Work on the flare
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.

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 1,925 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,925 m of the 2,914 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 787 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 8 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, Vueling EC-MGZ, then departed from runway 05 at Houari Boumediene Airport (DAAG) in Algeria. The takeoff distance was 1,719 meters, which accounted for 49% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 168 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it started its enroute climb 1 mile south west of Rouiba, Algeria. The climb was from 1,118 feet above sea level to 33,422 feet above sea level, an increase of 32,305 feet in 17 minutes, covering a distance of 97 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered its enroute level cruise, which started 51 miles south east of La Savina, Spain, and lasted for 12 minutes, covering 79 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began its enroute descent 11 miles north of Cala de Portinatx, Spain. The descent was from 33,368 feet above sea level to 24,086 feet above sea level, a decrease of 9,283 feet in 7 minutes, covering 49 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another enroute level cruise, which started 40 miles south east of Deltebre Airport, Spain, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering 10 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began another enroute descent 32 miles south east of Deltebre Airport, Spain. The descent was from 23,751 feet above sea level to 4,077 feet above sea level, a decrease of 19,674 feet in 14 minutes, covering 75 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another enroute level cruise, which started 12 miles south east of la Barceloneta, Spain, and lasted for 5 minutes, covering 17 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began another enroute descent 10 miles south of Canet de Mar, Spain. The descent was from 3,892 feet above sea level to 2,289 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,602 feet in 2 minutes, covering 5 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another enroute level cruise, which started 6 miles south east of Arenys de Mar, Spain, and lasted for 7 minutes, covering 21 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 24R at Barcelona-El Prat Airport (LEBL) was from the north east, heading 246.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,282 feet above ground level. The aircraft landed on runway 24R, which had a length of 2,914 meters. The threshold height was slightly above the target, but the threshold speed was good at 142 knots.
The touchdown point was 368 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 131 knots, which was good. The touchdown rate was smooth at -149 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions were a temperature of 7 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 7 knots at 340 degrees. The crosswind was 7 knots, and the tailwind was 1 knot.
The total landing distance was 1,842 meters, which accounted for 63% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 362 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 78 minutes. The aircraft used 3,487 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The aircraft, Vueling EC-MGZ, successfully landed at LEBL Josep Tarradellas Barcelona-El Prat Airport, achieving a score of 94.1%. The final approach to runway 24R was initiated from the north east, with the aircraft heading 246.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,282 feet above ground level (agl).
The landing was executed on runway 24R, which has a length of 2,914 meters. The threshold height at 56 feet agl was slightly above the target, but the threshold speed was good at 142 knots. The touchdown point was 368 meters beyond the touchdown zone, indicating a slight overrun. However, the touchdown speed of 131 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -149 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 7°C and a wind speed of 7 knots from 340°. The crosswind component was 7 knots, while the tailwind component was 1 knot. Despite these conditions, the aircraft maintained a very good runway touchdown alignment.
The total landing distance was 1,842 meters, which corresponds to 63% of the runway length. This indicates that the aircraft had sufficient runway remaining for safe deceleration. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, suggesting that the aircraft was well under control during the landing roll.
Overall, the landing of Vueling EC-MGZ at LEBL Josep Tarradellas Barcelona-El Prat Airport was a successful one, with the aircraft achieving a high score and demonstrating good handling and control throughout the landing process.
