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 5.3 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Carry more power on approach to hold 133 kt at the threshold instead of letting speed decay into the flare.
What happened: The flare arrested the sink at 11 ft while already below the speed target, and the aircraft settled as the remaining energy ran out, usually carrying a firm touchdown with it at 412 fpm.
Watch for: Watch airspeed on short final against 133 kt, keeping it there through the flare.
Ground control varies with speed, full authority at walking pace, progressively reducing as groundspeed rises. The aircraft becomes twitchy at any speed, every small pedal input swings the nose, which can encourage large-amplitude leg inputs that no real aircraft would accept.

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.

Side view — the last 2,273 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,273 m of the 3,003 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 274 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft, an Airbus A319, taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Conakry International Airport, GUCY. This process took 10 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 24, and the aircraft lifted off after a takeoff distance of 1,614 meters, which was 49% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 155 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of Conakry, it encountered local weather conditions of 31°C temperature and a wind speed of 11 knots at 230 degrees. The crosswind was negligible, but the aircraft had a headwind of 11 knots. The enroute climb started overhead Conakry, where the aircraft ascended from 1,098 feet above sea level to 17,595 feet above sea level, an increase of 16,497 feet in 7 minutes, covering a distance of 34 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered a level cruise 18 miles west of Kambia, Sierra Leone, and remained at this altitude for 2 minutes, covering 11 nautical miles. However, the aircraft soon began another climb, this time from 17,808 feet to 36,241 feet above sea level, an increase of 18,433 feet in 10 minutes, covering a distance of 69 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise 13 miles south of Yonibana, Sierra Leone, and remained at this altitude for 8 minutes, covering 58 nautical miles.
As the aircraft continued its journey, it began a descent from 36,273 feet above sea level to 2,607 feet above sea level, a decrease of 33,666 feet in 16 minutes, covering a distance of 95 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise 4 miles south east of Kakata, Liberia, and remained at this altitude for 3 minutes, covering 7 nautical miles. However, the aircraft soon began another descent, this time from 2,132 feet above sea level to 1,424 feet above sea level, a decrease of 707 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 22 at Roberts International Airport, Monrovia, was made from the north east, heading 211.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,386 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 22 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 273 meters and a touchdown speed of 120 knots. The touchdown rate was fair at -298 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.1 meters from the centreline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 27°C temperature. The total landing distance was 2,186 meters, which was 73% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area from the runway, taking 3 minutes and covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 286 nautical miles, taking 65 minutes, and the aircraft used 2,344 kilograms of fuel.
The Airbus A319 successfully landed at Roberts International Airport, achieving a score of 96.5%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north-east, heading 211.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,386 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with precision, and the aircraft landed safely on runway 22, which has a length of 3,003 meters.
The threshold height was satisfactory, and the threshold speed of 128 knots was also within the acceptable range. The touchdown distance of 273 meters was good, indicating that the aircraft was able to slow down effectively before touching down on the runway. The touchdown speed of 120 knots was also within the desired range, demonstrating the pilot's ability to control the aircraft's descent.
However, the touchdown rate of -298 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair, suggesting that the aircraft may have touched down slightly harder than desired. Additionally, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.1 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the pilot's approach path.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 27°C. The total landing distance of 2,186 meters was 73% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase and bring it to a safe stop.
Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated good skills and judgment in executing the approach and landing. However, there is room for improvement in terms of touchdown rate and alignment with the centerline.
