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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with five checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,914 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 649 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft taxiing from the parking area to the runway at LYTV Tivat Airport, taking 10 minutes and covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 32, with a takeoff distance of 1,579 meters, which accounted for 63% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 153 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it encountered local weather conditions of 11°C temperature and a wind speed of 6 knots at 57°. The crosswind was 5 knots, while the tailwind was 1 knot. The enroute climb started overhead Mrcevac, Tivat, Montenegro, and the aircraft ascended from 1,026 feet above sea level to 34,927 feet above sea level, an increase of 33,901 feet in 20 minutes, covering a distance of 89 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 14 miles south of LDSU Ubli, Dubrovacko-Neretvanska Zupanija, Croatia, and lasted for 75 minutes, covering a distance of 528 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its descent 76 miles northeast of Mao, Comunitat Autonoma de les Illes Balears, Spain, and descended from 34,828 feet above sea level to 24,791 feet above sea level, a decrease of 10,037 feet in 5 minutes, covering a distance of 39 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise resumed 63 miles southeast of Llafranc, Catalunya, Spain, and lasted for 9 minutes, covering a distance of 56 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent 48 miles southeast of la Marina del Prat Vermell, Catalunya, Spain, and descended from 23,984 feet above sea level to 2,917 feet above sea level, a decrease of 21,067 feet in 15 minutes, covering a distance of 65 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started again 4 miles southeast of Coma-ruga, Catalunya, Spain, and lasted for 5 minutes, covering a distance of 15 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent 3 miles east of Sitges, Catalunya, Spain, and descended from 2,908 feet above sea level to 1,297 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,611 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 06L at LEBL Josep Tarradellas Barcelona-El Prat Airport was made from the southwest, heading 65.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,279 feet above ground level. The landing took place on runway 06L, which had a length of 2,914 meters. The threshold height was good, but the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 145 knots.
The touchdown point was 225 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 126 knots, which was good. However, the touchdown rate was hard at -418 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned by 17.2 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 10°C temperature and a wind speed of 23 knots at 30°, with a crosswind of 13 knots and a headwind of 19 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,326 meters, which accounted for 46% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was misaligned by 18.8 meters from the centerline. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area from the runway, taking 8 minutes and covering a distance of 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 807 nautical miles,
The Airbus A320 aircraft successfully landed on runway 06L at LEBL Josep Tarradellas Barcelona-El Prat Airport, achieving an overall score of 83.9%. The final approach was initiated from the southwest, heading 65.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,279 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on the runway, which has a length of 2,914 meters, with a good threshold height.
The threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 145 knots, indicating a slight deviation from the ideal landing conditions. However, the touchdown speed of 126 knots was within the acceptable range, suggesting that the pilot maintained control and managed the descent effectively. The touchdown rate of -418 feet per minute (fpm) was considered hard, which may have contributed to the aircraft's misaligned touchdown position.
The runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned by 17.2 meters from the centerline, indicating that the pilot may have struggled to maintain alignment during the final approach. This misalignment was also reflected in the runway rollout alignment, which was off by 18.8 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 10°C and wind speeds of 23 knots at 30°, may have contributed to the challenges faced by the pilot during the landing.
The total landing distance of 1,326 meters was 46% of the runway length, which is within the acceptable range. However, the misaligned touchdown and rollout positions may have increased the risk of the aircraft deviating from the centerline during the landing roll. Overall, while the landing was successful, there is room for improvement in terms of maintaining alignment and controlling the touchdown rate.
