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 12 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
A crosswind landing is a geometry problem. The air mass you're flying in is moving sideways across the runway, and you need your ground track down the centreline with your wheels aligned to it at the moment of contact. There are two techniques that will help, the crab and the sideslip.

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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,297 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 373 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 GLRB Roberts International Airport, taking 7 minutes and covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. Departure roll took place on runway 22, with a takeoff distance of 1,362 meters, which was 45% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 156 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of the airport, it encountered local weather conditions of 28°C temperature and a wind speed of 5 knots at 279°. The crosswind was 5 knots, and the headwind was 2 knots. The enroute climb started 1 mile southwest of the airport, where the aircraft climbed from 1,056 feet above sea level to 9,307 feet above sea level, an increase of 8,251 feet in 4 minutes, covering a distance of 13 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 10 miles east of GLMR Spriggs Payne Airport, lasting 2 minutes and covering 8 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute climb 5 miles southwest of Bensonville, climbing from 9,644 feet above sea level to 37,381 feet above sea level, an increase of 27,737 feet in 12 minutes, covering a distance of 83 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 1 mile east of Pujehun, lasting 9 minutes and covering 62 nautical miles. As the aircraft continued its journey, it began an enroute descent 8 miles southwest of Moyamba, descending from 37,354 feet above sea level to 2,140 feet above sea level, a decrease of 35,214 feet in 20 minutes, covering a distance of 113 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 8 miles southwest of Conakry, lasting 2 minutes and covering 3 nautical miles. The aircraft then began an enroute descent 4 miles southwest of Conakry, descending from 2,080 feet above sea level to 1,357 feet above sea level, a decrease of 723 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 06 at GUCY Conakry International Airport was made from the southwest, heading 49.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,286 feet above ground level. The landing took place on runway 06, which had a length of 3,297 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 126 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 373 meters, and the touchdown speed was 115 knots, which was also good. The touchdown rate was smooth at -108 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.9 meters from the centreline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 29°C temperature and a wind speed of 6 knots at 110°, with a crosswind of 5 knots and a headwind of 3 knots.
The total landing distance was 960 meters, which was 29% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 13.6 meters from the centreline. After landing, the aircraft taxiied to the parking area, taking 4 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 294 nautical miles, taking 62 minutes, and the aircraft used 2,101 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A319 successfully landed at Conakry International Airport, achieving a score of 95.1%. The aircraft approached the runway from the southwest, heading 49.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,286 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with good control, and the aircraft landed smoothly on runway 06, which has a length of 3,297 meters.
The threshold height was satisfactory, and the threshold speed was maintained at 126 knots, indicating a well-executed approach. The touchdown distance of 373 meters was also within acceptable limits, and the touchdown speed of 115 knots was good. The touchdown rate of -108 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth, indicating a controlled descent.
However, there were some minor deviations from the ideal landing performance. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.9 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight drift or crosswind effect. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 29°C and a wind speed of 6 knots at 110°, contributed to a crosswind of 5 knots and a headwind of 3 knots.
The total landing distance of 960 meters was 29% of the runway length, which is within acceptable limits. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 13.6 meters from the centerline, indicating a slight deviation from the ideal path. Overall, the landing was successful, but there is room for improvement in terms of alignment and control during the rollout phase.
