Landing on runway 03R at FAOR O.R. Tambo International Airport in the Airbus A340

Landing Score 93.09 %

Landing Summary

The final approach to runway 03R at O.R. Tambo International Airport was initiated from the south, with the aircraft heading 16.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,312 feet above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height achieved. However, the threshold speed was a little below the target at 126 knots, indicating a slight deviation from the optimal landing speed.

As the aircraft touched down on the runway, the touchdown distance was good at 188 meters, and the touchdown speed of 126 knots was also within acceptable limits. However, the touchdown rate was heavy at -626 feet per minute, which may have resulted in a slightly bumpy ride for passengers. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was well-centered on the runway. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 24°C and a gentle headwind of 4 knots, contributed to a relatively smooth landing.

The total landing distance of 962 meters, which accounted for 28% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the aircraft maintained its centerline alignment throughout the rollout phase. Overall, the landing performance was satisfactory, with a score of 93.1% reflecting the minor deviations from the optimal landing speed and touchdown rate.
