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.
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 11,549 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,716 ft 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 at SKCG Rafael Nuñez International Airport, taking approximately 8 minutes to cover less than 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 19, with the takeoff distance being 4,066 feet, which is 48% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 130 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 90°F and a wind speed of 3 knots from a direction of 240°. The crosswind component was 3 knots, while the headwind component was 2 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile north of Cartagena, Colombia, and rising from an altitude of 1,033 feet above sea level to 36,899 feet above sea level, an increase of 35,867 feet, in 19 minutes and covering a distance of 132 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, starting 2 miles north of Pueblo Nuevo, Colombia, and lasting 4 minutes, during which it covered a distance of 35 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 6 miles northeast of El Bagre, Colombia, and descending from 37,006 feet above sea level to 9,168 feet above sea level, a decrease of 27,839 feet, in 25 minutes and covering a distance of 120 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, starting 2 miles northwest of Abejorral, Colombia, and lasting 12 minutes, during which it covered a distance of 24 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 19 at SKRG Jose Maria Córdova International Airport was made from the north, with the aircraft heading 180.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,330 feet above ground level.
The landing took place on runway 19, which has a length of 11,549 feet. The threshold height at 89 feet above ground level was significantly above the target, but the threshold speed was good at 137 knots. The touchdown point was 300 feet beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 135 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was very heavy at -890 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 72°F and a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 76°. The crosswind component was 4 knots, while the tailwind component was 1 knot. The total landing distance was 3,741 feet, which is 32% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 46 feet from the centerline.
The aircraft then taxied to the parking area from the runway, taking approximately 3 minutes to cover less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 318 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 76 minutes. The aircraft used 6,975 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 aircraft successfully landed at SKRG Jose Maria Córdova International Airport, achieving an overall score of 80.0%. The final approach to runway 19 was initiated from the north, with the aircraft heading 180.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,330 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on runway 19, which has a length of 11,549 feet. However, the threshold height at 89 feet agl was significantly above the target, indicating a slight deviation from the ideal landing configuration. On the other hand, the threshold speed was satisfactory at 137 knots, demonstrating good control and management of the aircraft's descent.
The touchdown point was located 300 feet beyond the touchdown zone, which may indicate a slight overcorrection or a slightly fast approach. The touchdown speed of 135 knots was also a bit faster than the ideal speed, contributing to the slightly heavy touchdown rate of -890 feet per minute (fpm). Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating precise control and alignment of the aircraft during the final stages of the approach.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 72°F and a gentle wind of 4 knots at 76°. The crosswind component was minimal at 4 knots, and the tailwind component was negligible at 1 knot. These conditions likely contributed to the successful landing.
The total landing distance of 3,741 feet was 32% of the runway length, which is within acceptable limits. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 46 feet from the centerline, indicating a slight deviation from the ideal rollout path. Overall, the landing was satisfactory, with some minor deviations from the ideal performance.
