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 11 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Keep the back pressure coming once the flare is established, holding the nose up through to touchdown instead of easing it.
What happened: The flare arrested the sink but 198 fpm of it came back before touchdown, and in flights like this one that returning sink usually carries through to a firm or hard touchdown at 372 fpm.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: the sink held near zero all the way through touchdown, not allowed to build back up.
There are several things that can go wrong during the flare, carrying too much speed over the threshold, starting the flare at the wrong height and inconsistent flight control inputs, all contribute to a poor flare resulting in a hard touchdown or a float down the runway.

3 landings
The flight is kept as it was recorded: it ends when the engine is shut down, so a landing with the rotors turning is a stop along the way, not a new flight.

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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,135 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 628 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Guadalajara International Airport (MMGL) served as the departure point for the Airbus A320, which taxiing from the parking area to runway 11 required 13 minutes and covered 3 nm. The aircraft rolled out on runway 11, utilizing 2,820 m of the available runway, which represented 70 % of the total length. Liftoff occurred at a speed of 168 kt under local conditions of 28 °C, 8 kt wind from 72°, with a crosswind component of 5 kt and a headwind of 6 kt. The climb commenced 1 mile southeast of MMGL, ascending from 6,060 ft to 34,479 ft, an increase of 28,418 ft over 20 minutes while covering 138 nm. After reaching 34,479 ft, the aircraft entered a cruise phase 5 miles south of Loreto, maintaining level flight for 214 minutes and covering 1,710 nm.
The descent phase began 2 miles southwest of Trappe, Maryland, where the aircraft reduced altitude from 33,135 ft to 2,437 ft, a decrease of 30,698 ft in 34 minutes and covering 182 nm. A brief cruise segment followed 2 miles southeast of Larchmont, New York, lasting 3 minutes and covering 6 nm before the final approach. The approach to runway 22 at LaGuardia Airport (KLGA) was executed from the northeast, with a heading of 212.0° at 4 nm and 1,276 ft above ground level. Landing on runway 22, which measures 2,133 m, the threshold speed was slightly above target at 132 kt, and the touchdown occurred 207 m beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 125 kt. The touchdown rate was -291 fpm, and the runway rollout alignment was perfect, resulting in a total landing distance of 1,167 m, or 55 % of the runway length. Local weather at the destination was 24 °C with an 8 kt wind from 210°, providing a headwind of 8 kt and no crosswind.
After touchdown, taxiing back to the parking area required less than 1 minute and covered less than 1 nm. The entire flight covered a total distance of 2,047 nm, took 282 minutes, and consumed 11,979 kg of fuel.
The final approach to runway 22 at KLGA LaGuardia Airport was executed from the northeast, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 212.0° at 4 nm and 1,276 ft AGL. The approach quality was smooth, and the threshold height was good, allowing the aircraft to maintain the required glide path. The threshold speed was slightly above target at 132 kt, yet the aircraft remained within acceptable limits for the approach.
Touchdown occurred 207 m beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 125 kt, a little fast but still within the acceptable range. The touchdown rate was fair at –291 fpm, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The aircraft touched down on the centerline, and the local weather conditions—temperature 24 °C, wind 8 kt at 210°, crosswind 0 kt, headwind 8 kt—contributed to a stable landing.
The rollout was efficient, covering a total landing distance of 1,167 m, which represents 55 % of the runway length of 2,133 m. The runway rollout alignment remained perfect throughout the deceleration phase. Overall, the landing performance achieved a score of 97.4 %.
