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 2,420 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 576 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 10 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, an Airbus A319, then departed from runway 34 at the Jorge Chavez International Airport in Lima, Peru. The takeoff distance was 1,792 meters, which accounted for 62% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 168 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 20 degrees Celsius and winds of 8 knots at 299 degrees. The crosswind was 4 knots, while the headwind was 7 knots. After departing from the airport, the enroute climb began approximately 1 mile northwest of the airport, with the aircraft climbing from an altitude of 1,045 feet above sea level to 36,423 feet above sea level. This increase in altitude of 35,378 feet was achieved in 24 minutes and covered a distance of 92 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started approximately 1 mile east of Acas, Peru, and lasted for 257 minutes, covering a distance of 1,745 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent approximately 7 miles northeast of the Sangster International Airport in Montego Bay, Jamaica. The descent from 36,450 feet above sea level to 1,319 feet above sea level was achieved in 26 minutes and covered a distance of 12 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 07 at the Sangster International Airport was made from the southwest, with the aircraft heading at 65.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,304 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 07 was successful, with the touchdown point being 158 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 118 knots, which was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate was also good at -182 feet per minute.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 27 degrees Celsius and winds of 1 knot at 103 degrees. The crosswind was 1 knot, while the headwind was also 1 knot. The total landing distance was 1,282 meters, which accounted for 53% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating a smooth and controlled landing.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, which took 5 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,858 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 321 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 12,327 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A319 successfully landed at MKJS Sangster International Airport, achieving a high score of 95.9%. The aircraft approached the runway from the southwest, heading 65.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,304 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with precision, and the aircraft landed safely on runway 07, which has a length of 2,420 meters.
Upon landing, the threshold height was found to be above the target, indicating that the aircraft touched down slightly higher than intended. However, the threshold speed was satisfactory at 127 knots, demonstrating good control and management of the aircraft's descent. The touchdown point was located 158 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation from the intended landing spot.
The touchdown speed of 118 knots was also within acceptable limits, and the touchdown rate of -182 feet per minute (fpm) was good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, suggesting that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway and that the pilots maintained good control throughout the landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 27°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from 103°. The crosswind and headwind components were both minimal, at 1 knot each, which contributed to a smooth and stable landing.
The total landing distance of 1,282 meters was 53% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. This suggests that the pilots executed a well-planned and controlled landing, taking into account the aircraft's performance and the runway's characteristics. Finally, the runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft maintained good control and alignment during the rollout phase, ensuring a safe and stable stop at the end of the runway.
