Monitor your speed
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.

One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
Side view — the last 1,334 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,334 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 43 m touchdown sits inside 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 Athens Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport, a process that took 14 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. Departure roll took place on runway 03L, with the aircraft lifting off after a takeoff distance of 1,293 meters, which was 40% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 155 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it encountered local weather conditions of 16°C temperature and a wind speed of 21 knots at 50 degrees. The crosswind was 5 knots, while the headwind was 20 knots. The enroute climb started over the airport, with the aircraft ascending from 1,321 feet above sea level to 37,778 feet, an increase of 36,456 feet in just 10 minutes, covering a distance of 82 nautical miles.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 41 minutes and covered a distance of 1,070 nautical miles. This phase took place 5 miles southeast of Glyfada, Central Greece. The aircraft then began its descent, starting 1 mile east of Champien, Hauts-de-France, France, and descending from 37,562 feet to 10,257 feet in 18 minutes, covering a distance of 110 nautical miles.
The aircraft entered another level cruise phase, this time lasting 4 minutes and covering 17 nautical miles, starting 1 mile southwest of Eastry, Kent, England. However, this was short-lived, as the aircraft began its descent once again, this time from 10,361 feet to 3,588 feet in 9 minutes, covering a distance of 34 nautical miles, starting 9 miles north of Westgate on Sea, Kent, England.
The aircraft entered yet another level cruise phase, lasting 9 minutes and covering 8 nautical miles, starting 1 mile southwest of East Tilbury, Borough of Thurrock, England. However, this was followed by another descent, from 2,975 feet to 2,093 feet in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles, starting 1 mile east of Bexley, Greater London, England.
The aircraft entered its final level cruise phase, lasting 5 minutes and covering 5 nautical miles, starting 1 mile northwest of Chislehurst, Greater London, England. This was followed by the final approach to runway 09 at London City Airport, with the aircraft heading 93.0 degrees at 3 nautical miles and 1,771 feet above ground level.
The landing took place on runway 09, with a runway length of 1,334 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 128 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 45 meters, and the touchdown speed was 126 knots, also good. However, the touchdown rate was very heavy at -851 feet per minute.
The total landing distance was 460 meters, which was 34% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect. The taxiing to the parking area from the runway took just 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,339 nautical miles, taking 104 minutes, and the aircraft used 7,811 kilograms of fuel.
The Airbus A319 aircraft successfully landed at London City Airport (EGLC) on runway 09, achieving a score of 93.3%. The final approach was initiated from the west, heading 93.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,771 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach to the runway was precise, with a good threshold height and a slightly below-target threshold speed of 128 knots.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft performed well, with a touchdown distance of 45 meters and a touchdown speed of 126 knots, both of which were considered good. However, the touchdown rate was somewhat concerning, registering a very heavy -851 feet per minute (fpm). Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was well-aligned with the runway.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 2°C and a wind speed of 5 knots from a direction of 90°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind component and a 5-knot headwind, which likely contributed to the aircraft's stable approach and touchdown.
The total landing distance of 460 meters was 34% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft was able to stop within a reasonable distance. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, suggesting that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft performing well in terms of approach, touchdown, and rollout. However, the heavy touchdown rate may be a concern for future flights, and the pilots may need to review their approach and touchdown procedures to minimize this factor.
