Departure
Use coordinated aileron input to level the wings and hold bank angle close to wings-level during the climb.
What happened: During the initial climb, your average bank angle drifted to 3.4°.
Watch for: Attitude indicator, bank angle near wings-level
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.

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 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,194 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 479 m touchdown sits inside 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 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, an Airbus A320, then departed from runway 03L at GCLP Gran Canaria Airport, a location situated on the island of Gran Canaria in the Canary Islands, Spain. The takeoff distance was 1,011 meters, which accounted for 33% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 151 knots.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it encountered favorable local weather conditions, with a temperature of 23 degrees Celsius and a headwind of 19 knots. The aircraft continued to climb, reaching an altitude of 9,728 feet above sea level, an increase of 8,719 feet from its initial altitude of 1,008 feet. This climb phase took just 3 minutes and covered a distance of 11 nautical miles.
Once the aircraft had reached its cruising altitude, it entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 23 minutes and covered a distance of 115 nautical miles. This phase began 9 miles northeast of GCLP Gran Canaria Airport. The aircraft then began its descent, which started 17 miles south of Playa de las Americas, another location in the Canary Islands, Spain. The descent took 12 minutes and covered a distance of 46 nautical miles, during which the aircraft decreased its altitude from 10,009 feet to 2,674 feet.
Following the descent, the aircraft entered another level cruise phase, which lasted for just 3 minutes and covered a distance of 7 nautical miles. This phase began 5 miles south of Playa de las Americas. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 07 at GCTS Tenerife Sur Airport, which it approached from the southwest. The aircraft was at an altitude of 1,301 feet above ground level and was 4 nautical miles from the runway.
The aircraft landed on runway 07 at GCTS Tenerife Sur Airport, which had a length of 3,194 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 130 knots. The touchdown point was 52 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 119 knots, which was a little fast. However, the touchdown rate was firm at -372 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The aircraft then taxied to the parking area, which took 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 187 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 53 minutes. The aircraft used 1,747 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at GCTS Tenerife Sur Airport, achieving a high score of 97.5%. The aircraft approached the runway from the southwest, heading 68.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,301 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with precision, and the aircraft landed on runway 07, which has a length of 3,194 meters.
The threshold height was satisfactory, but the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 130 knots. This minor deviation did not significantly impact the overall performance of the landing. The touchdown point was 52 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The touchdown speed of 119 knots was a bit faster than the ideal speed, but the touchdown rate of -372 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, indicating a controlled descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 21°C and a wind speed of 21 knots at 80°. The crosswind component was minimal at 4 knots, while the headwind component was 21 knots, which helped to reduce the landing distance. The total landing distance of 1,097 meters was 34% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll.
The runway rollout alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's skill and control during the landing phase. Overall, the Airbus A320 performed well during the landing at GCTS Tenerife Sur Airport, with only minor deviations from the ideal performance.
