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 9.9 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Fly the flare as one continuous check of the sink rate from 26 ft, holding back pressure steadily rather than adjusting pitch piecemeal.
What happened: The flare drifted away from its intended profile rather than tracking it smoothly from 26 ft down to touchdown.
Watch for: Watch radio altitude and VSI through the flare, aiming to arrest the sink smoothly from 26 ft to touchdown.
See Arrival Landing
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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,554 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,554 m of the 3,403 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 502 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 3 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The Airbus A320 then departed from runway 36L at LGRX Patras Araxos Agamemnon Airport, with a takeoff distance of 1,887 meters, which accounted for 64% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 161 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 36 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 8 knots from a direction of 319 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 5 knots and a headwind of 5 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile west of Lakkopetra in Western Greece. The climb took 8 minutes and covered a distance of 29 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 1,030 feet above sea level to 19,491 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 6 miles southwest of LGP5 KALAVRITA KALAVRITA in Western Greece. This phase lasted for 7 minutes and covered a distance of 47 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 3 miles east of Aria in the Peloponnese region of Greece. The descent took 13 minutes and covered a distance of 50 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from an altitude of 19,215 feet to 1,561 feet.
The final approach to runway 03R at LGAV Athens Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport was made from the southwest, with a heading of 37.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,276 feet above ground level. The aircraft landed on the runway, which had a length of 3,403 meters. The touchdown point was 88 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 133 knots, which was slightly faster than the recommended speed. However, the touchdown rate was good at -156 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 29 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 18 knots from a direction of 350 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 13 knots and a headwind of 12 knots. The total landing distance was 1,475 meters, which accounted for 43% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect. After landing, the aircraft taxiied to the parking area, a process that took 6 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 136 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 43 minutes. The aircraft used 1,617 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed on runway 03R at LGAV Athens Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport, showcasing a high level of precision and control. The aircraft approached the runway from the southwest, heading 37.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,276 feet above ground level (agl). This approach was executed with a high degree of accuracy, as evident from the final approach score of 99.5%.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down at a speed of 133 knots, which was slightly above the recommended threshold speed of 137 knots. However, the touchdown rate of -156 feet per minute (fpm) was within the acceptable range, indicating a controlled descent. The touchdown point was located 88 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 29°C and a wind speed of 18 knots from a direction of 350°. This resulted in a crosswind of 13 knots and a headwind of 12 knots, which the pilots effectively managed during the landing process. The runway length of 3,403 meters provided a sufficient margin for the aircraft to come to a stop, with a total landing distance of 1,475 meters, accounting for 43% of the runway.
The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown. Similarly, the runway rollout alignment was also perfect, demonstrating the pilots' ability to maintain control and stability during the post-landing phase. Overall, the landing was executed with a high degree of precision and control, reflecting the skills and expertise of the pilots involved.
