The aircraft in question was an Airbus A319. It took 5 minutes to taxi from the parking to the runway at Sydney Kingsford Smith International Airport, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. After departure, the aircraft performed a takeoff from runway 25, with a takeoff distance of 4,417 feet, which is approximately 56% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 143 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were quite pleasant, with a temperature of 69 degrees Fahrenheit, wind speed of 4 knots at 300 degrees, and no significant crosswind.
As the aircraft took off, it began its enroute climb, reaching an altitude of 20,191 feet above sea level. Over the course of 7 minutes, the aircraft covered a distance of 34 nautical miles, rising from an initial altitude of 1,040 feet above sea level. The enroute climb started after the aircraft passed over Banksia, in the state of New South Wales, Australia.
After the enroute climb, the aircraft entered into a level cruise, which lasted for 3 minutes and covered a distance of 17 nautical miles. This phase ended when the aircraft was 2 miles south of Woodford, New South Wales, Australia.
In the following phase, the aircraft began its enroute descent from an altitude of 20,200 feet above sea level. This descent lasted for 12 minutes and covered a distance of 50 nautical miles, as the aircraft made its way to the destination airport. The descent started when the aircraft was 6 miles west of Medlow Bath, New South Wales, Australia, and ended when the aircraft was approaching the final approach path for runway 29 at Orange Airport.
The final approach was initiated with the aircraft approaching the runway from the south-east, flying at an altitude of 4 nautical miles above the ground level, and heading towards a point on the runway. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were again quite different from the conditions at takeoff, with a temperature of 43 degrees Fahrenheit, wind speed of 1 knot at 8 degrees, and a near-zero crosswind.
The landing was executed successfully, with the aircraft landing on the runway at a speed of 124 knots, slightly faster than the threshold speed. However, the touchdown speed was 121 knots, which was a bit fast. The touchdown rate was firm at -330 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 11 feet from the centreline of the runway. The total landing distance was 4,369 feet, which is approximately 80% of the available runway length.
After landing, the aircraft rolled out of the runway, maintaining good alignment and control. The crew then performed a short taxiing operation from the runway to the parking area, which took just 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 108 nautical miles, and the flight took 31 minutes to complete. The aircraft used 2,895 pounds of fuel during the flight.

Taxiing from the parking to the runway took 5 minutes and covered 1 nm.

This landing of the Airbus A319 at YORG Orange Airport was considered to be largely successful, with a score of 96.5%. The aircraft was able to navigate the final approach to Runway 29 from the south-east, heading at a precise 306.0° at an altitude of 1,179 feet above ground level (agl) and at a distance of 4 nautical miles.
The threshold height was reported to be good, indicating that the aircraft was in a suitable position to touch down safely. The threshold speed of 124 knots was also deemed to be accurate. However, the touchdown speed of 121 knots was considered a little fast, suggesting a slight deviation from the desired landing profile. Despite this, the touchdown rate of -330 feet per minute was firm and indicated a controlled descent.
The landing distance of 4,369 feet was within 80% of the runway length, highlighting efficient control and braking performance. Runway rollout alignment was also very good, suggesting effective use of brakes and directional control post-landing. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 11 feet from the centreline, which may have been due to factors such as wind or pilot input.
Weather conditions at the time of landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 43°F (or 6°C), and a wind of just 1 knot from a direction of 8°. There was a negligible crosswind of 1 knot, and no headwind, contributing to the stability of the aircraft during descent. Overall, this was a well-executed landing from a technical and safety perspective, although with some minor areas for improvement.
