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.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
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 1,546 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,546 m of the 3,395 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 419 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 10 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, an Airbus A320, then departed from runway 09 at LEZL Sevilla Airport in Andalusia, Spain. The takeoff distance was 1,493 meters, which accounted for 45% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 155 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 10 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 6 knots at a direction of 40 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 5 knots and a headwind of 4 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile east of LEZL Sevilla Airport and rising from an altitude of 1,145 feet above sea level to 35,207 feet above sea level, an increase of 34,063 feet in 20 minutes and covering a distance of 125 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 73 miles west of Asilah in Tanger-Tetouan-Al Hoceima, Morocco. This phase lasted for 72 minutes and covered a distance of 527 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 93 miles northwest of La Santa in the Canary Islands, Spain. The descent from 35,020 feet above sea level to 7,287 feet above sea level, a decrease of 27,733 feet in 16 minutes and covering a distance of 93 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 4 miles northeast of Tegueste in the Canary Islands, Spain. This phase lasted for only 2 minutes and covered a distance of 9 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 6 miles north of Tacoronte in the Canary Islands, Spain. The descent from 7,081 feet above sea level to 3,001 feet above sea level, a decrease of 4,080 feet in 7 minutes and covering a distance of 5 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 12 at GCXO Tenerife Norte-Ciudad de La Laguna Airport was made from the west, with a heading of 111.0 degrees at an altitude of 3 nautical miles and 956 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 12 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 422 meters, which was 43% of the runway length. The touchdown speed was 132 knots, and the touchdown rate was firm at -305 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 17 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 10 knots at a direction of 150 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 6 knots and a headwind of 8 knots. The total landing distance was 1,470 meters, and the runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 4 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 766 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 131 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 5,005 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at Tenerife Norte-Ciudad de La Laguna Airport, navigating a final approach to runway 12 from the west. The aircraft's heading was 111.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 956 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot's control and navigation skills were evident in the aircraft's precise approach, ultimately resulting in a smooth touchdown.
Upon landing, the aircraft demonstrated a good threshold height, indicating that the pilot had effectively managed the aircraft's descent and maintained a safe distance from the runway threshold. The threshold speed of 138 knots was also within the acceptable range, signifying that the pilot had maintained control and adhered to standard operating procedures. The touchdown distance of 422 meters was also satisfactory, indicating that the pilot had successfully managed the aircraft's descent and maintained a safe distance from the runway.
The touchdown speed of 132 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -305 feet per minute (fpm) was firm but not excessive, indicating that the pilot had maintained control and avoided any potential issues with the aircraft's landing gear. 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 favorable, with a temperature of 17°C and a wind speed of 10 knots at 150°. The crosswind component was 6 knots, while the headwind component was 8 knots, which was relatively minor and did not pose a significant challenge to the pilot. The total landing distance of 1,470 meters was 43% of the runway length, indicating that the pilot had successfully managed the aircraft's descent and maintained a safe distance from the runway.
The runway rollout alignment was very good, demonstrating the pilot's skill and attention to detail in maintaining control of the aircraft during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was a success, with the pilot demonstrating excellent control and navigation skills throughout the approach and landing phases.
