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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with five checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,967 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,967 m of the 3,006 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 596 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 Ouagadougou Airport, taking 11 minutes and covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 04, with the aircraft lifting off at a speed of 153 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 37 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 15 knots at a direction of 50 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 14 knots.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead Ouagadougou Airport. The climb took 20 minutes to reach a height of 39,343 feet above sea level, an increase of 37,339 feet from the initial altitude of 2,004 feet. During this time, the aircraft covered a distance of 111 nautical miles. The enroute climb phase was followed by a level cruise, which began 30 miles south of Leo, Centre-Ouest, Burkina Faso, and lasted for 29 minutes. The cruise phase covered a distance of 202 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its enroute descent, which started 15 miles north of Agnibilekrou, Comoe, Ivory Coast. The descent took 23 minutes to reach a height of 1,293 feet above sea level, a decrease of 38,083 feet from the initial altitude of 39,376 feet. During this time, the aircraft covered a distance of 130 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 21 at Félix-Houphouët-Boigny International Airport was made from the north, with the aircraft heading 202.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,268 feet above ground level.
The landing took place on runway 21, which had a length of 3,006 meters. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 33 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 7 knots at a direction of 170 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 6 knots. The touchdown point was 176 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 114 knots and a touchdown rate of -346 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 11.7 meters from the centreline.
The total landing distance was 1,882 meters, which accounted for 63% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 11.1 meters from the centreline. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking 4 minutes and covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 452 nautical miles, taking a total of 84 minutes, and the aircraft used 2,754 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A319 successfully landed at DIAP Félix-Houphouët-Boigny International Airport, achieving a score of 90.4%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north, heading 202.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,268 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a precise final approach, touching down on runway 21, which has a length of 3,006 meters.
The threshold height was satisfactory, and the threshold speed was maintained at 127 knots, indicating a well-executed landing. The touchdown point was 176 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The touchdown speed of 114 knots was also within acceptable limits, and the touchdown rate of -346 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, suggesting a controlled descent.
However, there were some minor issues with the landing. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 11.7 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the pilot's alignment during the approach. Additionally, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 11.1 meters from the centerline, which could have been caused by a slight drift during the rollout.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 33°C and a wind speed of 7 knots from 170°. The crosswind component was 4 knots, and the headwind component was 6 knots, which may have contributed to the slight misalignment during the rollout.
Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated good control and precision during the approach and touchdown. However, there is room for improvement in terms of maintaining a more accurate alignment during the rollout.
