Departure
Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.
What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 6.5°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
Below a thousand feet the aeroplane is slow, heavy and close to the ground. A steep turn loses lift, raises the stall speed and flattens the climb just when the gradient matters most. A normal turn on course is a rate one — fifteen degrees or so, twenty-five at the outside, this penalty is to acknowledge when a turn has stopped being a turn and become a manoeuvre.

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 305 m and 152 m above the runway.
At the 152 m gate: speed below the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
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 219 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft, an Airbus A320, taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Milan Malpensa International Airport, taking 12 minutes to cover a distance of 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 35R, with the aircraft taking off after covering 51% of the runway's length. The takeoff distance was 1,527 meters, and the liftoff speed was 155 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 27 degrees Celsius. The enroute climb started approximately 1 mile south west of Casorate Sempione, in the Lombardia region of Italy, and continued for 14 minutes, covering a distance of 77 nautical miles. During this time, the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 526 meters above sea level to 10,061 meters above sea level, an increase of 9,534.5 meters.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 2 miles west of Medesano, in the Emilia-Romagna region of Italy. This phase lasted for 23 minutes and covered a distance of 182 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 2 miles north east of Poggio Bustone, in the Lazio region of Italy. The descent phase lasted for 26 minutes, during which the aircraft decreased its altitude from 10,061 meters above sea level to 484 meters above sea level, a decrease of 9,577.6 meters. The aircraft covered a distance of 116 nautical miles during this phase.
As the aircraft approached its destination, Naples International Airport, it began its final approach to runway 24 from the north east, heading 238.0 degrees at an altitude of 4 nautical miles and 390.0 meters above ground level. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 25 degrees Celsius.
The aircraft landed on runway 24, which had a length of 2,043 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly below the target speed at 129 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 220 meters, and the touchdown speed was also good at 127 knots. However, the touchdown rate was fair at -1.3 meters per second. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the runway rollout alignment was perfect.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking 4 minutes to cover a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 382 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 81 minutes. The aircraft used 2,570 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at LIRN Naples International Airport, achieving a high score of 98.5%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north-east, heading 238.0° at an altitude of 390.0 meters above ground level (agl) and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The final approach was executed at a suitable height, and the aircraft landed safely on runway 24, which has a length of 2,043 meters.
The threshold height was good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct height as it approached the runway threshold. However, the threshold speed was slightly below the target speed of 130 kt, which is a minor deviation. The touchdown distance of 220 meters was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown speed of 127 kt was also good. The touchdown rate of -1.3 m/s was fair, but not exceptional.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 25°C. The total landing distance of 1,255 meters was 61% of the runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft maintained its alignment with the runway during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, and the aircraft performed well in terms of speed, distance, and alignment. The minor deviations in threshold speed and touchdown rate did not significantly impact the overall performance of the landing.
