Improve the rollout
Ground control varies with speed, full authority at walking pace, progressively reducing as groundspeed rises. The aircraft becomes twitchy at any speed, every small pedal input swings the nose, which can encourage large-amplitude leg inputs that no real aircraft would accept.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
Side view — the last 1,673 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,673 m of the 3,002 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 496 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in question was operated by Vueling, with the aircraft registration EC-MGZ. The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 16 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles (nm). The aircraft then departed from runway 24R at LEBL Josep Tarradellas Barcelona-El Prat Airport, with a takeoff distance of 1,715 meters, which accounted for 59% of the runway.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 10°C, with a wind speed of 8 knots at a direction of 350°. The aircraft experienced a crosswind of 8 knots and a tailwind of 2 knots. The liftoff speed was 157 knots, and the aircraft climbed to a height of 27,972 feet above sea level (asl) in 15 minutes, covering a distance of 78 nm.
The enroute climb started overhead LEBL Josep Tarradellas Barcelona-El Prat Airport, and the aircraft continued to climb to a height of 28,210 ft asl before beginning its descent. The descent started 5 miles north of Argente, Aragon, Spain, and the aircraft descended to a height of 20,513 ft asl in 5 minutes, covering a distance of 33 nm.
The aircraft then entered a level cruise, starting 1 mile west of Checa, Castilla-La Mancha, Spain, and lasting 2 minutes, covering a distance of 9 nm. The descent started 7 miles east of Canizares, Castilla-La Mancha, Spain, and the aircraft descended to a height of 7,801 ft asl in 11 minutes, covering a distance of 48 nm.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting overhead Driebes, Castilla-La Mancha, Spain, and lasting 2 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nm. The descent started 2 miles east of Carabana, Comunidad de Madrid, Spain, and the aircraft descended to a height of 3,178 ft asl in 5 minutes, covering a distance of 17 nm.
The final approach to runway 32R at LEMD Adolfo Suárez Madrid–Barajas Airport was made from the south east, with a heading of 322.0° at a distance of 4 nm and an altitude of 1,216 feet above ground level (agl). The landing was made on runway 32R, which had a length of 3,002 meters. The threshold speed was good at 138 knots, and the touchdown speed was 134 knots, which was also good.
The touchdown point was 84 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown rate was firm at -311 feet per minute (fpm). The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 12.3 meters from the centreline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 6°C, with a wind speed of 3 knots at a direction of 350°. The aircraft experienced a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 3 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,596 meters, which accounted for 53% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 11.7 meters from the centreline. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 13 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nm.
The total flight distance was 272 nm, and the flight duration was 77 minutes. The aircraft used 2,710 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
Aircraft Vueling EC-MGZ successfully landed at LEMD Adolfo Suárez Madrid–Barajas Airport, with a final approach to runway 32R from the south east. The aircraft was at an altitude of 1,216 feet above ground level (agl) and 4 nautical miles from the runway at a heading of 322.0°. The landing was executed with a good threshold height, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 138 knots.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 84 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 134 knots, which was considered good. The touchdown rate was firm at -311 feet per minute, indicating a controlled descent. However, there was a slight misalignment of the runway touchdown position, with the aircraft being 12.3 meters off the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 6°C and a wind speed of 3 knots from a direction of 350°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, while the headwind component was 3 knots. The total landing distance was 1,596 meters, which accounted for 53% of the runway length. During the rollout, the aircraft's alignment was slightly off the centerline by 11.7 meters.
Overall, the landing was executed with a high degree of precision, considering the weather conditions and the aircraft's performance. However, there were some minor deviations from the ideal touchdown position and rollout alignment, which could be addressed through further training and refinement of the pilots' skills.
