Maintain the centreline
A small uncorrected heading error at 40 knots becomes a metre of offset per second by 100 knots, noticed only at rotation, producing a crabbed liftoff. Root cause is nearly always eyes on the tape instead of the far end of the runway. Small heading changes displace a distant point visibly long before the nearby centreline stripes look wrong.

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 152 m above the runway. The 305 m 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 3,123 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 207 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in the Airbus A320 began with a 7-minute taxi from the parking area to the runway at LEGR F.G.L. Airport in Granada, Spain. The departure roll on runway 09 covered 1,843 meters, with a takeoff speed of 160 knots. The local weather at the time was 14°C, with no significant winds affecting the takeoff.
The enroute climb started one mile southeast of Chauchina, during which the aircraft climbed from 867 meters above sea level to 6,954 meters, covering a distance of 35 nautical miles in 10 minutes. Following a brief level cruise, a second climb phase began one mile northeast of Cuevas Bajas, climbing from 6,954 meters to 10,921 meters in 9 minutes and covering a distance of 61 nautical miles.
During the second level cruise phase, the aircraft traveled 121 nautical miles in 9 minutes, starting two miles northwest of El Viso del Alcor. The subsequent descent phase began 6 miles northwest of Peroguarda, during which the aircraft descended from 10,976 meters to 504 meters over 24 minutes, covering a distance of 58 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 02 at LPPT Humberto Delgado Airport in Lisbon was from the south, with the aircraft at an altitude of 395.6 meters above ground level. The landing on runway 02 was successful, with a touchdown speed of 132 knots and a touchdown rate of -1.1 meters per second. The total landing distance was 1,265 meters, representing 41% of the runway length.
After landing, a 5-minute taxi from the runway back to the parking area covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance for the journey was 283 nautical miles, with a total flight time of 63 minutes. The aircraft consumed 2,712 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
Congratulations on achieving an impressive aircraft landing score of 98.8%! Let's delve into the details to see exactly why this landing was such a success.
Starting with the Approach Phase, it's clear that your glideslope alignment was excellent. This indicates a high level of precision and control throughout the descent towards the runway. Additionally, maintaining a threshold speed of 135 knots shows a good balance between speed and control, setting the stage for a smooth landing.
Moving on to the Landing Phase, it's great to see that the threshold height was good, indicating a well-planned and executed descent towards the runway. The perfect landing flare suggests a seamless transition from descent to touchdown, further enhancing the overall smoothness of the landing.
The Touchdown Phase also yielded positive results, with a fair touchdown rate of -1.1 m/s. While there is always room for improvement, this rate indicates a relatively gentle touchdown, minimizing any potential stress on the aircraft and its occupants. Additionally, touchdown speed at 132 knots is commendable, balancing the need for a controlled descent with the requirements of a safe landing. The touchdown distance of 209 meters is within acceptable parameters, demonstrating good judgment and skill in bringing the aircraft to a stop efficiently.
Lastly, the runway touchdown alignment being very good is a significant achievement, as it ensures the aircraft is properly positioned on the runway for a smooth and safe landing. Overall, this analysis highlights a well-executed landing that showcases a high level of proficiency and attention to detail.
Keep up the excellent work, and continue striving for precision and excellence in all aspects of your aircraft operations. Your dedication to safety and proficiency is evident in this landing score, and serves as a testament to your skill as a pilot. Keep aiming high, and congratulations once again on this exceptional performance.
