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 5.1 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Begin the flare with progressive back pressure and keep it coming until the sink is arrested, rather than flying it on flat.
What happened: The nose was barely raised in the flare and little of the sink was taken out, flying the aircraft onto the runway. This pattern usually carries through to a firm touchdown with a noticeable sink rate.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a smoothly reducing sink through the normal flare band, not a steady rate into the runway.
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 3,198 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 589 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft, an Airbus A320, taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Ramón Villeda Morales International Airport, taking 6 minutes and covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 22, with the aircraft lifting off after a takeoff distance of 1,664 meters, which was 64% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 158 knots.
As the aircraft climbed, it started its enroute climb 1 mile west of La Lima, Honduras, at an altitude of 1,108 feet above sea level. The climb continued for 9 minutes, covering a distance of 21 nautical miles, and reaching an altitude of 18,672 feet above sea level, an increase of 17,565 feet. The local weather conditions during this time were characterized by a temperature of 27 degrees Celsius.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 9 miles south of El Negrito, Honduras. This phase lasted for 18 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 80 nautical miles. The cruise phase was followed by an enroute descent, which began 2 miles south of MHLA La Alondra Airport Candelaria, Honduras. The descent took 14 minutes, covering a distance of 52 nautical miles, and resulted in a decrease of 17,521 feet in altitude, from 18,682 feet above sea level to 1,161 feet above sea level.
The final approach to runway 07 at Monseñor Óscar Arnulfo Romero International Airport was made from the southwest, with the aircraft heading 70.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,069 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing took place on runway 07, which had a length of 3,198 meters. The threshold height was slightly above the target, but the threshold speed was good at 134 knots.
The touchdown point was 169 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 128 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was fair at -293 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions during the landing were characterized by a temperature of 26 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 2 knots at 315 degrees. The crosswind was 2 knots, and the tailwind was 1 knot.
The total landing distance was 1,336 meters, which was 42% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. After landing, the aircraft taxiied to the parking area, taking 5 minutes and covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 162 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 52 minutes. The aircraft used 2,274 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at MSLP Monseñor Óscar Arnulfo Romero International Airport, with a final approach score of 91.1%. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the southwest, heading 70.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,069 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on runway 07, which has a length of 3,198 meters. The threshold height at 56 feet agl was slightly above the target, indicating a minor deviation from the ideal landing height. However, the threshold speed was satisfactory at 134 knots, demonstrating good control and management of the aircraft's descent.
The touchdown point was located 169 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The touchdown speed of 128 knots was slightly faster than the ideal speed, resulting in a touchdown rate of -293 feet per minute (fpm), which was considered fair. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway during the landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 26°C and a wind speed of 2 knots at 315°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, and the tailwind component was negligible at 1 knot. These conditions contributed to a smooth and controlled landing.
The total landing distance was 1,336 meters, which accounts for 42% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was properly controlled and managed during the landing. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, demonstrating excellent control and management of the aircraft's speed and direction during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with a score of 91.1%. The minor deviations in threshold height and touchdown speed were compensated by the excellent runway touchdown alignment and the short landing distance.
