Flight Score
Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a fixed point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline during the roll.
What happened: The aircraft drifted 99 m off the runway centreline during the ground roll, and wing drift like that usually keeps reappearing as bank in the climb, with 6.6° of bank in the first climb segment and 3.1° still showing in the second.
Watch for: Heading indicator: steady on the runway centreline during the roll, then wings level through the climb.
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 0.3 ft, and this flight then touched down at 228 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.
Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: off the centreline.
At the 500 ft gate: off the centreline.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,198 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 429 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a quick taxiing process from the parking area to the runway, taking less than a minute and covering a distance of less than a nautical mile. The aircraft, an Airbus A320, then departed from runway 07 at Monseñor Óscar Arnulfo Romero International Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,833 meters, which is 57% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 160 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of 18 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots at 269 degrees.
As the aircraft climbed, it started its enroute climb 2 miles south of El Rosario, Departamento de La Paz, El Salvador. The climb began at an altitude of 1,149 feet above sea level and increased to 2,296 feet, a total increase of 1,147 feet, in just 1 minute and covering a distance of 4 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise then started 2 miles south of Santiago Nonualco, Departamento de La Paz, El Salvador, and lasted for 3 minutes, covering a distance of 12 nautical miles.
The enroute descent began 4 miles south of Santiago Nonualco, Departamento de La Paz, El Salvador, and the aircraft descended from 2,448 feet above sea level to 1,603 feet, a decrease of 845 feet, in 2 minutes and covering a distance of 7 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 25 at Monseñor Óscar Arnulfo Romero International Airport was made from the northeast, heading 244.0 degrees, at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,505 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 25 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 429 meters and a touchdown speed of 124 knots, which were both within the acceptable limits. The touchdown rate was firm at -371 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 9.9 meters. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 17 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots at 270 degrees.
The total flight distance was 32 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 12 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 7,988 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at MSLP Monseñor Óscar Arnulfo Romero International Airport, achieving a high score of 93.3%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north east, heading 244.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,505 feet above ground level (agl).
The final approach to runway 25 was executed smoothly, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 124 knots, which was within the target range. The touchdown distance of 429 meters was also satisfactory, indicating that the aircraft was well-controlled during the landing phase. The touchdown rate of -371 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, suggesting that the aircraft was able to absorb the impact of touchdown effectively.
However, there was a slight deviation from the ideal landing performance, as the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 9.9 meters from the centerline. This may have been due to a slight miscalculation of the aircraft's position or a minor deviation from the intended flight path.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 17°C and a gentle wind of 2 knots at 270°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 2 knots, which helped to stabilize the aircraft during the landing phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, and the aircraft was able to touch down safely on the runway. However, the slight deviation from the centerline may require further attention to ensure that future landings are executed with greater precision.
