This flight was conducted on an Airbus A319 aircraft, beginning with a 10-minute taxiing period from the parking area to the runway. The aircraft then took off from runway 05 at the Kavala Alexander the Great International Airport. Key takeoff parameters included a liftoff speed of 151 kt and a takeoff distance that corresponded to 50% of the runway length. Local weather conditions at the time included a temperature of 24 °C, a wind of 5 kt at 99 °, resulting in a 4 kt crosswind and a 4 kt headwind.
In the subsequent enroute climb phase, the aircraft lifted off 1 mile north east of the departure airport and climbed to an altitude of 30,894 ft. The climb phase covered a distance of 33 nm, took 12 minutes, and achieved an increase in altitude of 29,883 ft from an initial height of 1,011 ft.
Following the climb, the aircraft transitioned into a level cruise phase that lasted for 11 minutes and spanned a distance of 77 nm, 18 miles south east of Theologos in Eastern Macedonia and Thrace, Greece.
The first descent phase started 18 miles west of Eresos in the North Aegean region, where the aircraft descended from an altitude of 31,062 ft to 3,057 ft, covering a distance of 105 nm and taking 19 minutes. This was followed by another level cruise phase that began 7 miles south west of Marathokampos in the North Aegean, Greece, lasting for 7 minutes and covering 12 nm.
The final approach was conducted on runway 09 at the Samos Airport, approaching from the west and maintaining an altitude of 1,974 ft. Upon landing, the aircraft touched down with a speed of 118 kt, which was a little fast, but had a good threshold speed of 121 kt and good runway alignment.
Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in just 2 minutes, covering less than 1 nm. The total flight distance covered was 244 nm, with a flight time of 61 minutes, and it consumed 2,485 kg of fuel throughout the duration of the flight.

A comprehensive evaluation of the Airbus A319's landing performance at LGSM Samos Airport is presented below.
The aircraft's final approach was smooth, with a heading of 93.0° from the west, approximately 4 nautical miles from the runway, at an altitude of 1,974 feet above ground level (agl). This positioning allowed for a precise approach and ensured the pilots maintained control throughout the descent.
Notably, the touchdown on runway 09 at LGSM Samos Airport occurred with acceptable results. The runway length of 1,973 meters did not pose a challenge, and the threshold height was adequate for a safe landing. The pilots adhered to the recommended threshold speed, arriving at 121 knots. Similarly, the touchdown distance of 254 meters was within acceptable limits.
However, minor lapses in performance were observed. Specifically, the touchdown speed of 118 knots was slightly higher than desired, but it did not significantly impact the landing outcome. The rate of descent at -290 feet per minute (fpm) fell into the 'fair' category, indicating some degree of adjustment could have been made for a smoother touchdown.
In the context of local weather conditions, the temperature of 24°C and light wind of 4 knots at a 10° angle from the northwest did not pose significant challenges. Consequently, crosswind and headwind components were minimal.
In conclusion, the evaluation of the Airbus A319's performance during the landing at LGSM Samos Airport shows a high level of proficiency. The total landing distance covered 45% of the runway, culminating in a well-aligned runway rollout.
