Flight Score
Departure
Hold the nose down until the speed reaches 141 kt, then rotate.
What happened: You started the rotation at 119 kt, 22 kt before the 141 kt rotation speed.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 141 kt at rotation
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Begin the flare with progressive back pressure and keep it coming until the sink is arrested, rather than flying it on flat.
What happened: The nose was barely raised in the flare and little of the sink was taken out, flying the aircraft onto the runway. This pattern usually carries through to a firm touchdown with a noticeable sink rate.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a smoothly reducing sink through the normal flare band, not a steady rate into the runway.
Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
At the 1,000 ft gate: wings 16° of bank, against a 10° limit and speed 41 kt FAST on the reference speed of 131 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,520 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 322 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Guadalajara International Airport (MMGL), the Airbus A320 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 14 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. As the aircraft lined up on runway 29, the crew prepared for departure, taking into account the local weather conditions, which included a temperature of 37 °C and a wind speed of 18 kt from 280 °. The aircraft lifted off the ground at a speed of 156 kt, using 1,849 meters, or 46% of the runway, to achieve liftoff.
As the aircraft climbed to its enroute cruise altitude, it began to ascend from 6,039 feet above sea level to 31,074 feet, a vertical increase of 25,035 feet, in just 14 minutes and covering a distance of 89 nautical miles. The crew then leveled off and entered a cruise phase, which lasted for 20 minutes and covered 157 nautical miles. The aircraft continued on its journey, descending from 31,075 feet to 18,540 feet in 7 minutes and covering 49 nautical miles. The crew then leveled off again, this time for a brief 2-minute period, before beginning another descent phase. The final descent took the aircraft from 18,432 feet to 8,640 feet in 8 minutes and covering 36 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached Benito Juárez International Airport (MMMX), it began its final approach to runway 05R, aligning itself with the runway at a heading of 69.0 ° and an altitude of 1,313 feet above ground level. The aircraft landed on the runway, using a touchdown distance of 320 meters, which was within the acceptable range. The touchdown speed was slightly above the target speed, at 136 kt, and the touchdown rate was a bit hard, at -509 fpm. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area, a process that took 6 minutes and covered 2 nautical miles. The total flight distance was 351 nautical miles, and the aircraft used 2,600 kilograms of fuel during the journey, which took a total of 64 minutes.
The aircraft touched down on runway 05R at MMMX Benito Juárez International Airport with a threshold height that met the desired standards. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target, registering 136 kt. Despite this, the touchdown distance was satisfactory at 320 m, indicating a well-executed approach. The touchdown speed of 130 kt was a little fast, but the aircraft's ability to maintain control and stability was evident.
The touchdown rate was notably hard at -509 fpm, which may have been a result of the slightly fast touchdown speed. Nevertheless, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, demonstrating the pilot's skill and attention to detail. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 26 °C and a wind speed of 14 kt at 0 °, contributed to a relatively straightforward landing. The crosswind component of 12 kt and the headwind component of 7 kt were well-managed, allowing the aircraft to maintain its intended path.
The total landing distance of 1,316 m was 38% of the runway length, which is within acceptable limits. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control and stability throughout the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was scored 95.4%, reflecting the pilot's ability to execute a safe and efficient landing despite some minor deviations from the target parameters.
