The flight in question was operated by an Airbus A320 aircraft. The enroute climb phase began approximately 1 mile south east of Campo di Volo Sangermano Valcanneto, a location situated in the Lazio region of Italy. During this phase, the aircraft ascended from an initial altitude of 3,192 feet above sea level to 3,177 feet above sea level, resulting in a net increase of 14 feet in just 2 minutes. The climb covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered the enroute descent phase, which started 1 mile north east of Campo di Volo Aerdomus Valcanneto, another location in the Lazio region. During this phase, the aircraft descended from an initial altitude of 3,150 feet above sea level to 2,238 feet above sea level, resulting in a net decrease of 912 feet in just 2 minutes. The descent covered a distance of approximately 4 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise phase was initiated 4 miles south east of Campo di Volo Aerdomus Valcanneto and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. This phase was a brief period of steady altitude and airspeed.
The final approach to runway 16R at Rome–Fiumicino Leonardo da Vinci International Airport was conducted from the north, with the aircraft heading 162.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,779 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 16R, which has a length of 3,905 meters, was characterized by an excessively high threshold height at 104 feet above ground level, a threshold speed that was well above the target value at 142 knots, and a touchdown point that was 362 meters beyond the touchdown zone.
The touchdown speed of 144 knots was also too fast, and the touchdown rate was heavy at -607 feet per minute. Furthermore, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 12.3 meters from the centreline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 10 degrees Celsius, a wind speed of 5 knots at 71 degrees, with a crosswind of 5 knots and a headwind of 0 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,503 meters, which accounted for 38% of the runway length. Additionally, the runway rollout alignment was misaligned by 16.4 meters from the centreline. The total flight distance was 10 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 5 minutes, during which the aircraft consumed -1 kilogram of fuel.

The Airbus A320 aircraft has successfully landed at LIRF Rome–Fiumicino Leonardo da Vinci International Airport, but the landing was not without its issues. The final approach to runway 16R was initiated from the north, heading 162.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,779 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's performance during the landing was evaluated, and it was found that the threshold height at 104 feet agl was excessively over the target, indicating that the aircraft touched down higher than it should have.
Furthermore, the threshold speed was well above the target at 142 knots, which is faster than the recommended speed for landing. This excessive speed could have contributed to the subsequent issues during the landing. The touchdown point was 362 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a significant deviation from the intended landing spot. Additionally, the touchdown speed of 144 knots was too fast, and the touchdown rate of -607 feet per minute (fpm) was heavy, indicating a hard landing.
The runway touchdown position was also misaligned by 12.3 meters from the centerline, which could have made the landing more challenging. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 10°C and a wind speed of 5 knots at 71°. However, the crosswind component was 5 knots, and the headwind component was 0 knots, which may have contributed to the difficulties during the landing.
The total landing distance was 1,503 meters, which is 38% of the runway length. This is a relatively long landing distance, indicating that the aircraft may have taken some time to come to a stop after touchdown. The runway rollout alignment was also misaligned by 16.4 meters from the centerline, which could have made it more difficult for the pilots to control the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, while the Airbus A320 aircraft successfully landed at LIRF Rome–Fiumicino Leonardo da Vinci International Airport, the landing was not without its issues. The excessive threshold height, speed, and touchdown rate, combined with the misaligned touchdown point and runway rollout alignment, suggest that the pilots may have encountered some difficulties during the landing.
