This flight began with the Airbus A319 aircraft taxiing from its parking location to the runway, a process that took approximately 7 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles (nm). Departing from runway 30L at St. Louis Lambert International Airport (KSTL), the takeoff distance was 1,662 meters, which accounted for 53% of the runway. During takeoff, the liftoff speed of the aircraft was 159 knots (kt).
Local weather conditions at the time of departure included a temperature of 15 °C and a wind speed of 0 kt from the direction 180°. With no crosswind or headwind, the aircraft was able to take off safely and efficiently. The enroute climb began overhead the airport, with the aircraft ascending from an altitude of 1,669 feet above sea level (asl) to 37,221 ft asl. This increase of 35,552 feet was achieved within 18 minutes, covering a distance of 117 nm.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, starting 5 miles north of Oblong, Illinois. This phase of flight lasted for 5 minutes and covered an additional 47 nm. However, the aircraft soon began its descent, starting from a point 5 miles northwest of the IN53 Miller Airport in Spencer, Indiana. The descent took the aircraft down from 36,762 ft asl to 3,702 ft asl, a decrease of 33,060 feet within 16 minutes, while covering 125 nm.
The enroute level cruise resumed 1 mile northwest of Pleasant Hill, Ohio, and lasted for 7 minutes, covering 14 nm. Following this, the aircraft began its descent for a second time, starting from a point 4 miles southwest of Christiansburg, Ohio. The second descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 3,698 ft asl to 2,339 ft asl, a decrease of 1,358 feet within 2 minutes, while covering just 4 nm.
The final approach to runway 24R at James M. Cox Dayton International Airport (KDAY) came from the north east, with a heading of 235.0° at a distance of 4 nm and an altitude of 1,332 feet above ground level (agl). The landing took place on runway 24R, which has a length of 3,317 meters. Local weather conditions during landing included a temperature of 12 °C, wind speeds of 2 kt from the direction 260°, a 1 kt crosswind, and a 1 kt headwind. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also sufficient at 122 kt.
Upon landing, the touchdown point was 51 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 117 kt, which was considered good. The touchdown rate was fair at -241 feet per minute (fpm), and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The total landing distance was 1,403 meters, accounting for 42% of the runway. Finally, the runway rollout alignment was also very good. After landing, the aircraft took only 4 minutes to taxi to its parking location, covering less than 1 nm. The total flight distance was 315 nm, and the aircraft used 2,552 kilograms of fuel throughout the flight, consuming a significant amount over a period of 61 minutes.

The Airbus A319 achieved a commendable score of 98.5% during its landing at KDAY James M Cox Dayton International Airport. The aircraft made its final approach to runway 24R from the north east, heading 235.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,332 feet above ground level.
Upon landing, the aircraft displayed good threshold height and speed, with the threshold speed being maintained at 122 knots. The touchdown point occurred 51 meters beyond the touchdown zone, but the touchdown speed of 117 knots was still within acceptable limits. However, the touchdown rate of -241 feet per minute could be considered fair, as it falls slightly below the optimal rate for a smooth landing.
Despite the slightly elevated touchdown rate, the local weather conditions were largely favorable for the landing. The temperature was a moderate 12°C, and the wind was minimal, blowing at 2 knots from 260°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind of 1 knot, but a slight headwind of 1 knot, which likely had a minimal impact on the aircraft's performance.
The total landing distance covered by the A319 was 1,403 meters, which accounts for only 42% of the available runway. This indicates a relatively long landing roll, which could be attributed to the aircraft's deceleration performance and the pilots' response to the touchdown situation. Nonetheless, the runway rollout alignment was very good, highlighting a high degree of control and precision exercised by the pilots.
Overall, the A319's landing at KDAY James M Cox Dayton International Airport was a solid achievement, with a few areas for improvement noted in the touchdown rate and landing distance. The favorable weather conditions and good runway alignment further contributed to a smooth and controlled landing operation.
