Improve the rollout
Ground control varies with speed, full authority at walking pace, progressively reducing as groundspeed rises. The aircraft becomes twitchy at any speed, every small pedal input swings the nose, which can encourage large-amplitude leg inputs that no real aircraft would accept.

One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
Side view — the last 1,849 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,849 m of the 3,894 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 355 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 17 at LIBC Crotone Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,366 meters, which accounted for 74% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 165 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of 14°C, with a wind speed of 5 knots at 149°.
As the aircraft climbed to cruising altitude, it started its enroute climb overhead Isola di Capo Rizzuto in Calabria, Italy. The climb began at an altitude of 1,583 feet above sea level and reached a maximum altitude of 35,295 feet, an increase of 33,712 feet in 19 minutes, covering a distance of 102 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 12 miles south of Palinuro in Campania, Italy, and lasted for 14 minutes, covering the same distance of 102 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent 8 miles south of Gaeta in Lazio, Italy, descending from 35,140 feet to 1,304 feet above sea level, a decrease of 33,836 feet in 30 minutes, covering a distance of 79 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 16L at LIRF Rome–Fiumicino Leonardo da Vinci International Airport was made from the north, heading 163.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,284 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 16L, which had a length of 3,894 meters. The threshold height was good, but the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 147 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 358 meters, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 145 knots, and the touchdown rate was hard at -410 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.7 meters from the centreline, and the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 13.6 meters from the centreline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 8°C, with a wind speed of 2 knots at 60°. The crosswind was 2 knots, and the tailwind was 1 knot.
The total landing distance was 1,770 meters, which accounted for 45% of the runway. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 12 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The total flight distance was 292 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 83 minutes. The aircraft used 3,157 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed on runway 16L at LIRF Rome–Fiumicino Leonardo da Vinci International Airport, achieving a score of 93.3%. The final approach was initiated from the north, heading 163.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,284 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a steady course, taking advantage of the favorable wind conditions, with a gentle tailwind of 1 kn and a minimal crosswind of 2 kn.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 146 kn, registering at 147 kn. However, the touchdown distance of 358 meters was deemed satisfactory. The touchdown speed of 145 kn was a tad faster than the recommended speed, which may have contributed to a harder touchdown rate of -410 feet per minute (fpm). The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 5.7 meters, which could have been a result of the pilot's attempt to compensate for the crosswind.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 8°C and a gentle wind of 2 kn from a direction of 60°. The aircraft's performance was not significantly impacted by the weather, allowing it to maintain a stable approach and landing. The total landing distance of 1,770 meters was within the acceptable range, covering approximately 45% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned from the centerline by 13.6 meters, which may have been a result of the pilot's attempt to maintain control during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was considered satisfactory, with the aircraft achieving a score of 93.3%. While there were some minor deviations from the recommended speeds and alignment, the pilot's skills and experience allowed for a safe and controlled landing.
