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 1,524 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 503 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Airbus A320 taxiing from the parking area to the runway at LPPT Humberto Delgado Airport, also known as Lisbon Portela Airport. This process took 7 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft then departed from runway 20, with a takeoff distance of 1,254 meters, which is 40% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 154 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 18 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 4 knots at 210 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 4 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead Alvalade in the Distrito de Lisboa, Portugal. During this climb, the aircraft ascended from 1,317 feet above sea level to 35,638 feet above sea level, an increase of 34,321 feet, in 21 minutes and covering a distance of 130 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 2 miles south of Acehuche in Extremadura, Spain, and lasted for 11 minutes, covering a distance of 95 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute climb, this time starting 2 miles south east of Burgohondo in Castilla y Leon, Spain. During this climb, the aircraft ascended from 36,138 feet above sea level to 37,136 feet above sea level, an increase of 999 feet, in 2 minutes and covering a distance of 17 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise then started 1 mile north west of Pelayos de la Presa in the Comunidad de Madrid, Spain, and lasted for 22 minutes, covering a distance of 172 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting overhead Yatova in the Comunitat Valenciana, Spain. During this descent, the aircraft descended from 37,244 feet above sea level to 1,303 feet above sea level, a decrease of 35,941 feet, in 23 minutes and covering a distance of 103 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 06 at LEIB Ibiza Airport was made from the south west, with a heading of 62.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,275 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 06, which has a length of 2,794 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was well above the target at 150 knots. The touchdown point was 87 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 142 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was firm at -378 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.9 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 13 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 2 knots at 110 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 1 knot. The total landing distance was 1,240 meters, which is 44% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area from the runway, taking 2 minutes and covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 526 nautical miles, and the flight took 91 minutes. The aircraft used 3,715 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at LEIB Ibiza Airport, achieving a score of 95.1%. The aircraft approached the runway from the southwest, heading 62.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,275 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was made to runway 06, which has a length of 2,794 meters.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down 87 meters beyond the touchdown zone, indicating a slight overrun. The touchdown speed of 142 knots was slightly above the target speed, which may have contributed to the overrun. The touchdown rate was firm, at -378 feet per minute (fpm), suggesting a controlled descent.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 4.9 meters, which may have been due to factors such as wind or pilot error. However, the runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain its direction and speed after touchdown.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 13°C and a wind speed of 2 knots from 110°. The crosswind component was minimal, at 1 knot, while the headwind component was also 1 knot. These conditions likely contributed to the successful landing, as they did not pose a significant challenge to the aircraft's stability or control.
Overall, the landing was successful, but there were some minor issues with the touchdown speed and runway alignment. However, the aircraft was able to maintain its stability and control throughout the landing, and the rollout alignment was very good.
