Work on the flare
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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
Side view — the last 1,533 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,533 m of the 3,403 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 589 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 flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took approximately 9 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile (nm). The aircraft then departed from runway 06L at LEBL Josep Tarradellas Barcelona-El Prat Airport, with a takeoff distance of 1,383 meters, which accounted for 47% of the runway.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 15°C, with a wind speed of 18 knots at a direction of 50°. This resulted in a crosswind of 5 knots and a headwind of 17 knots. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 165 knots. The enroute climb began approximately 1 mile south east of El Prat de Llobregat, Spain, and involved a significant increase in altitude from 1,003 feet above sea level (asl) to 34,425 ft asl, a total increase of 33,423 ft in 19 minutes, covering a distance of 118 nm.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started approximately 60 miles north east of Ferreries, Spain, and lasted for 118 minutes, covering a distance of 841 nm. The aircraft then began its descent, which started approximately 2 miles south east of Akhinos, Greece, and involved a decrease in altitude from 34,615 ft asl to 21,981 ft asl, a total decrease of 12,634 ft in 5 minutes, covering a distance of 38 nm.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started approximately 1 mile east of LGTH Thiva Thivai, Greece, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 12 nm. The aircraft then began its descent once again, which started approximately 3 miles north east of Oinoi, Greece, and involved a significant decrease in altitude from 22,001 ft asl to 5,280 ft asl, a total decrease of 16,721 ft in 10 minutes, covering a distance of 54 nm.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started approximately 12 miles south east of Legrena, Greece, and lasted for 7 minutes, covering a distance of 24 nm. The aircraft then began its final descent, which started approximately 7 miles south of Vouliagmeni, Greece, and involved a decrease in altitude from 4,642 ft asl to 1,556 ft asl, a total decrease of 3,087 ft in 5 minutes, covering a distance of 13 nm.
The final approach to runway 03R at LGAV Athens Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport was made from the south west, with a heading of 37.0° at 4 nm and 1,268 ft above ground level (agl). The landing was successful, with a touchdown point 169 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 124 knots, which was considered good, and the touchdown rate was -162 feet per minute (fpm), which was also considered good. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 12°C, with a wind speed of 9 knots at a direction of 30°. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 9 knots. The total landing distance was 1,448 meters, which accounted for 43% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took approximately 8 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nm. The total flight distance was 1,108 nm, with a
Aircraft Vueling EC-MGZ successfully landed at Athens Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport (LGAV) on runway 03R. The final approach was conducted from the southwest, heading 37.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,268 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft demonstrated a high level of proficiency in its landing, achieving a score of 97.8%.
The threshold height was good, indicating that the aircraft was properly configured for landing. The threshold speed of 139 knots was also within the acceptable range, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's speed during the approach. The touchdown point was 169 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation but still within the acceptable limits.
The touchdown speed of 124 knots was good, and the touchdown rate of -162 feet per minute (fpm) was also within the acceptable range. This suggests that the pilot was able to smoothly transition the aircraft from the approach to the landing, minimizing the impact on the aircraft and the runway. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot was able to accurately align the aircraft with the runway centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 12°C and a wind speed of 9 knots from a direction of 30°. The crosswind component was minimal, at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 9 knots. These conditions were favorable for the landing, and the pilot was able to take advantage of the headwind to help slow the aircraft down during the approach.
The total landing distance was 1,448 meters, which is 43% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the pilot was able to smoothly transition the aircraft from the approach to the landing and minimize the impact on the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout and bring it to a stop in a safe and controlled manner. Overall, the landing was a success, and the pilot demonstrated a high level of proficiency in their skills.
