Departure
Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.
What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 5°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
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.
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 1,640 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,640 m of the 2,914 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 669 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight on Vueling EC-MGZ from LIRN Naples International Airport to LEBL Josep Tarradellas Barcelona-El Prat Airport was smooth and efficient.
The taxi from the parking to the runway in Naples took 10 minutes, covering 2 nm. The departure roll on runway 24 was successful, with a takeoff distance of 1,583 m and a liftoff speed of 147 kt. The local weather at departure was 23 °C, with a light wind.
The enroute climb started shortly after departure and reached a maximum altitude of 37,530 ft, covering 98 nm in 19 minutes. The level cruise was stable, covering 306 nm in 43 minutes. The subsequent descent phases were steady and controlled, covering distances of 66 nm, 38 nm, and 4 nm respectively.
The final approach to runway 06L at LEBL was well executed, with a good touchdown speed of 124 kt and a fair touchdown rate of -215 fpm. The touchdown alignment was very good, though the touchdown point was slightly beyond the designated zone. The total landing distance was 1,552 m, utilizing 53% of the runway length.
Overall, the flight covered a total distance of 620 nm over 125 minutes, using 4,274 kg of fuel. The landing was successful, and the taxi back to the parking at LEBL took 8 minutes, covering 1 nm.
First and foremost, congratulations on achieving a stellar aircraft landing score of 96.8%! This is a commendable accomplishment that reflects your skill and precision in navigating through the various phases of the landing process.
Let's delve into the analysis of each phase to highlight the strengths and areas for improvement.
Starting with the Approach Phase, you demonstrated excellent glideslope alignment which is crucial for a smooth descent towards the runway. Additionally, maintaining a threshold speed of 135 kt shows a good control of the aircraft during approach. These factors contribute significantly to a safe and controlled landing.
Moving on to the Landing Phase, it's great to see that you had a good threshold height which indicates a well-coordinated approach towards the runway. However, there is room for improvement in the landing flare, as it was rated as fair. Ensuring a more consistent and smooth landing flare can further enhance the overall landing performance.
In the Touchdown Phase, your touchdown rate of -215 ft/m and touchdown speed of 124 kt are both respectable. It's worth noting that the touchdown point being 245 m beyond the touchdown zone could be an area to focus on for future landings. Ensuring that the touchdown point is well within the designated zone is essential for safe and efficient landings.
Lastly, the runway touchdown alignment being rated as very good is a testament to your ability to maintain precision during the final moments of the landing. Consistent alignment with the runway not only ensures a safe touchdown but also reflects a high level of proficiency in handling the aircraft.
In conclusion, while your overall landing score is impressive, there are certain areas such as the landing flare and touchdown point that could be refined to further elevate your performance. Keep up the good work and continue to practice and improve your skills to achieve even greater success in your future landings. Your dedication and attention to detail will undoubtedly lead to continued excellence in aviation.
