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.

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 1,198 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,198 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 109 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 31 at Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport, with the Airbus A320 taking off after a distance of 931 meters, which was 29% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 150 knots. At the time of departure, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 18 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 269 degrees, resulting in a negligible crosswind and headwind.
As the aircraft climbed, it started its enroute climb 2 miles north of Alhaurin de la Torre, Andalusia, Spain, and ascended from an altitude of 1,119 feet above sea level to 24,564 feet above sea level, an increase of 23,445 feet in just 10 minutes, covering a distance of 55 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent 22 miles east of the Gibraltar Strait, moving carrier - FrenchCDG, Andalusia, Spain, and descended from 24,267 feet above sea level to 3,200 feet above sea level, a decrease of 21,067 feet in 11 minutes, covering a distance of 67 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase 10 miles south-west of Nador Al Aaroui International Airport, Al Aaroui, Oriental, Morocco, and remained at this altitude for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb phase 10 miles south-west of the same airport, ascending from 3,120 feet above sea level to 4,096 feet above sea level, an increase of 976 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 8 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase 7 miles south-east of Nador Al Aaroui International Airport, Al Aaroui, Oriental, Morocco, and remained at this altitude for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent phase 6 miles west of Zaio, Oriental, Morocco, and descended from 4,062 feet above sea level to 2,420 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,642 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase 5 miles south-east of Taouima Nador Airport, Nador, Oriental, Morocco, and remained at this altitude for 3 minutes, covering a distance of 9 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 33 at Melilla Airport, heading 327.0 degrees at 3 nautical miles and 1,644 feet above ground level.
The aircraft landed on runway 33 at Melilla Airport, which had a length of 1,198 meters. The initial landing was characterized by an excessively high threshold height and a speed that was well above the target. However, the second landing was successful, with a good threshold height and a speed that was within the target range.
The touchdown distance was good at 103 meters, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 129 knots. The touchdown rate was hard at -453 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned by 26.5 meters from the centreline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 270 degrees, resulting in a negligible crosswind and headwind.
The total landing distance was 618 meters, which was 52% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was misaligned by 27.3 meters from the centreline. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area from the runway, taking 1 minute and covering less than 1 nautical mile.
The
The Airbus A320 aircraft successfully landed on runway 33 at GEML Melilla Airport, but the landing was not without its challenges. The final approach was initiated from the south east, heading 327.0° at 3 nautical miles and 1,644 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on the runway, but the threshold height was excessively over target at 134 feet agl, indicating that the aircraft was higher than desired at the point of touchdown.
The threshold speed, however, was well above target at 155 knots, suggesting that the aircraft was traveling too fast as it approached the runway. This excessive speed could have contributed to the hard touchdown rate of -453 feet per minute (fpm), which is higher than desired. The touchdown speed of 129 knots was a little fast, indicating that the aircraft could have benefited from a slightly slower approach.
Despite these issues, the touchdown distance was good at 103 meters, and the aircraft came to rest on the runway with a total landing distance of 618 meters, which is 52% of the runway length. However, the runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned by 26.5 meters from the centreline, indicating that the aircraft did not touch down directly on the centre of the runway.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from 270°. The crosswind and headwind components were both 1 knot, which suggests that the wind was not a significant factor in the landing. The runway rollout alignment was also misaligned by 27.3 meters from the centreline, indicating that the aircraft did not maintain a straight path during the rollout phase.
Overall, while the landing was successful, there were several areas for improvement, including the excessive threshold height, high threshold speed, and hard touchdown rate. The aircraft's touchdown speed and runway touchdown position were also not ideal. However, the touchdown distance and total landing distance were good, and the local weather conditions were favorable.
