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 1,737 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,737 m of the 2,914 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 737 m past the threshold — beyond 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 10 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, Vueling's EC-MGZ, then departed from runway 15 at LFSB EuroAirport Basel-Mulhouse-Freiburg. The takeoff distance was 1,847 meters, which accounted for 66% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 159 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 6 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 3 knots at 259 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 3 knots and a tailwind of 1 knot. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead Hesingue in Grand Est, France. During this phase, the aircraft climbed from an altitude of 1,901 feet above sea level to 31,782 feet above sea level, an increase of 29,881 feet in 15 minutes, covering a distance of 83 nautical miles.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, starting 1 mile south east of Cize in Bourgogne-Franche-Comte, France. This phase lasted for 32 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 240 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting 37 miles south of Port-Saint-Louis-du-Rhone in Provence-Alpes-Cote d'Azur, France. The descent from 32,846 feet above sea level to 25,163 feet above sea level, a decrease of 7,683 feet in 7 minutes, covered a distance of 50 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, starting 21 miles east of Cadaques in Catalunya, Spain. This phase lasted for 2 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 10 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent again, starting 16 miles east of l'Estartit in Catalunya, Spain. The descent from 24,576 feet above sea level to 3,968 feet above sea level, a decrease of 20,608 feet in 15 minutes, covered a distance of 68 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, starting 9 miles south east of el Besos i el Maresme in Catalunya, Spain. This phase lasted for 2 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 6 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent once more, starting 10 miles south east of Vilassar de Mar in Catalunya, Spain. The descent from 3,966 feet above sea level to 2,265 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,701 feet in 3 minutes, covered a distance of 4 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, starting 6 miles south east of Vilassar de Mar in Catalunya, Spain. This phase lasted for 3 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 12 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 3 miles south east of la Vila Olimpica del Poblenou in Catalunya, Spain. The descent from 2,261 feet above sea level to 1,295 feet above sea level, a decrease of 966 feet in 2 minutes, covered a distance of 4 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 24R at LEBL Josep Tarradellas Barcelona-El Prat Airport, approaching from the north east at a heading of 246.0 degrees and 4 nautical miles from the runway. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 13 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 5 knots at
The aircraft, Vueling EC-MGZ, successfully landed on runway 24R at LEBL Josep Tarradellas Barcelona-El Prat Airport, achieving a score of 83.3%. The final approach was initiated from the north east, heading 246.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,276 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a good threshold height and speed, touching down at 137 knots.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 322 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, with a speed of 125 knots. However, the touchdown rate was fair at -240 feet per minute (fpm), indicating a slightly higher rate of descent than ideal. The runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned by 24.2 meters from the centerline, which may have contributed to the subsequent rollout alignment issues.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 13°C and a wind speed of 5 knots from 320°. This resulted in a crosswind of 5 knots and a headwind of 1 knot, which may have affected the aircraft's alignment during rollout. The total landing distance was 1,658 meters, accounting for 57% of the runway length. Unfortunately, the runway rollout alignment was also misaligned by 26.3 meters from the centerline, indicating a potential issue with the aircraft's directional control during the landing phase.
Overall, while the landing was successful, there were some areas for improvement, particularly with regards to alignment and touchdown rate. However, the aircraft's score of 83.3% suggests that the pilot performed well under the given conditions.
