Top opportunity

Work on the flare

Arrival Landing

Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without it.

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.
