Flight Score
Be on speed by the gate
Next time
Reduce power on approach to bring speed back to 117 kt; correcting it early stops it carrying to the threshold and beyond.
What happened: The approach ran fast on speed, and that excess was still present at the threshold, crossing at 140 kt against a target of 117 kt; carrying that much extra speed usually carries the touchdown long.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator against 117 kt on approach, and threshold speed against 117 kt at the threshold.
Departure
Rotate the moment the speed tape reaches 140 kt, not after it.
What happened: Rotation was held until 157 kt, 17 kt past the 140 kt rotation target. Carrying that much extra speed into rotation usually adds unwanted energy right at liftoff.
Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

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 305 m and 152 m above the runway. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
At the 305 m gate: speed 51 kt FAST on the reference speed of 117 kt.
At the 152 m gate: speed 45 kt FAST on the reference speed of 117 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,868 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,868 m of the 2,791 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,184 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Airbus A320-ceo taxied from the parking area to runway 27 at Bristol Airport in 9 minutes, covering approximately 1 nm.
The aircraft commenced its departure roll on runway 27, achieving a takeoff distance of 1,006 m (53 % of the runway) and lifting off at 157 kt. Ambient conditions were 19 °C with a wind of 12 kt from 240°, including a 5 kt cross-wind component and an 11 kt head-wind component.
The first climb began 1 mile north-east of Wrington, rising from 438 m asl to 1,400 m asl - an increase of 961.4 m - in 1 minute while covering 4 nm.
A subsequent climb started overhead Tickenham, ascending from 1,222 m asl to 10,671 m asl, a gain of 9,448.9 m achieved in 15 minutes over a distance of 96 nm.
The initial cruise segment was established 1 mile south-west of Singleton, lasting 85 minutes and encompassing 639 nm.
The first descent commenced 1 mile south of Kingston Seymour, descending from 1,398 m asl to 1,223 m asl - a loss of 175.2 m - in 2 minutes while covering 7 nm.
A second descent began 45 miles south of Castelldefels, dropping from 10,570 m asl to 8,222 m asl, a decrease of 2,348.4 m in 5 minutes and spanning 37 nm.
The next cruise phase originated 14 miles north-west of Banyalbufar, lasting 2 minutes and covering 12 nm.
The third descent started 3 miles north-west of Estellencs, falling from 8,232 m asl to 1,222 m asl - a loss of 7,010.4 m - in 15 minutes over 86 nm.
A brief cruise followed 11 miles west of La Savina, lasting 3 minutes and covering 12 nm.
The fourth descent began 19 miles south-west of Es Cubells, descending from 1,222 m asl to 810 m asl, a reduction of 411.4 m in 2 minutes across 6 nm.
The final cruise segment was established 13 miles south-west of Es Cubells, lasting 4 minutes and covering 13 nm.
During final approach to runway 06 at Ibiza Airport, the aircraft approached from the south-west on a heading of 62.0° at 4 nm and 386.7 m agl.
The landing on runway 06 (length 2,791 m) recorded a threshold speed of 140 kt, with touchdown occurring 765 m beyond the touchdown zone at 118 kt and a smooth touchdown rate of minus 0.7 m/s. Alignment at touchdown was very good; local weather was 31 °C with a wind of 9 kt from 99°, a 5 kt cross-wind and a 7 kt head-wind. Total landing distance was 1,785 m (64 % of runway), and the rollout was offset 15.0 m from the centreline.
The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 5 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
Overall, the flight covered 920 nm, lasted 145 (units as reported), and consumed 5,323 kg of fuel.
