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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with five 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 2,504 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 263 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Jorge Chavez International Airport in Lima, Peru, the Airbus A320 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 12 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. Upon reaching runway 16L, the aircraft initiated its departure roll, utilizing 76% of the 2,216-meter runway to achieve liftoff at a speed of 165 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 27°C, with a gentle headwind of 9 knots and a crosswind of 3 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it passed overhead Carmen De La Legua Reynoso, marking the beginning of its enroute climb phase. Over the course of 20 minutes, the aircraft ascended from 1,150 feet above sea level to 35,345 feet, a vertical increase of 34,195 feet and a horizontal distance of 131 nautical miles. Following a 43-minute level cruise at an altitude of 35,345 feet, the aircraft began its descent phase, starting 14 miles east of Bernal, Peru. The descent from 35,336 feet to 1,460 feet took 21 minutes and covered 117 nautical miles.
Upon reaching the final approach phase, the aircraft aligned itself with runway 32 at Captain Pedro Canga Rodríguez International Airport, located in Manta, Ecuador. The aircraft touched down on the runway at a speed of 137 knots, slightly above the target speed, and utilized a touchdown distance of 266 meters, which was within acceptable limits. The total landing distance of 1,103 meters accounted for 44% of the 2,504-meter runway. Following a smooth rollout, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, concluding its journey of 587 nautical miles, which had utilized 3,861 kilograms of fuel and taken a total of 100 minutes.
The final approach to runway 32 at SPME Captain Pedro Canga Rodríguez International Airport from the south east was executed with precision, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 322.0° at 4 nm and 1,356 ft above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height achieved. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 138 kt, indicating a slight deviation from the optimal landing speed.
As the aircraft touched down on the runway, the touchdown distance was good at 266 m, but the touchdown speed of 137 kt was a little fast, which may have contributed to the very heavy touchdown rate of -702 fpm. Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was well-centered on the runway. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 27 °C and a light wind of 4 kt at 260°, did not pose any significant challenges to the landing.
The total landing distance of 1,103 m, which accounted for 44% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the aircraft maintained its centerline alignment throughout the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was considered satisfactory, with a score of 93.2% reflecting the minor deviations from optimal performance.
