Landing Score 92.39 %

Landing Summary

The aircraft touched down on runway 01 at FACT Cape Town International Airport, demonstrating a good threshold height. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 139 kt, indicating a slight deviation from the optimal approach speed. The touchdown point was 254 m beyond the touchdown zone, suggesting a slightly long touchdown. The touchdown speed of 131 kt was a little fast, which may have contributed to the slightly long touchdown.

Despite the slightly fast touchdown speed, the touchdown rate of -255 fpm was fair, indicating a relatively controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft centered on the runway. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 13 °C and a negligible wind of 3 kt at 0 °, resulting in a negligible crosswind and a 3 kt headwind. The aircraft's ability to maintain alignment and control during the approach was evident in the perfect runway rollout alignment.

The total landing distance of 1,626 m was 51% of the runway length, indicating a relatively efficient use of the available runway. The overall performance of the aircraft during the landing was satisfactory, with a score of 92.4%. The approach quality was good, with a smooth and controlled descent, and the touchdown characteristics were fair, with a slightly long touchdown and fast touchdown speed.
