Flight Score
Departure
Raise the gear lever promptly once a positive climb is confirmed, before reaching the target retraction height.
What happened: Gear retraction was delayed, with the gear not coming up until 440 ft agl.
Watch for: Landing gear: up by the normal retraction gate
Arrival
Use aileron to level the wings and hold the upwind wing low only enough to track the centreline before touchdown.
What happened: At touchdown the wings were not level, with an average bank angle of 4.4°.
Watch for: Watch the bank angle indicator and keep wings level through touchdown.
Twenty knots on a monitor produces the visual sensation of about ten. The advice to "taxi at a walking pace" cannot fix this, because your sense of walking pace is exactly the thing that's broken. Put the groundspeed readout in your scan and obey it for the next fifty flights, the way a student pilot leans on the airspeed indicator before learning to read attitude.

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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,765 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,765 m of the 3,480 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 571 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Airbus A320 taxied from the parking area to runway 28 at LEAL Alicante-Elche Miguel Hernández Airport in 10 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 28, the aircraft accelerated to a liftoff speed of 152 kt and left the ground after a takeoff run of 1,589 m, representing 53 % of the runway length; ambient temperature was 17 °C with a wind of 3 kt from 257°, a 1 kt cross-wind component and a 3 kt head-wind.
Climb commenced 1 mile west of LEAL, with the airplane ascending from 1,178 ft asl to 36,006 ft asl, a gain of 34,828 ft achieved in 18 minutes while covering 105 nm.
The first cruise segment began 14 nm east of Canet d'En Berenguer and lasted 9 minutes, during which the aircraft travelled 67 nm at level flight.
Descent started overhead Santa Barbara, where the flight descended from 36,006 ft asl to 10,371 ft asl, a loss of 25,635 ft in 7 minutes, covering 48 nm.
A second cruise phase was initiated over la Maso, lasting 23 minutes and spanning 32 nm.
The next descent began 2 nm east of Sant Martí Sarroca, with altitude decreasing from 10,057 ft asl to 2,692 ft asl, a reduction of 7,366 ft over 5 minutes and a distance of 29 nm.
A brief cruise segment over 2 nm south-east of Badalona lasted 2 minutes and covered 6 nm.
The final descent started 3 nm south-east of la Vila Olímpica del Poblenou, dropping from 2,380 ft asl to 1,316 ft asl, a loss of 1,064 ft in 2 minutes while traversing 5 nm.
On final approach to runway 24R at LEBL Josep Tarradellas Barcelona-El Prat Airport, the aircraft approached from the north-east on a heading of 245.0°, intercepting the glide path at 4 nm and 1,288 ft agl.
Landing on runway 24R was executed with a threshold height of 59 ft agl and a threshold speed of 138 kt; touchdown occurred 157 m beyond the touchdown zone at 130 kt with a smooth vertical speed of minus 125 fpm, and the alignment was reported as perfect. Local weather at the time was 15 °C with a wind of 3 kt from 258°, a 1 kt cross-wind and a 3 kt head-wind. The total landing roll measured 1,686 m, equivalent to 48 % of the runway length, and rollout alignment remained perfect.
The rollout concluded after the aircraft travelled the landing distance, maintaining the established runway centreline.
Taxi-in to the parking area required less than 1 minute and covered less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 302 nm, lasted 55 minutes, and consumed 2,735 kg of fuel.
The Airbus A320 established a final approach to runway 24R at LEBL Josep Tarradellas Barcelona-El Prat Airport from the north-east, tracking a heading of 245.0° at 4 nm and 1,288 ft agl. Local weather was 15 °C with wind 3 kt from 258°, providing a 1 kt crosswind component and a 3 kt headwind.
At the threshold the aircraft was 59 ft agl, which was slightly above target, and the threshold speed was good at 138 kt.
Touchdown occurred 157 m beyond the touchdown zone with a speed of 130 kt, which was a little fast, and the vertical rate was smooth at minus 125 fpm. Runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The total landing distance was 1,686 m, representing 48 % of the 3,480 m runway, and rollout alignment remained perfect.
With a final score of 95.9 %, the primary refinements are to lower the approach altitude to meet the threshold height target and to reduce touchdown speed so the landing point falls within the designated zone.
