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 6.8 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Keep the back pressure coming once the flare is established, holding the attitude instead of letting the nose drop.
What happened: Sink came back after the flare had arrested it, and that pattern usually carries the touchdown long - here it landed at 712 m against the 457 m aim point.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a steady, shallow rate through the flare with no renewed sink before touchdown
Twenty knots on a monitor produces the visual sensation of about ten. The advice to "taxi at a walking pace" cannot fix this, because your sense of walking pace is exactly the thing that's broken. Put the groundspeed readout in your scan and obey it for the next fifty flights, the way a student pilot leans on the airspeed indicator before learning to read attitude.

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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,798 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 712 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing Ramón Villeda Morales International Airport, the Airbus A320 began its journey with a taxiing period of 5 minutes, covering 3 nautical miles to reach the runway. The departure roll commenced on runway 22, with the aircraft taking off in a 72% utilization of the available runway length. The takeoff distance was 1,874 meters, and liftoff speed was achieved at 160 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 34 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 2 knots at a direction of 60 degrees, resulting in a slight tailwind component.
As the aircraft climbed to its enroute cruise altitude, it began its ascent 1 mile west of La Lima, Honduras, reaching a height of 37,011 feet above sea level in 18 minutes, covering a distance of 118 nautical miles. The climb was a significant increase of 35,935 feet from the initial altitude of 1,076 feet above sea level. The enroute level cruise phase started 13 miles north of Rancho Jamastran Airport, Apala, Honduras, and lasted for 110 minutes, covering a distance of 827 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent overhead Enrique Olaya Herrera Airport, Medellín, Colombia, reducing its altitude from 37,009 feet to 17,245 feet in 12 minutes, covering 82 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 14R at El Dorado International Airport was initiated from the north-west, with the aircraft heading 127.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,283 feet above ground level. The landing was executed on a runway length of 3,801 meters, with a threshold height of 57 feet above ground level, slightly above the target. The touchdown speed was 117 knots, and the touchdown rate was -234 feet per minute, which was considered fair. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.6 meters from the centerline. The total landing distance was 1,368 meters, which was 36% of the available runway length. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area, covering less than 1 nautical mile in 1 minute. The total flight distance was 1,107 nautical miles, with a total flight time of 164 minutes and a fuel consumption of 5,604 kilograms.
The final approach to runway 14R at SKBO El Dorado International Airport from the north west was initiated at 4 nm and 1,283 ft above ground level, heading 127.0°. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a threshold height of 57 ft above ground level, slightly above the target. The threshold speed was good at 126 kt, indicating a well-executed approach.
As the aircraft touched down, it was 303 m beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 117 kt, which was within the acceptable range. However, the touchdown rate of -234 fpm was fair, suggesting a slightly higher than ideal rate of descent. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.6 m from the centreline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the approach path. Local weather conditions, with a temperature of 19 °C and winds of 8 kt at 169°, contributed to a crosswind of 5 kt and a headwind of 6 kt.
The aircraft's total landing distance of 1,368 m, which accounted for 36% of the runway length, was within the acceptable range. The rollout alignment was very good, indicating a smooth and controlled deceleration. Overall, the landing was scored 94.0%, reflecting a good performance in terms of approach quality, touchdown characteristics, and rollout alignment, but with some room for improvement in terms of touchdown rate and runway alignment.
