The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 5 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, an Airbus A320, then departed from runway 16 at Wellington International Airport (NZWN). The takeoff distance was 1,155 meters, which accounted for 64% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 146 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 14 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 23 knots at 219 degrees. The crosswind was 14 knots, while the headwind was 18 knots. After departing from Wellington, the enroute climb started 1 mile south of the airport, with the aircraft ascending from 1,011 feet above sea level to 29,650 feet above sea level, an increase of 28,639 feet in 20 minutes and covering 120 nautical miles.

The Airbus A320 aircraft successfully landed at Tauranga Airport (NZTG) on runway 07, achieving an overall score of 80.6%. The final approach was initiated from the west, heading 94.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,117 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway, with the threshold height being above the target at 68 feet agl. However, the threshold speed was satisfactory at 134 knots, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown point was located further down the runway, utilizing more than 50% of the available runway length. This suggests that the aircraft may have been slightly long on the landing, but still managed to come to a stop within the designated runway area.
The touchdown speed of 120 knots was within the acceptable range, indicating that the pilot maintained control and managed the aircraft's descent effectively. However, the touchdown rate of -622 feet per minute (fpm) was considered heavy, suggesting that the aircraft may have experienced a slightly harder-than-expected landing. This could be attributed to various factors, including the aircraft's weight, the wind conditions, or the pilot's technique.
The runway touchdown alignment was reported to be very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline during the landing. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 10°C and a light wind of 3 knots from 250°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the tailwind component was 3 knots, which may have contributed to the slightly long touchdown point.
The total landing distance of 1,468 meters was 81% of the available runway length, indicating that the aircraft had sufficient stopping distance to come to a stop safely. The runway rollout alignment was also reported to be very good, suggesting that the aircraft maintained its alignment with the runway centerline during the rollout phase.
Overall, while the landing was not perfect, the Airbus A320 aircraft demonstrated a satisfactory performance at Tauranga Airport, with the pilot successfully navigating the aircraft to a safe touchdown.
