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 4.8 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Fly the flare as one continuous check of the sink rate from 44 ft, holding back pressure steadily rather than adjusting pitch piecemeal.
What happened: The flare drifted away from its intended profile rather than tracking it smoothly from 44 ft down to touchdown.
Watch for: Watch radio altitude and VSI through the flare, aiming to arrest the sink smoothly from 44 ft to touchdown.
See Arrival Landing
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.
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: off the centreline.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 2,167 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,167 m of the 3,798 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 880 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Airbus A320 taxiing from the parking area to the runway at SKCL Alfonso Bonilla Aragon International Airport, a process that took 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 02, with the aircraft lifting off after a takeoff distance of 1,925 meters, which accounted for 64% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 150 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time were characterized by a temperature of 29°C, a wind speed of 6 knots at 40°, resulting in a 3-knot crosswind and a 6-knot headwind.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb 1 mile north of SKCL, rising from an initial altitude of 4,186 feet above sea level to 23,395 feet, an increase of 19,209 feet in just 10 minutes. This climb phase covered a distance of 49 nautical miles. Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 4 miles southeast of Sevilla and lasted for 5 minutes, covering 41 nautical miles.
The enroute descent phase began 5 miles north of Ibague, where the aircraft descended from 23,382 feet to 15,118 feet, a decrease of 8,265 feet in 9 minutes, covering 45 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, this time overhead Chaguani, which lasted for 2 minutes and covered 8 nautical miles. The descent phase resumed 2 miles north of Alban, where the aircraft descended from 15,116 feet to 13,846 feet, a decrease of 1,270 feet in 2 minutes, covering 8 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, this time overhead Facatativa, which lasted for 2 minutes and covered 7 nautical miles. The descent phase resumed 2 miles southeast of Bojaca, where the aircraft descended from 13,526 feet to 8,880 feet, a decrease of 4,646 feet in 5 minutes, covering 12 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 32R at SKBO El Dorado International Airport was made from the southeast, with the aircraft heading 305.0° at 2 nautical miles and 523 feet above ground level. The landing took place on a runway with a length of 3,798 meters, and the threshold height was well above the target, while the threshold speed was slightly above target at 144 knots.
The touchdown point was 452 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 132 knots, which was a little fast. However, the touchdown rate was smooth at -126 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.2 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 21°C, a wind speed of 11 knots at 310°, resulting in a 1-knot crosswind and an 11-knot headwind.
The total landing distance was 2,074 meters, which accounted for 55% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing process from the runway to the parking area took 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 177 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 41 minutes, with the aircraft using 1,827 kilograms of fuel.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed on runway 32R at SKBO El Dorado International Airport, achieving an overall score of 86.4%. The aircraft approached the runway from the southeast, heading 305.0° at 2 nautical miles and 523 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was conducted with a slight headwind of 11 knots, which was beneficial for the landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 452 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a significant deviation from the target. The touchdown speed of 132 knots was slightly above the target, indicating that the pilot may have been unable to fully arrest the aircraft's descent. However, the touchdown rate of -126 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth, suggesting that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the landing.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.2 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to the pilot's inability to accurately align the aircraft with the runway. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 21°C and a wind speed of 11 knots at 310°, did not appear to significantly impact the landing.
The total landing distance of 2,074 meters was 55% of the runway length, which is within the acceptable range. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase. Overall, while the landing was not perfect, the pilot demonstrated good control and handling of the aircraft, and the aircraft landed safely on the runway.
