Flight Score
Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.
What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 7.8 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Hold the aim point and wait for the speed to bleed before raising the nose, starting the flare within the normal band instead of 62 ft.
What happened: The flare began at 62 ft, 17 ft earlier than the normal band.
Watch for: Radio altimeter: start the flare within the normal flare band
See Arrival Landing
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.

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 2,587 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 427 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 12 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, an Airbus A320, then departed from runway 14L at LEMD Adolfo Suárez Madrid–Barajas Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,782 meters, which accounted for 59% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 153 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 17 °C, a wind speed of 22 knots at 220°, with a crosswind of 21 knots and a headwind of 5 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of the airport, it began its enroute climb, which started 1 mile east of LEMD Adolfo Suárez Madrid–Barajas Airport. The climb took 16 minutes and covered a distance of 113 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 2,872 feet above sea level to 31,011 feet above sea level, an increase of 28,139 feet. Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 1 mile northeast of Aliaguilla, Spain, and lasted for 12 minutes, covering a distance of 107 nautical miles.
The enroute descent phase began 32 miles northwest of Sant Antoni de Portmany, Spain, and took 22 minutes to complete, covering a distance of 127 nautical miles. During this phase, the aircraft descended from an altitude of 30,561 feet above sea level to 1,335 feet above sea level, a decrease of 29,226 feet. The final approach to runway 24L at LEPA Palma de Mallorca Airport was made from the northeast, with a heading of 239.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,310 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 24L at LEPA Palma de Mallorca Airport was successful, with a touchdown distance of 428 meters, which was good. The touchdown speed was slightly above the target at 144 knots, and the touchdown rate was firm at -325 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 21 °C, a wind speed of 14 knots at 270°, with a crosswind of 7 knots and a headwind of 12 knots.
Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking, which took 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 357 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 67 minutes. The aircraft used 2,522 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed on runway 24L at LEPA Palma de Mallorca Airport, achieving a high score of 98.2%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north east, heading 239.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,310 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot's final approach was well-executed, with a good threshold height and a slightly above-target threshold speed of 144 knots.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's performance was satisfactory, with a touchdown distance of 428 meters, which is within the acceptable range. However, the touchdown speed of 141 knots was slightly faster than the target speed, indicating that the pilot may have needed to apply more braking force upon touchdown. The touchdown rate of -325 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, suggesting that the aircraft's wheels made contact with the runway with a moderate amount of force.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 21°C and a wind speed of 14 knots from 270°. The crosswind component was 7 knots, while the headwind component was 12 knots. These conditions did not appear to significantly impact the aircraft's landing performance.
The total landing distance of 1,447 meters was 56% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft was able to stop within a reasonable distance. The runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft coming to a stop in a safe and controlled manner.
