Flight Score
Departure
Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.
What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 4.8°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
Arrival
Keep the back pressure coming once the flare is established, holding the nose up through to touchdown instead of easing it.
What happened: The flare arrested the sink but 400 fpm of it came back before touchdown, and in flights like this one that returning sink usually carries through to a firm or hard touchdown at 379 fpm.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: the sink held near zero all the way through touchdown, not allowed to build back up.
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 1,870 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,870 m of the 2,977 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,121 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight, operated by an Airbus A319, began with a short taxiing period of 3 minutes from the parking area to the runway at Corfu Ioannis Kapodistrias International Airport. The aircraft then took off from runway 34, requiring a distance of 1,423 meters, which accounted for 75% of the runway's length. The liftoff speed reached was 151 knots.
As the aircraft entered the local weather conditions, a temperature of 27 degrees Celsius was recorded, with a wind speed of 5 knots at 160 degrees. This resulted in a 1-knot crosswind and a 5-knot tailwind. The enroute climb commenced shortly after takeoff, and the aircraft ascended to 36,366 feet, covering a significant distance of 106 nautical miles in 19 minutes.
Once level cruise was achieved, the aircraft continued to a new altitude, eventually reaching a cruising altitude of 36,366 feet, 14 miles northeast of Materdomini in Puglia, Italy. The level cruise phase lasted for a considerable 47 minutes as the aircraft covered 388 nautical miles.
As the aircraft began its descent, it started at an altitude of 35,969 feet above sea level over Coreglia Antelminelli in Toscana, Italy and quickly reached an altitude of 17,959 feet, reducing its altitude by 18,010 feet in 5 minutes and covering 60 nautical miles. Another short descent from 17,941 feet to 3,160 feet above sea level, a drop of 14,781 feet, took 12 minutes and covered 16 nautical miles.
A final level cruise took place from Mede in Lombardia, Italy, where the aircraft stayed at 3,136 feet for 9 minutes before it began the last descent. A descent from 3,136 feet to 1,915 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,221 feet, took 4 minutes and covered 9 nautical miles before finally landing on runway 35R at Milan Malpensa International Airport.
The final approach was conducted from the south at a heading of 349.0 degrees and an altitude of 1,184 feet above ground level while 4 nautical miles away from the airport. A firm touchdown took place 661 meters beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 122 knots, which was good, and a touchdown rate of -379 feet per minute, which was also firm.
The landing on runway 35R, with a length of 2,977 meters, resulted in a total landing distance of 1,745 meters, accounting for 59% of the runway. The touchdown and runway rollout alignments were both perfect, despite local weather conditions being different from those at Corfu, with a temperature of 13 degrees Celsius and winds of 4 knots at 40 degrees.
Crosswinds and headwinds at the time of landing were 3 and 3 knots respectively. Taxiing to the parking area took another 3 minutes, as it did before takeoff, covering less than a nautical mile. The total flight distance covered 626 nautical miles, and the flight took 108 minutes, with 5,031 kilograms of fuel being used throughout.
The Airbus A319 has successfully landed at LIMC Milan Malpensa International Airport, achieving a score of 81.4%. The final approach to the runway was conducted from the south at a heading of 349.0°, located 4 nm away from the threshold and 1,184 feet above ground level. The aircraft demonstrated a good proficiency in navigating through the approach, utilizing a precise heading to maintain a steady course en route to the runway.
Upon landing on runway 35R, which spans a length of 2,977 meters, the Airbus A319 showed some minor deviation in its performance. The threshold height at 105 feet above ground level was found to be excessively over the target, indicating that the pilot slightly delayed the touchdown. Conversely, the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 138 knots, demonstrating a good sense of control and speed management.
The touchdown point was located 661 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a respectable distance considering the overall performance of the aircraft. The touchdown speed of 122 knots was within the acceptable range, ensuring a controlled descent and minimizing the impact force upon touchdown. Moreover, the touchdown rate was firm at -379 feet per minute, which is indicative of a well-managed descent and controlled flight dynamics.
A key factor contributing to the overall success of the landing was the alignment with the runway. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, which facilitated a smooth and stable transition from flight to ground. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 13°C and a relatively light wind speed of 4 knots, also played a positive role in the successful execution of the landing.
The final distance covered during the landing rollout was 1,745 meters, corresponding to 59% of the runway length. This indicates a moderate deceleration and braking performance, which, nonetheless, remains within acceptable parameters. Additionally, the runway rollout alignment was found to be perfect, demonstrating a high level of control and precision during the critical phase of the landing.
Overall, the Airbus A319's performance in landing at LIMC Milan Malpensa International Airport was satisfactory, with a score of 81.4%. The deviations from the optimal performance parameters were generally minor, and the aircraft demonstrated good proficiency and control throughout the approach and landing phases.
