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 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Fly the flare as one continuous check of the sink rate from 10 ft, holding back pressure steadily rather than adjusting pitch piecemeal.
What happened: The flare drifted away from its intended profile rather than tracking it smoothly from 10 ft down to touchdown.
Watch for: Watch radio altitude and VSI through the flare, aiming to arrest the sink smoothly from 10 ft to touchdown.
See Arrival Landing
Ground control varies with speed, full authority at walking pace, progressively reducing as groundspeed rises. The aircraft becomes twitchy at any speed, every small pedal input swings the nose, which can encourage large-amplitude leg inputs that no real aircraft would accept.

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 3,198 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 555 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Airbus A320 taxiing from the parking area to the runway at MNMG Augusto C. Sandino (Managua) International Airport, a process that took 8 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 10, with the aircraft lifting off after a takeoff distance of 1,353 meters, which was 55% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 148 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time were a temperature of 34 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 19 knots at 90 degrees.
As the aircraft climbed, it started its enroute climb 1 mile east of the airport, rising from an altitude of 1,253 feet above sea level to 25,570 feet above sea level, an increase of 24,317 feet in 14 minutes and covering a distance of 55 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise began 29 miles west of MNMR Montelimar Airport and lasted for 11 minutes, covering a distance of 76 nautical miles.
The aircraft then started its enroute descent 32 miles south of MS1A Tamarindo Airport, descending from 25,883 feet above sea level to 19,615 feet above sea level, a decrease of 6,268 feet in 3 minutes and covering a distance of 25 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise started again 16 miles south of MSCH La Chepona Airport and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 11 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began its final descent 12 miles southwest of MSSJ Punta San Juan Airport, descending from 19,225 feet above sea level to 2,163 feet above sea level, a decrease of 17,063 feet in 10 minutes and covering a distance of 47 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise started once more 8 miles south of La Libertad and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles.
The aircraft then started its final descent 5 miles south of MSRO Las Cachas Airport, descending from 1,981 feet above sea level to 1,147 feet above sea level, a decrease of 834 feet in 2 minutes and covering a distance of 5 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 07 at MSLP Monseñor Óscar Arnulfo Romero International Airport was made from the southwest, with the aircraft heading 70.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,055 feet above ground level.
The landing took place on runway 07, which had a length of 3,198 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 142 knots. However, the touchdown point was 146 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was a little fast at 137 knots. The touchdown rate was perfect at -32 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 7.4 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 31 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 6 knots at 215 degrees. The crosswind was 3 knots, and the tailwind was 5 knots. The total landing distance was 1,334 meters, which was 42% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
After landing, the aircraft taxiied to the parking area from the runway, a process that took 4 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 231 nautical miles, and the flight took 54 minutes to complete. The aircraft used 2,375 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at MSLP Monseñor Óscar Arnulfo Romero International Airport, achieving a high score of 96.9%. The aircraft approached the runway from the southwest, heading 70.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,055 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with precision, and the aircraft landed safely on runway 07, which has a length of 3,198 meters.
The threshold height was good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct altitude as it approached the runway. The threshold speed of 142 knots was also within the acceptable range, demonstrating the pilot's skill in managing the aircraft's speed during the landing. However, the touchdown speed of 137 knots was slightly faster than desired, which may have been due to the pilot's decision to flare the aircraft slightly earlier than necessary.
The touchdown point was 146 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The touchdown rate of -32 feet per minute (fpm) was perfect, indicating that the aircraft touched down smoothly and without any excessive deceleration. Unfortunately, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 7.4 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight miscalculation of the aircraft's position during the approach.
The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 31°C and a wind speed of 6 knots from 215°. The crosswind component was minimal at 3 knots, while the tailwind component was 5 knots. These conditions did not pose a significant challenge to the landing, and the aircraft was able to maintain its alignment and speed throughout the approach.
The total landing distance of 1,334 meters was 42% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. This indicates that the aircraft was able to decelerate quickly and smoothly after touchdown, and the runway rollout alignment was very good. Overall, the landing was executed with precision and skill, and the aircraft was able to come to a stop safely and efficiently.
