The flight in question was an Airbus A320 operation that commenced with taxiing from the parking to the runway, a process that took 11 minutes and covered a distance of approximately 3 nautical miles (nm). Once clear of the parking area, the aircraft lined up on runway 05 at HTDA Julius Nyerere International Airport in Tanzania. The initial departure roll was smooth, with the aircraft lifting off the runway after covering a distance of 1,419 meters, which accounted for 45% of the total runway length. The liftoff speed was recorded at 162 knots.
The local weather conditions during this phase of the flight were characterized by a temperature of 27 degrees Celsius and a light wind of 7 knots bearing 120 degrees. The crosswind component was 7 knots, while the headwind component was a relatively minor 2 knots. The climb started shortly after liftoff, as the aircraft began its ascent from the elevated Julius Nyerere International Airport to a cruising altitude of 10,354 feet above sea level (asl). This impressive climb of 9,151 feet in just 4 minutes covered a distance of 16 nm.
The enroute level cruise phase of the flight began approximately 15 miles north of Dar es Salaam, marking the initial stabilization of the aircraft at a cruising altitude of 10,354 feet asl. This stable cruise phase lasted for a brief 2 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 8 nm. In preparation for the next phase of the flight, the aircraft embarked on a controlled descent from 10,355 feet asl to 1,354 feet asl, losing a total of 9,001 feet in the process. This gradual descent took 8 minutes to complete and covered a distance of 18 nm. The descent phase concluded 13 miles east of Bagamoyo in Tanzania's Coast Region.
The final approach to runway 18 at HTZA Abeid Amani Karume International Airport was conducted from the north, with the aircraft maintaining a steady heading of 174.0 degrees at an altitude of 4 nm and 1,283 feet above ground level (agl). The approach was characterized by good threshold height and threshold speed, with the aircraft touching down safely on the runway. The touchdown speed was recorded at 136 knots, which was slightly faster than the recommended speed. The touchdown distance was a respectable 434 meters, and the touchdown rate was fair at -212 feet per minute (fpm). Notably, the runway touchdown alignment was very good.
Following a smooth landing, the aircraft rolled out on the runway, maintaining perfect alignment throughout the rollout. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 25 degrees Celsius and a relatively benign wind of 7 knots bearing 117 degrees, with a crosswind component of 6 knots and a headwind component of 4 knots. The total landing distance covered 1,002 meters, accounting for 33% of the runway length.
In the final phase of the flight, the aircraft taxied from the runway back to the parking area, a process that took a mere 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nm. The total flight distance was a respectable 51 nm, with the flight duration totaling 28 minutes. Notably, the aircraft utilized a significant amount of fuel during the flight, consuming 1,004 kilograms of fuel.

The aircraft that executed this landing is an Airbus A320. This particular landing scored an impressive 99.8%. The aircraft made a final approach to runway 18 at HTZA Abeid Amani Karume International Airport, which is a significant airport located in Tanzania. The final approach to the runway was executed from the north, while navigating in a direction of 174.0 °, at an altitude of 4 nautical miles (7.4 km) and 1,283 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway, demonstrating good control and precision. The threshold height was considered to be within acceptable limits. The threshold speed, which is a critical factor in the landing process, was deemed to be good, being measured at 141 knots (161 mph). Furthermore, the touchdown distance, which is an essential parameter in assessing the quality of the landing, was evaluated as good, with a measured distance of 434 meters (1,424 feet).
However, there were a couple of areas where the pilot performed slightly outside the optimal parameters. The touchdown speed, measured at 136 knots (156 mph), was deemed to be somewhat fast by standard landing protocols. Additionally, the touchdown rate, which is an essential safety parameter, was considered fair, with a measured value of -212 feet-per-minute (fpm). In spite of these slight deviations, the pilot managed the landing with remarkable skill, ensuring a very good result.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 25 °C (77 °F), a wind speed of 7 knots (8 mph) at 117 °, resulting in a crosswind of 6 knots (7 mph) and a headwind of 4 knots (5 mph). The combination of these factors posed no significant challenges to the pilot.
A review of the data indicates that the landing distance, measured at 1,002 meters (3,287 feet), was relatively low, accounting for just 33% of the runway length. Notably, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, which speaks to the pilot's focus on precision and control during the landing process. The runway rollout alignment, once the aircraft had touched down and started to decelerate, was equally impressive – perfect, to be precise. Overall, this was a highly commendable landing performance, reflecting a high level of skill and professionalism from the pilot in command.
