Arrival
Start the flare with progressive back pressure and keep it coming until the sink is arrested.
What happened: The aircraft was flown onto the runway: the nose was barely raised and little of the sink was taken out, touching down at 447 fpm.
Watch for: Pitch attitude: rising steadily through the flare until the sink is checked.
See Arrival Landing
Below a thousand feet the aeroplane is slow, heavy and close to the ground. A steep turn loses lift, raises the stall speed and flattens the climb just when the gradient matters most. A normal turn on course is a rate one — fifteen degrees or so, twenty-five at the outside, this penalty is to acknowledge when a turn has stopped being a turn and become a manoeuvre.

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 305 m and 152 m above the runway.
At the 305 m gate: speed below the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,914 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 445 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Airbus A320 taxiing from the parking area to the runway at EDDS Stuttgart Airport, a process that took 5 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 07, with a takeoff distance of 1,344 meters, which accounted for 44% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 157 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of Stuttgart, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead the airport and took the aircraft from an altitude of 665 meters above sea level to 11,284 meters above sea level, an increase of 10,618.7 meters in 17 minutes, covering a distance of 77 nautical miles. The local weather conditions at the time were characterized by a temperature of 23 degrees Celsius.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 1 mile south east of Wembach, Germany, and lasted for 47 minutes, covering a distance of 321 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 30 miles south of Port-Saint-Louis-du-Rhone, France, and took the aircraft from an altitude of 11,283 meters above sea level to 4,974 meters above sea level, a decrease of 6,308.8 meters in 14 minutes, covering a distance of 84 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 2 miles south east of Tamariu, Spain, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 9 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, which started 3 miles south east of S'Agaro, Spain, and took the aircraft from an altitude of 4,877 meters above sea level to 369 meters above sea level, a decrease of 4,508.2 meters in 13 minutes, covering a distance of 50 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 24R at LEBL Josep Tarradellas Barcelona-El Prat Airport was made from the north east, with a heading of 245.0 degrees at an altitude of 4 nautical miles and 363.2 meters above ground level. The landing was made on runway 24R, which had a length of 2,914 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 130 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 443 meters, and the touchdown speed was 121 knots, which was also good. The touchdown rate was good at -1.0 meters per second. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.6 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 29 degrees Celsius.
The total landing distance was 1,188 meters, which accounted for 41% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area from the runway, a process that took 7 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 548 nautical miles, and the flight took 106 minutes, using 3,324 kilograms of fuel.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed on runway 24R at LEBL Josep Tarradellas Barcelona-El Prat Airport, achieving a high score of 98.2%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north east, heading 245.0° at an altitude of 363.2 meters above ground level (agl) and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway.
The final approach was executed with precision, and the aircraft touched down on the runway with a good touchdown distance of 443 meters. The touchdown speed of 121 knots was also within the acceptable range, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown rate of -1.0 meters per second was also good, suggesting that the aircraft's rate of descent was well-managed.
However, there was a slight deviation from the centerline, with the runway touchdown position being 4.6 meters off-center. This minor misalignment may have been due to various factors, including wind or pilot error. Despite this, the runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft's trajectory after touchdown was well-controlled.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were warm, with a temperature of 29°C. This may have affected the aircraft's performance, but it did not seem to have a significant impact on the landing. Overall, the landing was executed with a high degree of precision and control, and the aircraft's performance was satisfactory.
