The flight began with a brief taxiing period from the aircraft's parking position to the runway, which took approximately 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. This was followed by a departure roll from runway 09 at LGSM Samos Airport, with an initial takeoff distance of 1,340 meters, which was 68% of the runway's total length. The liftoff speed reached a notable 144 knots. At that point, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 28 °C and a relatively light wind of 4 knots at 170 degrees. This was further divided into a small headwind of 1kt and a negligible crosswind component of 3kt.
Once airborne, the enroute climb commenced over the town of Pythagoreio, with a remarkable increase in altitude from 949 feet to 31,946 feet over the course of approximately 14 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 57 nautical miles. Following this climb, the enroute level cruise began about 55 miles northeast at LG56 Olimpoi Aerodrome Chios, and it lasted for a period of 7 minutes, covering another 55 nautical miles.
The enroute descent phase started about 17 miles west of Skala Eresou, where the altitude diminished by a considerable drop of 19,960 feet from 32,017 feet to 12,057 feet in the span of about 9 minutes. This decline covered 67 nautical miles. Subsequently, another brief level cruise ensued about 15 miles north-west of Atsiki and lasted only 3 minutes, while covering a small distance of 22 nautical miles. The subsequent descent phase initiated around 10 miles south-east of Theologos, Greece, resulting in an altitude decrease by 10,471 feet from 12,047 feet to 1,576 feet over the span of about 9 minutes, covering 27 nautical miles.
As the aircraft entered its final stage, the instrument guided the pilot to prepare for the landing at LGKV Kavala Alexander the Great International Airport, approaching runway 23 from the north-east with a heading of 232.0 ° at 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,553 feet above-ground-level (AGL). Landing took place with satisfactory threshold height. The threshold speed was within normal range at 121 knots. Touchdown occurred 191 meters beyond the touchdown zone with an average landing speed of 114 knots. The touchdown rate was smooth, averaging -135 ft per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very close to being perfectly aligned, with some minor discrepancies that are typically unavoidable.
The landing took place under a different set of local weather conditions, with a temperature of 20 °C and a 2-knot wind blowing northwest, accompanied by a negligible headwind and a minimal crosswind of 1kt. This was followed by a relatively short total landing distance of 1,522 meters, accounting for 51% of the runway's total length. While the runway rollout alignment showed some small deviation from the centreline, the deviations were relatively minor, measuring about 8.7 meters.
The post-landing procedure involved a 4-minute taxiing period to return to the aircraft's parking position, covering less than 1 nautical mile. This comprehensive flight exercise consumed a total distance of 235 nautical miles in a time span of 56 minutes, with the aircraft utilizing 2,361 kilograms of fuel.

A comprehensive report on the Airbus A319 landing at LGKV Kavala Alexander the Great International Airport highlights an impressive 95.5% score. The aircraft was approaching from the north-east, heading 232.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,553 feet above ground level (agl).
As the aircraft entered the final approach phase, it demonstrated a high level of proficiency, with the touch down speed being recorded at 121 kt. This threshold speed was adequate, ensuring a safe and controlled descent. The touchdown point, however, was located 191 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which resulted in a slightly longer landing distance than optimal.
The landing performance was characterized by a smooth touchdown speed of 114 kt, which further reinforces the pilot's expertise in handling the aircraft during the critical phases of flight. The touchdown rate, measured at -135 fpm, was consistent with standard practices, thereby minimizing the forces exerted on the aircraft during the landing phase.
The runway itself had an optimal length of 2,995 meters, and the local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 20°C and a gentle wind blowing at 2 kt from a direction of 130°. The resulting crosswind of 1 kt and headwind of 0 kt further reduced the challenges associated with landing the aircraft.
However, despite these positive factors, the post-landing performance of the aircraft was compromised slightly. The total landing distance covered was 1,522 meters, accounting for 51% of the runway length. While this is within acceptable limits, it is still slightly longer than desired. Furthermore, the runway rollout alignment was found to be slightly misaligned from the centerline by 8.7 meters.
Overall, this report highlights a high level of proficiency among the pilots and the crew, but also underscores the importance of fine-tuning their skills to achieve optimal performance.
