MY FS FLIGHTS
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 16 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
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 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,671 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,671 m of the 3,351 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 269 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 5 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, an Airbus A319, then departed from runway 23 at MMHO General Ignacio P. Garcia International Airport in Hermosillo, Mexico. The takeoff distance was 1,398 meters, which accounted for 61% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 144 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions of 39°C temperature and winds of 18 knots at 169 degrees. The crosswind was 17 knots, while the headwind was 7 knots. The enroute climb started 1 mile southwest of the airport, where the aircraft climbed from 1,620 feet above sea level to 22,646 feet above sea level, an increase of 21,026 feet in 10 minutes and covering 41 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 6 miles northwest of Carbo, Mexico, and lasted for 26 minutes, covering 141 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its enroute descent 3 miles north of Mescal, Arizona, and descended from 22,826 feet above sea level to 7,783 feet above sea level, a decrease of 15,043 feet in 8 minutes and covering 42 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise started again 3 miles southeast of Picture Rocks, Arizona, and lasted for 3 minutes, covering 9 nautical miles.
The enroute descent began 3 miles northwest of Taylor Field Marana, Arizona, and the aircraft descended from 7,689 feet above sea level to 5,819 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,870 feet in 2 minutes and covering 5 nautical miles. The enroute climb started 2 miles south of Nelson, Arizona, and the aircraft climbed from 5,811 feet above sea level to 7,255 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,443 feet in 2 minutes and covering 6 nautical miles.
The enroute descent began 4 miles southeast of Picture Rocks, Arizona, and the aircraft descended from 6,980 feet above sea level to 3,871 feet above sea level, a decrease of 3,109 feet in 4 minutes and covering 12 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 11L at KTUS Tucson International Airport was made from the northwest, heading 135.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,283 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 11L was successful, with a touchdown distance of 270 meters. The touchdown speed was 129 knots, which was slightly above the target speed. The touchdown rate was very heavy at -808 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.3 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 29°C temperature and winds of 13 knots at 149 degrees, with a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 13 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,586 meters, which accounted for 47% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing to the parking from the runway took less than 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 264 nautical miles, taking 56 minutes, and the aircraft used 2,535 kilograms of fuel.
The Airbus A319 aircraft successfully landed at KTUS Tucson International Airport, achieving an overall score of 88.1%. The final approach to runway 11L was initiated from the northwest, heading 135.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,283 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway, with a touchdown distance of 270 meters, which was considered good. However, the touchdown speed of 129 knots was slightly above the target speed, indicating that the pilot may have been able to flare the aircraft more effectively to achieve a smoother touchdown. The touchdown rate was also very heavy, at -808 feet per minute (fpm), which may have resulted in a bumpy ride for passengers.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline, by 5.3 meters, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the pilot's alignment during the final approach. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 29°C and a wind speed of 13 knots from 149°. The crosswind component was minimal, at 3 knots, while the headwind component was 13 knots, which may have contributed to the slightly fast touchdown speed.
The total landing distance of 1,586 meters was 47% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase. Overall, while there were some minor issues with the landing, the pilot's performance was satisfactory, and the aircraft was able to land safely at KTUS Tucson International Airport.
