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 7.5 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Fly a steeper descent on final so you cross the threshold at 50 ft agl instead of 60 ft agl.
What happened: The aircraft crossed the threshold at 60 ft agl against a 50 ft agl target, well above the normal profile. The touchdown point was also long at 687 m against a 457 m target, a pattern often seen after high threshold crossings.
Watch for: Radio altimeter against the 50 ft threshold crossing target on short final.
Ground effect becomes significant below about one wingspan of height. A Cessna 172, with a 36 ft span, enters ground effect at flare height - the float it feels in the hold-off is ground effect arriving on cue. An A320, with a span around 117 ft, has been in ground effect since before the threshold and there is no sudden cushion to feel, only a gradual reduction in induced drag that lengthens any float you allow.

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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,571 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,571 m of the 2,791 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 687 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight departed from London Stansted Airport, taxiing from the parking area to the runway took approximately 5 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The Boeing 737-800 then began its departure roll on runway 22, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 150 knots. The takeoff distance of 1,191 meters was 43% of the runway length, with a local temperature of 14°C and wind conditions of 8 knots at 140°.
As the aircraft climbed out of London Stansted, it began its enroute climb 1 mile south east of Birchanger, Essex, reaching an altitude of 3,954 feet above sea level in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, maintaining an altitude of 3,954 feet for 3 minutes as it covered 14 nautical miles. The climb phase resumed 1 mile north west of EGGQ Cottered Airstrip, Great Munden, Hertfordshire, with the aircraft reaching a maximum altitude of 35,963 feet in 18 minutes, covering a distance of 118 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a prolonged level cruise phase, lasting 93 minutes and covering 570 nautical miles.
As the aircraft began its descent into Ibiza Airport, it started 5 miles south east of LEBL Josep Tarradellas Barcelona-El Prat Airport, Barcelona, Spain, descending from 36,100 feet to 3,483 feet in 33 minutes, covering a distance of 169 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 06 at LEIB Ibiza Airport was made from the south west, with the aircraft touching down 273 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The total landing distance was 1,492 meters, 53% of the runway length, with a touchdown speed of 129 knots and a touchdown rate of -171 feet per minute. The runway rollout alignment was very good, with the aircraft using a total of 5,851 kilograms of fuel for the 904-nautical-mile flight, which lasted 147 minutes.
The final approach to runway 06 at LEIB Ibiza Airport from the south west was conducted with a heading of 62.0° at 4 nm and 1,262 ft above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with the threshold height at 60 ft agl being above the target. However, the threshold speed was good at 138 kt, indicating a well-executed approach.
As the aircraft touched down on runway 06, the touchdown point was 273 m beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 129 kt. This speed was good, and the touchdown rate of -171 fpm was also within acceptable limits. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.2 m from the centreline. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 19 °C and wind at 12 kt at 80°, contributed to a crosswind of 4 kt and a headwind of 11 kt.
The total landing distance of 1,492 m was 53% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance. The runway rollout alignment was very good, with the aircraft maintaining a consistent path along the centreline. Overall, the landing was scored 90.8%, reflecting a good performance with some minor deviations from the ideal approach and touchdown.
