Improve the rollout
Ground control varies with speed, full authority at walking pace, progressively reducing as groundspeed rises. The aircraft becomes twitchy at any speed, every small pedal input swings the nose, which can encourage large-amplitude leg inputs that no real aircraft would accept.

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 1,534 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,534 m of the 2,130 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 459 m touchdown sits inside 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 Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport, taking 10 minutes and covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. Departure roll took place on runway 31, with the aircraft lifting off after a takeoff distance of 1,498 meters, which was 47% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 156 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it encountered local weather conditions of 14°C temperature and a wind speed of 10 knots at 280°. The crosswind was 5 knots, while the headwind was 9 knots. The enroute climb started overhead Málaga Airport, where the aircraft ascended from 1,043 feet above sea level to 33,204 feet, an increase of 32,161 feet in 17 minutes, covering a distance of 103 nautical miles.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started overhead La Carolina and lasted for 24 minutes, covering a distance of 176 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting 9 miles northwest of Hiendelaencina Airport, where it descended from 32,624 feet to 11,812 feet, a decrease of 20,812 feet in 11 minutes, covering a distance of 70 nautical miles.
The aircraft continued its descent, starting 1 mile southwest of Villar de Torre, where it descended from 11,822 feet to 3,710 feet, a decrease of 8,111 feet in 7 minutes, covering a distance of 31 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started overhead Amurrio and lasted for 7 minutes, covering a distance of 24 nautical miles.
The final descent phase began 1 mile north of Castro-Urdiales, where the aircraft descended from 3,446 feet to 1,445 feet, a decrease of 2,001 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 10 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 12 at Bilbao Airport, heading 117.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,314 feet above ground level.
The landing took place on runway 12, which was 2,130 meters long. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 134 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 461 meters, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 127 knots. The touchdown rate was good at -183 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 9.6 meters from the centerline.
The total landing distance was 1,452 meters, which was 68% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 11.3 meters from the centerline. Taxiing to the parking area from the runway took 6 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 431 nautical miles, taking 89 minutes, and the aircraft used 3,001 kilograms of fuel.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at Bilbao Airport (LEBB) with a score of 95.5%. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the west, heading 117.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,314 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was made to runway 12, which has a length of 2,130 meters.
The threshold height was good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct height as it approached the runway. The threshold speed of 134 knots was also within the acceptable range, demonstrating that the pilot had control of the aircraft's speed during the approach. The touchdown distance of 461 meters was also good, indicating that the pilot had managed to slow the aircraft down effectively before touching down.
However, the touchdown speed of 127 knots was slightly faster than the recommended speed, which may have been due to the pilot's decision to prioritize a shorter touchdown distance. The touchdown rate of -183 feet per minute (fpm) was good, indicating that the aircraft was able to touch down smoothly and without excessive deceleration.
One area for improvement was the runway touchdown position, which was misaligned by 9.6 meters from the centerline. This may have been due to a slight deviation in the pilot's alignment during the approach. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 9°C, were not particularly challenging, and the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft throughout the approach.
The total landing distance of 1,452 meters was 68% of the runway length, which is within the acceptable range. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 11.3 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to the pilot's continued deviation from the centerline after touchdown. Overall, the landing was successful, but there are areas for improvement in terms of alignment and touchdown speed.
