Improve the landing
The one change that would have gained the most on this flight, and the guide passage for it.
There are several things that can go wrong during the flare, carrying too much speed over the threshold, starting the flare at the wrong height and inconsistent flight control inputs, all contribute to a poor flare resulting in a hard touchdown or a float down the runway.

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 3,018 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 413 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 10 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, an Airbus A319, then departed from runway 21 at DIAP Félix-Houphouët-Boigny International Airport in Abidjan, Ivory Coast. The takeoff distance was 1,799 meters, which is 60% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 156 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 33 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 16 knots from a direction of 230 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 7 knots and a headwind of 14 knots. The aircraft climbed to a height of 38,248 feet above sea level, an increase of 37,183 feet from the initial altitude of 1,065 feet. This climb took 17 minutes and covered a distance of 96 nautical miles.
After reaching the cruising altitude, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 14 miles northwest of Abengourou, Ivory Coast. This phase lasted for 34 minutes and covered a distance of 261 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, which started 4 miles east of Dano, Burkina Faso. The descent took 20 minutes and covered a distance of 93 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from a height of 38,259 feet to 4,046 feet above sea level.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 8 miles north of Gouloure, Burkina Faso. This phase lasted for only 3 minutes and covered a distance of 15 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, which started 11 miles northeast of Pitmoaga, Burkina Faso. The descent took 2 minutes and covered a distance of 6 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from a height of 3,376 feet to 2,710 feet above sea level.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 10 miles southwest of Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso. This phase lasted for 7 minutes and covered a distance of 7 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 04 at DFFD Ouagadougou Airport, which it landed from the southwest. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 32 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 104 degrees.
The landing was successful, with a touchdown speed of 121 knots and a touchdown distance of 413 meters. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.1 meters from the centerline. The total landing distance was 1,128 meters, which is 37% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 487 nautical miles, which was covered in 95 minutes. The aircraft used 3,218 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A319 successfully landed at DFFD Ouagadougou Airport, achieving a high score of 96.6%. The aircraft approached the runway from the southwest, heading 33.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,296 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with precision, and the aircraft landed safely on runway 04, which has a length of 3,018 meters.
The threshold height was satisfactory, and the threshold speed was maintained at 128 knots, indicating a well-executed approach. The touchdown distance was also within acceptable limits, measuring 413 meters. The touchdown speed of 121 knots was good, and the aircraft maintained a stable descent rate. However, the touchdown rate was slightly hard, measuring -407 feet per minute (fpm), which may require some adjustments in the approach procedure.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 6.1 meters, which may be attributed to minor deviations in the approach or landing technique. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 32°C and a gentle wind of 1 knot at 104°. The crosswind component was minimal, at 1 knot, while the headwind component was negligible, at 0 knots.
The total landing distance of 1,128 meters was within 37% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll. The runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the aircraft maintained a stable and controlled descent throughout the landing process. Overall, the landing was executed with a high degree of precision and control, resulting in a score of 96.6%.
