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 8.2 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Hold the aim point and wait for the speed to bleed before raising the nose, starting the flare within the normal band instead of 52 ft.
What happened: The flare began at 52 ft, 6.6 ft earlier than the normal band.
Watch for: Radio altimeter: start the flare within the normal flare band
See Arrival Landing
Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without 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 1,736 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,736 m of the 2,797 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 718 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 9 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The Airbus A320 then departed from runway 05L at Benito Juárez International Airport, with a takeoff distance of 1,853 meters, which was 63% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 156 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 24 degrees Celsius and winds of 9 knots at a direction of 27 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 5 knots and a headwind of 8 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile northeast of the airport and reaching an altitude of 38,584 feet above sea level, an increase of 30,237 feet in 21 minutes, covering a distance of 131 nautical miles.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, starting 5 miles southwest of Nautla, Mexico, and lasting 74 minutes, covering a distance of 510 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 15 miles northeast of Felipe Carrillo Puerto, Mexico, and descending from 37,805 feet to 3,103 feet above sea level, a decrease of 34,702 feet in 21 minutes, covering a distance of 91 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting 7 miles northeast of Leona Vicario, Mexico, and lasting 6 minutes, covering a distance of 8 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 8 miles northwest of Cancun International Airport, and descending from 2,688 feet to 1,335 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,353 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 12L at Cancun International Airport was made from the northwest, heading 124.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,307 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown point 305 meters beyond the touchdown zone, a touchdown speed of 125 knots, and a smooth touchdown rate of -104 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 8.7 meters.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 31 degrees Celsius and winds of 8 knots at a direction of 110 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 8 knots. The total landing distance was 1,658 meters, which was 59% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned from the centerline by 9.0 meters.
The aircraft then taxied to the parking area, a process that took 10 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 752 nautical miles, taking a total of 141 minutes, and the aircraft used 5,360 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at MMUN Aeropuerto Internacional de Cancún, achieving a score of 92.3%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north-west, heading 124.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,307 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with good control, and the aircraft landed smoothly on runway 12L, which has a length of 2,797 meters.
The threshold height was satisfactory, and the threshold speed was maintained at 134 knots, indicating a well-executed approach. The touchdown point was 305 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is slightly off-center but not excessively so. The touchdown speed of 125 knots was also within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -104 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth, indicating a controlled descent.
However, there were some minor issues with the landing. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 8.7 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the approach or a minor error in navigation. Additionally, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 9.0 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight overcorrection or a minor issue with the aircraft's directional control.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 31°C and a wind speed of 8 knots at 110°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, and the headwind component was 8 knots, which helped to stabilize the aircraft during the approach and landing.
Overall, the landing was successful, and the aircraft came to a stop within 1,658 meters, which is 59% of the runway length. While there were some minor issues with the alignment, the landing was generally smooth and controlled, and the score of 92.3% reflects a high level of proficiency.
