MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Raise the gear lever promptly once a positive rate of climb is confirmed after liftoff.
What happened: The landing gear was never raised during the initial climb and was still down when the climb ended.
Watch for: Landing gear lever: UP promptly after confirming a positive rate of climb.
Arrival
Reduce power on final so the aircraft arrives at 121 kt over the threshold instead of carrying excess speed.
What happened: Crossing the threshold at 142 kt against a 121 kt target usually carries extra energy into the flare as a balloon, and the sink that returns afterward usually arrives hard at touchdown.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 121 kt at the threshold
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.

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 500 ft gate: speed 20.8 kt FAST on the reference speed of 121 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 2,285 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,285 m of the 3,520 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 640 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The 1.77 G arrival bounced.
The rest of the report
The Airbus A320-ceo departed from runway 11L at MMGL Guadalajara International Airport. The take-off roll used 2,419 m, which was 68 % of the runway, and rotation occurred at 139 kt. Local weather was 23 °C with wind 3 kt from 090°, a 1 kt crosswind and a 3 kt headwind.
Initial climb to 1,000 ft agl lasted 20 seconds, averaging 2,031 fpm and reaching 160 kt at the top. The climb continued from 6,004 ft asl to 33,009 ft asl in 18 minutes, covering 111 nm, with a brief level-off at 24,000 ft asl. Cruise was level at 32,900 ft asl for 10 minutes, covering 75 nm. Descent from 32,313 ft asl to 12,355 ft asl took 14 minutes over 97 nm, with a brief level-off at 18,000 ft asl.
A subsequent climb from 12,315 ft asl to 13,168 ft asl lasted 2 minutes over 8 nm. Descent from 13,531 ft asl to 9,009 ft asl took 8 minutes covering 36 nm, with a brief level-off at 11,700 ft asl. Level flight at 9,000 ft asl continued for 12 minutes, covering 35 nm.
Final approach to runway 05R at MMMX Benito Juárez International Airport began at 1,358 ft agl and descended to 66 ft agl in 86 seconds. Stabilisation checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway were met for gear down, landing flap, sink rate, glideslope, centreline and wings level; the speed check was not met at one gate. Configuration on final was flap position 5 at 3,107 ft agl with a speed of 192 kt.
Landing on runway 05R used a runway length of 3,520 m. The threshold speed was 143 kt, which was too high. Touchdown occurred 243 m beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 139 kt, which was too fast, with a very heavy rate of -747 fpm. The aircraft ballooned in the flare and experienced one bounce on touchdown. Runway touchdown was slightly misaligned by 4.0 m from centreline. Total landing distance was 2,227 m, 63 % of the runway, and rollout alignment was slightly off by 12.1 m from centreline. Local weather at landing was 21 °C with wind 2 kt from 360°, a 2 kt crosswind and a 1 kt headwind.
Taxiing from the runway to the parking area took less than 1 minute and covered less than 1 nm. The total flight covered 373 nm in 83 minutes and used 3,084 kg of fuel.
