Flight Score
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.

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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,395 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 498 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 10 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The Airbus A319 then departed from runway 03 at the GCRR César Manrique-Lanzarote Airport, with a takeoff distance of 814 meters, which accounted for 34% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 138 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 22 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 24 knots blowing from a direction of 349 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 15 knots and a headwind of 20 knots. As the aircraft took off, it began its enroute climb, which started 1 mile northeast of the airport and involved ascending from an altitude of 1,093 feet above sea level to 2,994 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,901 feet in just 1 minute, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which began 1 mile northwest of Costa Teguise and lasted for 7 minutes, covering a distance of 17 nautical miles. The enroute descent phase started 8 miles south of Puerto del Carmen and involved descending from an altitude of 3,010 feet above sea level to 1,320 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,690 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 03 at the GCRR César Manrique-Lanzarote Airport was made from the southwest, with the aircraft heading in a direction of 27.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,278 feet above ground level, 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was made on runway 03, which had a length of 2,395 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 116 knots.
The touchdown point was 73 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 107 knots, which was considered good. However, the touchdown rate was very hard, at -547 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, but the local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 20 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 21 knots blowing from a direction of 330 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 17 knots and a headwind of 11 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,144 meters, which accounted for 48% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 9.8 meters from the centerline. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area from the runway, a process that took 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 36 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 22 minutes, with the aircraft using 776 kilograms of fuel.
The Airbus A319 aircraft successfully landed at GCRR César Manrique-Lanzarote Airport, achieving a score of 89.9%. The final approach to runway 03 was conducted from the south west, with a heading of 27.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,278 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 116 knots.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 73 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 107 knots, which was considered good. However, the touchdown rate was quite hard, at -547 feet per minute (fpm), indicating a relatively abrupt descent. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, suggesting that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway during the landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 20°C, with a wind speed of 21 knots from a direction of 330°. This resulted in a crosswind of 17 knots and a headwind of 11 knots. The total landing distance was 1,144 meters, which accounted for 48% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned, deviating from the centerline by 9.8 meters.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a good touchdown speed and alignment. However, the hard touchdown rate and slightly misaligned rollout alignment suggest areas for improvement in the pilot's technique.
