The final approach to runway 01 at FACT Cape Town International Airport from the south was executed with precision, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 345.0° at 4 nm and 381.6 meters above ground level. The approach quality was excellent, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 128 kt, well within the acceptable range. As the aircraft touched down on the runway, the touchdown distance of 348 meters was also within the desired parameters, and the touchdown speed of 123 kt was good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
The touchdown characteristics were satisfactory, with a touchdown rate of -0.9 m/s, which is within the acceptable range. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.5 meters from the centreline, which may require some attention during future approaches. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 16°C and a gentle wind of 2 kt at 27°, resulting in a negligible crosswind and headwind component of 1 kt each.
The total landing distance of 1,293 meters, which accounts for 40% of the runway length, was within the acceptable range. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating a high degree of control and precision during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was scored 98.6%, reflecting a high level of proficiency and adherence to standard operating procedures.
