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 1,946 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 251 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in question was operated by an Airbus A320 aircraft. The aircraft began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 11 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 21R at Gran Canaria Airport (GCLP), with the aircraft taking off after covering a distance of 892 meters, which was 29% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 147 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it encountered a local weather condition of 18°C temperature and a wind speed of 1 knot at 270 degrees. The crosswind was 1 knot, and the headwind was 0 knots. The enroute climb started 2 miles south east of Ingenio, where the aircraft climbed from 1,078 feet above sea level to 19,972 feet above sea level, an increase of 18,894 feet in 8 minutes and covering a distance of 39 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began its descent, starting 30 miles west of Costa Calma, where it descended from 19,978 feet above sea level to 13,076 feet above sea level, a decrease of 6,902 feet in 3 minutes and covering a distance of 23 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise started 18 miles north west of Pajara and lasted 3 minutes, covering a distance of 23 nautical miles.
The aircraft continued its descent, starting 8 miles north west of El Cotillo, where it descended from 13,000 feet above sea level to 4,008 feet above sea level, a decrease of 8,991 feet in 7 minutes and covering a distance of 33 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise started 3 miles north of Soo and lasted 2 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began another descent, starting 1 mile south of Haria, where it descended from 3,894 feet above sea level to 755 feet above sea level, a decrease of 3,139 feet in 5 minutes and covering a distance of 9 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise started 1 mile east of San Bartolome and lasted 2 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles.
The aircraft continued its climb, starting 1 mile south west of César Manrique-Lanzarote Airport San Bartolomé, where it climbed from 814 feet above sea level to 5,984 feet above sea level, an increase of 5,170 feet in 3 minutes and covering a distance of 10 nautical miles. The enroute descent started 1 mile north west of Tinajo, where it descended from 5,972 feet above sea level to 4,053 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,919 feet in 2 minutes and covering a distance of 6 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began another level cruise, starting 2 miles north of Soo and lasting 2 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles. The enroute descent started 1 mile south of Haria, where it descended from 3,855 feet above sea level to 873 feet above sea level, a decrease of 2,982 feet in 5 minutes and covering a distance of 9 nautical miles.
The aircraft continued its climb, starting 1 mile south east of San Bartolome, where it climbed from 857 feet above sea level to 7,253 feet above sea level, an increase of 6,395 feet in 5 minutes and covering a distance of 11 nautical miles. The enroute descent started 1 mile south west of Yaiza, where it descended from 7,288 feet above sea level to 1,068 feet above sea level
The Airbus A320 aircraft successfully landed on runway 19 at Fuerteventura Airport (GCFV), but the landing was not without its issues. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the north, heading 186.0° at 1 nautical mile and 335 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach score was 74.7%, indicating a decent but not exceptional landing performance.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was 141 knots, which was faster than the target speed. This resulted in a heavy touchdown rate of -675 feet per minute (fpm), indicating a relatively hard landing. The touchdown distance of 248 meters was within acceptable limits, but the runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned by 27.7 meters from the centerline. This misalignment could have been due to various factors, including pilot error or a deviation from the standard approach procedure.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from 270°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind component and no headwind. The runway length was 1,946 meters, which is sufficient for most commercial aircraft, including the Airbus A320.
The total landing distance of 783 meters was 40% of the runway length, which is within acceptable limits. However, the runway rollout alignment was excessively misaligned by 181.8 meters from the centerline. This misalignment could have been due to the pilot's difficulty in controlling the aircraft's direction during the rollout phase.
Overall, while the landing was not perfect, the aircraft was able to safely touch down on the runway and come to a stop without any major issues. However, the pilot's performance could be improved by addressing the issues of misaligned touchdown and rollout positions.
