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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,303 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 290 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Airbus A319 taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Josep Tarradellas Barcelona-El Prat Airport, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles in 14 minutes. The aircraft then departed from runway 24R, with a takeoff distance of 1,752 meters, which was 60% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 158 knots, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 21°C, with a wind speed of 2 knots at 94°.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it started its enroute climb 1 mile south-west of the airport, rising from 1,022 feet above sea level to 33,495 feet above sea level, an increase of 32,473 feet in 16 minutes, covering a distance of 101 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise then began 11 miles south-east of Torreblanca, lasting 40 minutes and covering 297 nautical miles.
The aircraft then started its enroute descent 3 miles south of Colmenar, descending from 33,415 feet above sea level to 2,668 feet above sea level, a decrease of 30,747 feet in 21 minutes, covering a distance of 87 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise started again 3 miles south of Jerez de la Frontera, lasting 2 minutes and covering 4 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began another enroute climb 2 miles east of Jerez de la Frontera, rising from 2,598 feet above sea level to 3,071 feet above sea level, an increase of 473 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise started once more 2 miles north of Jerez Airport, lasting 9 minutes and covering 12 nautical miles.
The aircraft then started its final enroute descent 6 miles north-west of Paterna de Rivera, descending from 2,686 feet above sea level to 1,622 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,065 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute climb 5 miles south-east of Jerez Airport, rising from 1,622 feet above sea level to 5,125 feet above sea level, an increase of 3,503 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered its final enroute level cruise 7 miles south-east of Jerez Airport, lasting 2 minutes and covering 6 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its final descent 2 miles north-west of Paterna de Rivera, descending from 5,137 feet above sea level to 1,360 feet above sea level, a decrease of 3,777 feet in 8 minutes, covering a distance of 12 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 02 at Jerez Airport, heading 21.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,270 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown speed of 128 knots, which was slightly fast, and a touchdown rate of -181 feet per minute, which was good. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.7 meters from the centreline.
The total landing distance was 1,412 meters, which was 61% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area from the runway, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in 4 minutes. The total flight distance was 539 nautical miles, taking 124 minutes, and the aircraft used 4,701 kilograms of fuel.
The Airbus A319 successfully landed at LEJR Jerez Airport, achieving a high score of 98.6%. The aircraft approached the runway from the south, heading 21.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,270 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot maintained a good threshold height, which is a critical aspect of a safe landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was within the acceptable range at 130 knots. However, the touchdown speed of 128 knots was slightly faster than desired, indicating that the pilot may have been able to flare the aircraft more effectively to achieve a smoother touchdown. The touchdown rate of -181 feet per minute (fpm) was good, indicating that the aircraft was able to absorb the impact of touchdown without excessive deceleration.
The aircraft landed on runway 02, which has a length of 2,303 meters. The touchdown distance of 292 meters was good, indicating that the pilot was able to control the aircraft's descent and touchdown effectively. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.7 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the pilot's alignment during the final approach.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 19°C and a wind speed of 3 knots at 160°. The crosswind and tailwind components were both 2 knots, which is relatively minimal and should not have had a significant impact on the landing. The total landing distance of 1,412 meters was 61% of the runway length, which is within the acceptable range.
During the rollout, the aircraft's alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft and align it with the runway centerline effectively. Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated good skills and control throughout the approach and touchdown phases.
