Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.
What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 8.4 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Ground control varies with speed, full authority at walking pace, progressively reducing as groundspeed rises. The aircraft becomes twitchy at any speed, every small pedal input swings the nose, which can encourage large-amplitude leg inputs that no real aircraft would accept.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.

Side view — the last 1,572 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,572 m of the 3,209 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 429 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Banjul International Airport (GBYD), the Airbus A320 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took approximately 5 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. Upon reaching runway 32, the aircraft initiated its departure roll, utilizing 1,567 meters, or 44% of the runway, to achieve liftoff at a speed of 168 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 30°C, with a wind speed of 8 knots from a direction of 280°, resulting in a 4-knot crosswind and a 7-knot headwind.
As the aircraft climbed away from Banjul, it began its enroute climb approximately 1 mile northwest of the airport, rising from an initial altitude of 1,086 feet above sea level to 14,978 feet, an increase of 13,892 feet in just 6 minutes, covering a distance of 29 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise phase commenced overhead Gunjur Airport (GBGU), where the aircraft maintained a steady altitude for 8 minutes, covering 57 nautical miles. Subsequently, the enroute descent phase started 4 miles west of Cacheu, Guinea-Bissau, during which the aircraft descended from 15,029 feet to 1,380 feet, a decrease of 13,649 feet in 10 minutes, covering 47 nautical miles.
Upon reaching the Osvaldo Vieira International Airport (GGOV), the aircraft initiated its final approach to runway 21 from the north, aligning itself with the runway at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,263 feet above ground level. The landing was executed successfully, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 131 knots, slightly above the recommended threshold speed. The total landing distance was 1,494 meters, or 47% of the runway length. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took approximately 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 141 nautical miles, with a flight time of 33 minutes and a fuel consumption of 1,451 kilograms.
The aircraft, an Airbus A320, initiated its final approach to runway 21 at GGOV Osvaldo Vieira International Airport from the north, aligning with a heading of 199.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,263 feet above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height achieved. As the aircraft descended onto the runway, it maintained a threshold speed of 136 knots, meeting the required standards.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was slightly above the optimal range at 131 knots, resulting in a touchdown rate of -157 feet per minute, which was still within acceptable limits. The touchdown distance of 425 meters was also within the desired parameters. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 4.3 meters, indicating a minor deviation from the ideal alignment. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 34°C and a gentle headwind of 3 knots, contributed to a relatively smooth landing.
Following touchdown, the aircraft's rollout was characterized by a slight misalignment from the centreline by 8.6 meters. The total landing distance of 1,494 meters, which accounted for 47% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. Overall, the landing performance of the Airbus A320 was satisfactory, with a score of 97.4% reflecting the minor deviations from the ideal approach and touchdown characteristics.
