As the plane entered its initial climb phase 2 miles south of FACT Cape Town International Airport, it climbed at an impressive 31,000 feet above sea level in just 17 minutes. The aircraft then transitioned into its first level cruise phase at 73 miles west of Constantia, covering an expansive 1,350 nautical miles in 202 minutes. This segment of the journey was characterized by a stable and consistent altitude.

Later, en route, the aircraft climbed from 32,581 feet to 34,057 feet above sea level within just 2 minutes, achieving an increase of 1,476 feet. This climb occurred at Latitude -32.9166051 and Longitude -10.0986219. Following this ascent, the plane leveled out at a new altitude and began its second level cruise phase, lasting 182 minutes while traversing 1,252 nautical miles.

Further into the journey, the aircraft climbed once more from 34,051 feet to 35,554 feet above sea level in just 2 minutes, achieving a rise of 1,503 feet. This ascent took place at Latitude -25.5904985 and Longitude -32.8204645.

Landing on runway 28 at SBGL Rio Galeão – Tom Jobim International Airport in the Boeing 777-300

Landing Score 91.45 %

Landing Summary

The Boeing 777-300 aircraft successfully landed at SBGL Rio Galeão – Tom Jobim International Airport on runway 28, achieving a score of 91.5%. The approach to the runway from the east, heading 254.0°, was initiated 4 nautical miles away at 1,289 feet above ground level.

Upon landing, it was noted that the aircraft touched down 304 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone. Although this was slightly beyond the target spot, the touchdown speed was recorded at 149 knots, which was a bit faster than ideal. Nonetheless, the touchdown rate of -263 feet per minute was considered fair, indicating a somewhat steep descent.

Another aspect of the landing that stood out was the runway alignment, which was described as very good. This suggests that the aircraft was well-positioned and aligned with the runway prior to touchdown, ensuring a smooth and controlled landing. The conditions during the landing were relatively favorable, with a temperature of 23°C and a moderate headwind of 6 knots.

The overall landing distance of 1,964 meters was calculated to be 49% of the available runway length. This suggests that the aircraft had sufficient space to come to a stop after touchdown, avoiding any potential issues with runway length. The rollout alignment, which refers to the aircraft's positioning and direction after touchdown, was deemed perfect.
