Next time

Arrival

Keep the back pressure coming once the flare is established, holding the attitude instead of letting the nose drop.

What happened: Sink came back after the flare had arrested it, and that pattern usually carries the touchdown long - here it landed at 764 m against the 457 m aim point.

Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a steady, shallow rate through the flare with no renewed sink before touchdown

See Arrival LandingArrival Touchdown

A small uncorrected heading error at 40 knots becomes a metre of offset per second by 100 knots, noticed only at rotation, producing a crabbed liftoff. Root cause is nearly always eyes on the tape instead of the far end of the runway. Small heading changes displace a distant point visibly long before the nearby centreline stripes look wrong.

Flight narrative

The Airbus A320 taxied from the parking area to runway 01 at Amílcar Cabral International Airport, a movement that lasted 53 minutes and covered 9 nm.

During the departure roll on runway 01, the aircraft accelerated to a liftoff speed of 166 kt and departed after a ground run of 2,198 m, representing 73 % of the runway length. Ambient temperature was 31 °C with a wind from 69° at 13 kt, including a 12 kt crosswind component and a 4 kt headwind.

The climb commenced overhead Espargos, climbing from 1,123 ft asl to 35,009 ft asl, an altitude gain of 33,886 ft achieved in 25 minutes while covering 168 nm.

Level cruise began at latitude 19.1690537 and longitude -21.4547699 and continued for 187 minutes, during which the aircraft flew 1,519 nm.

Descent started 2 miles east of Villavieja de Yeltes, descending from 34,519 ft asl to 11,662 ft asl, a loss of 22,857 ft over 17 minutes and a distance of 104 nm.

A second cruise segment was initiated 2 miles south east of Valverde del Majano, lasting 5 minutes and covering 23 nm.

The next descent began 3 miles north west of Garganta de los Montes, reducing altitude from 11,083 ft asl to 3,179 ft asl, a decrease of 7,904 ft in 8 minutes across 25 nm.

Final approach to runway 18L at Adolfo Suárez Madrid-Barajas Airport was conducted from the north on a heading of 180.0°, with the aircraft at 4 nm and 1,220 ft agl.

The aircraft touched down on runway 18L, whose length is 3,015 m, with a threshold speed of 139 kt and a touchdown speed of 128 kt. The touchdown point was 351 m beyond the touchdown zone, the vertical speed at touchdown was minus 201 fpm, and the lateral deviation from the centreline was 6.3 m. Local weather reported a temperature of 38 °C, wind from 170° at 8 kt, a 1 kt crosswind and an 8 kt headwind. Total landing distance recorded was 1,484 m, representing 49 % of the runway.

Runway rollout alignment was very good, and the aircraft decelerated within the remaining runway length after touchdown.

After landing, the Airbus A320 taxied from the runway to the parking area in 4 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.

Overall, the flight covered a total distance of 1,853 nm, required 251 minutes of flight time, and consumed -5,453 kg of fuel.

Landing Summary

The Airbus A320 completed the final approach to runway 18L at LEMD Adolfo Suárez Madrid-Barajas Airport from the north on a heading of 180.0° at 4 nm and 1,220 ft agl. The approach was assessed as stabilised at the 1,000 ft gate, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope and centreline all within limits; temperature was 38 °C, wind 8 kt from 170°, with a 1 kt crosswind component and an 8 kt headwind.

At threshold the height was good and the threshold speed was good at 139 kt, indicating an appropriate flare initiation.

Touchdown occurred 351 m beyond the touchdown zone with a speed of 128 kt that was good; the vertical rate was fair at minus 201 fpm and the touchdown point was slightly misaligned by 6.3 m from the centreline.

The aircraft rolled out over a total landing distance of 1,484 m, representing 49 % of the 3,015 m runway, and runway rollout alignment was very good.

Minor refinements should focus on tightening centreline alignment to reduce the 6.3 m offset and moderating the sink rate to achieve a more neutral vertical profile on touchdown.

Flare
98.57 %
The flare tracked the target profile closely. The aircraft floated down the runway before touching. Touchdown was 764 m past the threshold. Threshold speed was not the cause here - hold the aim point on the approach and let the aircraft settle rather than holding it off, and the touchdown comes back to the numbers.
