What went well

Touched down at -173 fpm — a soft arrival
Flare on profile — 96 %
1.09 G at touchdown — inside band

What held you back

Arrival Approach — GPWS warning; 1,000 ft gate 71 %, 500 ft gate 86 %, −1.43 points
Departure Taxi — peak speed in a turn 21 kt at 54 %, −1.22 points
Arrival Touchdown — Touchdown distance was 863 m at 56 %, Runway alignment max 10.17 m left at 74 %, −0.93 points

Next time

Departure

Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.

What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 12 m off the runway centreline.

Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.

See Departure Roll

Arrival

Reduce power earlier on final to bleed back to 143 kt well before the gate.

What happened: Approach was fast through the stabilisation gate, and the threshold was crossed at 172 kt against the 143 kt target. Carrying that extra speed in usually carries the touchdown long, which it did here at 863 m against the 457 m target.

Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 143 kt at the threshold

See Arrival ApproachArrival LandingArrival Touchdown

Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

Flight narrative

The aircraft taxied from the parking area to runway 19 at Cape Town International Airport, covering 1 nm in 6 minutes.

During the departure roll on runway 19, the aircraft accelerated over a takeoff distance of 1,915 m, representing 60 % of the runway, and lifted off at 147 kt. Ambient conditions were 21 °C with a wind of 3 kt from 220°, a 2 kt cross-wind component and a 2 kt head-wind component.

Climb commenced 1 mile south of Cape Town International Airport, with the flight ascending from 814 ft asl to 34,887 ft asl - a gain of 34,073 ft - in 18 minutes while covering 119 nm.

The first cruise segment began 11 nm west of Piketberg Airport and continued for 65 minutes, during which 505 nm were flown at level altitude.

Descent started 4 nm south-east of the Kalkrand Pan Landing Site, with the aircraft descending from 35,010 ft asl to 27,991 ft asl - a loss of 7,019 ft - in 5 minutes over 38 nm.

A brief cruise followed 8 nm south-west of the Hannover Alt farm, lasting 2 minutes and covering 10 nm at constant altitude.

The second descent began 4 nm south-west of the Louwater Pan Landing Site, with a reduction from 27,998 ft asl to 6,999 ft asl - a decrease of 21,000 ft - in 11 minutes across 64 nm.

On final approach to runway 08 at Hosea Kutako International Airport, the aircraft approached from the south-west on a heading of 63.0° at 4 nm and 1,473 ft agl.

Landing on runway 08, which is 4,570 m long, occurred with a threshold height of 56 ft agl and a threshold speed of 173 kt. The touchdown point was 466 m beyond the touchdown zone, the speed at touchdown was 157 kt, and the vertical speed was a firm minus 346 fpm. The aircraft touched down 10.2 m off the centreline.

Landing Score 86.31 %
Landing Summary

The Boeing 737-800 conducted the final approach to runway 08 at FYWH Hosea Kutako International Airport from the south-west on a heading of 63.0° at 4 nm and 1,473 ft agl. The approach was assessed as unstable at the 1,000 ft gate because the sink rate was too high.

At the threshold the height of 56 ft agl was slightly above target and the threshold speed was too high at 173 kt. The flare was initiated from this condition.

Touchdown occurred 466 m beyond the designated touchdown zone with a speed of 157 kt, which was fast, and the aircraft settled with a firm rate of minus 346 fpm. The touchdown point was misaligned by 10.2 m from the centreline.

Rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 11.1 m from the centreline and the aircraft used a total landing distance of 2,196 m, representing 48 % of the 4,570 m runway. Local weather was 13 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 269°, a 1 kt crosswind component and a 2 kt tailwind component.

To improve the score, reduce the threshold and touchdown speeds toward target values and aim to touch down nearer the intended aim point to avoid the 466 m overshoot. Maintaining tighter centreline alignment during touchdown and rollout will also help bring the final performance closer to optimal.
