The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 12 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, an Airbus A320, then departed from runway 03R at MPTO Tocumen International Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,504 meters, which accounted for 49% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 157 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 34 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 20 knots at a direction of 10 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 7 knots and a headwind of 19 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, which started overhead Tocumen in Panama. The climb took 23 minutes and covered a distance of 130 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from 1,068 feet above sea level to 38,887 feet above sea level, an increase of 37,818 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted 11 minutes and covered a distance of 79 nautical miles. This phase began 24 miles northeast of Bisira in Panama. The aircraft then started its enroute descent, which began 4 miles northeast of MRAM Amubri Airport in Costa Rica. The descent took 18 minutes and covered a distance of 86 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from 39,148 feet above sea level to 4,362 feet above sea level, a decrease of 34,786 feet.
The final approach to runway 07 at MROC Juan SantamarĂa International Airport was made from the southwest, with a heading of 68.0 degrees at an altitude of 3 nautical miles and 1,359 feet above ground level. However, the aircraft was forced to execute a go-around at an altitude of 1,167 feet above ground level. The aircraft then landed on runway 07, which had a length of 2,519 meters. The threshold height at 61 feet above ground level was above the target, and the threshold speed was well above the target at 159 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 351 meters, but the touchdown speed at 142 knots was a little fast. The touchdown rate was very hard at -529 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 7.1 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 27 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 17 knots at a direction of 90 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 6 knots and a headwind of 16 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,058 meters, which accounted for 42% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took just 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 308 nautical miles, which was covered in 78 minutes, and the aircraft used 3,288 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

The Airbus A320 successfully landed at MROC Juan SantamarĂa International Airport, with a final approach from the southwest. The aircraft was at an altitude of 1,359 feet above ground level (agl) and 3 nautical miles from the runway when it began its descent. The approach was made at a heading of 68.0°, which is slightly off the centerline of the runway.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on runway 07, which has a length of 2,519 meters. However, the threshold height at 61 feet agl was above the target, indicating that the aircraft may have been slightly high on its approach. The threshold speed was also well above the target at 159 knots, suggesting that the aircraft may have been descending too quickly.
Despite these minor issues, the touchdown distance was good at 351 meters, and the touchdown speed of 142 knots was only a little fast. However, the touchdown rate was very hard at -529 feet per minute (fpm), which may have put additional stress on the aircraft's landing gear.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 7.1 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to the crosswind or headwind conditions. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 27°C and a wind speed of 17 knots at 90°. The crosswind component was 6 knots, while the headwind component was 16 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,058 meters, which is 42% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was able to touch down and stop quickly. The runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft during the landing roll.
Overall, the landing was successful, but there were some minor issues with the approach and touchdown. The pilot was able to recover from these issues and bring the aircraft to a safe stop on the runway.
