Flight Score
Departure
Rotate sooner, bringing the nose up at 137 kt rather than letting speed build further.
What happened: You lifted off at 152 kt against a rotation target of 137 kt, rotating late in the ground roll.
Watch for: Watch airspeed and rotate at the target of 137 kt.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Keep the back pressure coming through the flare so the sink does not return at 232 fpm.
What happened: The flare arrested the sink, but then the sink returned before touchdown.
Watch for: Watch the VSI in the flare and keep arrested sink from returning before touchdown at 397 fpm.
See Arrival Landing
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.
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 446 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft, an Airbus A320, taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Gran Canaria Airport (GCLP). This process took 12 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 03L, with the aircraft taking off after covering 28% of the runway's length. The takeoff distance was 867 meters, and the liftoff speed was 152 knots.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it encountered local weather conditions of 23°C temperature and a wind speed of 25 knots at 19°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 25 knots. The enroute climb started over the airport, with the aircraft ascending from 1,065 feet above sea level to 4,009 feet in just 1 minute, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise phase began 4 miles northeast of Telde, lasting 2 minutes and covering 7 nautical miles. The aircraft then climbed again, this time from 4,011 feet to 20,002 feet in 5 minutes, covering a distance of 27 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise phase resumed 34 miles northeast of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, lasting 3 minutes and covering 21 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its descent from 20,008 feet to 2,313 feet in 14 minutes, covering a distance of 56 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise phase started again 7 miles south of Puerto del Carmen, lasting 3 minutes and covering 6 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 03 at César Manrique-Lanzarote Airport (GCRR) was made from the southwest, with the aircraft heading 27.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,331 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 03 was successful, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 110 knots and a distance of 448 meters. The touchdown rate was fair at -214 feet per minute, but the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 20°C temperature and a wind speed of 24 knots at 30°, with a crosswind component of 1 knot and a headwind component of 24 knots.
The total landing distance was 765 meters, which was 32% of the runway's length. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking 4 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 129 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 42 minutes. The aircraft used 1,371 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at GCRR César Manrique-Lanzarote Airport, demonstrating a high level of proficiency in its approach and landing procedures. The aircraft's final approach to runway 03 was executed from the southwest, aligning with a heading of 27.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,331 feet above ground level (agl).
The pilot's control of the aircraft during the approach was evident in the good threshold height and speed, which were achieved at 121 knots. This indicates that the pilot was able to maintain a stable and controlled descent, setting the aircraft up for a smooth touchdown. The touchdown distance of 448 meters was also within acceptable limits, further demonstrating the pilot's skill and experience.
The landing itself was characterized by a touchdown speed of 110 knots, which was good, and a touchdown rate of -214 feet per minute (fpm), which was fair. While the touchdown rate could be improved, it was still within the acceptable range, and the pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the landing was evident.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 20°C and a wind speed of 24 knots from a direction of 30°. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 24 knots, which the pilot effectively managed during the landing. The total landing distance of 765 meters, which accounted for 32% of the runway length, was also within acceptable limits.
The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft during the landing and rollout phases. Overall, the landing was a success, demonstrating the pilot's skill and experience in executing a safe and controlled approach and landing.
