Work on the flare
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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with five checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,770 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,770 m of the 2,914 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 542 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Airbus A320 taxiing from the parking area to the runway at LEJR Jerez Airport, a process that took 8 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 20, with a takeoff distance of 1,534 meters, which accounted for 67% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 152 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of LEJR Jerez Airport, it encountered local weather conditions of 12°C temperature and a wind speed of 9 knots at 290°. The enroute climb started 1 mile south of the airport and continued for 18 minutes, covering a distance of 102 nautical miles. During this time, the aircraft climbed from 1,072 feet above sea level to 32,670 feet above sea level, an increase of 31,599 feet.
After reaching the cruising altitude, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 2 miles south-east of Alhama de Granada. This phase lasted for 33 minutes and covered a distance of 258 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting 2 miles south-east of Borriol, and descended from 32,743 feet above sea level to 24,717 feet above sea level, a decrease of 8,027 feet, in just 6 minutes and covering 48 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 2 miles north-east of Sant Carles de la Rapita, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering 12 nautical miles. However, this was short-lived, as the aircraft began its descent once again, this time from 24,391 feet above sea level to 10,129 feet above sea level, a decrease of 14,262 feet, in 9 minutes and covering 52 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 21 miles south-east of Sitges, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering 8 nautical miles. However, this was followed by another descent, starting 16 miles south of LEBL Josep Tarradellas Barcelona-El Prat Airport, and descended from 9,341 feet above sea level to 2,348 feet above sea level, a decrease of 6,992 feet, in 10 minutes and covering 32 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 5 miles south-east of Mataro, and lasted for 3 minutes, covering 12 nautical miles. However, this was followed by another descent, starting 4 miles south-east of el Besos i el Maresme, and descended from 2,272 feet above sea level to 1,296 feet above sea level, a decrease of 976 feet, in 2 minutes and covering 5 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 24R at LEBL Josep Tarradellas Barcelona-El Prat Airport was made from the north-east, with a heading of 246.0°, at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,276 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 24R, which had a length of 2,914 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 138 knots.
The touchdown point was 126 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was a little fast at 128 knots. However, the touchdown rate was smooth at -105 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 12°C temperature and a wind speed of 7 knots at 80°.
The total landing distance was 1,688 meters, which accounted for 58% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect. After
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at LEBL Josep Tarradellas Barcelona-El Prat Airport, showcasing a high level of precision and control. The aircraft approached the runway from the north east, heading 246.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,276 feet above ground level (agl). This final approach was executed with a high degree of accuracy, resulting in a 99.1% score.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on runway 24R, which has a length of 2,914 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 138 knots. However, the touchdown speed of 128 knots was slightly above the optimal speed, indicating a minor deviation from the ideal landing parameters. The touchdown rate was smooth, at -105 feet per minute (fpm), which is a desirable characteristic for a safe and controlled landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 12°C and a gentle wind of 7 knots at 80°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, while the tailwind component was 7 knots. These conditions contributed to a relatively smooth and stable landing.
The total landing distance of 1,688 meters was 58% of the runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown. Furthermore, the runway rollout alignment was also perfect, demonstrating the pilot's skill and control in maintaining the aircraft's direction and speed during the rollout phase.
Overall, this landing was a testament to the Airbus A320's capabilities and the pilot's expertise in executing a precise and controlled landing. The high score of 99.1% reflects the aircraft's performance and the pilot's skill in navigating the challenging conditions of the airport.
