Landing on runway 21R at FAOR O.R. Tambo International Airport in the Airbus A350-1000

Landing Score 97.44 %

Landing Summary

The aircraft, an Airbus A350-1000, commenced its final approach to runway 21R at O.R. Tambo International Airport from the north, aligning with the runway heading of 196.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,275 feet above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height achieved. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 140 knots, indicating a slight deviation from the optimal landing speed.

As the aircraft touched down on the runway, the touchdown distance was good at 429 meters, but the touchdown speed of 136 knots was a little fast, suggesting a slight loss of control during the flare. The touchdown rate, however, was good at -198 feet per minute, indicating a controlled descent. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.6 meters from the centreline, which would require correction during the rollout phase. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 16°C and a headwind of 7 knots, contributed to a relatively smooth landing.

The total landing distance of 1,221 meters, which accounted for 31% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. During the rollout phase, the aircraft's alignment was slightly misaligned by 7.9 meters from the centreline, requiring correction to maintain a straight path. Overall, the landing performance was satisfactory, with a score of 97.4%. While there were some minor deviations from the optimal landing parameters, the aircraft's systems and the pilot's skills ensured a safe and controlled landing.
