Improve the taxi
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.
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 3,195 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 343 m touchdown sits inside 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 8 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles.
Departure from Jerez Airport (LEJR) took place on runway 20, with a takeoff distance of 1,458 meters, which accounted for 63% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 153 knots. At the time of departure, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 20°C, with a wind speed of 9 knots at a direction of 170°. This resulted in a crosswind of 5 knots and a headwind of 7 knots.
Following departure, the aircraft began its enroute climb, which started 1 mile south of Jerez Airport. The climb took place from an altitude of 1,068 feet above sea level to 37,651 feet above sea level, an increase of 36,583 feet, in 18 minutes and covering a distance of 93 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise phase began 1 mile north of Alcaucin, Andalusia, and lasted for 29 minutes, covering a distance of 218 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a descent phase, which started 1 mile south of Catadau, Comunitat Valenciana, and took place from an altitude of 37,966 feet above sea level to 20,681 feet above sea level, a decrease of 17,285 feet, in 11 minutes and covering a distance of 77 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 24 miles northwest of Cala de Portinatx, Comunitat Autonoma de les Illes Balears, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 10 nautical miles. This was followed by a descent phase, which started 17 miles northwest of Cala de Portinatx and took place from an altitude of 20,235 feet above sea level to 11,124 feet above sea level, a decrease of 9,111 feet, in 5 minutes and covering a distance of 30 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 20 miles west of Camp de Mar, Comunitat Autonoma de les Illes Balears, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 8 nautical miles. This was followed by a descent phase, which started 12 miles west of Camp de Mar and took place from an altitude of 10,560 feet above sea level to 1,292 feet above sea level, a decrease of 9,267 feet, in 7 minutes and covering a distance of 22 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 06L at Palma de Mallorca Airport (LEPA) took place from the southwest, with a heading of 58.0° at an altitude of 1,268 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway threshold.
The landing on runway 06L took place with a threshold speed of 134 knots, which was considered good. The touchdown distance was also good, at 344 meters, and the touchdown speed was 129 knots. The touchdown rate was smooth, at -134 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline, by 3.7 meters.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 13°C, with a wind speed of 2 knots at a direction of 68°. This resulted in a crosswind of 0 knots and a headwind of 2 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,376 meters, which accounted for 43% of the runway
Aircraft Vueling EC-MGZ successfully landed at LEPA Palma de Mallorca Airport, achieving a high score of 99.5%. The final approach to runway 06L was conducted from the southwest, with a heading of 58.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,268 feet above ground level.
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a good threshold height, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 134 knots. The touchdown distance was within acceptable limits at 344 meters, and the touchdown speed was 129 knots, which is also considered good. The touchdown rate was smooth, with a descent rate of -134 feet per minute.
However, there was a slight deviation in the runway touchdown position, with the aircraft being 3.7 meters off-centerline. This minor discrepancy did not seem to affect the overall performance of the landing. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were mild, with a temperature of 13°C and a gentle wind of 2 knots from a direction of 68°. The crosswind component was negligible, and the aircraft was aided by a 2-knot headwind.
The total landing distance was 1,376 meters, which is approximately 43% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was well-controlled throughout the descent and touchdown phases. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, suggesting that the pilot maintained a high level of control and precision during the landing. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft touching down smoothly and coming to a stop in a controlled manner.
