Smooth the climb
Pull to 15 degrees at one rate and you get a clean liftoff, pull to the same 15 degrees at twice the rate and you get an overshoot, a push, and an oscillation through the first few hundred feet. The type-general rule of thumb is a rotation rate of about 2 to 3 degrees per second, which means roughly five to seven seconds from starting the pull to reaching the initial climb attitude of around 15 degrees nose-up. Count it out loud during your next takeoff and you will almost certainly discover you have been rotating in two seconds flat.

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 1,750 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,750 m of the 2,914 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 423 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in Vueling EC-LUN started with a 7-minute taxi from the parking area to the runway at LICC Fontanarossa. The departure roll on runway 08 covered a distance of 1 nm before taking off. The takeoff distance was 1,516 m, with the liftoff speed recorded at 141 knots. The local weather at departure was 23°C with a 5-knot wind coming from 250°, resulting in a crosswind of 1 knot and a tailwind of 4 knots.
The enroute climb began 1 mile southeast of Catania, Italy, and lasted 19 minutes. The aircraft climbed from 1,024 ft asl to 36,715 ft asl, covering a distance of 83 nm. The level cruise portion of the flight started 1 mile east of Misilmeri and lasted 67 minutes, covering a distance of 428 nm.
The enroute descent commenced 64 miles northeast of Mao, Spain, descending from 36,581 ft asl to 2,314 ft asl over 29 minutes and 114 nm. The next level cruise segment began 3 miles south of Canet de Mar and lasted 8 minutes, covering 21 nm.
The landing on runway 24R at LEBL El Prat saw the aircraft touchdown 422 m from the threshold at a speed of 132 knots. The VSI was recorded at -178 ft/m, and the total landing distance was 1,669 m (57% of the runway). The local weather at the destination was 20°C with a 5-knot wind coming from 349°, resulting in a crosswind of 4 knots and a tailwind of 1 knot.
After landing, the aircraft taxied for 6 minutes to the parking area, covering less than 1 nm. The total flight distance was 656 nm, the duration of the flight was 168 minutes, and 5,263 kg of fuel was consumed during the journey.
Congratulations on achieving an impressive aircraft landing score of 98.0%! Your exceptional performance demonstrates a high level of skill and precision throughout each phase of the landing process.
In the Approach Phase, your ability to maintain excellent glideslope alignment is commendable. This vital aspect of the approach ensures a smooth descent towards the runway, setting the stage for a successful landing. Your careful attention to detail during this phase likely contributed significantly to the overall accuracy of your landing.
Moving on to the Landing Phase, your execution of the threshold height and landing flare was particularly noteworthy. Achieving a good threshold height indicates a keen awareness of the aircraft's position relative to the runway, while a perfect landing flare demonstrates a mastery of the essential technique required for a smooth touchdown. Your proficiency in these key elements undoubtedly played a crucial role in the success of your landing.
During the Touchdown Phase, your ability to control the touchdown rate and touchdown distance within the touchdown zone is indicative of your proficiency in handling the aircraft during the critical moment of contact with the runway. While your speed was slightly above target, your skill in managing the touchdown rate and distance likely helped to mitigate any potential impact on the overall landing performance. Additionally, your runway touchdown position being 4.7 meters from the centerline showcases your ability to maintain accuracy and alignment during this phase.
Lastly, in the Rollout Phase, maintaining a runway alignment within 7.0 meters from the centerline demonstrates a consistent level of precision and control as you bring the aircraft to a complete stop. This phase is crucial for ensuring a safe and efficient exit from the runway, and your ability to maintain alignment speaks to your proficiency in handling the aircraft during the final stages of the landing process.
Overall, your outstanding performance in each phase of the landing process reflects a high level of skill, precision, and attention to detail. By consistently demonstrating mastery in key elements such as glideslope alignment, threshold height, landing flare, touchdown rate and distance, runway alignment, and touchdown position, you have showcased yourself as a highly proficient and capable pilot. Keep up the excellent work, and continue striving for excellence in all aspects of your aircraft operations. Well done!
