Flight Score
Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.
What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 6.3 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
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.
Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without it.

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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 4,095 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 186 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The Airbus A319 then departed from runway 32 at MMSP Ponciano Arriaga International Airport, with a takeoff distance of 1,737 meters, which accounted for 58% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 140 knots, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 26 degrees Celsius, a wind speed of 11 knots at 350 degrees, resulting in a 4-knot crosswind and an 11-knot headwind.
As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it began its enroute climb, starting 2 miles northwest of MMSP Ponciano Arriaga International Airport. The climb took 19 minutes, during which the aircraft ascended from 7,044 feet above sea level to 38,123 feet above sea level, an increase of 31,078 feet. This climb covered a distance of 99 nautical miles. Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, which started 5 miles west of Miquihuana and lasted for 61 minutes, covering 427 nautical miles.
The enroute descent began overhead 86TA Slaughter Ranch Airport Marble Falls, where the aircraft descended from 38,232 feet above sea level to 13,524 feet above sea level, a decrease of 24,708 feet, in 17 minutes and covering 112 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise, which started overhead 66TE The Landings Airport Granbury and lasted for 3 minutes, covering 19 nautical miles. The enroute descent resumed overhead 9F9 Sycamore Ft Worth, where the aircraft descended from 13,362 feet above sea level to 12,514 feet above sea level, a decrease of 848 feet, in 2 minutes and covering 8 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, which started 3 miles northeast of Forest Hill and lasted for 2 minutes, covering 7 nautical miles. The enroute descent began 1 mile southeast of Hurst, where the aircraft descended from 12,292 feet above sea level to 1,983 feet above sea level, a decrease of 10,309 feet, in 12 minutes and covering 12 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 17C at KDFW Dallas Fort Worth International Airport was made from the north, with a heading of 182.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,403 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 17C, which had a length of 4,095 meters, was successful, with a good threshold height. The threshold speed was slightly above the target at 137 knots, and the touchdown distance was good at 187 meters. However, the touchdown speed was a little fast at 128 knots, and the touchdown rate was very heavy at -784 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.3 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 34 degrees Celsius, a wind speed of 8 knots at 160 degrees, resulting in a 3-knot crosswind and a 7-knot headwind. The total landing distance was 1,395 meters, which accounted for 34% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. After landing, the aircraft taxiing to the parking area took 7 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 692 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 130 minutes. The aircraft used 4,716 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A319 aircraft successfully landed on runway 17C at KDFW Dallas Fort Worth International Airport, achieving a score of 93.8%. The final approach was initiated from the north, heading 182.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,403 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 137 knots, which was slightly above the target threshold speed. However, the touchdown distance of 187 meters was considered good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown speed of 128 knots was a little fast, but this did not significantly impact the overall performance of the landing.
The aircraft's rate of descent was very heavy, at -784 feet per minute, which may have contributed to the slightly fast touchdown speed. Additionally, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.3 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to the aircraft's heading or the wind conditions.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 34°C and a wind speed of 8 knots from 160°. The crosswind component was minimal at 3 knots, while the headwind component was 7 knots. These conditions did not appear to significantly impact the aircraft's performance during the landing.
The total landing distance of 1,395 meters was 34% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. This suggests that the aircraft was able to maintain a high level of control and precision during the landing. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain its direction and speed during the rollout phase.
Overall, the Airbus A319 aircraft performed well during the landing, achieving a high score of 93.8%. While there were some minor issues with the touchdown speed and runway alignment, the aircraft's overall performance was impressive, and the landing was considered successful.
