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 7.7 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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,351 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 300 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft, an Airbus A319, taxiing from the parking area to the runway at MMGL Guadalajara International Airport. This process took 7 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 29, and the takeoff distance was 2,211 meters, which is 55% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 149 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it encountered local weather conditions of 31°C temperature and a wind speed of 6 knots at 340°. The crosswind was 4 knots, and the headwind was also 4 knots. The enroute climb started 1 mile west of the airport and reached an altitude of 37,295 feet above sea level, an increase of 31,271 feet from the initial altitude of 6,024 feet. This climb took 18 minutes and covered a distance of 91 nautical miles.
Once the aircraft reached its cruising altitude, it began its level cruise 2 miles northwest of MMAS Aeropuerto Internacional Jesús Terán Peredo Aguascalientes. This phase of the flight lasted 114 minutes and covered a distance of 708 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its enroute descent 7 miles east of Cotton City, New Mexico, and descended from 37,074 feet to 4,280 feet above sea level, a decrease of 32,794 feet. This descent took 23 minutes and covered a distance of 109 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 29R at KTUS Tucson International Airport took place from the southeast, with the aircraft heading 314.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,676 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 29R took place at a speed of 131 knots, which was within the target threshold speed. However, the touchdown speed was a little fast at 127 knots, and the touchdown rate was very heavy at -883 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 39°C temperature and a wind speed of 13 knots at 190°. The crosswind was 11 knots, and the tailwind was 7 knots. The total landing distance was 1,255 meters, which is 37% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also very good. The taxiing to the parking area from the runway took 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
In total, the flight covered a distance of 917 nautical miles and took 163 minutes. The aircraft used 5,749 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A319 successfully landed at KTUS Tucson International Airport, achieving a score of 90.0%. The aircraft approached the runway from the southeast, heading 314.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,676 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was made to runway 29R, which has a length of 3,351 meters.
Upon landing, the aircraft's threshold height was above the target, indicating that the aircraft touched down slightly higher than intended. However, the threshold speed was within the acceptable range at 131 knots. The touchdown distance was also satisfactory at 301 meters, demonstrating good control and precision during the landing.
Despite the satisfactory touchdown distance, the touchdown speed was a little fast at 127 knots. This may indicate that the aircraft could have been slowed down slightly more during the approach to achieve a more optimal touchdown speed. Furthermore, the touchdown rate was very heavy at -883 feet per minute (fpm), which may have resulted in a more abrupt deceleration upon touchdown.
The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway during the landing. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 39°C and winds of 13 knots from 190°. The crosswind component was 11 knots, while the tailwind component was 7 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,255 meters, which is 37% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was able to slow down and stop quickly after touchdown. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, demonstrating good control and precision during the landing roll.
Overall, the Airbus A319's landing at KTUS Tucson International Airport was successful, with a score of 90.0%. While there were some minor issues with the touchdown speed and rate, the aircraft's performance during the landing was generally satisfactory.
