Landing on runway 03R at FAOR O.R. Tambo International Airport in the Boeing 737-800

Landing Score 73.4 %

Landing Summary

The Boeing 737-800 touched down on runway 03R at O.R. Tambo International Airport, with a threshold height of 67 feet above ground level, exceeding the target. The aircraft's approach quality was satisfactory, with a threshold speed of 146 knots, meeting the desired standard. As the aircraft made contact with the runway, it was traveling at a speed of 130 knots, which was within the acceptable range.

The touchdown characteristics were generally good, with a touchdown speed that met the target. However, the touchdown rate of -274 feet per minute was slightly below the desired standard. The runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned from the centreline, deviating by 15.6 meters. This misalignment persisted during the rollout phase, with the aircraft deviating by 46.1 meters from the centreline. The total landing distance of 1,463 meters was 43% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance.

The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 13 knots from 300 degrees, contributed to the landing. The crosswind component of 13 knots and the headwind component of 3 knots were moderate, but did not significantly impact the landing. Overall, the landing performance was satisfactory, with a score of 73.4%. However, the significant misalignment during the rollout phase and the slightly below-target touchdown rate were areas for improvement.
