Flight Score
Departure
Apply small rudder corrections against a point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline during the roll.
What happened: The aircraft tracked 13 m off the runway centreline during the ground roll, and flights with this pattern usually carry extra bank, around 5.6°, into the first climb.
Watch for: Heading indicator: wings level, tracking the runway centreline
Arrival
Hold the back pressure smoothly through the moment of touchdown and let the mainwheels settle without relaxing or adding a second pitch input.
What happened: The approach and flare both stayed within limits, yet the aircraft bounced at touchdown.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a steady, continuous sink through to touchdown with no second pitch input.
A small uncorrected heading error at 40 knots becomes a metre of offset per second by 100 knots, noticed only at rotation, producing a crabbed liftoff. Root cause is nearly always eyes on the tape instead of the far end of the runway. Small heading changes displace a distant point visibly long before the nearby centreline stripes look wrong.

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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,712 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,712 m of the 3,130 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 500 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Boeing 737-800 taxied from the parking area to runway 25 at LIBD Bari Karol Wojtyła Airport in eight minutes, covering a distance of 2 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 25, the aircraft accelerated to a liftoff speed of 157 kt and left the ground after traveling 1,856 m, which represented 62 % of the runway length. Ambient conditions were a temperature of 28 °C with wind from 189° at 5 kt, providing a 3 kt headwind and a 5 kt cross-wind component.
The climb commenced one mile north-east of Bitonto, Puglia, and the aircraft rose from 1,141 ft asl to 31,005 ft asl, an altitude gain of 29,864 ft achieved in 15 minutes while covering 84 nm.
Level cruise began one mile north-west of Monteforte Cilento, Campania, and persisted for eight minutes, during which the airplane traversed 55 nm.
Descent operations started 43 miles south-west of Acciaroli, Campania, with the aircraft descending from 30,590 ft asl to 1,386 ft asl, a loss of 29,204 ft over 22 minutes and a distance of 109 nm.
The final approach to runway 25 at LICJ Falcone-Borsellino Airport was conducted from the north-east on a heading of 247.0°, intercepting the approach at 4 nm and 1,336 ft agl.
Landing on runway 25, which is 3,130 m long, occurred with a threshold speed of 145 kt, slightly above the target. Touchdown was recorded 88 m beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 140 kt, with a vertical speed of minus 182 fpm. The touchdown point was offset by 3.6 m from the centreline. Local weather reported a temperature of 29 °C, wind from 20° at 5 kt, a 4 kt cross-wind and a 4 kt tail-wind component. The total landing distance measured 1,635 m, representing 52 % of the runway.
Runway rollout alignment was assessed as very good.
The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in five minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 258 nm, taking 59, and consumed 2,515 kg of fuel.
The Boeing 737-800 on a final approach to runway 25 at LICJ Falcone-Borsellino Airport maintained a heading of 247.0° at 4 nm and 1,336 ft agl; the flight received a score of 97.8 %. The approach was assessed as unstable at the 1,000 ft gate: sink rate too high. Local weather was temperature 29 °C, wind 5 kt at 20 °, crosswind 4 kt and tailwind 4 kt.
At threshold the aircraft displayed good threshold height. The threshold speed was slightly above target at 145 kt.
Touchdown occurred 88 m beyond the touchdown zone with a speed of 140 kt that was a little fast. The touchdown rate was good at -182 fpm and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.6 m from centreline.
The rollout covered a total landing distance of 1,635 m, representing 52 % of the 3,130 m runway, and runway rollout alignment was very good.
Reduce sink rate to achieve a stable approach before the 1,000 ft gate and trim speed to the target to avoid the slight excess at touchdown. Align the aircraft more closely with the centreline to eliminate the 3.6 m offset.
