Departing from King Shaka International Airport, the Boeing 737-800 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 7 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. As the aircraft reached the runway threshold, it initiated its departure roll on runway 24, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 150 knots. The takeoff distance of 1,074 meters, which accounted for 29% of the runway, was achieved in a relatively short period.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it transitioned into an enroute climb phase, which began overhead King Shaka International Airport. The climb from 1,245 feet above sea level to 29,971 feet above sea level, an increase of 28,726 feet, was completed in 15 minutes and covered a distance of 93 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 12 minutes and covered 88 nautical miles, before beginning its enroute descent phase. The descent from 29,979 feet above sea level to 6,779 feet above sea level, a decrease of 23,200 feet, was achieved in 20 minutes and covered a distance of 107 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached O.R. Tambo International Airport, it initiated its final approach to runway 21L from the north, aligning itself with the runway at 4 nautical miles and 1,246 feet above ground level. The landing was executed successfully, with the touchdown point located 502 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed of 134 knots and touchdown rate of -197 feet per minute were both within acceptable limits. The total landing distance of 2,220 meters, which accounted for 65% of the runway, was achieved with a runway rollout alignment that was very good. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took 6 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The total flight distance of 299 nautical miles was completed in 62 minutes, with the aircraft consuming 2,800 kilograms of fuel.

The Boeing 737-800 touched down on runway 21L at O.R. Tambo International Airport, completing a final approach from the north at 4 nm and 1,246 ft above ground level. The aircraft was heading 194.0°, aligning with the runway's extended centreline. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a threshold speed of 144 kt, meeting the target. However, the threshold height at 68 ft above ground level was above the desired level.
The touchdown point was located 502 m beyond the designated touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 134 kt, which was within the acceptable range. The touchdown rate of -197 fpm was also good, indicating a controlled descent. Although the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.6 m from the centreline, the overall alignment during the rollout phase was very good. The aircraft's ability to maintain a stable path during the critical phases of flight was a testament to the crew's skill and the aircraft's handling characteristics.
The total landing distance of 2,220 m, accounting for 65% of the runway's length, was within the acceptable range. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 21 °C and a headwind of 13 kt, contributed to the successful landing. The crosswind component of 4 kt was minimal, allowing the crew to maintain control throughout the approach and landing phases. Overall, the landing was scored 87.5%, reflecting the crew's proficiency and the aircraft's performance in the challenging conditions.
