South African Airways A320 Lands Safely After Severe Turbulence Near Cape Town

A South African Airways Airbus A320 experienced severe turbulence while approaching Cape Town, leading to flight-control issues. The aircraft, en route from Johannesburg, encountered a 20-40kt negative windshear at 6,000 feet, triggering the autothrust's 'alpha floor' mode to prevent a stall. The turbulence caused the aircraft to switch to alternate law due to an elevator-aileron computer pitch fault, and the autopilot disengaged. Despite these challenges, the crew managed to land the aircraft manually under direct law, with no injuries reported and the aircraft undamaged.
