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 7.5 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Raise the nose more slowly in the flare and stop as soon as the sink is checked; if it balloons, hold the attitude.
What happened: The flare ballooned, with 415 fpm of sink returning after the arrest; a balloon like this usually carries through to a firm touchdown, as it did here at 478 fpm.
Watch for: The runway ahead: the aircraft still sinking gently towards it through the flare, never rising.
Twenty knots on a monitor produces the visual sensation of about ten. The advice to "taxi at a walking pace" cannot fix this, because your sense of walking pace is exactly the thing that's broken. Put the groundspeed readout in your scan and obey it for the next fifty flights, the way a student pilot leans on the airspeed indicator before learning to read attitude.

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 2,027 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,027 m of the 3,297 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 568 m past the threshold — beyond 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 DIAP Félix-Houphouët-Boigny International Airport, taking 11 minutes and covering a distance of 5 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 21, with the aircraft lifting off at a speed of 159 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 33 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 10 knots at 230 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 5 knots and a headwind of 9 knots.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile south of DIAP Félix-Houphouët-Boigny International Airport. The climb took place from an initial altitude of 1,009 feet above sea level to a maximum altitude of 34,774 feet, an increase of 33,765 feet in just 15 minutes. This climb covered a distance of 92 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a level cruise, starting 2 miles southwest of Divo, and remained at this altitude for 62 minutes, covering a distance of 439 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its enroute descent, starting 9 miles southwest of Yonibana. The descent took place from a maximum altitude of 35,150 feet to a final altitude of 1,349 feet, a decrease of 33,801 feet in 24 minutes. This descent covered a distance of 108 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 06 at GUCY Conakry International Airport was made from the southwest, with the aircraft heading at 49.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,279 feet above ground level.
The landing took place on runway 06, which had a length of 3,297 meters. The threshold height was good, but the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 136 knots. The touchdown point was 155 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 123 knots and a firm touchdown rate of -304 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 10.3 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 31 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 8 knots at 220 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a tailwind of 8 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,949 meters, which was 59% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 12.7 meters from the centerline. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking 3 minutes and covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 651 nautical miles, taking a total of 113 minutes, and the aircraft used 3,808 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A319 successfully landed at GUCY Conakry International Airport, achieving a score of 90.9%. The aircraft approached the runway from the southwest, heading 49.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,279 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was made to runway 06, which has a length of 3,297 meters.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down slightly beyond the touchdown zone, 155 meters past the designated area. The touchdown speed of 123 knots was within the acceptable range, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. However, the touchdown rate was firm, at -304 feet per minute (fpm), which may have resulted in a slightly bumpy ride for passengers.
The runway touchdown position was not perfectly aligned with the centerline, deviating by 10.3 meters. This misalignment may have been due to factors such as wind or pilot error. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 31°C and a wind speed of 8 knots from 220°. The crosswind component was minimal, at 1 knot, while the tailwind component was 8 knots.
The total landing distance of 1,949 meters was 59% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll. However, the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned, deviating by 12.7 meters from the centerline. This may have resulted in a slightly uneven taxiing process after landing.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score despite some minor deviations from the ideal touchdown and rollout positions.
