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 5.1 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Begin the flare with progressive back pressure and keep it coming until the sink is arrested, rather than flying it on flat.
What happened: The nose was barely raised in the flare and little of the sink was taken out, flying the aircraft onto the runway. This pattern usually carries through to a firm touchdown with a noticeable sink rate.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a smoothly reducing sink through the normal flare band, not a steady rate into the runway.
Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without 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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,395 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 467 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 10 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, an Airbus A320, then departed from runway 25 at GCTS Tenerife Sur Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,683 meters, which accounted for 53% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 154 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of 22°C, with a wind speed of 10 knots at 141°.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, which started 1 mile southwest of GCTS Tenerife Sur Airport. The climb took 10 minutes and covered a distance of 39 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 1,196 feet above sea level to 25,353 feet above sea level, an increase of 24,156 feet. The enroute level cruise then began 7 miles west of Agaete, and it lasted for 7 minutes, covering a distance of 47 nautical miles.
The enroute descent started 28 miles northeast of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, and it took 20 minutes to descend from an altitude of 25,995 feet above sea level to 1,380 feet above sea level, a decrease of 24,614 feet. The descent covered a distance of 76 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 03 at GCRR César Manrique-Lanzarote Airport was made from the southwest, with a heading of 27.0° at an altitude of 1,335 feet above ground level, and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway.
The landing on runway 03 was made at a speed of 134 knots, which was slightly above the target speed. The touchdown point was 49 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 128 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was hard at -414 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.4 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 20°C, with a wind speed of 10 knots at 330°.
The total landing distance was 1,068 meters, which accounted for 45% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 4 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 172 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 48 minutes. The aircraft used 1,866 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at GCRR César Manrique-Lanzarote Airport, achieving a score of 90.3%. The aircraft approached the runway from the southwest, heading 27.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,335 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was made to runway 03, which has a length of 2,395 meters.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down 49 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, indicating a slight deviation from the intended touchdown point. The touchdown speed of 128 knots was slightly above the target speed, contributing to a hard touchdown rate of -414 feet per minute (fpm). The runway touchdown position was also slightly misaligned by 4.4 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 20°C, with a wind speed of 10 knots from a direction of 330°. This resulted in a crosswind of 9 knots and a headwind of 6 knots. Despite these conditions, the aircraft's landing distance of 1,068 meters, which accounts for 45% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits.
One notable aspect of the landing was the runway rollout alignment, which was deemed very good. This suggests that the aircraft's brakes were applied effectively, and the pilots maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase. Overall, while there were some minor deviations from the target parameters, the Airbus A320's landing at GCRR César Manrique-Lanzarote Airport was considered successful, with a score of 90.3%.
