Straighten the rollout
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.

Side view — the last 2,042 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,042 m of the 3,006 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 135 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Airbus A319 taxiing from the parking area to the runway at GABS Modibo Keita International Airport, taking approximately 9 minutes to cover a distance of 2 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 24, with the aircraft lifting off after a takeoff distance of 1,666 meters, which accounted for 52% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 147 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 34 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 5 knots at a direction of 90 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a tailwind of 4 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile southwest of the airport and ascending from an altitude of 2,219 feet above sea level to 35,880 feet, an increase of 33,662 feet in 19 minutes, covering a distance of 118 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 25 miles east of Kolondieba in the Sikasso Region of Mali. This phase lasted for 43 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 291 nautical miles. The enroute descent phase began 22 miles northeast of Daoukro in the Lacs region of the Ivory Coast, with the aircraft descending from an altitude of 36,314 feet to 1,296 feet in 22 minutes, covering a distance of 114 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 21 at DIAP Félix-Houphouët-Boigny International Airport was made from the north, with the aircraft heading 202.0 degrees at an altitude of 4 nautical miles and 1,272 feet above ground level. The landing took place on a runway with a length of 3,006 meters, and the threshold height was good. The threshold speed was also good at 128 knots, but the touchdown speed of 125 knots was slightly fast. The touchdown rate was hard at -421 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.1 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 29 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 9 knots at a direction of 200 degrees. This resulted in a headwind of 9 knots and no crosswind. The total landing distance was 1,960 meters, accounting for 65% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 13.2 meters from the centerline.
The flight concluded with the aircraft taxiing to the parking area from the runway, taking approximately 2 minutes to cover a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 532 nautical miles, taking a total of 95 minutes, and the aircraft used 3,117 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A319 aircraft successfully landed at DIAP Félix-Houphouët-Boigny International Airport, achieving a score of 92.3%. The final approach to runway 21 was initiated from the north, with a heading of 202.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,272 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach was characterized by a good threshold height, indicating that the pilots maintained a safe altitude prior to touchdown.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway at a speed of 125 kt, which was slightly faster than the recommended threshold speed of 128 kt. However, the touchdown distance of 137 meters was deemed good, suggesting that the pilots maintained control of the aircraft during the landing phase. The touchdown rate of -421 feet per minute (fpm) was considered hard, indicating that the aircraft's descent was steeper than desired.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 6.1 meters, which may have been due to factors such as crosswind or pilot error. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 29°C and a wind speed of 9 kt from a direction of 200°. The crosswind component was negligible, while the headwind component was 9 kt, which may have contributed to the slight misalignment of the touchdown position.
The total landing distance of 1,960 meters was 65% of the runway length, indicating that the pilots maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase. However, the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned from the centreline by 13.2 meters, suggesting that the pilots may have struggled to maintain directional control during the landing phase. Overall, while the landing was successful, there were some areas for improvement, particularly in terms of touchdown speed and runway alignment.
