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 11 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Steepen the descent on final so you cross the threshold at 50 ft, correcting the height error before it carries into speed and touchdown point.
What happened: Crossed the threshold 17 ft agl above the target, carrying excess speed over the numbers; crossing high and fast like this usually carries the touchdown long too, and this flight touched down 290 m beyond the aim point.
Watch for: Radio altimeter: 50 ft at the threshold.
Even a modest height error carries straight through to the touchdown. Geometry alone says that crossing the threshold 10 feet high on a 3° path moves your touchdown roughly 190 feet further down the runway before the flare adds anything.

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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 2,356 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,356 m of the 2,995 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 747 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The aircraft taxied from the parking area to runway 31L at LICT Vincenzo Florio Airport Trapani-Birgi. The taxi-out required 9 minutes and covered less than 1 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 31L, the aircraft accelerated for a takeoff distance of 1,611 m, representing 66 % of the runway. Liftoff was achieved at 152 kt. Local weather at the time was 30 °C with wind 6 kt at 99 °, a crosswind component of 3 kt and a tailwind component of 5 kt.
En-route climb commenced 1 mile north-west of LICT Vincenzo Florio Airport, climbing from 881 ft asl to 31,981 ft asl, an increase of 31,100 ft. The climb was completed in 16 minutes while covering 95 nm.
The first cruise segment began 16 miles east of Ustica and lasted 13 minutes, during which 96 nm were flown at level altitude.
Descent from cruise started 15 miles south-west of Agnone, descending from 31,999 ft asl to 5,192 ft asl, a loss of 26,807 ft. This descent took 22 minutes and spanned 124 nm.
A second cruise phase was initiated 10 miles north of Bari, lasting 8 minutes and covering 32 nm.
The subsequent descent began 9 miles north of Mola di Bari, dropping from 3,985 ft asl to 1,415 ft asl, a decrease of 2,570 ft. The descent was completed in 3 minutes over a distance of 10 nm.
Final approach to runway 25 at LIBD Bari Karol Wojtyła Airport was conducted from the east, on a heading of 249.0 °, at 4 nm and 1,265 ft agl.
Landing on runway 25, which is 2,995 m long, occurred with a threshold height of 67 ft agl above target and a threshold speed of 154 kt above target. Touchdown was recorded 333 m beyond the touchdown zone, at a speed of 144 kt, with a touchdown rate of minus 73 fpm and perfect runway-alignment. Local conditions were 34 °C with wind 6 kt at 300 °, a crosswind of 4 kt and a headwind of 4 kt.
The rollout covered a total landing distance of 2,277 m, representing 76 % of the runway, and runway-rollout alignment was very good.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in 5 minutes, traveling 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 367 nm, took 74 minutes, and consumed 3,085 kg of fuel.
The Boeing 737-800 executed a final approach to runway 25 at LIBD Bari Karol Wojtyła Airport from the east, tracking a heading of 249.0° at 4 nm and 1,265 ft agl. The approach was assessed as stabilised at the 1,000 ft gate, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope and centreline all within limits. Ambient temperature was 34 °C, wind was 6 kt from 300°, with a 4 kt cross-wind component and a 4 kt head-wind component.
At threshold the aircraft was 67 ft agl, which was above the target height, and the threshold speed was well above target at 154 kt. The flare was initiated from this condition.
Touchdown occurred 333 m beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 144 kt that was a little fast. Touchdown rate was excellent at minus 73 fpm and runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The aircraft rolled out over a total landing distance of 2,277 m, representing 76 % of the 2,995 m runway, and rollout alignment was very good.
Coaching should focus on reducing the high threshold and touchdown speeds to bring them closer to target values, and on adjusting the flare point to achieve a touchdown nearer the intended aim point. These refinements will help maintain the strong overall score of 93.9 %.
