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 13 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
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 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,547 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 196 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 less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, an Airbus A319, then departed from runway 24 at Juan Gualberto Gomez International Airport (MUVR). The takeoff distance was 1,601 meters, which accounted for 46% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 162 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 25 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 150 degrees. There was a slight crosswind of 4 knots, but no headwind. The aircraft began its enroute climb 3 miles southwest of the airport, rising from an altitude of 1,242 feet above sea level to 23,917 feet above sea level, an increase of 22,675 feet in 9 minutes and covering 45 nautical miles.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 36 miles north of Varadero, Cuba. This phase lasted for 9 minutes and covered 56 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent 3 miles southeast of Marathon, Florida, and descended from 23,925 feet above sea level to 16,610 feet above sea level, a decrease of 7,315 feet in 7 minutes and covering 35 nautical miles.
The aircraft entered another level cruise phase, this time starting 10 miles north of Coba Island, Florida. This phase lasted for 9 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then began its final descent, which started 10 miles north of Coba Island. The descent from 16,610 feet above sea level to 1,296 feet above sea level, a decrease of 15,314 feet in 13 minutes and covering 43 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 09 at Miami International Airport (KMIA) was made from the west, with a heading of 87.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,277 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 09 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 198 meters and a touchdown speed of 120 knots. The touchdown rate was firm at -387 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 28 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 8 knots from a direction of 140 degrees. There was a crosswind of 7 knots and a headwind of 5 knots. The total landing distance was 1,300 meters, which accounted for 37% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 11 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 189 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 54 minutes. The aircraft used 2,033 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A319 successfully landed at Miami International Airport (KMIA) on runway 09, achieving a high score of 98.0%. The aircraft approached the runway from the west, heading 87.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,277 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot's final approach was well-executed, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 126 knots, which is within the acceptable range.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft performed well, with a touchdown distance of 198 meters, which is within the expected range. The touchdown speed was also good at 120 knots, indicating a smooth and controlled landing. The touchdown rate was firm at -387 feet per minute (fpm), which is a typical rate for a commercial airliner. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 28°C and a wind speed of 8 knots from 140°. The crosswind component was 7 knots, while the headwind component was 5 knots. These conditions did not pose a significant challenge to the pilot, and the aircraft was able to land safely and efficiently.
The total landing distance was 1,300 meters, which is 37% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the pilot was able to bring the aircraft to a stop quickly and efficiently. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was a success, with the pilot demonstrating excellent skills and judgment. The aircraft performed well, and the landing was safe and efficient.
