Work on the flare
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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks at 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 2,539 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 228 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the departure roll from runway 24 at DFOO Bobo Dioulasso Airport, where the Airbus A320 took off with a takeoff distance of 1,042 meters, which is 32% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 149 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 18 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 270 degrees, resulting in a negligible crosswind and headwind.
As the aircraft climbed out of Bobo Dioulasso Airport, it began its enroute climb, which started 2 miles southwest of the airport. The aircraft climbed from an initial altitude of 2,294 feet above sea level to a maximum altitude of 26,888 feet, an increase of 24,593 feet in just 8 minutes, covering a distance of 41 nautical miles. This rapid climb was followed by a level cruise, which began 23 miles southwest of Salanso in the Boucle du Mouhoun Region of Burkina Faso. The cruise lasted for 9 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 65 nautical miles.
The enroute descent started 26 miles southwest of Barani in the Boucle du Mouhoun Region, where the aircraft descended from an altitude of 26,998 feet to 17,533 feet, a decrease of 9,465 feet in just 3 minutes, covering a distance of 24 nautical miles. The aircraft then leveled off and began another cruise, which lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 11 nautical miles. The second descent started 28 miles northwest of Barani and took the aircraft from an altitude of 16,340 feet to 3,067 feet, a decrease of 13,274 feet in 7 minutes, covering a distance of 39 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 23 at GAMB Mopti Ambodédjo International Airport began from the north-east, with the aircraft heading 227.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,272 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was made on runway 23, which has a length of 2,539 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was well above the target speed of 149 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 229 meters, but the touchdown speed of 146 knots was fast, and the touchdown rate was heavy at -679 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 7.0 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 270 degrees, resulting in a negligible crosswind and headwind. The total landing distance was 811 meters, which is 32% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good, and the taxiing to the parking from the runway took less than 1 minute, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 210 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 43 minutes. The aircraft used 810 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at GAMB Mopti Ambodédjo International Airport, with a final approach from the north east at a heading of 227.0°. The aircraft was at an altitude of 1,272 feet above ground level (agl) and 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was executed with a good threshold height, indicating that the aircraft was properly configured for landing.
However, the threshold speed was above the target speed, coming in at 149 knots. This may have been due to the aircraft's approach configuration or the pilot's decision to maintain a higher speed for the landing. The touchdown distance was within acceptable limits, measuring 229 meters, which is a relatively short distance considering the runway length of 2,539 meters.
Despite the good touchdown distance, the touchdown speed of 146 knots was slightly faster than desired, indicating that the aircraft may have been slightly over-rotated or that the pilots may have been unable to arrest the descent as quickly as they would have liked. The touchdown rate of -679 feet per minute (fpm) was also heavy, suggesting that the aircraft may have been experiencing a high rate of descent at the moment of touchdown.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline, deviating by 7.0 meters. This may have been due to a slight miscalculation of the aircraft's position or a minor deviation in the pilot's control inputs. The local weather conditions were relatively calm, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from 270°.
The total landing distance of 811 meters was 32% 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 pilots were able to maintain control of the aircraft and align it with the centerline of the runway after touchdown. Overall, the landing was executed with a high degree of precision and control, despite a few minor deviations from the desired parameters.
