Flight Score
Departure
Raise the gear lever promptly once a positive climb is confirmed, before reaching the target retraction height.
What happened: Gear retraction was delayed, with the gear not coming up until 0 ft agl.
Watch for: Landing gear: up by the normal retraction gate
Arrival
Add power sooner on final to hold 140 kt by the stabilisation gate, not just at the threshold.
What happened: The approach was slow at the stabilisation gate, and the aircraft carried that deficit all the way to the threshold, still 9 kt below VREF; arriving that slow usually leaves little energy to cushion the flare, as it did here with a touchdown rate of 284 fpm.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 140 kt at the threshold
Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: sink rate 1,211 fpm, more than the glideslope needed and speed 6 kt SLOW on the reference speed of 140 kt.
At the 500 ft gate: speed 7 kt SLOW on the reference speed of 140 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,871 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 44 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The aircraft taxied from the parking area to runway 03R at LGAV Athens Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport, a movement that lasted 6 minutes and covered less than 1 nm.
Take-off was performed on runway 03R, with a ground roll of 1,370 m representing 37 % of the runway. Liftoff was achieved at 154 kt and the ambient temperature was 29 °C.
Climb commenced 1 mile south-west of Artemida (Attica, Greece), with the aircraft ascending from 1,220 ft asl to 17,014 ft asl, an increase of 15,794 ft in 9 minutes while covering 49 nm.
Level cruise began 18 miles south-east of Lavrio (Attica, Greece) and continued for 7 minutes, during which 53 nm were flown.
Descent was initiated 7 miles south-east of Kimolos (South Aegean, Greece), descending from 16,847 ft asl to 1,285 ft asl, a loss of 15,562 ft in 14 minutes and covering 61 nm.
The final approach to runway 33 at LGSR Santorini Airport was flown from the south on a heading of 346.0° at 4 nm and 1,195 ft agl.
Landing on runway 33 was executed with a runway length of 2,195 m; the threshold speed was 136 kt. Touchdown occurred 370 m down the runway at 129 kt with a vertical speed of minus 131 fpm. The touchdown point was offset 10.5 m from the centreline, and the local temperature remained 29 °C.
The total landing distance recorded was 967 m, representing 44 % of the runway, and the rollout was slightly misaligned by 12.0 m from the centreline.
After exiting the runway, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in 1 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 169 nm, lasted 40 minutes, and consumed 1,543 kg of fuel.
The Airbus A320 established the final approach to runway 33 at LGSR Santorini Airport from the south on a heading of 346.0° at 4 nm and 1,195 ft agl, achieving a score of 94.3 %. The approach maintained the expected glide path and the threshold height was reported as good.
At the threshold the aircraft held a speed of 136 kt, which the data rates as good, and the flare commenced with a touchdown distance of 370 m, also described as good. The aircraft remained on the intended glide path through the flare.
Touchdown occurred at a speed of 129 kt, judged good, with a smooth vertical rate of -131 fpm. The touchdown point was offset 10.5 m from the centreline, and the total landing distance measured 967 m, representing 44 % of the 2,195 m runway.
During rollout the aircraft’s alignment drifted slightly, ending 12.0 m off the centreline. No further deviations were noted.
Focus on tightening centreline tracking during the flare and rollout to reduce the 10.5 m touchdown offset and the 12.0 m rollout deviation. With a 94.3 % score the overall performance is strong; refining alignment will bring the landing to optimal precision.
