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 7.6 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Begin the flare with progressive back pressure and keep it coming until the sink is arrested, rather than flying it on flat.
What happened: The nose was barely raised in the flare and little of the sink was taken out, flying the aircraft onto the runway. This pattern usually carries through to a firm touchdown with a noticeable sink rate.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a smoothly reducing sink through the normal flare band, not a steady rate into the runway.
A small uncorrected heading error at 40 knots becomes a metre of offset per second by 100 knots, noticed only at rotation, producing a crabbed liftoff. Root cause is nearly always eyes on the tape instead of the far end of the runway. Small heading changes displace a distant point visibly long before the nearby centreline stripes look wrong.

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.

Side view — the last 1,746 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,746 m of the 3,200 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 377 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing Conakry International Airport, GUCY, the Airbus A320 began its journey with a taxiing period of 5 minutes, covering less than 1 nautical mile to reach the runway. The departure roll commenced on runway 24, with a takeoff distance of 1,317 meters, utilizing 40% of the available runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 160 knots, overcoming a headwind of 3 knots and a crosswind of 1 knot.
As the aircraft climbed away from Conakry, it transitioned into an enroute climb, reaching an altitude of 13,009 feet above sea level in 5 minutes, covering a distance of 27 nautical miles. The climb commenced 1 mile southwest of the airport, with an initial altitude of 1,029 feet above sea level. Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, lasting 2 minutes and covering 11 nautical miles. The descent phase began 27 miles west of Kambia, Sierra Leone, with the aircraft descending from 13,011 feet to 1,412 feet above sea level in 10 minutes, covering 46 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 30 at Lungi International Airport, GFLL, was conducted from the east, with a heading of 287.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,312 feet above ground level. The landing was executed with a touchdown distance of 379 meters, utilizing 52% of the available runway. The touchdown speed was slightly fast at 128 knots, but the runway touchdown alignment was very good. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in 1 minute, covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 91 nautical miles, with a total flight time of 25 minutes and a fuel consumption of 1,057 kilograms.
The final approach to runway 30 at GFLL Lungi International Airport was executed from the east, heading 287.0° at 4 nm and 1,312 ft above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height and threshold speed of 134 kt, indicating a well-controlled descent. The aircraft maintained a steady state, allowing for a smooth touchdown.
As the aircraft touched down on the runway, the touchdown distance of 379 m was within acceptable limits. However, the touchdown speed of 128 kt was slightly above the optimal range, resulting in a firm touchdown rate of -342 fpm. Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating precise control during the final stages of the approach. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 28 °C and a gentle headwind of 2 kt, contributed to a stable and predictable flight path.
The total landing distance of 1,671 m, accounting for 52% of the runway length, was within the acceptable range. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control and stability during the critical phases of the landing. Overall, the landing performance scored 98.0%, reflecting a high level of proficiency and adherence to standard operating procedures.
