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 4.9 m off the runway centreline.

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

See Departure Roll

Arrival

Hold the aim point and wait for the speed to bleed before raising the nose, starting the flare within the normal band instead of 97 ft.

What happened: The flare began at 97 ft, 52 ft earlier than the normal band.

Watch for: Radio altimeter: start the flare within the normal flare band

See Arrival Landing

Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

Flight narrative

The flight in question was operated by a Boeing 737 Max 8 aircraft. The pre-flight taxiing from the parking area to the runway took approximately 6 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft departed from runway 05 at Kruger Mpumalanga International Airport (FAKN), with a takeoff distance of 1,042 meters, which was 40% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 157 knots.

The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 26°C, with a wind speed of 16 knots at a direction of 79°. This resulted in a crosswind of 11 knots and a headwind of 11 knots. The aircraft began its enroute climb approximately 1 mile northeast of the airport, rising from an altitude of 3,530 feet above sea level to 24,286 feet above sea level, an increase of 20,756 feet in 7 minutes, covering a distance of 25 nautical miles.

The enroute level cruise started 6 miles southwest of Barberton Airport (FUCB) and lasted for 17 minutes, covering a distance of 115 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent 9 miles north of Ekangala, Gauteng, South Africa, descending from 24,887 feet above sea level to 8,136 feet above sea level, a decrease of 16,750 feet in 11 minutes, covering a distance of 50 nautical miles.

The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, this time starting 4 miles south of Springs, Gauteng, South Africa, and lasting for 3 minutes, covering a distance of 9 nautical miles. The final descent phase began 3 miles southeast of Rand Airport (FAGM), Johannesburg, Gauteng, South Africa, with the aircraft descending from 8,087 feet above sea level to 7,255 feet above sea level, a decrease of 832 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles.

The final approach to runway 03L at O.R. Tambo International Airport (FAOR) was made from the south, with the aircraft heading at 15.0° at an altitude of 1,730 feet above ground level, 3 nautical miles from the runway threshold. The landing was made on runway 03L, which had a length of 3,987 meters. The threshold speed was 124 knots, and the touchdown speed was 112 knots.

The touchdown distance was good at 317 meters, with a touchdown rate of -262 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.9 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 28°C, with a wind speed of 14 knots at a direction of 309°. This resulted in a crosswind of 13 knots and a headwind of 6 knots.

The total landing distance was 1,277 meters, which was 32% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was misaligned by 19.8 meters from the centerline. The post-landing taxiing from the runway to the parking area took approximately 4 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 211 nautical miles, with a total flight time of 53 minutes, and the aircraft used 1,697 kilograms of fuel.

Landing on runway 03L at FAOR O.R. Tambo International Airport in the Boeing 737 MAX 8
Landing Score 92.27 %
Landing Summary

A Boeing 737 Max 8 aircraft successfully landed at O.R. Tambo International Airport's runway 03L, achieving a high score of 92.3%. The aircraft approached the runway from the south, heading 15.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,730 feet above ground level.

The landing was executed with good threshold height, and the aircraft touched down at a speed of 112 knots, which was slightly below the threshold speed of 124 knots. The touchdown distance was also satisfactory, measuring 317 meters. However, the touchdown rate was fair, at -262 feet per minute, indicating a slightly steeper descent than ideal.

The aircraft's alignment with the runway centerline was not perfect, with a slight misalignment of 3.9 meters at touchdown. This could be attributed to the crosswind, which was 13 knots, and the headwind, which was 6 knots. The total landing distance was 1,277 meters, which is 32% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was well-controlled throughout the descent.

During the rollout, the aircraft's alignment with the centerline was again not perfect, with a misalignment of 19.8 meters. This could be due to the pilot's response to the crosswind and headwind conditions, or it could be a result of the aircraft's handling characteristics.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 28°C and a wind speed of 14 knots from 309°. The pilots would have had to take these conditions into account when planning the approach and landing, and it appears that they were able to successfully navigate the aircraft to the runway despite the wind.

Overall, the landing was successful, and the aircraft was well-controlled throughout the descent and rollout. However, there is room for improvement in terms of alignment with the centerline, particularly during the rollout phase.
