The flight began its taxiing phase from the parking area to the designated runway, which took approximately 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft used to perform this flight was an Airbus A319, and it prepared to depart from runway 10 at LPHR Horta Airport. The aircraft then accelerated down the runway, and after successfully taking off, it established a liftoff speed of 138 knots.
During takeoff, the aircraft covered a distance of 869 meters, which represented 55% of the usable runway. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 21 degrees Celsius, with a 5-knot wind blowing from a direction of 49 degrees. The crosswind was 3 knots, and the headwind was 4 knots. These conditions presented a favorable environment for takeoff.
After departing from LPHR, the aircraft began its enroute climb phase, which initiated over Castelo Branco, a location in Azores, Portugal. During the climb, the aircraft raised its altitude from 1,045 feet above sea level to 19,343 feet above sea level, an increase of 18,298 feet over 11 minutes. The climb distance covered was approximately 58 nautical miles.
Following the climb phase, the aircraft transitioned into an enroute level cruise phase. This phase began 24 miles southeast of Santo Antao, also in Azores, Portugal, and lasted for approximately 2 minutes. The aircraft covered a horizontal distance of 13 nautical miles during this phase.
Next, the aircraft entered the enroute descent phase, which started 27 miles south of Porto Judeu, Portugal. During the descent, the aircraft decreased its altitude from 19,338 feet above sea level to 1,665 feet above sea level, a decrease of 17,674 feet over 13 minutes. The horizontal distance covered during the descent was approximately 71 nautical miles.
The final approach phase began 4 nautical miles away from João Paulo II Airport's runway 12, with the aircraft heading in a direction of 106 degrees. The aircraft continued its descent until it touched down on the runway, which was 2,246 meters long.
The landing conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 19 degrees Celsius and a 5-knot wind blowing from a direction of 30 degrees. The crosswind was 5 knots, and the headwind was 1 knot. The aircraft successfully touched down on the runway, and its touchdown distance was 390 meters, which represented 49% of the total runway length. The touchdown speed was 118 knots, which was within the acceptable range. The touchdown rate was firm at -353 feet per minute, but the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
After landing, the aircraft engaged the reverse thrust to control its movement down the runway. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 9.3 meters. The aircraft finally stopped and transitioned into the taxiing phase.
Taxiing to the parking area from the runway took approximately 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 148 nautical miles, and the total flight time was 34 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 1,740 kilograms of fuel during the entire flight.

The Airbus A319 successfully completed a flawless landing at LPPD João Paulo II Airport on runway 12. With a score of 96.0%, this landing demonstrated a high level of proficiency in aircraft operation. The aircraft approached the runway from the west at a heading of 106.0°, maintaining an altitude of 1,430 feet above ground level (agl) and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway before beginning its descent.
As the aircraft descended onto the runway, it demonstrated excellent control and precision, achieving good threshold height and speed. The threshold speed was recorded at 122 knots, and the touchdown speed was measured at a safe 118 knots. The touchdown distance was also satisfactory, covering 390 meters of the runway. Moreover, the touchdown rate of -353 feet per minute was firm, ensuring a smooth stop after touchdown.
The landing also took into account the local weather conditions, which featured a temperature of 19°C and a gentle wind of 5 knots at 30°. Although the crosswind was slightly strong at 5 knots, the headwind was minimal, providing favorable conditions for the landing. Considering the runway length of 2,246 meters, the aircraft performed an excellent job in covering only 49% of its length.
Although the aircraft displayed exceptional landing skills, there was a minor deviation during the runway rollout alignment. With an offset of 9.3 meters from the centerline, the pilots slightly misaligned the aircraft's position on the runway. However, this minor deviation was quickly corrected, showcasing the crew's ability to adapt and respond to unexpected situations. Overall, this landing showcases the Airbus A319's capabilities and the proficiency of the pilots involved.
