Flight Score
Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.
What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 9.7 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Keep the back pressure coming once the flare is established, holding the nose up through to touchdown instead of easing it.
What happened: The flare arrested the sink but 255 fpm of it came back before touchdown, and in flights like this one that returning sink usually carries through to a firm or hard touchdown at 418 fpm.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: the sink held near zero all the way through touchdown, not allowed to build back up.
Twenty knots on a monitor produces the visual sensation of about ten. The advice to "taxi at a walking pace" cannot fix this, because your sense of walking pace is exactly the thing that's broken. Put the groundspeed readout in your scan and obey it for the next fifty flights, the way a student pilot leans on the airspeed indicator before learning to read attitude.

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 523 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in question was operated by an Airbus A319 aircraft. The taxiing process from the parking area to the runway took approximately 7 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 24 at GABS Modibo Keita International Airport in Bamako, Mali. The aircraft lifted off the ground at a speed of 150 knots, covering a takeoff distance of 1,754 meters, which was 55% of the runway length.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 29 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 11 knots blowing from 359 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 10 knots and a tailwind of 6 knots. The aircraft began its enroute climb approximately 1 mile southwest of the airport, rising from an altitude of 2,196 feet above sea level to 36,134 feet above sea level, an increase of 33,938 feet, in 18 minutes and covering a distance of 105 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise phase started 20 miles northeast of Kolondieba in the Sikasso Region of Mali and lasted for 47 minutes, covering a distance of 314 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent 17 miles northwest of Abengourou in the Comoe region of the Ivory Coast, descending from 36,302 feet above sea level to 3,058 feet above sea level, a decrease of 33,245 feet, in 23 minutes and covering a distance of 119 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another enroute level cruise phase, this time starting 15 miles southwest of DIAP Félix-Houphouët-Boigny International Airport in Abidjan, Ivory Coast, and lasting for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles. The final enroute descent phase began 11 miles south of the airport, with the aircraft descending from 2,931 feet above sea level to 1,392 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,540 feet, in 2 minutes and covering a distance of 7 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 03 at DIAP Félix-Houphouët-Boigny International Airport was made from the south, with the aircraft heading 22.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,363 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway threshold. The landing took place on a runway with a length of 3,006 meters, and the threshold height was good. The threshold speed was also good at 129 knots.
The touchdown point was 107 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 119 knots, which was good. However, the touchdown rate was fair at -269 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 8.8 meters. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 28 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 6 knots blowing from 250 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 4 knots and a tailwind of 4 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,439 meters, which was 48% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned from the centerline by 8.4 meters. The taxiing process from the runway to the parking area took approximately 4 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 558 nautical miles, taking a total of 103 minutes, and the aircraft used 3,346 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A319 successfully landed at DIAP Félix-Houphouët-Boigny International Airport, achieving a score of 95.1%. The aircraft approached the runway from the south, heading 22.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,363 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a smooth final approach, maintaining a good threshold height and speed of 129 knots.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 107 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, with a speed of 119 knots. However, the touchdown rate was slightly below average at -269 feet per minute (fpm), which could be considered fair. The runway touchdown position was also slightly misaligned by 8.8 meters from the centerline, indicating a minor deviation from the ideal landing spot.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 28°C and a gentle wind of 6 knots from 250°. The crosswind and tailwind components were minimal, at 4 knots each, which did not significantly impact the landing. The total landing distance was 1,439 meters, accounting for 48% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the pilot effectively managed the aircraft's descent and touchdown.
During the rollout, the aircraft's alignment was slightly off-center by 8.4 meters, which is a minor deviation from the ideal path. Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated good control and precision in executing the final approach and touchdown. However, there is room for improvement in terms of touchdown rate and runway alignment.
