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 2,130 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 325 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 11 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, Vueling EC-MGZ, then departed from runway 12 at LEVC Valencia Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,951 meters, which accounted for 67% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 158 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 20 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 5 knots from a direction of 300 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 0 knots and a tailwind of 5 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead Manises in the Comunitat Valenciana region of Spain. The climb took 15 minutes and covered a distance of 60 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 1,160 feet above sea level to 31,936 feet above sea level, an increase of 30,775 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 3 miles northwest of LECP Aeródromo de Campillos Campillos-Paravientos in the Castilla-La Mancha region of Spain. This phase lasted for 18 minutes and covered a distance of 113 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 6 miles southeast of San Esteban de Gormaz in the Castilla y Leon region of Spain. The descent took 16 minutes and covered a distance of 99 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from an altitude of 31,809 feet above sea level to 6,018 feet above sea level, a decrease of 25,791 feet.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 2 miles east of Onate in the Euskal Autonomia Erkidegoa region of Spain. This phase lasted for 8 minutes and covered a distance of 11 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 1 mile east of Berriz in the Euskal Autonomia Erkidegoa region of Spain. The descent took 4 minutes and covered a distance of 14 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from an altitude of 5,301 feet above sea level to 1,579 feet above sea level, a decrease of 3,722 feet.
The final approach to runway 30 at LEBB Bilbao Airport was made from the southeast, with the aircraft heading 297.0 degrees at an altitude of 4 nautical miles and 1,446 feet above ground level. However, the aircraft was forced to execute a go-around at an altitude of 41 feet above ground level. The aircraft then landed on runway 30, with a runway length of 2,130 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 134 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 325 meters, and the touchdown speed was 128 knots, which was also good. The touchdown rate was smooth at -146 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.0 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 17 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 8 knots from a direction of 320 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 8 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,331 meters, which accounted for 63% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 12 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 314 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 104 minutes. The
Aircraft Vueling EC-MGZ successfully landed at LEBB Bilbao Airport, achieving a high score of 95.2%. The aircraft approached the runway from the south east, heading 297.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,446 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a precise final approach, taking into account the runway's length of 2,130 meters and the local weather conditions.
The threshold height was good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct altitude as it approached the runway. The threshold speed, which is the speed at which the aircraft should touch down on the runway, was also within the acceptable range, at 136 kt. The aircraft landed smoothly, with a touchdown speed of 128 kt, which is considered good. The touchdown rate, which measures the rate at which the aircraft descends onto the runway, was smooth at -146 feet per minute (fpm).
However, there was a slight deviation in the runway touchdown position, with the aircraft touching down 4.0 meters off the centerline. This deviation is relatively minor and may not have had a significant impact on the overall landing performance. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 17°C and a wind speed of 8 kt at 320°, were relatively calm, with a slight headwind of 8 kt and a negligible crosswind of 3 kt.
The total landing distance was 1,331 meters, which is 63% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the pilot executed a precise and controlled approach. The runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase, ensuring a safe and stable landing.
Overall, the landing performance of aircraft Vueling EC-MGZ was excellent, with a high score of 95.2%. The pilot demonstrated a high level of skill and precision, executing a smooth and controlled approach and landing.
