What held you back

Arrival Rollout — Landing distance 1,634 m at 0 %, Runway alignment max 43.62 m right at 0 %, −4.29 points
Arrival Landing — GPWS warning; Threshold height at 106 ft agl was excessively over target at 0 %, Flare profile at 0 %, −3.34 points
Arrival Final 4 — Approach angle 6.7 ° at 46 %, −0.81 points

Next time

Departure

Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.

What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 5.7 m off the runway centreline.

Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.

See Departure Roll

Arrival

Raise the nose more slowly in the flare and stop as soon as the sink is checked; if it balloons, hold the attitude.

What happened: The flare ballooned, with 615 fpm of sink returning after the arrest; a balloon like this usually carries through to a firm touchdown, as it did here at 251 fpm.

Watch for: The runway ahead: the aircraft still sinking gently towards it through the flare, never rising.

See Arrival LandingArrival Touchdown

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.

Flight narrative

The flight began with the departure roll from runway 36L at Adolfo Suárez Madrid–Barajas Airport, LEMD. The Airbus A340 took off with a takeoff distance of 1,394 meters, which was 41% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 154 knots. At the time of departure, the local weather conditions were a temperature of 6 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 4 knots at 239 degrees. The crosswind was 3 knots, and the tailwind was 2 knots.

As the aircraft climbed, it started its enroute climb 2 miles northwest of Paracuellos de Jarama, Spain. The climb was from 3,047 feet above sea level to 13,230 feet above sea level, an increase of 10,183 feet in just 5 minutes, covering a distance of 22 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise started 1 mile northwest of El Berrueco, Spain, and lasted for 55 minutes, covering a distance of 269 nautical miles.

The enroute descent started 1 mile southeast of Fuengirola, Spain, and the aircraft descended from 13,465 feet above sea level to 7,357 feet above sea level, a decrease of 6,108 feet in 6 minutes, covering a distance of 23 nautical miles. The aircraft then started another enroute climb 19 miles south of San Pedro de Alcantara, Spain, climbing from 7,113 feet above sea level to 9,551 feet above sea level, an increase of 2,437 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles.

The enroute descent started 16 miles east of the Gibraltar Static Carrier - Prince of Wales, Gibraltar, and the aircraft descended from 9,457 feet above sea level to 8,678 feet above sea level, a decrease of 779 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles. The aircraft then started another enroute climb 14 miles east of the Gibraltar Static Carrier - Prince of Wales, climbing from 8,694 feet above sea level to 11,361 feet above sea level, an increase of 2,667 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles.

The final enroute descent started 10 miles east of the Gibraltar Static Carrier - Prince of Wales, and the aircraft descended from 11,311 feet above sea level to 1,820 feet above sea level, a decrease of 9,492 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 10 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 27 at Gibraltar Airport, LXGB, from the east, heading 269.0 degrees at 2 nautical miles and 1,763 feet above ground level.

The landing on runway 27 at LXGB Gibraltar Airport was notable for several reasons. The threshold height at 106 feet above ground level was excessively over target, and the threshold speed was excessively high at 211 knots. The touchdown point was very long, using more than 50% of the available runway. The touchdown speed was 192 knots, which was fast, and the touchdown rate was fair at -252 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.7 meters from the centerline.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 11 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 8 knots at 260 degrees. The crosswind was 1 knot, and the headwind was 8 knots. The total landing distance was 1,634 meters, which was 107% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was significantly misaligned by 43.6 meters from the centerline.

In total, the flight distance was 347 nautical miles

Landing Summary

The Airbus A340 aircraft has landed at Gibraltar Airport, but the landing was not without its issues. The final approach to runway 27 was initiated from the east, heading 269.0° at a distance of 2 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,763 feet above ground level. Unfortunately, the aircraft failed to meet the target threshold height, coming in at 106 feet above ground level, which is excessively high.

Upon landing, the aircraft touched down at a speed of 192 knots, which is considered fast. This excessive speed resulted in a long touchdown point, with the aircraft using more than 50% of the available runway. The touchdown rate of -252 feet per minute was fair, but the overall performance was marred by the high speed and long touchdown point.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were not ideal, with a temperature of 11°C and a wind speed of 8 knots from 260°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, but the headwind component was significant at 8 knots. Despite these conditions, the aircraft's performance was not satisfactory.

The total landing distance of 1,634 meters was 107% of the available runway length, indicating that the aircraft had a significant amount of runway remaining after touchdown. However, the runway rollout alignment was significantly misaligned by 43.6 meters from the centerline, which is a concern for safety.

Overall, the landing of the Airbus A340 at Gibraltar Airport was not a successful one, with several issues that need to be addressed. The high threshold height, excessive touchdown speed, and long touchdown point all contributed to a subpar performance. The significant misalignment of the runway rollout alignment is also a cause for concern and requires attention to ensure the safety of the aircraft and its occupants.
