Flight Score
Departure
Raise the gear lever promptly once a positive rate of climb is confirmed after liftoff.
What happened: The landing gear was never raised during the initial climb and was still down when the climb ended.
Watch for: Landing gear lever: UP promptly after confirming a positive rate of climb.
Arrival
Use small rudder inputs against a point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline during rollout.
What happened: During the rollout the aircraft drifted 7.6 m off the centreline.
Watch for: Runway centreline marks: hold the aircraft tracking straight down the centreline through rollout
See Arrival Rollout
A small uncorrected heading error at 40 knots becomes a metre of offset per second by 100 knots, noticed only at rotation, producing a crabbed liftoff. Root cause is nearly always eyes on the tape instead of the far end of the runway. Small heading changes displace a distant point visibly long before the nearby centreline stripes look wrong.

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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,954 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 252 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from RPMD Francisco Bangoy International Airport, the Airbus A320 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took approximately 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. Upon reaching runway 23, the aircraft initiated its departure roll, utilizing 67% of the 2,004-meter runway to achieve liftoff at a speed of 154 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 32 °C, with a gentle wind of 4 knots at 194°, resulting in a 2-knot crosswind and a 3-knot headwind.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it began its enroute climb 1 mile north of Davao, ascending from 320 meters above sea level to 10,789 meters above sea level, a vertical increase of 10,468.6 meters, in 19 minutes and covering 229 nautical miles. The enroute descent started 6 miles east of MacArthur, where the aircraft descended from 10,873 meters above sea level to 493 meters above sea level, a decrease of 10,379.8 meters, in 31 minutes and covering 186 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 05 at RPLK Bicol Principal was conducted from the southwest, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 47.0° at 4 nautical miles and 393.8 meters above ground level.
The landing on runway 05 at RPLK Bicol Principal was successful, with the aircraft utilizing 49% of the 1,954-meter runway, touching down at a speed of 124 knots and a rate of -0.2 meters per second. The total landing distance was 953 meters, and the runway rollout alignment was very good. Following the landing, the aircraft taxiied to the parking area, a process that took approximately 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 423 nautical miles, and the aircraft utilized 3,926 kilograms of fuel, completing the journey in 57 minutes.
The aircraft, an Airbus A320, successfully executed a final approach to runway 05 at RPLK Bicol Principal from the southwest, aligning with a heading of 47.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 393.8 meters above ground level. The approach quality was excellent, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 129 knots, well within the acceptable range. As the aircraft descended onto the runway, it touched down at a distance of 253 meters, with a speed of 124 knots, and a touchdown rate of -0.2 meters per second, indicating a perfectly controlled descent.
The touchdown characteristics were impressive, with the aircraft maintaining perfect runway alignment. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 29°C and a gentle wind of 4 knots from 72°, contributed to a smooth landing. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, while the headwind component was 4 knots, providing a favorable wind condition for the landing. The total landing distance of 953 meters was 49% of the runway length, indicating a well-executed landing.
The rollout phase was equally impressive, with the aircraft maintaining very good alignment with the centerline. The overall performance of the landing was exceptional, with a score of 98.1%. The combination of good approach quality, precise touchdown, and controlled rollout resulted in a safe and efficient landing, showcasing the pilot's skill and expertise.
