Landing on runway 19 at FACT Cape Town International Airport in the Boeing 737-800
Landing Score 90.99 %
Landing Summary

The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at Cape Town International Airport, achieving a score of 91.0%. The final approach to runway 19 was initiated from the north, with the aircraft heading 165.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,357 feet above ground level (agl).

Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway at a speed of 142 knots, which was slightly faster than the target speed. However, the touchdown distance of 418 meters was considered good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's skill and precision in navigating the aircraft to the runway.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 26°C and a wind speed of 17 knots from a direction of 191°. The crosswind component was 8 knots, while the headwind component was 15 knots, resulting in a net headwind effect. Despite these conditions, the pilot successfully managed the aircraft's descent and touchdown.

The total landing distance of 1,359 meters was 42% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the post-landing phase.

Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft touching down smoothly and the pilot demonstrating good control and precision throughout the approach and landing phases. However, the slightly fast touchdown speed and hard touchdown rate were noted as areas for improvement.
