Work on the flare
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.

One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,717 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,717 m of the 3,501 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 415 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft, an Airbus A319, taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport (KMSY). This process took 5 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 11, with the aircraft lifting off after a takeoff distance of 1,835 meters, which was 62% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 159 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 32 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 11 knots at 139 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 6 knots and a headwind of 9 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead Kenner, Louisiana, and ascending from an altitude of 1,042 feet above sea level to 36,521 feet above sea level, an increase of 35,479 feet in 20 minutes, covering a distance of 116 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, starting 63 miles south of the Green Hill Compressors Heliport (4LA2) in Leeville, Louisiana. This phase of the flight lasted 47 minutes and covered a distance of 327 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 71 miles north of Rio Lagartos, Mexico, and descending from 36,373 feet above sea level to 4,126 feet above sea level, a decrease of 32,247 feet in 20 minutes, covering a distance of 109 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting 10 miles east of Solferino, Mexico, and lasting only 2 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles. The enroute descent resumed, starting 13 miles east of Solferino, and the aircraft descended from 4,126 feet above sea level to 2,067 feet above sea level, a decrease of 2,059 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 10 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting 12 miles northeast of Leona Vicario, Mexico, and lasting 3 minutes, covering a distance of 8 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 12R at Cancun International Airport (MMUN) was made from the northwest, heading 124.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,279 feet above ground level. The landing took place on the runway, which had a length of 3,501 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 129 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 416 meters, and the touchdown speed was 117 knots, which was also good. However, the touchdown rate was fair at -232 feet per minute.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 30 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 10 knots at 120 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 10 knots. The total landing distance was 1,631 meters, which was 47% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect.
The aircraft then taxied to the parking area from the runway, taking 2 minutes and covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 585 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 109 minutes. The aircraft used 4,215 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A319 successfully landed at MMUN Aeropuerto Internacional de Cancún, achieving a score of 99.1%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north-west, heading 124.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,279 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with precision, setting the stage for a smooth touchdown.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on runway 12R, which has a length of 3,501 meters. The threshold height was satisfactory, and the threshold speed of 129 knots was also within acceptable limits. The touchdown distance of 416 meters was well within the expected range, indicating a controlled descent. The touchdown speed of 117 knots was also good, suggesting that the aircraft was properly configured for landing.
However, the touchdown rate of -232 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair, indicating that the aircraft may have experienced a slightly higher-than-desired rate of descent. Nevertheless, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's skill and attention to detail.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 30°C and a wind speed of 10 knots from a direction of 120°. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 10 knots, which the pilot effectively managed during the landing. The total landing distance of 1,631 meters was 47% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll.
Finally, the runway rollout alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the critical phase of landing. Overall, the landing was a success, with the aircraft touching down safely and the pilot executing a smooth rollout.
