Flight Score
Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a fixed point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline during the roll.
What happened: The aircraft drifted 10 m off the runway centreline during the ground roll, and wing drift like that usually keeps reappearing as bank in the climb, with 4.6° of bank in the first climb segment and 4.2° still showing in the second.
Watch for: Heading indicator: steady on the runway centreline during the roll, then wings level through the climb.
Arrival
Reduce power earlier on final so threshold speed settles at 139 kt instead of carrying it into the flare.
What happened: You crossed the threshold at 152 kt, well above the 139 kt target speed, and that excess speed was still showing at touchdown. Crossing the threshold fast usually carries straight through to a fast touchdown.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator against 139 kt on short final.
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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,649 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,649 m of the 2,496 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 432 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The aircraft taxied from the parking area to runway 23R at MMMX Benito Juárez International Airport in 13 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 23R, the take-off run was 2,146 m, representing 63 % of the available runway, and liftoff was achieved at 158 kt; ambient temperature was 24 °C with wind 10 kt from 120 °, a 9 kt cross-wind component and a 5 kt tail-wind component.
The initial climb commenced 1 mile south of Venustiano Carranza, climbing from 8,582 ft asl to 35,851 ft asl-a gain of 27,269 ft-in 20 minutes while covering 125 nm.
Level cruise began 2 miles west of Morelia and lasted 12 minutes, during which the aircraft progressed 89 nm.
A second climb segment started 4 miles south of Jamay, raising altitude from 36,006 ft asl to 37,973 ft asl, an increase of 1,967 ft, in 2 minutes over a distance of 11 nm.
The next cruise phase originated 5 miles south of MMPF Los Cerritos Airport Poncitlan, lasting 48 minutes and covering 370 nm.
Descent began 38 miles east of MXMK Las Veredas Airport, descending from 37,625 ft asl to 20,419 ft asl-a loss of 17,206 ft-in 7 minutes while traversing 50 nm.
A brief cruise segment followed 7 miles east of Los Barriles, lasting 2 minutes and spanning 9 nm.
The subsequent descent started 1 mile west of PPC Punta Pescadero, dropping from 19,921 ft asl to 1,309 ft asl, a decrease of 18,612 ft, in 14 minutes and covering 54 nm.
On final approach to runway 18 at MMLP Manuel Márquez de León International Airport, the aircraft descended from 1,296 ft agl to 56 ft agl in 98 seconds and was scored on the stabilisation gates.
Landing on runway 18 was executed with a threshold speed of 152 kt, touchdown occurring 435 m down the runway at 148 kt and a vertical rate of minus 190 fpm; the touchdown point was 4.3 m off centreline. Local conditions were 28 °C, wind 4 kt from 210 °, a 1 kt cross-wind and a 3 kt head-wind. Total landing distance was 1,577 m, equal to 63 % of the runway, and rollout alignment was very good.
Runway rollout alignment remained very good throughout the deceleration phase.
The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 1 minute, covering less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 719 nm, required 118 minutes of airborne time, and consumed 5,029 kg of fuel.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at Puerto Vallarta International Airport, achieving a score of 97.2%. The aircraft approached the runway from the northeast, heading 227.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,428 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with good threshold height, indicating that the aircraft was properly configured for landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed on runway 22, which has a length of 3,113 meters. The threshold speed was within the acceptable range at 140 knots, demonstrating that the pilots maintained control and adhered to standard procedures. However, the touchdown point was 164 meters beyond the touchdown zone, suggesting that the pilots may have slightly over-extended the landing. The touchdown speed of 133 knots was a bit faster than ideal, which could have contributed to the extended landing distance.
The touchdown rate of -274 feet per minute (fpm) was considered fair, indicating that the aircraft's descent was not excessively steep. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, signifying that the pilots maintained proper control and alignment during the final stages of the approach. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 28°C and winds of 8 knots at 270°, resulted in a crosswind of 6 knots and a headwind of 6 knots, which did not significantly impact the landing.
The total landing distance of 1,604 meters was 52% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft had sufficient stopping distance. The runway rollout alignment was very good, demonstrating that the pilots maintained control and properly aligned the aircraft with the runway during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score despite a few minor deviations from ideal performance.
