Work on the flare
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.

One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 8,384 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,249 ft 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 SKRG Jose Maria Córdova International Airport, a process that took 13 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft then departed from runway 01, with a takeoff distance of 6,726 feet, which accounted for 58% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 142 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 62 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 180 degrees.
As the aircraft climbed out of the airport, it began its enroute climb 2 miles north of SKRG Jose Maria Córdova International Airport. The climb took 11 minutes and covered a distance of 70 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 8,074 feet above sea level to 26,091 feet above sea level, an increase of 18,017 feet. The enroute level cruise started 6 miles northwest of Valdivia, Colombia, and lasted for 14 minutes, covering a distance of 96 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its enroute descent 3 miles northwest of Sahagun, Colombia. The descent took 20 minutes and covered a distance of 82 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from an altitude of 25,547 feet above sea level to 1,297 feet above sea level, a decrease of 24,250 feet. The final approach to runway 01 at SKCG Rafael Nuñez International Airport was made from the south, with a heading of 2.0 degrees and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway.
The landing on runway 01 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 1,256 feet, which was 30% of the runway length. The touchdown speed was 128 knots, and the touchdown rate was firm at -374 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the runway rollout alignment was also very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 77 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 360 degrees.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 258 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 63 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 4,813 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at SKCG Rafael Nuñez International Airport, achieving a high score of 97.8%. The aircraft approached the runway from the south, heading 2.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,266 feet above ground level (agl). This indicates a precise and controlled approach, setting the stage for a smooth landing.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on runway 01, which has a length of 8,384 feet. The threshold height was good, suggesting that the aircraft was at the correct altitude as it approached the runway. The threshold speed of 134 knots was also within the acceptable range, indicating that the aircraft was properly configured for landing.
The touchdown distance of 1,256 feet was good, and the touchdown speed of 128 knots was also within the acceptable range. The touchdown rate of -374 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, which is desirable as it indicates a controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, suggesting that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway as it touched down.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 77°F and a wind speed of 1 knot from 360°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind and a slight headwind of 1 knot, which did not pose any significant challenges to the landing.
The total landing distance of 2,556 feet was 30% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. This suggests that the aircraft was able to land smoothly and efficiently, with minimal use of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway as it rolled out after landing.
Overall, the landing of the Airbus A320 at SKCG Rafael Nuñez International Airport was a success, with a high score of 97.8%. The precise and controlled approach, good threshold height and speed, and firm touchdown rate all contributed to a smooth and efficient landing.
