Flight Score
Arrival
Hold the approach aim point and let the aircraft settle onto 457 m instead of holding it off in the flare.
What happened: Touchdown point came 120 m past the target, landing at 577 m against the 457 m aim point, with threshold speed and the flare both within limits.
Watch for: Touchdown distance marker: 457 m from the threshold.
Below 10,000 ft you are typically limited to 250 kt indicated (a US rule that much of the world mirrors in some form, though not universally). This forces a deceleration around 10,000 ft whether the profile wants one or not, so plan for it rather than discovering it.

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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,584 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,584 m of the 2,989 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 577 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Toulouse-Blagnac Airport (LFBO), the Airbus A320 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 9 minutes and covered a distance of approximately 1 nautical mile. Upon reaching runway 32L, the aircraft initiated its departure roll, accelerating down the 1,776-meter stretch of the runway, which comprised 51% of its total length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 159 knots, overcoming the local headwind of 7 knots and a crosswind of 4 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it passed overhead Cornebarrieu, marking the beginning of its enroute climb phase. Over the course of 16 minutes, the aircraft ascended from 1,476 feet above sea level to 31,009 feet, an increase of 29,532 feet, while covering a distance of 100 nautical miles. Following a brief level cruise phase, which lasted 11 minutes and covered 81 nautical miles, the aircraft began its descent, starting 28 miles southeast of La Marina del Prat Vermell. The descent phase, which lasted 18 minutes and covered 95 nautical miles, saw the aircraft decrease its altitude from 30,190 feet to 1,281 feet, a decrease of 28,909 feet.
Upon reaching the final approach phase, the aircraft aligned itself with runway 24L at Palma de Mallorca Airport (LEPA), approaching from the northeast at a heading of 238.0 degrees. The aircraft touched down 163 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 136 knots, slightly above the target speed. The touchdown rate was smooth at -118 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. Following a total landing distance of 1,505 meters, which comprised 58% of the runway length, the aircraft came to a stop, and the pilots initiated the taxiing process, which took 5 minutes and covered a distance of approximately 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 285 nautical miles, and the aircraft consumed 2,276 kilograms of fuel during the journey.
The aircraft touched down on runway 24L at LEPA Palma de Mallorca Airport with a smooth touchdown rate of -118 fpm, although the touchdown speed of 136 kt was slightly above the target. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed of 143 kt was only marginally above the target. The touchdown point was 163 m beyond the touchdown zone, indicating a slight over-run.
The approach quality was excellent, with a perfect runway touchdown alignment. The aircraft maintained its centreline alignment throughout the rollout, which was also perfect. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 20 °C and a headwind of 14 kt, contributed to a stable approach. The aircraft's performance was impressive, with a total landing distance of 1,505 m, which accounted for 58% of the runway length.
The overall landing performance earned a score of 98.6%, reflecting the high standard of the approach, touchdown, and rollout phases. The slight over-run and slightly fast touchdown speed were the only minor deviations from the ideal performance. Nevertheless, the aircraft's handling and control were exemplary, and the crew's skills were evident throughout the landing.
