Flight Score
Departure
Rotate sooner, bringing the nose up at 149 kt rather than letting speed build further.
What happened: You lifted off at 168 kt against a rotation target of 149 kt, rotating late in the ground roll.
Watch for: Watch airspeed and rotate at the target of 149 kt.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Fly the flare as one continuous check of the sink rate from 25 ft, holding back pressure steadily rather than adjusting pitch piecemeal.
What happened: The flare drifted away from its intended profile rather than tracking it smoothly from 25 ft down to touchdown.
Watch for: Watch radio altitude and VSI through the flare, aiming to arrest the sink smoothly from 25 ft to touchdown.
See Arrival Landing
Below 10,000 ft you are typically limited to 250 kt indicated (a US rule that much of the world mirrors in some form, though not universally). This forces a deceleration around 10,000 ft whether the profile wants one or not, so plan for it rather than discovering it.

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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,006 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 574 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Airbus A319 taxiing from the parking area to the runway at FZAA Ndjili International Airport in Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of the Congo. This taxiing process took 10 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft then departed from runway 24, with a takeoff distance of 2,203 meters, which was 67% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 168 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions of 31°C temperature and a wind speed of 10 knots at 270°. The crosswind was 5 knots, and the headwind was 8 knots. The enroute climb started 1 mile southwest of FZAA Ndjili International Airport, where the aircraft climbed from 2,000 feet above sea level to 4,643 feet above sea level, an increase of 2,643 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 7 miles southwest of Masina, Kinshasa City, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 8 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute climb 2 miles northeast of Kasangulu, Province du Kongo Central, Democratic Republic of the Congo, where it climbed from 4,647 feet above sea level to 37,450 feet above sea level, an increase of 32,803 feet in 20 minutes, covering a distance of 124 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise then started 22 miles southeast of Tshela, Province du Kongo Central, and lasted for 163 minutes, covering a distance of 1,107 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent 10 miles southwest of Axim, Western Region, Ghana, where it descended from 36,949 feet above sea level to 2,047 feet above sea level, a decrease of 34,901 feet in 19 minutes, covering a distance of 96 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began another enroute climb 7 miles northeast of Bingerville, Abidjan, Ivory Coast, where it climbed from 2,046 feet above sea level to 2,805 feet above sea level, an increase of 760 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The enroute descent then started 8 miles northeast of Bingerville, where it descended from 2,796 feet above sea level to 2,071 feet above sea level, a decrease of 725 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise then started 5 miles northeast of Bingerville and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles. The enroute descent then started 2 miles north of Bingerville, where it descended from 2,080 feet above sea level to 1,302 feet above sea level, a decrease of 778 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 21 at DIAP Félix-Houphouët-Boigny International Airport was made from the north, heading 202.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,275 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 21 was successful, with a touchdown point 151 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 120 knots, which was good, and the touchdown rate was fair at -216 feet per minute.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 33°C temperature and a wind speed of 10 knots at 240°. The crosswind was 6 knots, and the headwind was 8 knots. The total landing distance was 1,187 meters, which was 39% of the runway length. The
The Airbus A319 successfully landed at DIAP Félix-Houphouët-Boigny International Airport, achieving a score of 97.0%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north, heading 202.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,275 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was made to runway 21, which has a length of 3,006 meters.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down 151 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a speed of 120 knots, which was considered good. However, the touchdown rate was fair at -216 feet per minute (fpm). The threshold height at 57 feet agl was slightly above the target, but the threshold speed was good at 130 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 33°C and a wind speed of 10 knots from 240°. This resulted in a crosswind of 6 knots and a headwind of 8 knots. Despite these conditions, the aircraft maintained a stable approach and landing.
One area for improvement was the runway touchdown position, which was slightly misaligned by 4.6 meters from the centerline. However, the runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain control and stability during the landing roll.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a good touchdown speed and a fair touchdown rate. The slight misalignment of the runway touchdown position was the only notable issue, but it did not significantly impact the overall performance of the landing.
