cross-wind,
increased in velocity, heavy rain, sudden lost of Vis, crew could not see the RWY. A/C have
drifted to the left and left main Gear went off the RWY.
Crew controlled the A/C back to the centerline and taxied to the parking with no further event.
The ground maintenance reported there was grass and dirt on the Landing Gear.

RUNWAY EXCURSION
VN1544 HUI-HAN 28/07/2018 (A321)
Approach and Landing at night time, heavy rain, loss of Visibility,
wind rapidly changed from head wind to right crosswind and gust
up to 22kts, crew did not see the RWY at touch down.
Difficulty to maintain on the Centerline due to wet and slippery
Rwy surface under heavy rain and strong crosswind.
Crew failed to follow SOP 2.1.9 Task sharing, SOP 1.3.2 tail wind
limitation, FOM 8.3.8.2.4 approach and landing in adverse weather.
Landing technique under adverse weather was below standard (positive landing, firm
landing due to slippery RWY- hydroplaning). Captain did not take control timely.
ATC failed to advise and support crew during weather deterioration.
RWY 11L did not have RWY center light, RWY centerline was partly covered by rubber.
1. Occurrences:
FO was PF, Crew avoided CB and made early turn to capture LOC RWY 09.
The A/c was high on profile, crew increased rate of descent to capture G/S.
The flight violated level 3 of high rate of descent during approach between 1000ft &
500ft. Max value recorded was -1694ft/min, limit -1500ft/min.
Max value:
- 1694ft/min
Limit: -1500ft/min
