Flight Score
Departure
Reduce climb power to bring speed back to 170 kt and hold it there.
What happened: Climb speed was 26 kt fast at 196 kt during the climb.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 170 kt in the climb
Arrival
Add power earlier on final to hold VREF of 140 kt by the gates rather than let speed decay.
What happened: The approach was flown too slow through the stabilisation gates, crossing the threshold at 132 kt against a VREF of 140 kt.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator against 140 kt from the first stabilisation gate onward.
See Arrival Approach
Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: speed 7 kt SLOW on the reference speed of 140 kt.
At the 500 ft gate: speed 6 kt SLOW on the reference speed of 140 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,520 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 514 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Airbus A320 taxied from the parking area to runway 18L at KMCO Orlando International Airport in 6 minutes, covering a distance of 2 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 18L, the aircraft accelerated to a liftoff speed of 151 kt and departed after traveling 1,539 m, which represented 42 % of the runway length; ambient temperature was 34 °C with a wind of 4 kt from 129°, including a 3 kt cross-wind component and a 3 kt head-wind component.
The climb commenced 1 mile southwest of KMCO, climbing from 1,099 ft asl to 37,586 ft asl-a gain of 36,488 ft-over 22 minutes while covering 153 nm.
The first cruise segment began 66 miles west of Indian Rocks Beach, Florida, and persisted for 117 minutes, during which the aircraft flew 918 nm at level altitude.
Descent phase one started 1 mile northeast of Ahuazotepec, Mexico, with the aircraft descending from 37,996 ft asl to 17,725 ft asl, a loss of 20,271 ft, in 11 minutes while traversing 73 nm.
A brief cruise followed, initiating 4 miles west of Tepeji del Rio de Ocampo, Mexico, lasting 2 minutes and covering 8 nm at constant altitude.
The second descent began overhead Chapa de Mota, Mexico, with a reduction from 17,994 ft asl to 8,646 ft asl-a decrease of 9,349 ft-over 10 minutes and a distance of 40 nm.
On final approach to runway 05R at MMMX Benito Juárez International Airport, the aircraft approached from the southwest on a heading of 59.0°, at 4 nm and 1,326 ft agl.
Landing on runway 05R was executed with a threshold speed of 133 kt; touchdown occurred 106 m beyond the touchdown zone at 126 kt, with a vertical speed of minus 264 fpm and a lateral deviation of 3.7 m from the centreline. Local conditions were 21 °C temperature, wind 3 kt from 20°, including a 2 kt cross-wind and a 2 kt head-wind component.
The rollout covered a total landing distance of 1,219 m, representing 35 % of the runway, and the aircraft maintained perfect alignment throughout the deceleration phase.
The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 2 minutes, traveling less than 1 nm.
Overall, the flight covered 1,201 nm, required 171 minutes of elapsed time, and consumed 5,982 kg of fuel.
The Airbus A320 conducted the final approach to runway 05R at MMMX Benito Juárez International Airport from the south-west, maintaining a heading of 59.0° at 4 nm and 1,326 ft agl while the local temperature was 21 °C, wind 3 kt from 20°, with a 2 kt crosswind component and a 2 kt headwind component.
The threshold height was reported as good and the threshold speed was good at 133 kt.
Touchdown occurred 106 m beyond the designated touchdown zone with a speed of 126 kt, a fair vertical rate of minus 264 fpm, and the touchdown point was slightly misaligned by 3.7 m from the centreline.
The aircraft required a total landing distance of 1,219 m, representing 35 % of the 3,521 m runway, and the rollout alignment was perfect.
Refine lateral alignment on final approach to reduce the 3.7 m centreline offset, and adjust the flare to achieve a vertical rate closer to zero for a smoother touchdown.
