Flight Score
Arrival
Track the centreline through touchdown using small rudder corrections against a point at the far end of the runway.
What happened: The aircraft touched down off the centreline at 7.4 m, and drifting off centreline at touchdown usually carries through into the rollout, as it did here with alignment reaching 9.6 m.
Watch for: Watch runway centreline position, keeping deviation inside the limit through touchdown and 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.

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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,561 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,561 m of the 3,003 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 583 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Airbus A321 taxied from the parking area to runway 18L at KAUS Austin Bergstrom International Airport in 5 minutes, covering a distance of 1 nm.
During the departure roll the aircraft used 1,844 m of runway, representing 67 % of the available length, and lifted off at 156 kt; ambient temperature was 26 °C with wind 4 kt from 122°, a 3 kt cross-wind component and a 2 kt head-wind.
Climb commenced 1 mile north of 02XS Seidel Ranch Airport, Texas, where the flight ascended from 1,467 ft asl to 35,309 ft asl, a gain of 33,842 ft achieved in 22 minutes while covering 141 nm.
The first level cruise began 6 miles north of 5TS1 Uno Mas Ranch Airport, Cotulla, Texas, lasting 9 minutes and traversing 69 nm.
Descent phase one started 6 miles south-west of America, Estado de Tamaulipas, Mexico, with the aircraft descending from 34,955 ft asl to 17,639 ft asl, a loss of 17,316 ft in 11 minutes over 69 nm.
A second cruise segment was initiated 16 miles south-east of Ciudad Sabinas Hidalgo, Estado de Nuevo León, Mexico, lasting 5 minutes and covering 30 nm.
The subsequent descent began 12 miles south-west of Melchor Ocampo, Estado de Nuevo León, Mexico, where altitude fell from 17,630 ft asl to 2,547 ft asl, a decrease of 15,083 ft in 14 minutes across 57 nm.
Final approach to runway 11 at MMMY Monterrey International Airport was conducted from the north-west, on a heading of 121.0° at 4 nm and 1,277 ft agl.
Landing on runway 11, which is 3,001 m long, occurred with a threshold speed of 143 kt; touchdown was recorded 162 m beyond the touchdown zone at 136 kt, with a smooth touchdown rate of minus 139 fpm and a lateral deviation of 5.3 m from the centreline. Ambient conditions were 26 °C, wind 10 kt from 110°, a 2 kt cross-wind and a 9 kt head-wind. Total landing distance measured 1,476 m, representing 49 % of the runway.
Runway rollout alignment was noted to be slightly off centreline by 7.9 m.
The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 3 minutes, covering 1 nm.
Overall, the flight covered 374 nm, took 70 minutes, and consumed 3,466 kg of fuel.
The Airbus A321 made its final approach to runway 11 at MMMY Monterrey International Airport from the north-west, tracking a heading of 121.0° at 4 nm and 1,277 ft agl. Local conditions were temperature 26 °C, wind 10 kt from 110°, providing a 2 kt crosswind component and a 9 kt head-wind component.
At threshold the aircraft established a speed of 143 kt, which the data records as good, and the threshold height was also noted as good.
Touchdown occurred 162 m beyond the designated touchdown zone with a speed of 136 kt, described as a little fast. The vertical rate was smooth at minus 139 fpm and the touchdown point was slightly off centreline by 5.3 m.
The aircraft rolled out over a total landing distance of 1,476 m, representing 49 % of the 3,001 m runway, and the rollout alignment was slightly off centreline by 7.9 m.
With a final score of 96.2 %, the landing was strong overall; reducing touchdown speed to the target range and tightening centreline alignment during touchdown and rollout will further improve precision.
