MY FS FLIGHTS
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 13 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Carry more power on approach to hold 139 kt at the threshold instead of letting speed decay into the flare.
What happened: The flare arrested the sink at 25 ft while already below the speed target, and the aircraft settled as the remaining energy ran out, usually carrying a firm touchdown with it at 436 fpm.
Watch for: Watch airspeed on short final against 139 kt, keeping it there through the flare.
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 1,524 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 322 m touchdown sits inside 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 7 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The Airbus A320 then departed from runway 02 at MGGT La Aurora Airport in Guatemala City, with a takeoff distance of 1,912 meters, which accounted for 69% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 167 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 18°C, a wind speed of 12 knots at 30°, resulting in a 3-knot crosswind and a 12-knot headwind.
As the aircraft climbed out of the airport, it began its enroute climb 1 mile north of MGGT La Aurora Airport, rising from an altitude of 5,981 feet above sea level to 17,292 feet above sea level, an increase of 11,310 feet in just 6 minutes, covering a distance of 21 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise phase started 2 miles east of Casillas, Guatemala, and lasted for 5 minutes, covering 30 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began its enroute descent 5 miles southeast of Comapa, Guatemala, descending from 17,200 feet above sea level to 2,658 feet above sea level, a decrease of 14,542 feet in 14 minutes, covering a distance of 58 nautical miles. Another enroute level cruise phase started 7 miles south of MSRO Las Cachas Airport Rosario de Mora, El Salvador, and lasted for 3 minutes, covering 4 nautical miles.
The final descent phase began 4 miles south of MSRO Las Cachas Airport Rosario de Mora, El Salvador, with the aircraft descending from 2,104 feet above sea level to 1,151 feet above sea level, a decrease of 953 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 07 at MSLP Monseñor Óscar Arnulfo Romero International Airport, flying from the southwest at a heading of 70.0° and at an altitude of 1,059 feet above ground level.
The aircraft landed on runway 07 at MSLP Monseñor Óscar Arnulfo Romero International Airport, which had a length of 3,198 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 136 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 322 meters, but the touchdown speed of 129 knots was slightly faster than desired. The touchdown rate was hard at -432 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.6 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 25°C, a wind speed of 4 knots at 80°, resulting in a 1-knot crosswind and a 4-knot headwind. The total landing distance was 1,020 meters, which accounted for 32% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 9.7 meters from the centerline.
After landing, the aircraft taxiied to the parking area from the runway, a process that took 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 124 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 41 minutes. The aircraft used 1,581 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at MSLP Monseñor Óscar Arnulfo Romero International Airport, with a final approach from the southwest at a heading of 70.0°. The aircraft was at an altitude of 1,059 feet above ground level (agl) and 4 nautical miles from the runway when it began its descent. The landing was executed on runway 07, which has a length of 3,198 meters.
The threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct height as it approached the runway threshold. The threshold speed was also within the acceptable range at 136 knots. However, the touchdown speed of 129 knots was slightly faster than desired, which may have contributed to a harder touchdown rate of -432 feet per minute (fpm).
The touchdown distance of 322 meters was within the acceptable range, but the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 6.6 meters. This misalignment may have been due to the slight crosswind of 1 knot and headwind of 4 knots, which were present during the landing. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 25°C and a wind speed of 4 knots at 80°.
The total landing distance of 1,020 meters was 32% of the runway length, which is within the acceptable range. However, the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned from the centerline by 9.7 meters. Overall, the landing was successful, but there were some minor deviations from the ideal landing parameters.
