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 8.4 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Fly the flare as one continuous check of the sink rate from 49 ft, holding back pressure steadily rather than adjusting pitch piecemeal.
What happened: The flare drifted away from its intended profile rather than tracking it smoothly from 49 ft down to touchdown.
Watch for: Watch radio altitude and VSI through the flare, aiming to arrest the sink smoothly from 49 ft to touchdown.
See Arrival Landing
A crosswind landing is a geometry problem. The air mass you're flying in is moving sideways across the runway, and you need your ground track down the centreline with your wheels aligned to it at the moment of contact. There are two techniques that will help, the crab and the sideslip.

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 1,541 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,541 m of the 2,840 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 415 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in question was operated by an Airbus A320 aircraft. The aircraft began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 8 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. Departure roll took place on runway 07 at the Monseñor Óscar Arnulfo Romero International Airport, with the aircraft lifting off at a speed of 166 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 37 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 9 knots at a direction of 25 degrees.
The aircraft then began its enroute climb, which started 1 mile east of the airport and took the aircraft from an altitude of 1,112 feet above sea level to 36,673 feet above sea level, an increase of 35,560 feet in 29 minutes. The climb covered a distance of 132 nautical miles. Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 82 minutes and covered a distance of 646 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began another climb phase, which took it from an altitude of 36,699 feet above sea level to 37,488 feet above sea level, an increase of 790 feet in 2 minutes. This climb covered a distance of 9 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 10 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began its descent phase, which started at a latitude of 26.7533267 and a longitude of -89.9253447. The descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 37,607 feet above sea level to 32,918 feet above sea level, a decrease of 4,689 feet in 3 minutes. This descent covered a distance of 21 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which lasted for 67 minutes and covered a distance of 397 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began another descent phase, which started 3 miles west of the W C Ranch Airport in Grapeland, Texas. The descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 32,868 feet above sea level to 31,849 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,019 feet in 2 minutes. This descent covered a distance of 13 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which lasted for 3 minutes and covered a distance of 24 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began another descent phase, which started 2 miles east of the Grosser Airport in Bulverde, Texas. The descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 31,427 feet above sea level to 12,935 feet above sea level, a decrease of 18,492 feet in 9 minutes. This descent covered a distance of 56 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 8 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began another descent phase, which started 2 miles north east of Irving, Texas. The descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 12,370 feet above sea level to 2,334 feet above sea level, a decrease of 10,036 feet in 7 minutes. This descent covered a distance of 19 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which lasted for 5 minutes and covered a distance of 10 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 13R at the Dallas Fort Worth International Airport was made from the north west, with the aircraft heading at 139.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,294 feet above ground level. However, the aircraft was required to perform a go-around due to unknown reasons, and it touched down on the runway at an altitude of 37 feet above ground level.
The aircraft then
The Airbus A320 successfully landed on runway 13R at KDFW Dallas Fort Worth International Airport, achieving a score of 94.3%. The aircraft approached the runway from the northwest, heading 139.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,294 feet above ground level.
The landing was executed with good threshold height, indicating that the aircraft was properly configured for landing. The threshold speed was also within acceptable limits, at 139 kt. The touchdown distance of 350 meters was considered good, demonstrating the pilot's ability to control the aircraft's descent and speed.
However, the touchdown speed of 133 kt was slightly faster than recommended, which may have resulted in a slightly longer rollout distance. The touchdown rate of -165 feet per minute was considered good, indicating a smooth and controlled landing. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.5 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the pilot's alignment.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 30°C and a wind speed of 10 kt from 200°. The crosswind component was 9 kt, while the headwind component was 5 kt. These conditions may have presented some challenges for the pilot, but they were still able to execute a safe and controlled landing.
The total landing distance of 1,489 meters was 52% of the runway length, which is within acceptable limits. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 10.5 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the pilot's alignment during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was considered safe and successful, with a score of 94.3%.
