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 19 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Carry more power on approach to hold 137 kt at the threshold instead of letting speed decay into the flare.
What happened: The flare arrested the sink at 39 ft while already below the speed target, and the aircraft settled as the remaining energy ran out, usually carrying a firm touchdown with it at 713 fpm.
Watch for: Watch airspeed on short final against 137 kt, keeping it there through the flare.
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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,037 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 636 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Airbus A320 taxiing from the parking area to the runway at LIBD Bari Karol Wojtyła Airport, a process that took 5 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 25, with a takeoff distance of 1,424 meters, which accounted for 58% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 154 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time were characterized by a temperature of 29 degrees Celsius and winds of 8 knots at 59 degrees.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb 1 mile west of LIBD Bari Karol Wojtyła Airport. The climb took 28 minutes and covered a distance of 178 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 1,241 feet above sea level to 38,728 feet above sea level, an increase of 37,487 feet. The enroute level cruise then started 3 miles south east of Sali, Croatia, and lasted for 43 minutes, covering a distance of 296 nautical miles.
The enroute descent began 1 mile north of Aschheim, Germany, and took 19 minutes to complete, during which the aircraft descended from 38,048 feet above sea level to 2,488 feet above sea level, a decrease of 35,560 feet. The descent covered a distance of 100 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 25 at EDDS Stuttgart Airport was made from the east, with the aircraft heading 254.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,238 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway.
The landing on runway 25 at EDDS Stuttgart Airport was successful, with a touchdown point located 223 meters beyond the touchdown zone. However, the touchdown speed of 138 knots was slightly faster than the recommended speed, and the touchdown rate was heavy at -617 feet per minute. Additionally, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 9.9 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 19 degrees Celsius and winds of 9 knots at 260 degrees.
The total landing distance was 1,167 meters, which accounted for 38% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 15.0 meters from the centerline. After landing, the aircraft taxiied to the parking area, a process that took 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 581 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 101 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 4,398 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 aircraft successfully landed on runway 25 at EDDS Stuttgart Airport, but with some areas for improvement. The final approach was initiated from the east, heading 254.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,238 feet above ground level. The aircraft touched down on the runway, but with a slight deviation from the centreline, being 9.9 meters off course.
The touchdown speed of 138 knots was slightly higher than the recommended threshold speed of 136 knots, indicating that the pilot may have been able to maintain a more controlled descent. The touchdown rate of -617 feet per minute was also considered heavy, suggesting that the aircraft may have been subjected to a more forceful impact upon landing. The touchdown point was located 223 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which may have been due to the pilot's decision to extend the landing distance.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 19°C and a wind speed of 9 knots from a direction of 260°. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 9 knots, which may have affected the aircraft's stability during the landing. The total landing distance of 1,167 meters was 38% of the available runway length, indicating that the aircraft was able to stop within a reasonable distance.
However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned from the centreline, being 15.0 meters off course. This may have been due to the pilot's difficulty in maintaining a stable alignment during the rollout phase. Overall, while the landing was successful, there are areas for improvement in terms of touchdown speed, touchdown rate, and runway alignment.
