Improve the rollout
The one change that would have gained the most on this flight, and the guide passage for it.
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 six checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,776 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,776 m of the 2,986 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 312 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft, an Airbus A319, taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Ouagadougou Airport, DFFD. This process took 7 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 04, and the aircraft lifted off after a takeoff distance of 1,501 meters, which was 50% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 147 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 34 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 5 knots at 19 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 5 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, which started overhead Ouagadougou Airport. The climb took 11 minutes and covered a distance of 57 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from 1,998 feet above sea level to 27,059 feet above sea level, an increase of 25,062 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 11 miles northwest of Boulsa, Burkina Faso. This phase lasted for 12 minutes and covered a distance of 84 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 29 miles northeast of Gayeri, Burkina Faso. The descent took 14 minutes and covered a distance of 76 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from 27,049 feet above sea level to 2,644 feet above sea level, a decrease of 24,405 feet.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 6 miles southwest of Niamey, Niger. This phase lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 5 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 09R at Diori Hamani International Airport, DRRN, was made from the west, heading 87.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,274 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 09R was successful, with a touchdown distance of 314 meters, which was good. The touchdown speed was 119 knots, and the touchdown rate was firm at -331 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.3 meters from the centreline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 32 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 5 knots at 0 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 5 knots and a headwind of 0 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,697 meters, which was 57% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area from the runway, which took 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 231 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 51 minutes. The aircraft used 1,747 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A319 successfully landed at DRRN Diori Hamani International Airport, achieving a high score of 97.1%. The aircraft approached the runway from the west, heading 87.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,274 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with precision, and the aircraft landed safely on runway 09R, which has a length of 2,986 meters.
The threshold height was good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct altitude as it approached the runway. The threshold speed of 127 knots was also within the acceptable range, demonstrating the pilot's ability to control the aircraft's speed during the landing. The touchdown distance of 314 meters was also good, indicating that the aircraft was able to touch down within a safe distance from the runway threshold.
The touchdown speed of 119 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -331 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, indicating that the aircraft was able to touch down smoothly without any significant deceleration. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.3 meters from the centerline, which may require some adjustments during future landings.
The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 32°C and a wind speed of 5 knots at 0°. This meant that there was no significant crosswind or headwind to affect the landing. The total landing distance of 1,697 meters was 57% of the runway length, which is within the acceptable range. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain its alignment with the runway after touchdown.
Overall, the landing was executed with precision and control, and the aircraft was able to touch down safely on the runway. The slight misalignment of the runway touchdown position was the only minor issue, but it did not affect the overall safety of the landing.
