Departure
Arrival
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 19 at Cape Town International Airport, with the aircraft being a TBM 930. The takeoff distance covered 10% of the runway, which was 312 meters. The liftoff speed was achieved at 87 knots. At the time of departure, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 7 knots from a direction of 170 degrees. This resulted in a headwind of 7 knots, which was beneficial for the takeoff.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead the airport. The climb took the aircraft from an altitude of 1,176 feet above sea level to 2,711 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,535 feet in just 1 minute. This climb covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 3 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 34 at Cape Town International Airport was initiated from the south-east, with the aircraft heading in a direction of 304 degrees at an altitude of 1,384 feet above ground level. The approach was made from a distance of 2 nautical miles from the runway threshold.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down 147 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 82 knots. This was slightly faster than the target speed. The touchdown rate was smooth, at -136 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 6 knots from a direction of 169 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 4 knots and a tailwind of 5 knots.
The total landing distance covered 63% of the runway, which was 1,073 meters. The runway rollout alignment was also very good. The total flight distance was 7 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 6 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 21 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

The TBM 930 aircraft successfully landed at FACT Cape Town International Airport, achieving an impressive score of 88.7%. The final approach was conducted from the south east, heading 304.0° at 2 nautical miles and 1,384 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 34, which has a length of 1,702 meters.
Upon landing, the threshold height was found to be above the target, indicating that the aircraft was slightly higher than desired at the point of touchdown. However, the threshold speed was well above the target at 94 knots, suggesting that the pilot may have been able to reduce the speed during the approach to achieve a more optimal touchdown speed.
The touchdown point was located 147 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The touchdown speed of 82 knots was slightly faster than desired, but the touchdown rate was smooth at -136 feet per minute (fpm), indicating a controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilot maintained a stable and aligned approach.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15°C, with a wind speed of 6 knots from 169°. The crosswind component was 4 knots, while the tailwind component was 5 knots. These conditions were relatively favorable for landing, with a minimal crosswind component and a moderate tailwind.
The total landing distance was 1,073 meters, which represents 63% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the pilot was able to maintain a stable and controlled approach. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, suggesting that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, with the pilot achieving a high score despite some minor deviations from the target parameters. The aircraft's performance was well within the acceptable range, and the pilot demonstrated good control and judgment during the approach and landing phases.
Warning: Landed with a 5 kt tailwind
