Monitor your speed
Below 10,000 ft you are typically limited to 250 kt indicated (a US rule that much of the world mirrors in some form, though not universally). This forces a deceleration around 10,000 ft whether the profile wants one or not, so plan for it rather than discovering 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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,310 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 397 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.

Flight Report:
The flight in the Airbus A320 started with a 9-minute taxi from the parking area to the runway at LECO A Coruña Airport. The departure roll on runway 21 covered 957 meters, which was 44% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 144 knots with a local weather report indicating a temperature of 23°C and wind at 42 knots from 189°, creating crosswinds of 15 knots and headwinds of 39 knots.
The enroute climb began overhead Culleredo in Galicia, Spain. The climb took the aircraft from 1,263 feet above sea level to 25,993 feet, covering a distance of 64 nautical miles in 11 minutes. The climb was followed by a level cruise lasting 9 minutes, covering 74 nautical miles and starting 4 miles south of Campos y Salave in the Principality of Asturias, Spain.
The enroute descent started 3 miles north of Caravia in the Principality of Asturias, reducing altitude from 25,857 feet to 25,080 feet over 18 nautical miles in 2 minutes. Another short level cruise followed, lasting 2 minutes and covering 18 nautical miles starting 4 miles north of Llanes.
A significant descent followed, starting 5 miles north of Comillas in Cantabria, taking the aircraft from 25,117 feet to 3,059 feet over 13 minutes, covering 18 nautical miles. The flight then entered another short level cruise phase lasting 2 minutes over 6 nautical miles overhead Santa Cruz de Bezana in Cantabria.
The final descent started overhead Suances in Cantabria, taking the aircraft from 2,952 feet to 1,856 feet over 5 nautical miles in 3 minutes. The flight landed on runway 11 at LEXJ Seve Ballesteros-Santander Airport, with a threshold height of 41 feet above ground level and a landing speed of 146 knots. The touchdown occurred 397 meters from the threshold at a speed of 140 knots and a vertical speed of -245 ft/min. The total landing distance covered was 1,108 meters, which was 48% of the runway length. The local weather at the time of landing was 24°C with wind at 20 knots from 170°, resulting in crosswinds of 17 knots and headwinds of 10 knots.
After landing, a 6-minute taxi brought the aircraft from the runway to the parking area, covering less than 1 nautical mile. Overall, the flight covered a distance of 211 nautical miles over 57 minutes and consumed 2,423 kg of fuel.
First of all, congratulations on achieving a landing score of 98.4%! This is a very impressive result and shows a high level of skill and proficiency in handling the aircraft during the various phases of landing.
Let's break down the analysis of your landing:
During the Approach Phase, you demonstrated excellent glideslope alignment, indicating a precise descent path towards the runway. While your speed was slightly above the target, this can be easily adjusted with practice to ensure a smoother approach in future landings.
Moving on to the Landing Phase, you exhibited good threshold height awareness and executed a perfect landing flare. This is crucial in ensuring a smooth touchdown and minimizing the impact on the landing gear.
In the Touchdown Phase, while the touchdown rate was fair and the speed was slightly above target, you managed to touch down within the touchdown zone and at a very good runway touchdown position. This shows good control and judgment in managing the aircraft's descent onto the runway. Additionally, handling a 17 knot crosswind during landing is quite challenging, and you did well to land safely under these conditions.
Finally, in the Rollout Phase, you maintained a runway alignment that was 5.5 meters from the centerline. While ideally, this alignment should be closer to the centerline, your ability to keep the aircraft on the runway and in control during the rollout is commendable.
Overall, your performance in each phase of the landing process was strong and indicates a high level of proficiency in handling the aircraft. With continued practice and refinement of your skills, you can further improve on your already impressive landing score. Keep up the great work and continue to strive for excellence in your aviation endeavors!
