Top opportunity

Smooth the climb

Departure Climb 3

A good takeoff has a defined shape. It also has a defined end. For an airliner that's thrust reduction and acceleration, commonly somewhere around 1,000 to 1,500 ft above the airfield depending on the operator, while for a light aircraft it's established at Vy with the flaps on schedule. Most simmers have no defined end to their takeoff, which is exactly why it never gets judged.

Landing Score 99.27 %
Landing Summary

The Airbus A340-600 successfully landed at Cape Town International Airport, achieving a high score of 99.3%. The aircraft was approaching runway 01 from the south, heading 345.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,265 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot's final approach was precise, setting the stage for a smooth landing.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed on the runway with a speed of 149 knots, which was slightly above the target threshold speed. However, the touchdown distance of 372 meters was considered good, indicating that the pilot had maintained control and precision throughout the landing process. The touchdown speed of 146 knots was a little fast, but this did not significantly impact the overall performance of the landing.

The aircraft's descent rate was fair at -264 feet per minute, which is a reasonable rate for a commercial airliner. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's skill and attention to detail. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 20°C.

The total landing distance of 1,141 meters was 36% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. This suggests that the pilot had successfully managed the aircraft's speed and descent rate to achieve a smooth and controlled landing. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the pilot had maintained control and precision throughout the landing process.

Overall, the landing of the Airbus A340-600 at Cape Town International Airport was a success, with the pilot achieving a high score of 99.3%. The precise approach, smooth touchdown, and controlled rollout all contributed to a safe and efficient landing.
