Maintain the centreline
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.
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 1,535 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,535 m of the 3,347 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 429 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 27 minutes and covered a distance of 5 nautical miles. The aircraft, an Airbus A320, then departed from runway 24L at LEBL Josep Tarradellas Barcelona-El Prat Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,494 meters, which accounted for 56% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 152 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 8 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 14 knots from a direction of 340 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 14 knots and a tailwind of 1 knot. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile southwest of the airport and reaching an altitude of 33,046 feet above sea level. This climb, which covered a distance of 112 nautical miles, took 19 minutes and involved an increase of 31,991 feet in altitude.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 6 miles southeast of Oropesa del Mar and lasted for 25 minutes. During this period, the aircraft covered a distance of 187 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its first descent, which started 8 miles northeast of La Iruela and involved a decrease of 7,804 feet in altitude over a distance of 30 nautical miles in just 4 minutes.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 4 miles southeast of Begijar and lasted for 9 minutes. During this period, the aircraft covered a distance of 60 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its second descent, which started 2 miles south of Cordoba and involved a decrease of 24,035 feet in altitude over a distance of 64 nautical miles in 16 minutes.
The final approach to runway 09 at LEZL Sevilla Airport was made from the west, with the aircraft heading 90 degrees at an altitude of 1,271 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was made on runway 09, which had a length of 3,347 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 139 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 403 meters, and the touchdown speed was 132 knots, which was also good. However, the touchdown rate was fair at -202 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 3 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 40 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 3 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,429 meters, which accounted for 43% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 9 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 465 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 95 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 3,557 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at LEZL Sevilla Airport, achieving a score of 99.6%. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the west, heading 90.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,271 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with precision, and the aircraft landed smoothly on runway 09, which has a length of 3,347 meters.
The threshold height was good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct altitude as it approached the runway. The threshold speed of 139 knots was also within the acceptable range, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's speed during the landing phase. The touchdown distance of 403 meters was also good, indicating that the aircraft was able to touch down within a safe distance from the runway threshold.
The touchdown speed of 132 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -202 feet per minute (fpm) was fair. However, it is worth noting that a touchdown rate of -202 fpm is slightly higher than the ideal rate, which may indicate some minor issues with the aircraft's descent or the pilot's control inputs.
The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown. This is an important aspect of safe landing, as it helps to prevent the aircraft from veering off the runway or experiencing a loss of directional control.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 3°C and a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 40°. The crosswind component was 3 knots, while the headwind component was also 3 knots. These conditions were relatively calm, which likely contributed to the smoothness of the landing.
The total landing distance of 1,429 meters was 43% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. This indicates that the aircraft was able to touch down and come to a stop within a relatively short distance, which is a testament to the pilot's skill and the aircraft's performance.
Finally, the runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain its alignment with the runway centerline during the rollout phase. This is an important aspect of safe landing, as it helps to prevent the aircraft from veering off the runway or experiencing a loss of directional control. Overall, the landing was a success, and the aircraft was able to touch down safely and smoothly on runway 09 at LEZL Sevilla Airport.
