Landing on runway 32R at LEMD Barajas in the Airbus A320

Landing Score 80.5 %

Landing Summary

First and foremost, I would like to commend the pilot for successfully completing the landing despite facing numerous challenges during the approach and touchdown phases. Achieving a landing score of 80.5% is no easy feat, and it is a testament to the pilot's skill and expertise.

Moving forward, it is important to address the issues identified during the landing. The poor descent path below the glideslope limit during the Approach Phase and the significantly below target threshold height during the Landing Phase are areas that require improvement. Ensuring a stable descent and maintaining the correct altitude throughout the approach will greatly contribute to a smoother landing.

Additionally, the very poor landing flare during the Landing Phase and the very hard touchdown rate in the Touchdown Phase are points of concern. Properly executing the landing flare and ensuring a smooth touchdown are essential for a successful landing. Furthermore, maintaining the correct touchdown speed and distance within the touchdown zone and closer to the runway centreline are crucial for safe landings.

Lastly, it is important to note the landing with an 11 kn tailwind, which can significantly impact the aircraft's performance during landing. It is vital to always adhere to recommended landing procedures and guidelines to ensure a safe and successful landing.

Overall, while there are areas for improvement, it is important to recognize the achievements made during the landing. By addressing the identified issues and focusing on enhancing skills and techniques, the pilot can continue to strive for excellence in future landings. Keep up the good work and continue to prioritize safety and precision in all flight operations.
