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 32 ft off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
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 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 6,704 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 837 ft 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 Adolfo Suárez Madrid–Barajas Airport, which took 9 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 36L, and the takeoff distance was 3,685 feet, which is 33% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 128 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 79°F and winds of 2 knots at 120°. The crosswind was 2 knots, and the tailwind was 1 knot. After departing from Madrid, the enroute climb started 2 miles south east of San Sebastian de los Reyes, where the aircraft climbed from 3,003 feet above sea level to 36,110 feet above sea level, an increase of 33,107 feet in 19 minutes, covering a distance of 121 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 1 mile south of Aguilon, Aragon, Spain, and lasted for 78 minutes, covering a distance of 600 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its enroute descent 32 miles west of Ponza, Italy, and descended from 36,179 feet above sea level to 1,630 feet above sea level, a decrease of 34,549 feet in 28 minutes, covering a distance of 97 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 24 at Naples International Airport took place from the north east, heading 238.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,321 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 24 took place on a runway with a length of 6,704 feet. The threshold height was slightly above the target, and the threshold speed was also slightly above the target at 140 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 841 feet, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 137 knots. The touchdown rate was heavy at -652 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions at Naples International Airport were a temperature of 68°F and winds of 2 knots at 256°, with a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 2 knots.
The total landing distance was 3,266 feet, which is 49% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing to the parking area from the runway took 8 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 829 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 142 minutes, using 12,391 pounds of fuel.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at LIRN Naples International Airport, achieving a score of 95.0%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north east, heading 238.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,321 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was made to runway 24, which has a length of 6,704 feet.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down at a speed of 137 knots, which was slightly above the target speed. The touchdown distance of 841 feet was considered good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. However, the touchdown rate of -652 feet per minute (fpm) was heavy, suggesting that the aircraft may have touched down with a bit too much force.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 68°F and a gentle wind of 2 knots from 256°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 2 knots. These conditions likely contributed to a stable and controlled approach.
The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was aligned with the centerline of the runway at the moment of touchdown. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, suggesting that the aircraft maintained its alignment with the runway centerline during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a good touchdown distance and a perfect runway touchdown alignment. However, the heavy touchdown rate and slightly fast touchdown speed may indicate areas for improvement in the pilot's technique.
