Flight Score
Departure
Rotate sooner, bringing the nose up at 145 kt rather than letting speed build further.
What happened: You lifted off at 164 kt against a rotation target of 145 kt, rotating late in the ground roll.
Watch for: Watch airspeed and rotate at the target of 145 kt.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Apply steady, continuous back pressure through the flare to arrest the sink smoothly and hold the normal profile, rather than letting it drift.
What happened: The flare did not hold its target profile, with the sink most arrested at 7.9 ft, and this flight then touched down at 322 fpm of sink - a firm arrival. An unsettled flare profile like this usually carries through to a firmer touchdown.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a smooth, steadily decreasing sink rate through the flare to touchdown.

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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,645 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,645 ft of the 9,971 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,383 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 8 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, an Airbus A319, then departed from runway 12R at MMUN Aeropuerto Internacional de Cancún, a major airport in Cancún, Mexico. The takeoff distance was 7,045 feet, which accounted for 61% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 164 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it encountered local weather conditions of 83°F temperature and a 3-knot wind blowing at 39°. The aircraft's enroute climb started 1 mile south east of MMUN Aeropuerto Internacional de Cancún and continued for 23 minutes, covering a distance of 135 nautical miles. The aircraft climbed from an initial altitude of 1,043 feet above sea level to a cruising altitude of 38,154 feet, an increase of 37,111 feet.
After reaching its cruising altitude, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 65 minutes and covered a distance of 439 nautical miles. The aircraft's position during this phase was at a latitude of 23.2362937 and a longitude of -87.3766746.
As the aircraft began its descent, it encountered a change in weather conditions, with a temperature of 72°F and a 4-knot wind blowing at 160°. The aircraft's descent started 86 miles south of LA12 Louisiana State Police Troop B Helipad Heliport in Kenner, Louisiana, and continued for 25 minutes, covering a distance of 131 nautical miles. The aircraft descended from a cruising altitude of 37,744 feet to a final approach altitude of 3,027 feet, a decrease of 34,717 feet.
The aircraft then entered a short level cruise phase, lasting 5 minutes and covering a distance of 17 nautical miles, as it approached its final destination. The aircraft's final approach to runway 27 at KIAH George Bush Intercontinental Houston Airport was from the east, with a heading of 271.0° and an altitude of 1,244 feet above ground level.
The aircraft landed on runway 27, which had a length of 9,971 feet. The threshold height was good, but the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 138 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 1,391 feet, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 134 knots. The touchdown rate was fair at -291 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 12 feet from the centerline.
The total landing distance was 5,400 feet, which accounted for 54% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating a smooth and controlled landing. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area, a process that took 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 732 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 131 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 10,733 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A319 successfully landed at KIAH George Bush Intercontinental Houston Airport, achieving a high score of 98.3%. The aircraft approached the runway from the east, heading 271.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,244 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was made to runway 27, which has a length of 9,971 feet.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold height was good, but the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 138 knots. The touchdown distance was within acceptable limits at 1,391 feet, but the touchdown speed of 134 knots was a little fast. The touchdown rate of -291 feet per minute (fpm) was fair, indicating a moderate rate of descent.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 12 feet, which may have been due to factors such as wind or pilot error. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 72°F and a wind speed of 4 knots from 160°. The crosswind component was 4 knots, while the tailwind component was 1 knot.
The total landing distance of 5,400 feet was 54% of the runway length, which is within acceptable limits. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was well under control during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was successful, but there were some minor issues with speed and alignment that could be addressed in future flights.
