The flight was operated by an Airbus A319 aircraft, which took off from runway 30 at LPPD João Paulo II Airport. It took 6 minutes to taxi from the parking area to the runway and cover a distance of 1 nautical mile. The takeoff roll was smooth, with the aircraft lifting off at a speed of 144 knots. At the time of departure, the local weather conditions were as follows: a temperature of 21 degrees Celsius, a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 5 degrees, a low crosswind of 4 knots, and a headwind of 1 knot.
As the aircraft climbed out of LPPD, it quickly reached an altitude of 1,027 feet above sea level, and began its enroute climb. The climb started overhead the town of Relva in the Azores, Portugal. During this phase, the aircraft gained an impressive vertical distance of 23,162 feet over a period of 9 minutes, while covering 50 nautical miles. This was the initial leg of the flight, enroute to its destination.
After leveling off, the aircraft entered the enroute cruise phase, which lasted for 9 minutes and covered a distance of 64 nautical miles. The cruise started 38 miles south east of the town of Porto Judeu in the Azores. Following the cruise, the aircraft initiated its descent, which started 2 miles east of Ribeira Seca in the Azores. The aircraft descended from an altitude of 24,352 feet above sea level to 1,080 feet asl over a distance of 41 nautical miles and in a time period of 12 minutes.

The aircraft in question was an Airbus A319 that successfully landed at LPHR Horta Airport, Portugal. The approach to runway 10 from the west was made after flying at an altitude of 977 feet (about 297 meters) and a distance of 4 nautical miles. The aircraft was aligned with the runway, heading 88.0°, which aligns well with standard landing procedures.
During the final approach, the pilots maintained a good threshold height and speed, indicating a proficient and controlled descent. The threshold speed was exactly 125 knots, which is ideal for a safe touchdown. The touchdown distance was also satisfactory, measuring 354 meters from the start of the runway, which is a considerable amount of space to stop the aircraft before it reaches the end of the runway.
However, the touchdown speed was a tad higher than expected, coming in at 121 knots. This speed is still within the acceptable range for a safe landing, but it may be slightly faster than desired. The touchdown rate was calculated at -165 feet per minute (fpm), which is considered a good indicator of a controlled and safe touchdown.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft maintained excellent runway touchdown alignment, indicating that the pilots expertly guided the aircraft onto the runway. This was also evident in the runway rollout alignment, which was described as very good. The presence of a total landing distance of 1,060 meters, accounting for 67% of the runway's 1,593 meters, suggests that the pilots had plenty of room to maneuver and control the aircraft as it decelerated from touchdown to a complete stop.
The local weather conditions on the day of the landing were relatively favorable, with a temperature of 18°C and a wind speed of 5 knots from a direction of 40 degrees. Broken down, this translates to a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 3 knots. These conditions, although not entirely calm, did not seem to pose significant challenges to the pilots and the aircraft during the landing process.
