Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.
What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 9.2 m 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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,941 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,941 m of the 3,198 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 657 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 8 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The Airbus A320 then departed from runway 24L at Los Angeles International Airport, with a takeoff distance of 2,290 meters, which accounted for 79% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 172 knots.
As the flight progressed, the aircraft climbed from an altitude of 1,097 feet above sea level to 34,835 feet, an increase of 33,738 feet, in 26 minutes and covering a distance of 170 nautical miles. This enroute climb started 2 miles south of Marina del Rey in California, United States. Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which began 2 miles west of Maran Airport in Mexicali, Mexico. This cruise phase lasted for 216 minutes and covered a distance of 1,741 nautical miles.
As the flight continued, the aircraft began its descent from an altitude of 36,069 feet above sea level to 1,154 feet, a decrease of 34,915 feet, in 21 minutes and covering a distance of 103 nautical miles. This descent started 2 miles northeast of Villa Canales in Guatemala. The final approach to runway 07 at Monseñor Óscar Arnulfo Romero International Airport was made from the southwest, with a heading of 70.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,061 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 07 at Monseñor Óscar Arnulfo Romero International Airport was successful, with a touchdown point located 244 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 133 knots, which was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate was perfect at -45 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.0 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 27 degrees Celsius, a wind speed of 5 knots from 241 degrees, with a crosswind of 1 knot and a tailwind of 5 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,862 meters, which accounted for 58% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. After landing, the aircraft taxiied to the parking area, a process that took 5 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 2,023 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 277 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 11,655 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at MSLP Monseñor Óscar Arnulfo Romero International Airport, achieving a high score of 95.9%. The aircraft approached the runway from the southwest, heading 70.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,061 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with precision, and the aircraft landed smoothly on runway 07, which has a length of 3,198 meters.
The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was maintained at 142 knots, indicating a well-executed approach. The touchdown point was 244 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is slightly outside the ideal landing area. However, the touchdown speed of 133 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -45 feet per minute (fpm) was perfect, indicating a controlled descent.
The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 27°C and a wind speed of 5 knots from 241°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, and the tailwind component was 5 knots, which did not significantly impact the landing. The total landing distance was 1,862 meters, which is 58% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating a well-executed approach and landing.
The runway rollout alignment was very good, with the aircraft maintaining a straight path after touchdown. Overall, the landing was executed with precision and control, resulting in a high score of 95.9%.
