Arrival
Keep the back pressure coming through the flare so the sink does not return at 138 fpm.
What happened: The flare arrested the sink, but then the sink returned before touchdown.
Watch for: Watch the VSI in the flare and keep arrested sink from returning before touchdown at 233 fpm.
See Arrival Landing
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.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,583 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,583 m of the 1,946 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 627 m past the threshold — beyond 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 journey began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 15 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft then departed from runway 24R at LEBL Josep Tarradellas Barcelona-El Prat Airport, with a takeoff distance of 1,946 meters, which accounted for 67% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 162 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 26 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 3 knots at 230 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 3 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile southwest of the airport, and reached a maximum altitude of 35,992 feet above sea level. The climb phase lasted for 22 minutes and covered a distance of 143 nautical miles, with an increase in altitude of 34,948 feet.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 1 mile southeast of Sagunto, Spain. This phase lasted for 122 minutes and covered a distance of 860 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 44 miles northeast of Caleta de Sebo, Canary Islands, and descended from 35,994 feet to 4,086 feet above sea level. The descent phase lasted for 16 minutes and covered a distance of 94 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 6 miles southeast of GCFV Fuerteventura Airport El Matorral, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 10 miles southeast of the airport, and descended from 4,081 feet to 2,533 feet above sea level. The final descent phase lasted for 3 minutes and covered a distance of 5 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered a final level cruise phase, which started 10 miles southeast of Tuineje, Canary Islands, and lasted for 3 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 01 at GCFV Fuerteventura Airport, from the south, with a heading of 2.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,247 feet above ground level.
The landing was successful, with a touchdown point 204 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 129 knots, which was good, and the touchdown rate was excellent at -57 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 21 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 11 knots at 350 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 10 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,495 meters, which accounted for 77% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 7 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,125 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 189 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 7,358 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
Aircraft Vueling EC-MGZ successfully landed at Fuerteventura Airport (GCFV) with a score of 96.7%. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the south, heading 2.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,247 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was made to runway 01, which has a length of 1,946 meters.
The aircraft's performance during the landing was satisfactory, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 139 knots. The touchdown point was 204 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively safe distance. The touchdown speed of 129 knots was also within the acceptable range, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown rate of -57 feet per minute (fpm) was excellent, demonstrating a high level of precision and control during the landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 21°C and a wind speed of 11 knots from a direction of 350°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, while the headwind component was 10 knots, which helped to reduce the aircraft's ground speed and make the landing more manageable.
The total landing distance of 1,495 meters was 77% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the aircraft was well under control during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was a success, with the aircraft performing well in terms of speed, distance, and alignment.
