Flight Score
Departure
Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.
What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 4.9°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without it.

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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,610 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 137 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft taxiing from the parking to the runway at Ndjili International Airport, taking 7 minutes and covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. Departure roll took place on runway 24, with a takeoff distance of 1,687 meters, which accounted for 51% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 160 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of Ndjili International Airport, it encountered local weather conditions of 34°C temperature and a wind speed of 12 knots at 290°. The crosswind component was 9 knots, while the headwind component was 7 knots. The enroute climb started 1 mile south east of Masina, Kinshasa City, Democratic Republic of the Congo, where the aircraft climbed from 2,006 feet above sea level to 4,339 feet above sea level, an increase of 2,334 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 4 miles south of Masina and lasted 5 minutes, covering a distance of 13 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute climb 9 miles north east of Ndjili International Airport, climbing from 4,601 feet above sea level to 39,845 feet above sea level, an increase of 35,244 feet in 23 minutes, covering a distance of 153 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 40 miles east of Bolobo, Mai Ndombe, Democratic Republic of the Congo, and lasted 47 minutes, covering a distance of 336 nautical miles. As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its enroute descent 2 miles south west of Tandala Airport, Tandala, Province du Sud-Ubangi, Democratic Republic of the Congo, descending from 39,572 feet above sea level to 5,732 feet above sea level, a decrease of 33,840 feet in 18 minutes, covering a distance of 109 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began another enroute descent 14 miles north of Bangui M'Poko International Airport, Bangui, Ombella-Mpoko, Central African Republic, descending from 5,424 feet above sea level to 2,680 feet above sea level, a decrease of 2,744 feet in 4 minutes, covering a distance of 10 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 16 at Bangui M'Poko International Airport was made from the north, heading 167.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,473 feet above ground level. The landing took place on runway 16, which had a length of 2,610 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 131 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 136 meters, and the touchdown speed was 130 knots, which was also good. However, the touchdown rate was very heavy at -710 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the local weather conditions were 26°C temperature and a wind speed of 2 knots at 270°, with a crosswind component of 2 knots and a tailwind component of 1 knot.
The total landing distance was 1,162 meters, which accounted for 45% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 9.3 meters from the centreline. Taxiing to the parking from the runway took 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 634 nautical miles, taking 104 minutes, and the aircraft used 3,797 kilograms of fuel.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at FEFF Bangui M'Poko International Airport, achieving a score of 91.5%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north, heading 167.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,473 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a precise final approach, taking into account the local weather conditions, which included a temperature of 26°C and a gentle wind of 2 kt at 270°.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on runway 16, which has a length of 2,610 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was maintained at 131 kt, indicating a well-executed landing. The touchdown distance of 136 meters was also within acceptable limits. The touchdown speed of 130 kt was good, and the touchdown rate of -710 fpm was slightly heavy, but not excessively so.
The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's skill and attention to detail. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 9.3 meters from the centreline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the aircraft's trajectory during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated good control and precision throughout the approach and landing phases. The slight misalignment during the rollout phase was the only notable deviation from an otherwise excellent landing.
