Improve the rollout
Ground control varies with speed, full authority at walking pace, progressively reducing as groundspeed rises. The aircraft becomes twitchy at any speed, every small pedal input swings the nose, which can encourage large-amplitude leg inputs that no real aircraft would accept.

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 2,914 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 268 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 9 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles.
As the aircraft prepared for departure, it rolled down runway 20 at LEJR Jerez Airport, a 1,452-meter runway that was utilized for 63% of its length. The takeoff distance was sufficient, and the aircraft lifted off at a speed of 150 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 37 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 12 knots at 150 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 9 knots and a headwind of 8 knots.
Following a successful takeoff, the aircraft began its enroute climb, which started approximately 1 mile south of LEJR Jerez Airport. The climb was from an initial altitude of 1,083 feet above sea level to a maximum altitude of 34,673 feet, an increase of 33,591 feet in just 18 minutes. This climb phase covered a distance of 95 nautical miles.
Once the aircraft reached its cruising altitude, it entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 34 minutes and covered a distance of 264 nautical miles. This phase began approximately 2 miles northeast of Alcaucin, Andalusia, Spain.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its enroute descent, which started approximately 1 mile north of Castello de la Plana, Comunitat Valenciana, Spain. The descent was from an altitude of 34,708 feet to 25,850 feet, a decrease of 8,857 feet in just 8 minutes. This phase covered a distance of 58 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 10 nautical miles. This phase began approximately 5 miles northeast of LEDT Deltebre Airport, Deltebre, Catalunya, Spain.
As the aircraft continued its descent, it began another phase, which started approximately 16 miles east of LEDT Deltebre Airport. The descent was from an altitude of 25,819 feet to 4,163 feet, a decrease of 21,656 feet in 14 minutes. This phase covered a distance of 68 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which lasted for 5 minutes and covered a distance of 12 nautical miles. This phase began approximately 9 miles southeast of el Besos i el Maresme, Catalunya, Spain.
As the aircraft approached its final destination, it began its final descent, which started approximately 7 miles south of Arenys de Mar, Catalunya, Spain. The descent was from an altitude of 3,653 feet to 2,363 feet, a decrease of 1,290 feet in just 2 minutes. This phase covered a distance of 6 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which lasted for 5 minutes and covered a distance of 14 nautical miles. This phase began approximately 5 miles southeast of Vilassar de Mar, Catalunya, Spain.
The final approach to runway 24R at LEBL Josep Tarradellas Barcelona-El Prat Airport was from the northeast, with a heading of 246.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,274 feet above ground level. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 23 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 8 knots at 219 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 7 knots.
The aircraft landed safely on runway 24R, which had a length of 2,914 meters. The touchdown distance was
The aircraft, Vueling EC-MGZ, successfully landed on runway 24R at LEBL Josep Tarradellas Barcelona-El Prat Airport with a score of 87.0%. The final approach was initiated from the north east, heading 246.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,274 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a steady course throughout the approach, ultimately touching down on the runway with a speed of 136 kt, which was within the acceptable threshold speed of 138 kt.
The touchdown distance of 268 meters was also within the acceptable range, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. However, the touchdown rate was slightly harder than ideal, coming in at -467 feet per minute (fpm). This may be attributed to the aircraft's speed and altitude at the time of touchdown.
Upon landing, the aircraft's runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 6.5 meters. This may have been due to a slight deviation in the aircraft's course during the final approach or a minor error in navigation. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 23°C and a gentle headwind of 7 kt.
The crosswind component was minimal, at 3 kt, which likely contributed to the smooth landing. The total landing distance of 1,401 meters was within 48% of the runway length, indicating a controlled and efficient rollout. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 24.2 meters, which may have been due to a minor error in the aircraft's braking or steering.
Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft touching down safely and efficiently on the runway. While there were some minor deviations in the aircraft's course and alignment, the pilot's skills and the aircraft's performance were sufficient to ensure a safe and controlled landing.
