Flight Score
Departure
Raise the gear promptly once a positive rate is confirmed, before reaching the gate altitude.
What happened: Gear retraction was late relative to the target height for this stage of the climb.
Watch for: Landing gear position against the retraction height gate.
Arrival
Lower the gear before the stabilisation gate, not after it.
What happened: On the approach, the gear was not down at the stabilisation gate.
Watch for: Gear position indicator against the stabilisation gate call.
See Arrival Approach
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 300 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out. These checks are the approach's score.
At the 300 ft gate: gear still up, no landing flap set, sink rate 8,111 fpm, more than the glideslope needed, glideslope 7.4° against the runway's 3°, centreline 15.2° off, against a 1° limit, wings 25° of bank, against a 10° limit and speed 180 kt FAST on the reference speed of 140 kt.

Plan view — the full 1,524 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 47 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone.
The rest of the report
The aircraft departed from runway 01 at SKRG Jose Maria Córdova International Airport, applying a take-off roll of 2,166 m which represented 62 % of the available runway. Liftoff was achieved at 157 kt. Ambient conditions were 25 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 030°, a cross-wind component of 1 kt and a head-wind component of 2 kt.
Climb commenced 2 nm north of SKRG, where the airplane accelerated from 8,203 ft asl to 14,442 ft asl, gaining 6,239 ft in 2 minutes while covering 6 nm.
Descent began 2 nm north-east of Guarne, with the flight descending from 14,496 ft asl to 7,293 ft asl, a loss of 7,203 ft over 4 minutes and a horizontal distance of 23 nm.
During the final approach to the landing area situated 4 nm east of Marinilla, the aircraft reduced to 101 ft agl while positioned 1 nm from the touchdown point.
Touchdown occurred 4 nm east of Marinilla at a speed of 94 kt. The vertical speed at impact was minus 2,944 fpm and the ground roll measured 47 m. Local weather at the time was 20 °C with a wind of 11 kt from 132°, a cross-wind component of 9 kt and a tail-wind component of 6 kt.
The rollout continued at an altitude of 7,191 ft asl and covered a distance of 253 m before the aircraft completed the landing phase.
In total, the flight covered 32 nm, took 7 minutes, and consumed minus 5,982 kg of fuel.
The final approach to the A310-300 was conducted toward the runway 4 miles east of Marinilla, Departamento de Antioquia, Colombia, with the aircraft aligned from 1 NM out to the threshold at an altitude of 101 ft AGL. The approach was maintained within the prescribed corridor and the aircraft remained on the centreline.
During the threshold and flare phase the aircraft descended from 150 ft AGL to 0 ft AGL, a decrease of 150 ft in 2 seconds. The flare was executed at the runway threshold and the aircraft transitioned to the touchdown point.
Touchdown occurred 4 miles east of Marinilla with a speed of 94 kt, which was noted as good. The vertical rate at touchdown was very heavy at -2,944 fpm, while the touchdown point was good at 163 m from the threshold.
The rollout was completed at an altitude of 7,191 ft ASL, covering a distance of 253 m. Local weather conditions were temperature 20 °C, wind 11 kt from 132°, with a 9 kt crosswind component and a 6 kt tailwind component.
With a score of 45.0 %, focus on moderating the flare to reduce the excessive touchdown vertical rate. Adjusting the flare height and timing will help achieve a smoother, less heavy touchdown while preserving the good speed and touchdown point already demonstrated.
