Top opportunity

Maintain the centreline

Departure Roll

A small uncorrected heading error at 40 knots becomes a metre of offset per second by 100 knots, noticed only at rotation, producing a crabbed liftoff. Root cause is nearly always eyes on the tape instead of the far end of the runway. Small heading changes displace a distant point visibly long before the nearby centreline stripes look wrong.

Everything the flare is measured against - the profile, the crossing height, the aim point - is referenced to a threshold this landing never reached, so read the numbers below as what happened short of the runway, not on it.

Flight narrative

Departing from O.R. Tambo International Airport in Johannesburg, South Africa, the Airbus A320 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 6 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. As it rolled down runway 03L, the aircraft accelerated to a liftoff speed of 147 knots, achieving lift-off after a takeoff distance of 1,626 meters, which represented 41% of the runway length. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 24°C, with a wind speed of 17 knots from a direction of 329°, resulting in a crosswind and headwind of 12 knots each.

As the aircraft climbed out of Johannesburg, it began its enroute climb, reaching an altitude of 36,010 feet above sea level after an increase of 29,468 feet in 18 minutes, covering a distance of 108 nautical miles. The climb phase was followed by a prolonged enroute level cruise, which lasted for 178 minutes and covered a distance of 1,290 nautical miles. The aircraft then commenced its enroute descent, reducing its altitude from 36,017 feet to 3,868 feet in 22 minutes, covering a distance of 132 nautical miles. A brief level cruise phase followed, lasting 4 minutes and covering 14 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 24 at Ndjili International Airport in Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of the Congo, was initiated from the north-east, with the aircraft touching down before the threshold at a speed of 128 knots. However, the touchdown rate was hard at -490 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.1 meters from the centreline.

The total landing distance was 1,434 meters, representing 44% of the runway length, and the runway rollout alignment was misaligned by 24.8 meters from the centreline. The taxiing process from the runway to the parking area took 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,553 nautical miles, with a total flight time of 232 minutes and a fuel consumption of 8,559 kilograms.

Landing Summary

The final approach to runway 24 at FZAA Ndjili International Airport was conducted from the north east, aligning with the heading of 237.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,118 feet above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a smooth descent and a stable aircraft configuration. However, the touchdown was slightly premature, occurring before the threshold of the runway.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was 128 knots, which was a little above the recommended threshold speed. The touchdown rate was also hard, at -490 feet per minute, indicating a relatively short landing distance. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned, deviating from the centreline by 5.1 meters. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 31°C, did not appear to have a significant impact on the landing performance.

The total landing distance was 1,434 meters, which accounted for 44% of the runway length. The rollout phase was also notable for a deviation from the centreline, with the aircraft misaligned by 24.8 meters. Despite these minor deviations, the overall landing performance was satisfactory, earning a score of 83.5%.
