Landing on runway 03L at FAOR O.R. Tambo International Airport in the Boeing 737-800

Landing Score 91.29 %

Landing Summary

The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at O.R. Tambo International Airport's runway 03L, achieving a score of 91.3%. The final approach was initiated from the south, heading 16.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,339 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 144 knots.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 425 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is slightly outside the recommended area. The touchdown speed of 142 knots was a bit faster than ideal, but the touchdown rate of -207 feet per minute (fpm) was considered fair. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway during the landing.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15°C, with a wind speed of 11 knots at 80°. The crosswind component was 10 knots, while the headwind component was 5 knots. These conditions did not appear to significantly impact the landing.

The total landing distance of 1,861 meters was 47% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 12.0 meters from the centerline, indicating that the aircraft may have deviated slightly from the intended path during the rollout phase.

Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a good score despite some minor deviations from the ideal touchdown point and speed. The pilots' skills and the aircraft's performance were likely factors in the successful outcome of the landing.
