Improve the rollout
The one change that would have gained the most on this flight, and the guide passage for it.
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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,014 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 246 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a quick taxiing process from the parking area to the runway, taking less than 1 minute and covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, an Airbus A320, then departed from runway 21 at Kotoka International Airport (DGAA) in Accra, Ghana. The takeoff distance was 963 meters, which accounted for 32% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 151 knots.
As the aircraft climbed into the air, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 16°C and a wind speed of 1 knot at 270°. The crosswind was 1 knot, and the headwind was 0 knots. The enroute climb started approximately 1 mile northeast of Accra, where the aircraft ascended from 1,088 feet above sea level to 21,715 feet above sea level, an increase of 20,627 feet in just 6 minutes. This climb covered a distance of 23 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began its descent, starting 13 miles northeast of Tema, Ghana. It descended from 21,341 feet above sea level to 11,800 feet above sea level, a decrease of 9,541 feet in just 3 minutes. This descent covered a distance of 24 nautical miles. The aircraft continued to climb and descend multiple times, with enroute climbs starting 20 miles west of Anloga and 6 miles east of Lomé–Tokoin International Airport in Togo.
The final approach to runway 22 at Lomé–Tokoin International Airport began from the northeast, with the aircraft heading 219.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,317 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 22 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 249 meters and a touchdown speed of 148 knots, which was slightly faster than the target speed. The touchdown rate was very heavy at -755 feet per minute, but the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 1 knot at 270°, with a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 1 knot. The total landing distance was 846 meters, which accounted for 28% of the runway length. However, the runway rollout alignment was misaligned by 27.2 meters from the centerline. The taxiing process from the runway to the parking area took 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
In total, the flight distance was 107 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 32 minutes. The aircraft used 22 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 aircraft successfully landed at DXXX Lomé–Tokoin International Airport, with a score of 82.7%. The final approach to runway 22 was initiated from the north east, heading 219.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,317 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach was characterized by a good threshold height, indicating that the pilots maintained a safe distance from the runway surface.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was significantly above the target speed, reaching 151 knots. This excessive speed may have contributed to the subsequent touchdown speed of 148 knots, which was faster than desired. The touchdown distance of 249 meters was considered good, but the heavy touchdown rate of -755 feet per minute (fpm) suggests that the aircraft may have touched down with a higher than ideal rate of descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a negligible wind speed of 1 knot from 270°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind and headwind component, making the landing conditions relatively straightforward. The total landing distance of 846 meters was 28% of the available runway length, indicating that the aircraft had sufficient stopping distance.
However, the runway rollout alignment was not perfectly aligned with the centerline, deviating by 27.2 meters. This misalignment may have been due to the pilots' response to the excessive touchdown speed or the aircraft's deceleration characteristics. Despite this, the overall landing performance was satisfactory, with the aircraft coming to a stop within a reasonable distance from the runway threshold.
