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 7.6 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: seven checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
At the 500 ft gate: sink rate above what the glideslope needed, off the runway's 3° glideslope and speed above 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 3,198 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 211 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 17 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. The aircraft, an Airbus A320, then departed from runway 07L at Los Angeles International Airport (KLAX). The takeoff distance was 2,049 meters, which accounted for 61% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 166 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it encountered local weather conditions of 25°C temperature and a wind speed of 6 knots at 99°. The crosswind was 2 knots, while the headwind was 6 knots. The enroute climb started 1 mile west of Lennox, California, and reached an altitude of 35,424 feet above sea level, an increase of 34,330 feet in 25 minutes, covering a distance of 150 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 7 miles southwest of Seeley, California, and lasted for 219 minutes, covering a distance of 1,761 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its enroute descent 2 miles southwest of Fraijanes, Guatemala, and descended from 36,053 feet to 1,838 feet above sea level, a decrease of 34,215 feet in 21 minutes, covering a distance of 100 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 07 at Monseñor Óscar Arnulfo Romero International Airport (MSLP) was made from the southwest, heading 70.0° at 3 nautical miles and 1,717 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 07, which had a length of 3,198 meters. The threshold height was good, but the threshold speed was above the target at 151 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 214 meters, but the touchdown speed was fast at 145 knots, and the touchdown rate was fair at -285 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 8.5 meters from the centreline, and the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 14.3 meters from the centreline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 26°C temperature and a wind speed of 7 knots at 300°, with a crosswind of 5 knots and a tailwind of 4 knots.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 2,021 nautical miles, taking a total of 276 minutes, and the aircraft used 11,197 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at MSLP Monseñor Óscar Arnulfo Romero International Airport, with a score of 93.4%. The aircraft approached the runway from the southwest, heading 70.0° at 3 nautical miles and 1,717 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was made to runway 07, which has a length of 3,198 meters.
The landing was executed with a good threshold height, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct altitude as it touched down on the runway. However, the threshold speed was above the target speed, coming in at 151 knots. This may have been due to the aircraft's descent rate or the pilot's decision to flare the aircraft earlier than expected.
The touchdown distance was within acceptable limits, measuring 214 meters. However, the touchdown speed was slightly faster than desired, coming in at 145 knots. This may have resulted in a slightly higher touchdown rate, which was measured at -285 feet per minute (fpm). While this is not ideal, it is still within the acceptable range.
One area for improvement was the runway touchdown position, which was misaligned by 8.5 meters from the centerline. This may have been due to a slight deviation in the aircraft's heading or a miscalculation of the runway alignment.
The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 26°C and a wind speed of 7 knots from 300°. The crosswind component was 5 knots, while the tailwind component was 4 knots. These conditions would not have significantly impacted the landing.
The total landing distance was 1,293 meters, which is 40% of the runway length. This is a relatively short distance, indicating that the aircraft was able to stop quickly after touchdown. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 14.3 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the aircraft's heading or a miscalculation of the runway alignment.
Overall, the landing was successful, but there are areas for improvement, particularly in terms of touchdown speed and runway alignment.
