What went well

Touched down at -173 fpm — a soft arrival
Threshold crossed at 35 ft and 137 kt — both inside band
Straight touchdown — 3.24 m off the centreline, no bounce

What held you back

Arrival Landing — Flare profile at 75 %, −0.26 points
Departure Roll — Runway alignment max 6.40 m left at 88 %, −0.20 points
Arrival Touchdown — Touchdown distance was 611 m at 83 %, −0.15 points

Next time

Departure

Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.

What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 6.4 m off the runway centreline.

Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.

See Departure Roll

Arrival

Hold the aim point and wait for the speed to bleed before raising the nose, starting the flare within the normal band instead of 75 ft.

What happened: The flare began at 75 ft, 30 ft earlier than the normal band.

Watch for: Radio altimeter: start the flare within the normal flare band

See 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.

Flight narrative

The flight began with a departure roll from runway 23L at Luanda Airport in Angola. The Boeing 737-800 took off with a takeoff distance of 1,030 meters, which was 24% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 152 knots. At the time of departure, the local weather conditions were a temperature of 18 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 1 knot at 155 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 0 knots.

As the aircraft climbed out of Luanda Airport, it began its enroute climb, reaching an altitude of 39,321 feet above sea level. This was an increase of 37,734 feet from the initial altitude of 1,587 feet above sea level. The climb took 39 minutes to complete and covered a distance of 285 nautical miles. The aircraft then leveled off and entered a cruise phase, flying at a steady altitude for 129 minutes. During this time, it covered a distance of 1,110 nautical miles.

The enroute cruise phase was followed by a descent, which began 16 miles north of Bushman's Kloof Airport in South Africa. The aircraft descended from 38,771 feet above sea level to 2,994 feet above sea level, a decrease of 35,777 feet. This descent took 21 minutes to complete and covered a distance of 136 nautical miles. The aircraft then leveled off again, flying at a steady altitude for 2 minutes, before beginning another descent.

The final descent began 10 miles southeast of Cape Town International Airport in South Africa. The aircraft descended from 2,991 feet above sea level to 1,419 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,572 feet. This descent took 3 minutes to complete and covered a distance of 6 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 01 at Cape Town International Airport, flying at a heading of 345.0 degrees and an altitude of 1,262 feet above ground level.

The landing was made on runway 01, which had a length of 3,210 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was well above the target speed of 137 knots. However, the touchdown speed was a little fast at 122 knots. The touchdown point was 189 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown rate was good at -173 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.7 meters from the centerline.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 13 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 6 knots at 350 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 6 knots. The total landing distance was 1,047 meters, which was 33% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good.

After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking 1 minute to cover a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,550 nautical miles, and the flight took 198 minutes to complete. The aircraft used 9,159 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

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.
