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 24 m off the runway centreline.

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

See Departure Roll

Arrival

Keep the back pressure coming once the flare is established, holding the nose up through to touchdown instead of easing it.

What happened: The flare arrested the sink but 170 fpm of it came back before touchdown, and in flights like this one that returning sink usually carries through to a firm or hard touchdown at 493 fpm.

Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: the sink held near zero all the way through touchdown, not allowed to build back up.

Twenty knots on a monitor produces the visual sensation of about ten. The advice to "taxi at a walking pace" cannot fix this, because your sense of walking pace is exactly the thing that's broken. Put the groundspeed readout in your scan and obey it for the next fifty flights, the way a student pilot leans on the airspeed indicator before learning to read attitude.

Flight narrative

The Boeing 737-800 taxied from the parking area to runway 24 at FALE King Shaka International Airport in 8 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nm.

During the departure roll on runway 24, the aircraft accelerated to a liftoff speed of 151 kt and left the ground after traveling 1,188 m, which represented 32 % of the runway length; ambient temperature was 25 °C with a wind of 5 kt from 180°, a cross-wind component of 3 kt and a head-wind component of 4 kt.

Climb commenced approximately 1 mile south-west of FALE, with the airplane ascending from 1,266 ft asl to 31,998 ft asl - a gain of 30,731 ft - over 18 minutes while covering 99 nm.

The first cruise segment began 8 miles south-east of FABZ Bizana Airport and lasted 8 minutes, during which 52 nm were flown at level altitude.

Descent phase one started 13 miles west of FAPJ Port St Johns Airport, with the aircraft descending from 31,412 ft asl to 3,174 ft asl - a loss of 28,237 ft - in 26 minutes and covering 131 nm.

A second cruise interval was initiated 2 miles west of FAEL Ben Schoeman Airport, lasting 10 minutes and encompassing 41 nm of level flight.

The subsequent descent began 6 miles south of FAWG East London Airport, where the airplane reduced altitude from 2,984 ft asl to 1,506 ft asl - a decrease of 1,478 ft - in 3 minutes while traveling 8 nm.

For the final approach to runway 29 at FAEL Ben Schoeman Airport, the aircraft approached from the east on a heading of 262.0° at 4 nm and 1,087 ft agl; local conditions were 22 °C with a wind of 4 kt from 220°, a cross-wind of 3 kt and a head-wind of 3 kt.

Landing on runway 29 was achieved with a threshold speed of 140 kt; touchdown occurred 393 m down the runway at 133 kt with a vertical speed of minus 312 fpm, and the total landing distance recorded was 935 m, representing 48 % of the 1,933 m runway length.

Rollout continued to the end of the runway, with the aircraft’s centreline alignment deviating 11.0 m to the right of the centreline.

The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 3 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.

In total, the flight covered 341 nm, required 77 minutes of elapsed time, and consumed 3,067 kg of fuel.

Landing Summary

The Boeing 737-800 entered the final approach to runway 29 at FAEL Ben Schoeman Airport from the east on a heading of 262.0 °, 4 nm out and 1,087 ft agl. The approach was assessed as stabilised at the 1,000 ft gate, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope and centreline all within limits, and the local weather was 22 °C with wind 4 kt from 220 °, including a 3 kt crosswind and a 3 kt head-wind component.

At threshold the aircraft presented a good threshold height and a good threshold speed of 140 kt. The flare was executed in line with the stabilised approach parameters, maintaining the appropriate height and attitude for a smooth transition to touchdown.

Touchdown occurred 393 m down the runway at a speed of 133 kt, which was judged good, and the touchdown rate was firm at minus 312 fpm. Runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the total landing distance measured 935 m, representing 48 % of the 1,933 m runway length.

During rollout the aircraft drifted slightly, ending 11.0 m off the centreline, indicating a minor misalignment in the final roll.

The 94.2 % score reflects an overall strong performance; focus on tightening rollout alignment and moderating the firm touchdown rate to further improve precision. Adjusting flare timing to achieve a slightly softer touchdown while maintaining the current approach stability will help reduce the runway-centerline deviation.
