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 5.3 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Fly the flare as one continuous check of the sink rate from 43 ft, holding back pressure steadily rather than adjusting pitch piecemeal.
What happened: The flare drifted away from its intended profile rather than tracking it smoothly from 43 ft down to touchdown.
Watch for: Watch radio altitude and VSI through the flare, aiming to arrest the sink smoothly from 43 ft to touchdown.
See Arrival Landing
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.
Touched down 788 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 11 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The Airbus A320 then departed from runway 07 at GCTS Tenerife Sur Airport, with a takeoff distance of 1,528 meters, which accounted for 48% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 155 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 24 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 8 knots at 119 degrees.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead GCTS Tenerife Sur Airport. The climb took the aircraft from an altitude of 1,206 feet above sea level to 20,011 feet above sea level, an increase of 18,804 feet in just 8 minutes, covering a distance of 47 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise then began 2 miles east of Agaete, and lasted for 9 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 58 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its enroute descent, which started 33 miles west of Pajara. The descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 20,014 feet above sea level to 1,323 feet above sea level, a decrease of 18,691 feet in 17 minutes, covering a distance of 72 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 03 at GCRR César Manrique-Lanzarote Airport was made from the southwest, with the aircraft heading at 27.0 degrees and at an altitude of 1,278 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 03 was successful, with the touchdown point being 299 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 122 knots, which was good, while the touchdown rate was fair at -228 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 3.9 meters. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 22 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 11 knots at 10 degrees.
The total landing distance was 1,249 meters, which accounted for 52% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating a smooth and controlled landing. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area, a process that took 4 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 186 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 46 minutes, during which the aircraft used 1,699 kilograms of fuel.
The Airbus A320 aircraft successfully landed at GCRR César Manrique-Lanzarote Airport, with a score of 86.1%. The final approach to runway 03 was initiated from the south west, heading 27.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,278 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach was characterized by a slightly above-target threshold speed of 136 knots, which is a relatively high speed for a landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 299 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a significant deviation from the target. However, the touchdown speed of 122 knots was within the acceptable range, indicating a good control of the aircraft's descent. The touchdown rate of -228 feet per minute (fpm) was fair, suggesting that the aircraft's rate of descent was not excessively high.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.9 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the aircraft's approach path. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 22°C and a headwind of 11 knots. The crosswind component was minimal, at 3 knots, which reduced the risk of a significant deviation from the intended flight path.
The total landing distance of 1,249 meters was 52% of the available runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively, allowing the aircraft to come to a stop within a short distance.
Overall, while the landing was not perfect, the Airbus A320 aircraft demonstrated good control and stability during the approach and touchdown phases. The slight deviations from the target were not significant enough to compromise the safety of the aircraft or its occupants.
