Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.
What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 6.5 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.

Twenty knots on a monitor produces the visual sensation of about ten. The advice to "taxi at a walking pace" cannot fix this, because your sense of walking pace is exactly the thing that's broken. Put the groundspeed readout in your scan and obey it for the next fifty flights, the way a student pilot leans on the airspeed indicator before learning to read attitude.

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 1,717 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,717 m of the 3,441 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 497 m touchdown sits inside 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 MMGL Guadalajara International Airport, a process that took 11 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft then departed from runway 11, with a takeoff distance of 1,552 meters, which accounted for 39% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 148 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time were characterized by a temperature of 22 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 3 knots at 120 degrees.
As the aircraft climbed out of Guadalajara, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead the airport and took the aircraft from 6,060 feet above sea level to 16,933 feet above sea level, an increase of 10,874 feet in just 5 minutes. This climb covered a distance of 19 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a level cruise, which lasted for 2 minutes and covered 10 nautical miles, starting 7 miles east of MMDI Paco Airport Chapala.
The aircraft then began another enroute climb, this time from 16,991 feet above sea level to 30,241 feet above sea level, an increase of 13,250 feet in 9 minutes. This climb covered a distance of 58 nautical miles and started 4 miles south east of Tizapan el Alto. The aircraft then entered another level cruise, which lasted for 18 minutes and covered 138 nautical miles, starting 2 miles south west of Paracho de Verduzco.
As the aircraft continued its journey, it began its descent from 30,321 feet above sea level to 14,893 feet above sea level, a decrease of 15,428 feet in 15 minutes. This descent covered a distance of 97 nautical miles and started 3 miles north west of Zacualpan. The aircraft then entered another level cruise, which lasted for 3 minutes and covered 14 nautical miles, starting 2 miles north west of Apan.
The aircraft then began its final descent, which took it from 14,721 feet above sea level to 8,587 feet above sea level, a decrease of 6,134 feet in 7 minutes. This descent covered a distance of 29 nautical miles and started 2 miles south west of Zempoala. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 23L at MMMX Benito Juárez International Airport, flying from the north east at a heading of 239.0 degrees and at an altitude of 1,268 feet above ground level.
The aircraft landed on runway 23L, which had a length of 3,441 meters. The threshold height at 60 feet above ground level was above target, but the threshold speed was good at 130 knots. The touchdown point was 87 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was a little fast at 124 knots. The touchdown rate was fair at -246 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The total landing distance was 1,642 meters, which accounted for 48% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took 9 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile.
In total, the flight covered a distance of 376 nautical miles and took 77 minutes to complete, using 2,977 kilograms of fuel.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed on runway 23L at Benito Juárez International Airport (MMMX) with a score of 98.8%. The aircraft approached the runway from the northeast, heading 239.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,268 feet above ground level (agl).
The final approach was executed with precision, and the aircraft touched down on the runway at a speed of 124 knots, which was slightly above the target speed. However, the touchdown speed was still within acceptable limits. The touchdown point was 87 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, indicating a slight deviation from the ideal landing spot.
The threshold height at 60 feet agl was above the target, suggesting that the aircraft may have been slightly high during the final approach. Nevertheless, the threshold speed was good at 130 knots, indicating that the pilot maintained control and managed the aircraft's descent effectively.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 18°C and a gentle wind of 5 knots from 300°. The crosswind component was 4 knots, while the headwind component was 2 knots. These conditions did not pose a significant challenge to the landing, and the aircraft's performance was not affected.
The total landing distance was 1,642 meters, which accounted for 48% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the pilot executed a smooth and controlled touchdown. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, suggesting that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, and the aircraft came to a stop within a reasonable distance from the runway threshold. The score of 98.8% reflects the high level of proficiency demonstrated by the pilot during the landing.
