Improve the takeoff
The rudder input is a changing profile through the roll rather than one that is held. So the demand on your right foot starts large at power application, eases as speed builds and the rudder gains authority, then jumps again at rotation.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,683 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,683 m of the 3,113 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 578 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 6 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The Airbus A320 then departed from runway 05L at Benito Juárez International Airport (MMMX), with a takeoff distance of 2,385 meters, which was 80% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 154 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 26°C and a wind speed of 16 knots from a direction of 160°. This resulted in a crosswind of 15 knots and a tailwind of 3 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile northeast of the airport and ascending from 8,346 feet above sea level to 21,056 feet above sea level, an increase of 12,710 feet in 7 minutes, covering a distance of 16 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 2 miles southwest of Delegacion Cuajimalpa de Morelos and lasted 2 minutes, covering 9 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute climb, starting 3 miles southeast of Xonacatlan and ascending from 21,797 feet above sea level to 34,905 feet above sea level, an increase of 13,107 feet in 10 minutes, covering a distance of 73 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 1 mile west of El Caracol and lasted 22 minutes, covering 159 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 2 miles southeast of Palomar and descending from 35,100 feet above sea level to 1,458 feet above sea level, a decrease of 33,643 feet in 20 minutes, covering a distance of 100 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 22 at Puerto Vallarta International Airport (MMPR) was made from the northeast, heading 227.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,428 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 22, which had a length of 3,113 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 140 knots.
The touchdown point was 164 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 133 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was fair at -274 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 28°C and a wind speed of 8 knots from a direction of 270°, resulting in a crosswind of 6 knots and a headwind of 6 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,604 meters, which was 52% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The aircraft then taxiied to the parking area from the runway, a process that took 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 365 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 73 minutes. The aircraft used 2,861 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at Puerto Vallarta International Airport, achieving a score of 97.2%. The aircraft approached the runway from the northeast, heading 227.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,428 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with good threshold height, indicating that the aircraft was properly configured for landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed on runway 22, which has a length of 3,113 meters. The threshold speed was within the acceptable range at 140 knots, demonstrating that the pilots maintained control and adhered to standard procedures. However, the touchdown point was 164 meters beyond the touchdown zone, suggesting that the pilots may have slightly over-extended the landing. The touchdown speed of 133 knots was a bit faster than ideal, which could have contributed to the extended landing distance.
The touchdown rate of -274 feet per minute (fpm) was considered fair, indicating that the aircraft's descent was not excessively steep. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, signifying that the pilots maintained proper control and alignment during the final stages of the approach. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 28°C and winds of 8 knots at 270°, resulted in a crosswind of 6 knots and a headwind of 6 knots, which did not significantly impact the landing.
The total landing distance of 1,604 meters was 52% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft had sufficient stopping distance. The runway rollout alignment was very good, demonstrating that the pilots maintained control and properly aligned the aircraft with the runway during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score despite a few minor deviations from ideal performance.
