Landing on runway 24 at FALE King Shaka International Airport in the Boeing 737-800

Landing Score 80.62 %

Landing Summary

The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at King Shaka International Airport, but with some notable deviations from the ideal landing parameters. The final approach was initiated from the north-east, heading 216.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,375 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 24, which has a length of 3,739 meters.

The threshold height at 78 feet agl was significantly above the target, indicating that the aircraft was higher than expected when reaching the runway threshold. However, the threshold speed of 147 knots was within the acceptable range. The touchdown point was 58 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which suggests that the aircraft may have been slightly long on the landing. The touchdown speed of 148 knots was also a bit faster than ideal, which could have contributed to the long touchdown point.

The most concerning aspect of the landing was the heavy touchdown rate of -905 feet per minute (fpm), which is significantly higher than the typical rate. This could indicate that the aircraft was not properly configured for landing, or that the pilots may have been experiencing difficulties with the aircraft's descent. Additionally, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 10.3 meters from the centerline, which could have made the landing more challenging.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 25°C and a wind speed of 3 knots at 95°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, and the tailwind component was even smaller at 1 knot. Despite these favorable conditions, the pilots still managed to achieve a total landing distance of 1,741 meters, which is 47% of the runway length. This suggests that the aircraft may have been experiencing some difficulties with braking or deceleration.

Finally, the runway rollout alignment was also misaligned by 16.8 meters from the centerline, which could have made the post-landing phase more challenging for the pilots. Overall, while the landing was successful, there were several areas where the pilots could have improved their performance to achieve a more ideal landing.
