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 6.1 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 305 m and 152 m above the runway.
At the 305 m gate: speed below the reference speed.
At the 152 m gate: speed below the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,501 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 586 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft taxiing from the parking to the runway at MPTO Tocumen International Airport, taking 23 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile. Departure roll occurred on runway 03L, with a takeoff distance of 1,966 meters, which was 93% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 160 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions of 27°C temperature and a wind speed of 7 knots at 265°. The crosswind was 5 knots, and the tailwind was 4 knots. After departure, the enroute climb started 1 mile northeast of Tocumen, where the aircraft climbed from 305 meters above sea level to 11,449 meters above sea level, an increase of 11,144.1 meters in 22 minutes, covering 138 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 105 miles northwest of Isla Grande, lasting 66 minutes and covering 502 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its enroute descent 89 miles northwest of MHIC Islas Del Cisne Airport, descending from 11,587 meters above sea level to 6,098 meters above sea level, a decrease of 5,488.7 meters in 14 minutes, covering 113 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another enroute level cruise 54 miles southeast of MMUB Capitán Eduardo A. Toledo Airport, lasting 9 minutes and covering 55 nautical miles. The enroute descent started 28 miles east of MMCZ Aeropuerto Internacional de Cozumel Ciudad de Cozumel, descending from 6,099 meters above sea level to 774 meters above sea level, a decrease of 5,325.3 meters in 9 minutes, covering 43 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another enroute level cruise 8 miles east of Leona Vicario, lasting 7 minutes and covering 7 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 12R at MMUN Aeropuerto Internacional de Cancún was from the northwest, heading 124.0° at 4 nautical miles and 375.1 meters above ground level.
The landing occurred on runway 12R, which had a length of 3,501 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was 128 knots. The touchdown point was 169 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 122 knots, which was good. The touchdown rate was hard at -2.5 meters per second, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 29°C temperature and a wind speed of 0 knots at 1°. The crosswind was 0 knots, and the headwind was 0 knots. The total landing distance was 1,212 meters, which was 35% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect.
After landing, the aircraft taxiing to the parking from the runway took 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 863 nautical miles, taking 135 minutes, and the aircraft used 5,810 kilograms of fuel.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at MMUN Aeropuerto Internacional de Cancún, achieving a score of 91.8%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north-west, heading 124.0° at an altitude of 375.1 meters above ground level (agl) and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway.
The final approach to runway 12R was executed with precision, and the aircraft touched down on the runway with a threshold speed of 128 knots, which was considered good. The touchdown point was 169 meters beyond the touchdown zone, indicating a slight overrun. However, the touchdown speed of 122 knots was also considered good, suggesting that the aircraft was well-controlled during the landing.
The landing rate was a concern, as it was recorded at -2.5 meters per second, which is considered hard. This may indicate that the aircraft was touching down with a higher rate of descent than desired, potentially due to a slight over-rotation or a failure to flare properly. Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was aligned with the runway centerline at touchdown.
The local weather conditions were favorable for the landing, with a temperature of 29°C and a wind speed of 0 knots. The crosswind and headwind components were also negligible, making the landing conditions ideal.
The total landing distance was 1,212 meters, which is 35% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was well-controlled and landed smoothly. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, suggesting that the aircraft was well-aligned with the runway centerline during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, but there were some areas for improvement, particularly with regards to the landing rate. However, the aircraft's performance and the pilot's skills were still considered good, and the landing was executed with precision and control.
