The flight began with the Airbus A320 taxiing from the parking area to the runway at FACT Cape Town International Airport, a process that took 5 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. Departure roll took place on runway 19, with the aircraft taking off after covering 37% of the runway's length. The takeoff distance was 1,172 meters, and the liftoff speed was 172 knots.

The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 24 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 21 knots blowing from 189 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 9 knots and a headwind of 19 knots. As the aircraft took off, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead FACT Cape Town International Airport. The climb took the aircraft from an altitude of 1,194 feet above sea level to 37,843 feet above sea level, an increase of 36,649 feet, in 18 minutes and covering a distance of 222 nautical miles.

After reaching cruising altitude, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which began 20 miles north of FAOV Knysna Airport. This phase lasted for 22 minutes and covered a distance of 352 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started overhead FA39 Veterans Administration Medical Center Heliport in Gainesville. The descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 37,539 feet above sea level to 1,581 feet above sea level, a decrease of 35,958 feet, in 19 minutes and covering a distance of 112 nautical miles.

The final approach to runway 06 at FALE King Shaka International Airport was made from the southwest, with the aircraft heading at 37.0 degrees. The aircraft was at an altitude of 1,275 feet above ground level and 4 nautical miles from the runway threshold. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 20 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 9 knots blowing from 10 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 8 knots.

The landing on runway 06 was successful, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 133 knots. The touchdown distance was 399 meters, which was considered good. However, the touchdown speed was slightly above the target speed, and the touchdown rate was firm at -370 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was very good. The total landing distance was 1,031 meters, which was 28% of the runway's length.

After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took 5 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 694 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 76 minutes. The aircraft used 4,621 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

Landing on runway 06 at FALE King Shaka International Airport in the Airbus A320
Landing Score 94.06 %
Landing Summary

The Airbus A320 successfully landed on runway 06 at King Shaka International Airport, achieving a final score of 94.1%. As the aircraft approached the runway from the southwest, it was heading at 37.0° and was 4 nautical miles away at an altitude of 1,275 feet above ground level (agl). The runway length at King Shaka International Airport is 3,739 meters.

Upon landing, the pilot's performance was evaluated in several key areas. The threshold height of 66 feet agl was above the target, indicating a slightly higher-than-ideal approach altitude. The threshold speed of 136 knots was also slightly above the target, suggesting that the pilot may have been slightly too aggressive in their approach. However, the touchdown distance of 399 meters was considered good, indicating a smooth and stable landing.

The touchdown speed of 133 knots was also slightly above the target, indicating a slightly faster-than-ideal touchdown. The touchdown rate of -370 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, but not excessively high, suggesting that the pilot maintained control throughout the landing. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot successfully aligned the aircraft with the runway centerline.

The local weather conditions were favorable for the landing, with a temperature of 20°C and a wind speed of 9 knots at 10°. The crosswind component was minimal at 4 knots, while the headwind component was 8 knots, which helped to stabilize the aircraft during the approach.

The total landing distance was 1,031 meters, which accounted for 28% of the runway length. This indicates that the pilot effectively used the available runway space and managed to bring the aircraft to a stop within a reasonable distance. The runway rollout alignment was also excellent, suggesting that the pilot maintained control and stability throughout the landing process. Overall, the landing was characterized by a good touchdown distance, smooth rollout, and perfect alignment, earning the pilot a respectable score of 94.1%.
