Departing from the French island of Corsica, the Airbus A319 began its enroute climb from Afa, a small airfield located in the north of the island. As the aircraft ascended, it quickly gained altitude, increasing from 1,686 feet above sea level to 737 feet in just one minute, covering a distance of two nautical miles. This rapid climb allowed the aircraft to reach a suitable cruising altitude, setting the stage for the remainder of the flight.
As the aircraft approached Ajaccio-Napoléon Bonaparte Airport, located on the west coast of Corsica, it began its final approach to runway 20 from the north-east. The aircraft maintained a heading of 206.0 degrees at an altitude of 706 feet above ground level, approximately two nautical miles from the runway threshold. The landing was executed smoothly, with a threshold speed of 130 knots and a touchdown speed of 124 knots. The touchdown distance of 423 meters was within acceptable limits, and the runway touchdown position was only slightly misaligned from the centreline by 4.9 meters.
The aircraft landed safely on the 2,180-meter-long runway, with a total landing distance of 1,433 meters, accounting for 66% of the available runway length. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in just one minute, covering a short distance of less than one nautical mile. The flight, which covered a total distance of five nautical miles, utilized 112 kilograms of fuel and lasted approximately four minutes. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius and a light wind of three knots from 310 degrees, contributed to a smooth and uneventful flight.

The aircraft, an Airbus A319, began its final approach to runway 20 at LFKJ Ajaccio-Napoléon Bonaparte Airport from the north east, aligning with the heading of 206.0° at 2 nautical miles and 706 feet above ground level. The approach quality was excellent, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 130 knots, well within the acceptable range. As the aircraft descended onto the runway, it touched down at a distance of 423 meters, with a speed of 124 knots, indicating a smooth and controlled touchdown.
However, the touchdown rate of -254 feet per minute was slightly higher than ideal, suggesting a slight loss of control during the final stages of the landing. Additionally, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.9 meters from the centreline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the approach path. Despite this, the local weather conditions, with a temperature of 16°C and a gentle wind of 3 knots at 310°, were favorable for the landing.
The aircraft's rollout was characterized by excellent alignment, with the aircraft staying very close to the centreline. The total landing distance of 1,433 meters, which accounted for 66% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. Overall, the landing was considered to be of high quality, with a score of 98.4%. The slight deviations in touchdown rate and alignment were minor and did not significantly impact the overall performance of the landing.
