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 7.2 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 approach to be at 138 kt by the stabilisation gate, not just by the threshold.
What happened: The approach was too fast at the stabilisation gate, crossing the threshold at 138 kt against a VREF of 138 kt.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator against 138 kt at the stabilisation gate.
See Arrival Approach
Below 10,000 ft you are typically limited to 250 kt indicated (a US rule that much of the world mirrors in some form, though not universally). This forces a deceleration around 10,000 ft whether the profile wants one or not, so plan for it rather than discovering it.

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 33 kt FAST on the reference speed of 138 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 2,788 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 202 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Airbus A320 taxied from the parking area to runway 24 at RPLL Ninoy Aquino International Airport, a movement that lasted 9 minutes and covered 2 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 24, the aircraft accelerated to a liftoff speed of 163 kt and left the ground after traveling 2,181 m, which represented 61 % of the runway length. Ambient conditions were 30 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 319°, a cross-wind component of 2 kt and no head-wind.
Climb commenced approximately 1 mile south-west of RPLL, with the airplane climbing from 1,084 ft asl to 31,228 ft asl, an altitude gain of 30,144 ft achieved in 18 minutes while covering 111 nm.
The level cruise segment began 10 miles south-west of Aritao in the Cagayan Valley and continued for 21 minutes, during which the aircraft traversed 70 nm.
Descent was initiated 10 miles east of Santa Maria in Ilocos, descending from 30,636 ft asl to 1,345 ft asl, a loss of 29,291 ft over 13 minutes and a distance of 76 nm.
For the final approach, the A320 aligned with runway 19 at RPLI Laoag International Airport from the north, maintaining a heading of 186.0° at 4 nm and 1,306 ft agl.
Landing on runway 19 was executed with a threshold speed recorded at 139 kt, slightly above the target. Touchdown occurred 204 m down the runway at a speed of 137 kt, with a vertical speed of minus 580 fpm and a lateral deviation of 3.2 m from the centreline. The runway length is 2,788 m and the total landing distance measured 1,420 m, representing 51 % of the runway.
Runway rollout alignment was reported as very good, confirming the aircraft remained on the centreline throughout the deceleration phase.
After exiting the runway, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in less than 1 minute, covering less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 267 nm, took 55 minutes, and consumed 2,382 kg of fuel.
The Airbus A320 established a final approach to runway 19 at RPLI Laoag International Airport from the north, tracking a heading of 186.0° at 4 nm and 1,306 ft AGL while the local temperature was 26 °C, wind 4 kt from 110° with a 4 kt cross-component and a 1 kt headwind.
The threshold height was good and the threshold speed was slightly above target at 139 kt as the aircraft prepared for flare.
Touchdown occurred 204 m down the runway; the touchdown speed of 137 kt was a little fast, the vertical rate was very hard at minus 580 fpm, and the touchdown point was slightly misaligned by 3.2 m from the centreline.
The total landing distance was 1,420 m, representing 51 % of the 2,788 m runway, and the rollout alignment was very good.
To refine future landings, aim to reduce the touchdown speed to the target value and manage the flare to achieve a softer vertical rate, while maintaining the current high-quality rollout alignment.
