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 7.7 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Fly the flare as one continuous check of the sink rate from 35 ft, holding back pressure steadily rather than adjusting pitch piecemeal.
What happened: The flare drifted away from its intended profile rather than tracking it smoothly from 35 ft down to touchdown.
Watch for: Watch radio altitude and VSI through the flare, aiming to arrest the sink smoothly from 35 ft to touchdown.
See Arrival Landing
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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,442 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 254 m touchdown sits inside 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 2 nautical miles. The Airbus A320 then departed from runway 07 at the Monseñor Óscar Arnulfo Romero International Airport, with a takeoff distance of 1,951 meters, which accounted for 61% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 160 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions of a temperature of 29 degrees Celsius and winds of 5 knots at 45 degrees. The crosswind was 2 knots, while the headwind was 5 knots. The enroute climb started shortly after departure, 1 mile east of the airport, and continued for 11 minutes, covering a distance of 62 nautical miles. The aircraft climbed from an altitude of 1,128 feet above sea level to 25,927 feet above sea level, an increase of 24,799 feet.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 13 minutes and covered a distance of 38 nautical miles. This phase began 27 miles south of Intipuca, in the Departamento de La Union, El Salvador. The aircraft then started its descent, which began 20 miles west of MNX1 La Mona, in the Departamento de Chinandega, Nicaragua. The descent took 17 minutes, covering a distance of 82 nautical miles, and brought the aircraft down from an altitude of 25,949 feet above sea level to 1,515 feet above sea level.
The final approach to runway 10 at the Augusto C. Sandino (Managua) International Airport was made from the west, with the aircraft heading 96.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,312 feet above ground level and 4 nautical miles from the runway. However, the aircraft was forced to execute a go-around at an altitude of 18 feet above ground level. The aircraft then landed on runway 10, which had a length of 2,442 meters. The threshold height was good, but the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 142 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 254 meters, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 135 knots. The touchdown rate was fair at -266 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned by 24.4 meters from the centreline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 26 degrees Celsius and winds of 9 knots at 100 degrees. The crosswind was 1 knot, while the headwind was 9 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,100 meters, which accounted for 45% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was misaligned by 28.5 meters from the centreline. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area, a process that took 4 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 198 nautical miles, and the flight used 2,667 kilograms of fuel.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at MNMG Augusto C. Sandino (Managua) International Airport, with a score of 90.0%. The aircraft approached the runway from the west, heading 96.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,312 feet above ground level (agl). The landing was executed on runway 10, which has a length of 2,442 meters.
The threshold height was reported as good, but the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 139 knots. This indicates that the aircraft may have been slightly faster than desired during the final approach. The touchdown distance was good at 254 meters, but the touchdown speed of 135 knots was a little fast. The touchdown rate of -266 feet per minute (fpm) was fair, suggesting that the aircraft may have experienced a moderate rate of descent during the landing.
One notable issue with the landing was the significant misalignment of the runway touchdown position, which was 24.4 meters off the centerline. This suggests that the aircraft may have deviated from the intended flight path during the final approach. Additionally, the runway rollout alignment was also misaligned by 28.5 meters from the centerline, indicating that the aircraft may have experienced some difficulty maintaining a straight course during the rollout.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 26°C and a wind speed of 9 knots at 100°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 9 knots. Overall, the landing was successful, but there were some areas for improvement, particularly in terms of maintaining a straight course during the final approach and rollout.
