Flight Score
Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a fixed point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline during the roll.
What happened: The aircraft drifted 32 m off the runway centreline during the ground roll, and wing drift like that usually keeps reappearing as bank in the climb, with 2.7° of bank in the first climb segment and 4.9° still showing in the second.
Watch for: Heading indicator: steady on the runway centreline during the roll, then wings level through the climb.
Arrival
Make one smooth continuous pitch input through the flare rather than chasing the runway with the elevator.
What happened: The flare was pumped, with pitch reversing direction several times on the way down instead of one smooth input.
Watch for: Watch the pitch attitude trend through the flare, aiming for a single steady rise through 3.5° with no reversals.
See Arrival Landing
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.
At the 500 ft gate: speed above 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 2,447 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 982 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a quick taxi from the parking area to the runway, taking less than a minute and covering a distance of less than a nautical mile. The aircraft, an Airbus A320, then departed from runway 36 at Milano Linate Airport (LIML). The takeoff distance was 1,500 meters, which is 61% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 149 knots, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 21°C and a wind speed of 3 knots from 225°.
As the aircraft climbed, it started its enroute climb overhead the Idroscalo Milan (RB11), a location in Lombardia, Italy. The climb began at an altitude of 1,357 feet above sea level (asl) and ended at 7,008 ft asl, an increase of 5,651 feet in just 6 minutes. The aircraft covered a distance of 18 nautical miles during this climb phase.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started overhead Carate Brianza, another location in Lombardia, Italy. This phase lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 6 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting 1 mile northeast of Cinisello Balsamo. The descent from 6,516 ft asl to 3,015 ft asl, a decrease of 3,501 feet in just 3 minutes, covered a distance of 13 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started overhead Pieve Emanuele and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles. The descent phase began again, this time overhead Vidigulfo, and the aircraft descended from 3,015 ft asl to 1,606 ft asl, a decrease of 1,409 feet in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 36 at LIML Milano Linate Airport was made from the south, heading 356.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,251 feet above ground level (agl). The landing was made on runway 36, which has a length of 2,447 meters. The threshold height at 67 ft agl was above the target, and the threshold speed was too high at 137 knots.
The touchdown point was 561 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 121 knots, which was a little fast. However, the touchdown rate was perfect at -22 feet per minute (fpm), and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions remained the same, with a temperature of 20°C and a wind speed of 3 knots from 225°.
The total landing distance was 1,340 meters, which is 55% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also very good. The total flight distance was 55 nautical miles, and the flight took 22 minutes to complete. The aircraft used 7,296 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 aircraft successfully landed at Milano Linate Airport (LIML) on runway 36, achieving an overall score of 86.5%. The final approach was initiated from the south, heading 356.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,251 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down 561 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a significant deviation from the target. The touchdown speed of 121 knots was slightly higher than the desired speed, indicating that the pilot may have applied too much thrust during the approach. However, the touchdown rate of -22 feet per minute (fpm) was perfect, demonstrating excellent control and precision.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 20°C and a gentle wind of 3 knots from 225°. The crosswind and tailwind components were minimal, at 2 knots each, which did not pose a significant challenge to the pilot.
The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained a stable and controlled approach. The runway rollout alignment was also excellent, suggesting that the pilot smoothly transitioned from the landing phase to the rollout phase.
The total landing distance of 1,340 meters was 55% of the available runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. However, the threshold height at 67 feet agl was above the target, and the threshold speed was too high at 137 knots, indicating that the pilot may have initiated the flare too late or applied too much thrust during the approach.
Overall, the landing was successful, but there are areas for improvement, particularly in terms of touchdown speed and threshold height. With some adjustments to the approach and landing technique, the pilot can achieve an even higher score and demonstrate more precise and controlled landing skills.
