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 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
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 3,097 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 658 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 GCTS Tenerife Sur Airport, a process that took 9 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft then departed from runway 25, with a takeoff distance of 1,579 meters, which accounted for 49% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 156 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions of 24°C temperature and winds of 8 knots at 210 degrees. The crosswind was 5 knots, while the headwind was 6 knots. After departing from Tenerife Sur Airport, the aircraft began its enroute climb, which started overhead the airport and took the aircraft from 1,250 feet above sea level to 8,889 feet above sea level, an increase of 7,639 feet in just 3 minutes, covering a distance of 10 nautical miles.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, which lasted for 5 minutes and covered a distance of 26 nautical miles. This cruise phase took place 8 miles south west of GCTS Tenerife Sur Airport. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 16 miles south east of Lomo de Arico and took the aircraft from 9,022 feet above sea level to 5,006 feet above sea level, a decrease of 4,015 feet in 8 minutes, covering a distance of 40 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 7 nautical miles. This cruise phase took place 8 miles south west of Maspalomas. The aircraft then began its final descent, which started 10 miles south of Playa del Ingles and took the aircraft from 5,011 feet above sea level to 1,439 feet above sea level, a decrease of 3,572 feet in 7 minutes, covering a distance of 22 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 03L at GCLP Gran Canaria Airport was made from the south, with the aircraft heading at 21.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,380 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 03L, which had a length of 3,097 meters. The threshold height was slightly above the target, while the threshold speed was also slightly above the target at 137 knots.
The touchdown point was 236 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 125 knots, which was good. The touchdown rate was fair at -207 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was also perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 20°C temperature and winds of 11 knots at 59 degrees. The crosswind was 7 knots, while the headwind was 9 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,221 meters, which accounted for 39% of the runway. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 113 nautical miles, and the flight took 36 minutes. The aircraft used 1,245 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed on runway 03L at GCLP Gran Canaria Airport, achieving a score of 95.9%. The aircraft approached the runway from the south, heading 21.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,380 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was conducted with a slight deviation in threshold height, being 56 feet agl, which was slightly above the target.
The aircraft touched down on the runway at a speed of 125 knots, which was within the acceptable range. However, the touchdown rate of -207 feet per minute (fpm) was considered fair, indicating that the aircraft could have been slowed down more efficiently during the landing. The touchdown point was 236 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 20°C and wind speeds of 11 knots at 59°. The crosswind component was 7 knots, while the headwind component was 9 knots. These conditions did not significantly impact the landing, and the aircraft maintained perfect runway touchdown alignment.
The total landing distance of 1,221 meters was 39% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the aircraft was well-controlled during the landing and rollout phases. Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score and demonstrating good control and precision.
