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 16 ft off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
A small uncorrected heading error at 40 knots becomes a metre of offset per second by 100 knots, noticed only at rotation, producing a crabbed liftoff. Root cause is nearly always eyes on the tape instead of the far end of the runway. Small heading changes displace a distant point visibly long before the nearby centreline stripes look wrong.

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.

Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 6,865 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,520 ft touchdown sits inside 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 8 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 27 at Miami International Airport (KMIA). The takeoff distance was 4,846 feet, which accounted for 43% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 158 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 85 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind speed of 3 knots at 280 degrees. The crosswind was 1 knot, and the headwind was 3 knots. After departing from KMIA, the aircraft began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile north of Flagami, Florida. The climb took 23 minutes and covered a distance of 148 nautical miles, with the aircraft ascending from 1,039 feet above sea level to 34,918 feet above sea level, an increase of 33,879 feet.
The enroute level cruise started 19 miles northeast of Varadero, Cuba, and lasted for 60 minutes, covering a distance of 442 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 76 miles north of Guanaja, Honduras. The descent took 18 minutes and covered a distance of 91 nautical miles, with the aircraft descending from 34,994 feet above sea level to 1,322 feet above sea level, a decrease of 33,672 feet.
The final approach to runway 07 at Juan Manuel Gálvez International Airport (MHRO) was made from the southwest, heading 65.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,295 feet above ground level. However, the aircraft performed a go-around at 13 feet above ground level. The aircraft then landed on runway 07, which had a length of 6,865 feet. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 136 knots.
The touchdown point was 157 feet beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 124 knots, which was good. The touchdown rate was fair at -245 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 88 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind speed of 5 knots at 90 degrees. The crosswind was 2 knots, and the headwind was 5 knots. The total landing distance was 3,823 feet, which accounted for 56% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking from the runway, which took 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 696 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 2 hours and 4 minutes. The aircraft used 13,263 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at Juan Manuel Gálvez International Airport, with a final approach score of 99.6%. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the southwest, heading 65.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,295 feet above ground level (agl).
The landing was executed on runway 07, which has a length of 6,865 feet. The threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct height as it approached the runway. The threshold speed, which is the speed at which the aircraft should be flying as it touches down on the runway, was also good, with a speed of 134 knots.
The touchdown point was 157 feet beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively short distance. The touchdown speed of 124 knots was also good, indicating that the aircraft was flying at a safe speed as it touched down on the runway. However, the touchdown rate of -245 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair, suggesting that the aircraft may have experienced a slightly higher-than-desired rate of descent.
Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was aligned with the runway as it touched down. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 88°F and a wind speed of 5 knots from a direction of 90°. The crosswind component was minimal, at 2 knots, while the headwind component was 5 knots.
The total landing distance was 3,823 feet, which is 56% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was able to touch down and come to a stop quickly. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the aircraft was aligned with the runway as it rolled out after landing.
Overall, the landing was a success, with the aircraft touching down safely and coming to a stop quickly. The high score of 99.6% reflects the high level of skill and precision demonstrated by the pilot during the landing.
