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 8.2 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
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.

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 1,943 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,943 m of the 3,138 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 765 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 Lamezia Terme Airport, taking 6 minutes and covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. Departure roll took place on runway 28, with the aircraft taking off after covering 53% of the runway's length. The takeoff distance was 1,342 meters, and the liftoff speed was 152 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 29°C, with a wind speed of 4 knots at 240°. The crosswind component was 2 knots, while the headwind component was 3 knots. As the aircraft took off, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead Lamezia Terme Airport. The climb took the aircraft from an altitude of 1,025 feet above sea level to 36,101 feet above sea level, an increase of 35,075 feet, in 19 minutes and covering a distance of 120 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 10 miles south of Praiano, Italy. This phase lasted for 60 minutes and covered a distance of 428 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 2 miles north of Lavertezzo, Switzerland. The descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 36,220 feet above sea level to 4,631 feet above sea level, a decrease of 31,589 feet, in 24 minutes and covering a distance of 85 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 1 mile north of Lauchringen, Germany. This phase lasted for only 2 minutes and covered a distance of 5 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, which started 1 mile northwest of Kaiserstuhl, Switzerland. The descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 3,998 feet above sea level to 2,781 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,216 feet, in 2 minutes and covering a distance of 4 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 14 at Zürich Airport took place from the northwest, with the aircraft heading at 139.0° at an altitude of 1,364 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing took place on runway 14, which had a length of 3,138 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 137 knots.
The touchdown point was 350 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 126 knots and a smooth touchdown rate of -119 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.6 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 24°C, with a wind speed of 2 knots at 350°. The crosswind component was 1 knot, while the tailwind component was 2 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,864 meters, which was 59% of the runway's length. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 9.0 meters from the centerline. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking 3 minutes and covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 652 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 118 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 4,310 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at Zürich Airport (LSZH) on runway 14, achieving a high score of 93.7%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north-west, heading 139.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,364 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot maintained a good threshold height, which is a critical aspect of a safe landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was 137 kt, which is within the acceptable threshold speed range. The touchdown point was 350 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, indicating a slight deviation from the intended landing spot. However, the touchdown speed of 126 kt was good, and the touchdown rate of -119 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth, suggesting a controlled descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 24°C and a gentle wind of 2 kt from 350°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 kt, and the tailwind component was 2 kt, which is relatively insignificant. These conditions contributed to a stable and controlled approach.
The total landing distance of 1,864 meters was 59% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 9.0 meters from the centerline, which may require some adjustments during the post-landing phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated good control and decision-making skills throughout the approach and landing phases. The slight deviations from the intended landing spot and runway alignment were minor and did not compromise the safety of the aircraft or its occupants.
