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 18 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Below 10,000 ft you are typically limited to 250 kt indicated (a US rule that much of the world mirrors in some form, though not universally). This forces a deceleration around 10,000 ft whether the profile wants one or not, so plan for it rather than discovering it.

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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,690 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 559 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 just 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The Airbus A320 then departed from runway 10 at Cyril E. King Airport, located in the United States Virgin Islands. The takeoff distance was 1,702 meters, which is 80% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 164 knots.
As the flight progressed, the aircraft encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 33°C and winds of 7 knots at 140°. The crosswind was 6 knots, while the headwind was 4 knots. The enroute climb began overhead the Charlotte Amalie Harbor Seaplane Base, where the aircraft climbed from 1,033 feet above sea level to 29,934 feet above sea level, an increase of 28,900 feet in just 16 minutes and covering 97 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 1 mile north of Antonio/Nery/Juarbe Pol Arecibo Airport in Puerto Rico and lasted for 271 minutes, covering 1,911 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, first from 30,375 feet above sea level to 29,552 feet above sea level, a decrease of 824 feet in just 2 minutes and covering 11 nautical miles. The descent was followed by a climb from 29,721 feet above sea level to 30,411 feet above sea level, an increase of 691 feet in 2 minutes and covering 10 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, this time starting 2 miles east of Ponciano Arriaga International Airport in Mexico and lasting for 30 minutes, covering 191 nautical miles. The enroute descent began 9 miles east of Huazamota Airstrip in Mexico, where the aircraft descended from 30,292 feet above sea level to 1,344 feet above sea level, a decrease of 28,948 feet in 20 minutes and covering 110 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 27 at General Rafael Buelna International Airport was made from the east, heading 273.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,303 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 27, which is 2,690 meters long. The threshold height was slightly above the target, but the threshold speed was good at 132 knots.
The touchdown point was 137 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was a little fast at 125 knots. However, the touchdown rate was good at -158 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.9 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 34°C and winds of 3 knots at 299°, with a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 3 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,196 meters, which is 44% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The aircraft then taxied 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 2,338 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 353 minutes. The aircraft used 12,735 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at MMMZ General Rafael Buelna International Airport, achieving a score of 97.5%. The aircraft approached the runway from the east, heading 273.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,303 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was made to runway 27, which has a length of 2,690 meters.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down slightly beyond the touchdown zone, 137 meters past the designated area. The touchdown speed was recorded at 125 knots, which was a little faster than the target speed. However, the touchdown rate of -158 feet per minute (fpm) was considered good. The runway touchdown position was also slightly misaligned from the centerline by 4.9 meters.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 34°C and a wind speed of 3 knots from 299°. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 3 knots. Despite these conditions, the aircraft's landing performance was satisfactory.
The total landing distance covered by the aircraft was 1,196 meters, which accounted for 44% of the runway length. This indicates that the aircraft had sufficient runway remaining for safe deceleration. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, suggesting that the aircraft's brakes were applied effectively to bring it to a stop.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score of 97.5%. However, there were some minor deviations from the target parameters, including a slightly fast touchdown speed and a misaligned runway touchdown position.
