MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Rotate sooner, bringing the nose up at 143 kt rather than letting speed build further.
What happened: You lifted off at 161 kt against a rotation target of 143 kt, rotating late in the ground roll.
Watch for: Watch airspeed and rotate at the target of 143 kt.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Add power earlier on final to hold VREF of 126 kt by the gates rather than let speed decay.
What happened: The approach was flown too slow through the stabilisation gates, crossing the threshold at 120 kt against a VREF of 126 kt.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator against 126 kt from the first stabilisation gate onward.
See Arrival Approach
There are several things that can go wrong during the flare, carrying too much speed over the threshold, starting the flare at the wrong height and inconsistent flight control inputs, all contribute to a poor flare resulting in a hard touchdown or a float down the runway.

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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
At the 500 ft gate: speed 6 kt SLOW on the reference speed of 126 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,480 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 511 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Airbus A320 taxied from the parking area to runway 24L at LEPA Palma de Mallorca Airport, a movement that lasted 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 24L, the aircraft accelerated over a take-off distance of 1,352 m, representing 45 % of the runway, and lifted off at 161 kt. Ambient conditions were a temperature of 32 °C with a wind of 9 kt from 219°, including a 3 kt cross-wind component and a 9 kt head-wind.
Climb commenced overhead LEPA, with the airplane climbing from 1,084 ft asl to 13,598 ft asl, an increase of 12,514 ft achieved in 4 minutes while covering 16 nm.
The first cruise segment began 6 miles south-west of El Toro and continued for 30 minutes, during which the aircraft flew 198 nm at level altitude.
Descent started 31 miles south of Sitges, descending from 13,581 ft asl to 2,566 ft asl, a loss of 11,015 ft in 10 minutes and covering 45 nm.
A second level cruise commenced 15 miles south-east of LEBL Josep Tarradellas Barcelona-El Prat Airport, lasting 8 minutes and spanning 26 nm.
The final approach to runway 24R at LEBL was executed from the north-east, on a heading of 245.0°, at 4 nm and 1,474 ft agl.
Landing on runway 24R, which is 3,480 m long, was achieved with a threshold speed of 121 kt. Touchdown occurred 90 m beyond the touchdown zone at 116 kt, with a vertical speed of minus 267 fpm and very good runway alignment. Local weather at the time was 30 °C, wind 5 kt from 219°, a 2 kt cross-wind and a 5 kt head-wind.
The rollout distance measured 1,081 m, equivalent to 31 % of the runway, and alignment during rollout was perfect.
In total, the flight covered 290 nm, required 55 minutes, and used 0 kg of fuel.
The Airbus A320 executed the final approach to runway 06L at LEBL Josep Tarradellas Barcelona-El Prat Airport from the south-west on a heading of 65.0 ° at 4 nm and 1,297 ft agl. The approach was assessed as stabilised at the 1,000 ft gate, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope and centreline all within limits.
At threshold the height of 55 ft agl was slightly above target and the threshold speed of 144 kt was slightly above target. The flare was commenced in accordance with the aircraft’s procedures.
Touchdown occurred 221 m beyond the touchdown zone with a speed of 137 kt, described as a little fast, and a fair vertical rate of minus 291 fpm. The touchdown point was slightly misaligned by 3.2 m from the centreline.
The total landing distance was 1,642 m, representing 54 % of the 3,036 m runway, and the rollout alignment was very good.
To improve the already strong performance, aim to achieve the target touchdown point within the designated zone and reduce the touchdown speed to the intended value, which will also help keep the touchdown point closer to the centreline. Maintaining the target speed on final will further tighten the landing parameters.
