Flight Score
Departure
Roll the wings level with aileron and hold bank within limits as you establish the climb.
What happened: Bank increased to 1.4° during the initial climb, and wings stayed over-banked at 1.2° into the next climb segment.
Watch for: Attitude indicator bank angle, aiming to keep it near wings-level
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.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,043 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 282 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Ciampino–G. B. Pastine International Airport, the aircraft began its journey on runway 15, taking off with a liftoff speed of 115 kt after a takeoff distance of 1,611 m, which accounted for 73% of the available runway length. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 16 °C, with a wind of 11 kt at 170°, resulting in a 3 kt crosswind and an 11 kt headwind.
As the aircraft climbed to 11,044 ft asl, it underwent a series of enroute climbs and level cruises, with the first notable climb occurring 1 mile west of Castel Gandolfo, where it increased its altitude by 9,403 ft in 5 minutes, covering 15 nm. The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, lasting 14 minutes and covering 1 nm, before initiating another climb 2 miles north east of Fiumicino, which saw it reach a maximum altitude of 19,008 ft asl. The aircraft's final descent phase began 5 miles east of Ventotene, where it decreased its altitude by 2,015 ft in 2 minutes, covering 9 nm.
Upon reaching the Naples International Airport, the aircraft initiated its final approach to runway 24 from the north east, maintaining a heading of 238.0° at 4 nm and 1,324 ft agl. The landing was executed with a threshold speed slightly above target at 118 kt, and a touchdown distance of 282 m, which was considered good. The aircraft's touchdown speed of 104 kt was also within acceptable limits, although the touchdown rate of -284 fpm was fair. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking 4 minutes to cover 1 nm. The total flight distance was 252 nm, with a total flight time of 62 minutes and a fuel consumption of 400 kg.
The aircraft commenced its final approach to runway 24 at LIRN Naples International Airport from the north east, heading 238.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,324 feet above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height achieved. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 118 knots, indicating a slight deviation from the optimal landing conditions.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft demonstrated a good touchdown distance of 282 meters, with a touchdown speed of 104 knots. The touchdown rate of -284 feet per minute was fair, indicating a moderate deceleration. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 7.5 meters from the centreline, which may have contributed to the subsequent rollout alignment issues. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 16°C and wind at 11 knots from 209°, resulted in a 5-knot crosswind and a 10-knot headwind.
The total landing distance of 541 meters was 26% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 10.4 meters from the centreline, which may have been a result of the initial touchdown position deviation. Overall, the landing performance was satisfactory, with a score of 95.0%.
