Flight Score
Departure
Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.
What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 3.9°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
Arrival
In the flare, rotate the nose further and keep the back pressure coming until the sink is fully arrested, rather than flying it onto the runway.
What happened: The nose was raised only 1.6° and just 243 fpm of sink was taken out, so the aircraft was flown onto the runway instead of flared; flying it on like this usually carries a bounce through to touchdown.
Watch for: Attitude indicator: hold the normal flare pitch through touchdown.
Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without it.

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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,549 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,549 m of the 2,883 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 61 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Naples International Airport (LIRN), the Airbus A319 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took approximately 8 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. Upon reaching runway 24, the aircraft initiated its departure roll, accelerating down the 1,175-meter-long runway, which represented 58% of its total length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 149 knots, overcoming the negligible headwind of 2 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of LIRN, it began its enroute climb phase, which started overhead Vicaria, Campania, Italy. The aircraft ascended from an initial altitude of 1,260 feet above sea level to a cruising altitude of 37,393 feet, a vertical increase of 36,133 feet, in 21 minutes and covering a distance of 121 nautical miles. Following a 61-minute cruise phase, during which the aircraft flew level at an altitude of 37,393 feet, covering a distance of 448 nautical miles, the enroute descent phase commenced overhead Trouhans, Bourgogne-Franche-Comte, France. The aircraft descended from 38,025 feet to 1,591 feet above sea level, a decrease of 36,435 feet, in 30 minutes and covering a distance of 162 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 25 at Paris-Orly Airport (LFPO) was initiated from the east, with the aircraft flying at an altitude of 1,299 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway threshold. The aircraft landed on the 2,883-meter-long runway, with a touchdown distance of 1,461 meters, representing 51% of the runway length. The touchdown speed was slightly above the recommended threshold speed, at 127 knots, resulting in a firm touchdown rate of -304 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned from the centerline, by 16.2 meters. Following a short taxiing period of 2 minutes, covering less than 1 nautical mile, the aircraft arrived at the parking area, having completed a total flight distance of 739 nautical miles, using 4,576 kilograms of fuel in the process, and taking a total of 126 minutes to complete the journey.
The aircraft touched down on runway 25 at LFPO Paris-Orly Airport with a threshold height that met the desired standards. The threshold speed of 128 kt was also within the acceptable range, indicating a well-executed approach. However, the touchdown speed of 127 kt was slightly above the optimal value, resulting in a firm touchdown rate of -304 fpm.
The aircraft's touchdown distance of 50 m was satisfactory, but the significant misalignment of 16.2 m from the centreline at touchdown and the subsequent runway rollout alignment of 16.1 m from centreline, highlighted a deviation from the desired centreline path. This misalignment may have been influenced by the prevailing wind conditions, with a crosswind of 4 kt and a headwind of 3 kt. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 11 °C and a wind direction of 199 °, also played a role in the approach and landing.
The total landing distance of 1,461 m, accounting for 51% of the runway length, was within the acceptable range. Overall, the landing performance scored 83.8%, indicating a satisfactory but not exceptional execution of the approach and landing phases.
