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 4.9 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Reduce power earlier on final to bring threshold speed back to 124 kt.
What happened: You crossed the threshold at 132 kt against a target of 124 kt, and touchdown ended up well past the normal point. Carrying excess threshold speed usually carries the touchdown long as the aircraft floats before settling.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator, targeting 124 kt at the threshold.
Ground effect becomes significant below about one wingspan of height. A Cessna 172, with a 36 ft span, enters ground effect at flare height - the float it feels in the hold-off is ground effect arriving on cue. An A320, with a span around 117 ft, has been in ground effect since before the threshold and there is no sudden cushion to feel, only a gradual reduction in induced drag that lengthens any float you allow.

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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,908 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,908 m of the 2,790 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 630 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The aircraft taxied from the parking area to runway 32L at El Dorado International Airport (SKBO) in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 1 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 32L, the Boeing 737-700 accelerated through a takeoff distance of 1,643 m, representing 43 % of the runway, and lifted off at 138 kt; ambient temperature was 12 °C with a 1-kt wind from 290°, providing a 1-kt headwind and no crosswind.
Climb commenced 2 mi east of Funza, with the aircraft ascending from 9,309 ft ASL to 40,939 ft ASL-a gain of 31,630 ft-over 45 minutes while covering 345 nm.
Cruise began 9 mi southwest of Porvenir and continued for 235 minutes, during which the flight traversed 1,816 nm at level altitude.
Descent was initiated 17 mi south of San Jose de Jachal, descending from 40,451 ft ASL to 3,620 ft ASL, a loss of 36,831 ft, in 23 minutes and covering 159 nm.
The final approach to runway 36 at El Plumerillo Airport (SAME) reduced altitude from 1,367 ft AGL to 79 ft AGL in 96 seconds, and the aircraft scored on the stabilisation gates.
Landing on runway 36 was executed with a threshold speed of 132 kt, slightly above target, and the aircraft touched down 211 m beyond the touchdown zone at 116 kt; the touchdown rate was minus 184 fpm, alignment was very good, and local conditions were 15 °C, wind 4 kt from 170° with a 1-kt crosswind and a 4-kt tailwind. Total landing distance measured 1,823 m, equivalent to 65 % of the runway length.
Runway rollout alignment was reported as perfect as the aircraft decelerated to a stop within the remaining runway.
The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in less than 1 minute, covering less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 2,328 nm, lasted 309 minutes, and consumed 11,581 kg of fuel.
The Boeing 737-700 achieved a 99.0 % score as it entered the final approach to runway 36 at SAME El Plumerillo Airport. The approach was assessed as stabilised at the 1,000 ft gate, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope, centreline and speed all within limits. Descent proceeded from 1,367 ft agl to 79 ft agl in 96 seconds and the aircraft was scored on the stabilisation gates.
At threshold the aircraft displayed good threshold height and the threshold speed was slightly above target at 132 kt.
Touchdown occurred 211 m beyond the touchdown zone. Touchdown speed was 116 kt and rated good, the vertical rate was -184 fpm and also rated good, and runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The rollout covered a total landing distance of 1,823 m, representing 65 % of the 2,790 m runway, with rollout alignment perfect. Local weather was 15 °C, wind 4 kt from 170°, crosswind 1 kt and tailwind 4 kt.
Minor refinements should focus on reducing the slightly high threshold speed toward the target and adjusting the flare to place the touchdown point closer to the preferred zone.
