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 8.4 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Begin the flare with progressive back pressure and keep it coming until the sink is arrested, rather than flying it on flat.
What happened: The nose was barely raised in the flare and little of the sink was taken out, flying the aircraft onto the runway. This pattern usually carries through to a firm touchdown with a noticeable sink rate.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a smoothly reducing sink through the normal flare band, not a steady rate into the runway.
Below 10,000 ft you are typically limited to 250 kt indicated (a US rule that much of the world mirrors in some form, though not universally). This forces a deceleration around 10,000 ft whether the profile wants one or not, so plan for it rather than discovering 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 3,297 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 447 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from GGOV Osvaldo Vieira International Airport, the Airbus A320 initiated its taxiing sequence, covering 2 nautical miles in 8 minutes before reaching the runway. The aircraft then began its departure roll on runway 21, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 159 kt after a takeoff distance of 1,458 meters, which equated to 45% of the available runway length. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 34 °C, with a gentle wind of 3 kt from 240°, resulting in a negligible crosswind and headwind component.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it transitioned into an enroute climb, ascending from 1,054 feet above sea level to 25,009 feet in 12 minutes, covering a distance of 71 nautical miles. This marked the beginning of a prolonged enroute phase, during which the aircraft leveled off at cruise altitude and maintained a steady heading. The enroute level cruise lasted for 9 minutes, covering a further 65 nautical miles. Subsequently, the aircraft commenced its enroute descent, gradually losing altitude from 25,016 feet to 1,322 feet in 12 minutes, while covering 60 nautical miles. The descent phase was followed by a final approach to runway 24 at GUCY Conakry International Airport, with the aircraft aligning itself for a touchdown on the runway.
The Airbus A320 touched down on runway 24 at a speed of 129 kt, with a touchdown distance of 446 meters, which was within the acceptable limits. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned, deviating by 6.8 meters from the centerline. The aircraft then rolled out on the runway, maintaining a very good alignment. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, covering less than 1 nautical mile in 3 minutes. The total flight distance was 204 nautical miles, with a total flight time of 43 minutes and a fuel consumption of 1,897 kg.
The aircraft touched down on runway 24 at GUCY Conakry International Airport with a good threshold height, allowing for a smooth transition from the approach to the touchdown phase. The threshold speed of 137 kt was well within the acceptable range, indicating a well-executed approach. The aircraft maintained a steady descent rate, touching down at a speed of 129 kt, which was also within the desired parameters.
However, the touchdown characteristics were not entirely flawless, with a touchdown rate of -266 fpm classified as fair. This may have been due to a slight deviation from the ideal touchdown speed or a minor adjustment in the aircraft's attitude during the final stages of the approach. The runway touchdown position was also slightly misaligned by 6.8 m from the centreline, which may have been a result of a minor crosswind component or a slight miscalculation in the approach path.
Despite these minor issues, the aircraft's rollout was executed very well, with excellent alignment on the centreline. The total landing distance of 1,159 m was 35% of the runway length, which is within the acceptable range. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 28 °C and a gentle headwind of 2 kt, did not pose any significant challenges to the landing. Overall, the landing was scored 97.2%, reflecting a high level of proficiency and control throughout the approach and touchdown phases.
