Flight Score
Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.
What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 20 ft off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
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.
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 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 10,063 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,067 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Airbus A320 taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Vigo Airport, taking 7 minutes and covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 01, with the aircraft taking off after covering 5,170 feet, which was 66% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 161 knots.
As the aircraft climbed, it encountered local weather conditions of 79°F temperature and a wind speed of 2 knots at 355 degrees. The crosswind was 1 knot, and the headwind was 2 knots. The enroute climb started 1 mile south of Redondela, Galicia, Spain, and the aircraft climbed from 1,525 feet above sea level to 27,662 feet above sea level, an increase of 26,137 feet in 11 minutes, covering a distance of 62 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started overhead Rios, Galicia, Spain, and lasted for 12 minutes, covering a distance of 85 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent 2 miles northeast of Venialbo, Castilla y Leon, Spain, and descended from 28,118 feet above sea level to 3,993 feet above sea level, a decrease of 24,125 feet in 24 minutes, covering a distance of 114 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 1 mile west of Campo Real, Comunidad de Madrid, Spain, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 32L at Adolfo Suárez Madrid–Barajas Airport took place from the southeast, heading 322.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,264 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 32L took place on a runway length of 10,063 feet, with the threshold height at 61 feet above ground level being above the target. The threshold speed was slightly above the target at 145 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 1,071 feet, but the touchdown speed at 143 knots was a little fast. The touchdown rate was very hard at -556 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 17 feet from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 77°F temperature and a wind speed of 3 knots at 10 degrees. The crosswind was 2 knots, and the headwind was 2 knots. The total landing distance was 3,707 feet, which was 37% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
The flight ended with the aircraft taxiing to the parking area from the runway, taking 5 minutes and covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 275 nautical miles, taking 63 minutes, and the aircraft used 5,568 pounds of fuel.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed on runway 32L at LEMD Adolfo Suárez Madrid–Barajas Airport, achieving a score of 93.7%. The aircraft approached the runway from the southeast, heading 322.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,264 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down at a speed of 143 knots, which was slightly above the target speed. The touchdown distance of 1,071 feet was considered good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. However, the touchdown rate of -556 feet per minute (fpm) was very hard, suggesting that the aircraft may have experienced a significant deceleration upon touchdown.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 17 feet from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the aircraft's approach path. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 77°F and a light wind of 3 knots at 10°.
The total landing distance of 3,707 feet was 37% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively to bring the aircraft to a stop.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score and demonstrating good control and precision during the approach and touchdown phases. However, there were some minor issues with the touchdown speed and rate, which may be addressed in future training exercises to improve the pilot's performance.
