Next time

Departure

Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.

What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 9 m off the runway centreline.

Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.

See Departure Roll

Arrival

Fly a steeper descent on final so you cross the threshold at 50 ft agl instead of 76 ft agl.

What happened: The aircraft crossed the threshold at 76 ft agl against a 50 ft agl target, well above the normal profile. The touchdown point was also long at 970 m against a 457 m target, a pattern often seen after high threshold crossings.

Watch for: Radio altimeter against the 50 ft threshold crossing target on short final.

See Arrival LandingArrival Touchdown

Ground effect becomes significant below about one wingspan of height. A Cessna 172, with a 36 ft span, enters ground effect at flare height - the float it feels in the hold-off is ground effect arriving on cue. An A320, with a span around 117 ft, has been in ground effect since before the threshold and there is no sudden cushion to feel, only a gradual reduction in induced drag that lengthens any float you allow.

Flight narrative

Departing Hosea Kutako International Airport, runway 08, the Boeing 737-800 began its journey with a taxiing period of 6 minutes, covering 1 nautical mile to reach the runway. At 22 °C and with a gentle headwind of 1 kt, the aircraft took off, utilizing 52% of the 2,380-meter runway to reach liftoff speed of 149 kt. The climb phase commenced 1 mile northeast of the airport, where the aircraft ascended from 6,532 feet above sea level to 31,709 feet, an increase of 25,177 feet in 17 minutes, covering 109 nautical miles.

The enroute climb phase gave way to a level cruise, which started 10 miles southeast of Kalkrand Pan Landing Site and lasted 67 minutes, covering 494 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent 11 miles south of Clanwilliam Airport, decreasing from 31,572 feet to 3,465 feet in 24 minutes, covering 126 nautical miles. A brief level cruise phase followed, lasting 8 minutes and covering 28 nautical miles, before the aircraft commenced its final descent 1 mile west of Sunset Beach Airport.

Landing Summary

The Boeing 737-800 touched down on runway 19 at FACT Cape Town International Airport, marking a satisfactory conclusion to the approach from the north. The aircraft's descent was characterized by a good threshold speed of 139 kt, which was achieved in line with expectations. However, the threshold height at 76 ft agl was slightly above the target, indicating a minor deviation from the ideal approach profile.

As the aircraft made contact with the runway, it did so at a speed of 129 kt, which was within acceptable limits. The touchdown rate of -234 fpm was fair, suggesting a moderate deceleration upon impact. Unfortunately, the runway touchdown position was not perfectly aligned with the centreline, deviating by 8.0 m. This slight misalignment was also evident during the rollout phase, where the aircraft strayed 9.1 m from the centreline.

The overall performance of the landing was satisfactory, with a total landing distance of 2,310 m, which represented 72% of the available runway length. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 20 °C and a gentle headwind of 1 kt, did not pose any significant challenges to the landing. Despite some minor deviations from the ideal approach and rollout, the aircraft's score of 82.2% reflects a generally good performance.

The flare held the target profile well. The flare was pumped rather than held: pitch changed direction 4 times on the way down. Touchdown was 970 m past the threshold. One smooth continuous input - chasing the runway with the elevator makes the next correction bigger, not smaller.
