Flight Score
Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.
What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 5.7 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Keep the back pressure coming through the flare so the sink does not return at 123 fpm.
What happened: The flare arrested the sink, but then the sink returned before touchdown.
Watch for: Watch the VSI in the flare and keep arrested sink from returning before touchdown at 274 fpm.
See Arrival Landing
Twenty knots on a monitor produces the visual sensation of about ten. The advice to "taxi at a walking pace" cannot fix this, because your sense of walking pace is exactly the thing that's broken. Put the groundspeed readout in your scan and obey it for the next fifty flights, the way a student pilot leans on the airspeed indicator before learning to read attitude.

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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,632 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,632 m of the 3,202 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 501 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Milan Malpensa International Airport, the Boeing 737-800 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 9 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. As the aircraft lined up on runway 35R, the crew initiated the departure roll, and the aircraft lifted off the ground after a takeoff distance of 1,312 meters, which accounted for 44% of the available runway length. The liftoff speed was 148 knots, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 13°C, a wind speed of 6 knots from 350°, with no crosswind but a 6-knot headwind.
As the aircraft climbed away from Milan, it began its enroute climb approximately 1 mile southwest of Casorate Sempione, Italy. The climb phase was notable for its steep ascent, reaching an altitude of 11,509 meters above sea level, an increase of 10,970.8 meters, in just 23 minutes and covering a distance of 151 nautical miles. Following this climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 72 minutes and covered a distance of 560 nautical miles, 2 miles west of Ostellato, Italy. The enroute descent phase began approximately 4 miles southeast of Palamas, Greece, and saw the aircraft descend from 11,540 meters to 470 meters above sea level, a decrease of 11,070.0 meters, in 26 minutes and covering 147 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, Athens Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport, it began its final approach to runway 03L from the southwest, heading 37.0° at 4 nautical miles and 378.0 meters above ground level. The landing was executed with a threshold speed slightly above the target at 140 knots, and the touchdown point was 82 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 134 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was smooth at -0.6 meters per second, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.8 meters from the centerline. The total landing distance was 1,549 meters, accounting for 48% of the available runway length. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took 6 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 867 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 136 minutes, with a fuel consumption of 5,217 kilograms.
The Boeing 737-800 touched down on runway 03L at LGAV Athens Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport with a threshold height that met the desired standards. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 140 kt, indicating a slight deviation from the optimal approach speed. The aircraft maintained a smooth touchdown rate of -0.6 m/s, which is indicative of a well-executed landing.
The touchdown point was located 82 m beyond the touchdown zone, suggesting a slightly long touchdown. The touchdown speed of 134 kt was also a little fast, which may have contributed to the extended touchdown distance. Despite this, the runway touchdown position was only slightly misaligned by 5.8 m from the centreline, demonstrating good control and alignment during the approach. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 4 °C and a gentle headwind of 1 kt, did not appear to have a significant impact on the landing.
The total landing distance of 1,549 m was 48% of the runway length, which is within acceptable limits. The runway rollout alignment was very good, with the aircraft maintaining a consistent path along the centreline. Overall, the landing was executed well, with a score of 98.2% reflecting the high standard of performance.
