Departure
Ease the nose up sooner to lift off at 151 kt instead of letting speed build on the ground.
What happened: The aircraft lifted off at 168 kt, 17 kt above the target liftoff speed.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 151 kt at liftoff
See Departure Roll
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.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,794 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 544 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
This Airbus A321 took off from runway 06 at ELLX Luxembourg-Findel International Airport, with a takeoff distance of 1,458 meters or 37% of the runway length. It reached a liftoff speed of 168 knots during its departure roll. The aircraft experienced local weather conditions with a temperature of 11 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 15 knots, at an angle of 49 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 14 knots.
Following its departure, the aircraft began its initial climb, which started overhead Senningen, in Luxembourg. From a starting altitude of 2,241 feet above sea level, it climbed to 36,500 feet above sea level, an increase of 34,259 feet in just 21 minutes, covering a total of 132 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise phase began over Saint-Maurice-Colombier in France, lasting for 69 minutes, during which the aircraft covered 501 nautical miles.
As the flight progressed, the enroute descent phase started 2 miles west of Algaida in the Comunitat Autonoma de les Illes Balears, Spain. The aircraft descended from 37,306 feet above sea level to 3,376 feet above sea level, a decrease of 33,930 feet in just 16 minutes, covering 92 nautical miles. Following this descent, the aircraft entered another enroute level cruise phase, which started 10 miles west of La Savina, lasting for 5 minutes and covering 9 nautical miles.
After completing the cruise phase, the aircraft began its final approach to runway 06 at LEIB Ibiza Airport, coming in from the southwest at a heading of 62.0 degrees. At 4 nautical miles from the runway threshold, it was at an altitude of 1,276 feet above ground level. Upon landing, the aircraft touched down 124 meters beyond the touchdown zone, at a speed of 126 knots. This represented a slightly faster speed than target, but the touchdown rate was smooth at -130 feet per minute.
Upon reviewing the landing performance, it was observed that the threshold height was above target, and the threshold speed was slightly above target at 135 knots. The runway touchdown alignment, however, was very good. Local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 25 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 8 knots, with a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 7 knots.
The total landing distance covered by the aircraft was 1,095 meters or 39% of the runway length. Upon completing the landing, the aircraft experienced a slightly misaligned runway rollout, shifting 14.5 meters off the centerline. Finally, it took the aircraft only 2 minutes to taxi to the parking area, covering less than 1 nautical mile.
Throughout the flight, the aircraft used a total of 5,640 kilograms of fuel, and it covered a total distance of 743 nautical miles, lasting 122 minutes.
The Airbus A321 aircraft has successfully landed at Ibiza Airport, but with some notable deviations from the ideal landing scenario.
As the aircraft approached the runway from the southwest, at an altitude of 1,276 feet above ground level (agl) and a distance of approximately 4 nautical miles away from the threshold, it headed directly towards the runway 06 threshold, which was at an angle of 62.0 degrees. The aircraft successfully landed on the runway, but with some discrepancies in terms of speed and height during the final approach.
One notable observation was that the threshold height at an altitude of 62 ft agl was above target, indicating that the aircraft touched down slightly higher than it should have. Additionally, the aircraft's touchdown speed at 126 knots was a little fast, indicating that the pilot could have throttled back a bit further to achieve a smoother touchdown.
The total landing distance of 1,095 meters was within an acceptable range, taking up only 39% of the available runway length. This suggests that despite some initial deviations, the pilot was able to bring the aircraft under control in time to manage the landing safely.
Another observation was that the runway rollout alignment was slightly off centerline, with the aircraft deviating from the centerline by 14.5 meters. This suggests that the pilot may have needed a bit more time to bring the aircraft back into alignment.
Looking at the local weather conditions, the temperature was at 25 °C and there was a gentle breeze blowing at 8 kilometers per hour at an angle of 90 degrees to the runway, resulting in a negligible crosswind component and a positive headwind of 7 kilometers per hour. These conditions were relatively favorable for a smooth landing, which adds to the overall efficiency of the aircraft.
In conclusion, the aircraft successfully landed with an overall landing score of 89.0%. While there were some deviations from the ideal scenario, the pilot's expertise and ability to compensate for these discrepancies ultimately resulted in a safe and successful landing.
