The Airbus A320 successfully landed on runway 19 at FACT Cape Town International Airport, achieving a score of 98.9%. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the north, heading 165.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,352 feet above ground level (agl).
As the aircraft began its final approach, it was at a height of 61 feet agl, slightly above the target threshold height. However, the touchdown speed of 136 knots was slightly above the target, indicating a slight deviation from the ideal approach speed. Despite this minor discrepancy, the touchdown speed of 130 knots was still a little fast, which may be a concern for some pilots.
The touchdown point was 66 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is within an acceptable margin. The touchdown rate of -146 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth, suggesting that the aircraft was properly aligned and controlled throughout the landing process. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was aligned properly with the runway centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 24°C and a wind speed of 18 knots at 180°. The crosswind component was minimal at 5 knots, while the headwind component was 18 knots, which helped to reduce the landing distance.
The total landing distance, which includes the landing roll, was 939 meters, accounting for 29% of the runway length of 3,210 meters. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was properly controlled and aligned throughout the landing process. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, further emphasizing the smoothness and control of the landing.
Overall, the Airbus A320's landing on runway 19 at FACT Cape Town International Airport was a successful one, with the aircraft achieving a high score of 98.9%. While there were minor deviations from the ideal approach speed and touchdown speed, the aircraft's control and alignment throughout the landing process were exemplary.
