Landing on runway 01 at FACT Cape Town International Airport in the Boeing 737-800

Landing Score 97.46 %

Landing Summary

The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at Cape Town International Airport, achieving a score of 97.5%. The final approach to runway 01 was initiated from the south, with the aircraft heading 345.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,262 feet above ground level.

Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway, with the threshold height being satisfactory. However, the threshold speed was significantly above the target speed, reaching 137 knots. This indicates that the aircraft was traveling at a higher speed than intended when it reached the threshold of the runway.

The touchdown point was located 189 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which suggests that the aircraft may have been slightly over-extended during the landing. Furthermore, the touchdown speed of 122 knots was slightly faster than the desired speed, which could have contributed to the extended touchdown point.

Despite these minor issues, the touchdown rate was satisfactory, with a rate of -173 feet per minute. This indicates that the aircraft was able to slow down effectively after touchdown. Additionally, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 3.7 meters, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the aircraft's alignment during the landing.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 13°C and a wind speed of 6 knots from a direction of 350°. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 6 knots, which may have affected the aircraft's alignment and touchdown point.

The total landing distance was 1,047 meters, which represents approximately 33% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was able to slow down effectively after touchdown. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, suggesting that the aircraft was able to maintain its alignment and direction after touchdown.

Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score of 97.5%. However, there were some minor issues with the touchdown speed and point, which may be addressed in future landings to improve the aircraft's performance.
