The Airbus A330-900 established a final approach to runway 03R at FAOR O.R. Tambo International Airport from the south on a heading of 16.0° at 4 nm and 882 ft agl, with ambient temperature 14 °C, wind 2 kt from 235°, a 1 kt cross-wind component and a 2 kt tail-wind component; the threshold height was reported as good.
During the threshold and flare segment the aircraft maintained a threshold speed that was good at 129 kt, carried the same speed through the flare, and achieved a touchdown distance that was good at 363 m from the runway threshold.
Touchdown occurred with a vertical rate that was fair at minus 238 fpm and the touchdown point was significantly misaligned by 17.6 m from the centreline; the total landing distance measured 1,090 m, representing 32 % of the 3,404 m runway length.
Rollout proceeded with runway alignment that was very good, and the aircraft decelerated along runway 03R within the remaining runway length without further deviation.
Focus on tightening centre-line tracking through the flare to reduce the 17.6 m offset, and refine the flare technique to achieve a smoother vertical rate than the observed minus 238 fpm, which will further improve an already high 97.0 % score.
