Improve the rollout
Ground control varies with speed, full authority at walking pace, progressively reducing as groundspeed rises. The aircraft becomes twitchy at any speed, every small pedal input swings the nose, which can encourage large-amplitude leg inputs that no real aircraft would accept.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.

Side view — the last 5,445 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,445 ft of the 9,523 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,127 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft, an Airbus A300, taxiing from the parking area to the runway at MMGL Guadalajara International Airport. This process took 7 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 29, and the takeoff distance was 8,915 feet, which accounted for 68% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 175 knots.
As the aircraft climbed, it started its enroute climb 3 miles west of MMGL Guadalajara International Airport. The climb took place from an altitude of 6,049 feet above sea level to 33,260 feet above sea level, an increase of 27,212 feet in 22 minutes, covering a distance of 127 nautical miles. The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 52 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind speed of 0 knots.
The enroute level cruise started 6 miles northeast of La Huacana, Mexico, and lasted for 286 minutes, covering a distance of 2,252 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent 14 miles southeast of Huarmey, Peru, and descended from an altitude of 33,008 feet above sea level to 1,319 feet above sea level, a decrease of 31,688 feet in 20 minutes, covering a distance of 113 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 16L at SPJC Jorge Chavez International Airport took place from the northwest, heading 154.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,237 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 16L was successful, with a runway length of 9,523 feet. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 136 knots. The touchdown distance was 1,149 feet, and the touchdown speed was 130 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was fair at -225 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 35 feet from the centerline, and the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 33 feet from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 70 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind speed of 4 knots. The crosswind was 3 knots, and the headwind was 3 knots.
The total landing distance was 5,198 feet, which accounted for 55% of the runway. The taxiing to the parking area from the runway took 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 2,503 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 340 minutes. The aircraft used 63,519 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A300 successfully landed at SPJC Jorge Chavez International Airport, achieving a score of 95.8%. The aircraft approached the runway from the northwest, heading 154.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,237 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with good threshold height, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct altitude as it approached the runway.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on runway 16L with a threshold speed of 136 knots, which was considered good. However, the touchdown speed of 130 knots was slightly faster than ideal, and the touchdown rate of -225 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair. Despite this, the touchdown distance of 1,149 feet was within acceptable limits.
The landing distance of 5,198 feet was 55% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. However, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 35 feet from the centreline, indicating that the aircraft did not touch down exactly in the middle of the runway. This misalignment was also reflected in the runway rollout alignment, which was slightly off by 33 feet from the centreline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 70°F and a gentle wind of 4 knots at 199°. The crosswind and headwind components were both 3 knots, which is relatively minimal and should not have significantly impacted the landing. Overall, the landing was considered successful, but there is room for improvement in terms of touchdown speed and alignment.
