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 6.3 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Apply steady, continuous back pressure through the flare to arrest the sink smoothly and hold the normal profile, rather than letting it drift.
What happened: The flare did not hold its target profile, with the sink most arrested at 1.7 ft, and this flight then touched down at 264 fpm of sink - a firm arrival. An unsettled flare profile like this usually carries through to a firmer touchdown.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a smooth, steadily decreasing sink rate through the flare to touchdown.
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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,614 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 186 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 Monseñor Óscar Arnulfo Romero International Airport, taking 6 minutes and covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 07, with the aircraft lifting off at a speed of 156 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 31 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 5 knots from a direction of 178 degrees.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, which started 1 mile east of the airport. The climb took place from an altitude of 1,144 feet above sea level to 17,622 feet above sea level, an increase of 16,478 feet in just 6 minutes, covering a distance of 29 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a level cruise, which started 9 miles west of Sensuntepeque, El Salvador, and lasted for 9 minutes, covering a distance of 56 nautical miles.
The enroute descent phase began 6 miles south of San Francisco de Ojuera, Honduras, where the aircraft descended from 17,668 feet above sea level to 16,528 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,140 feet in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 10 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise, which started 2 miles east of San Pedro Zacapa, Honduras, and lasted for 5 minutes, covering a distance of 30 nautical miles.
The final descent phase began 7 miles south-east of MHMP Marcos Perez Airport Agua Blanca Sur, Honduras, where the aircraft descended from 16,529 feet above sea level to 1,407 feet above sea level, a decrease of 15,122 feet in 10 minutes, covering a distance of 19 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 22 at MHLM Ramón Villeda Morales International Airport, approaching from the north-east at a heading of 220.0 degrees, 4 nautical miles from the airport and 1,308 feet above ground level.
The landing took place on runway 22, which had a length of 2,614 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 132 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 184 meters, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 128 knots. The touchdown rate was fair at -291 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 25 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 5 knots from a direction of 0 degrees.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking 3 minutes and covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 152 nautical miles, taking 42 minutes, and the aircraft used 1,733 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at MHLM Ramón Villeda Morales International Airport, achieving a score of 96.2%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north east, heading 220.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,308 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with precision, and the aircraft landed safely on runway 22, which has a length of 2,614 meters.
The threshold height was good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct altitude as it approached the runway. The threshold speed of 132 knots was also within the acceptable range, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's speed during the landing phase. The touchdown distance of 184 meters was also good, indicating that the aircraft was able to touch down within a safe distance from the runway threshold.
However, the touchdown speed of 128 knots was slightly faster than the recommended speed, which may have resulted in a slightly higher touchdown rate of -291 feet per minute (fpm). Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown.
The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 25°C and a wind speed of 5 knots at 0°. The crosswind and tailwind components were minimal, with 3 knots and 4 knots, respectively. The total landing distance of 981 meters was 38% of the runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and weight.
During the rollout phase, the aircraft's alignment with the runway centerline was slightly off by 10.2 meters. This may have been due to a slight deviation in the pilot's control inputs or a minor issue with the aircraft's directional control. Nevertheless, the landing was overall successful, and the aircraft came to a stop within a safe distance from the runway threshold.
