Flight Score
Departure
Raise the gear lever promptly once a positive rate of climb is confirmed after liftoff.
What happened: The landing gear was never raised during the initial climb and was still down when the climb ended.
Watch for: Landing gear lever: UP promptly after confirming a positive rate of climb.
Arrival
Track the centreline through touchdown using small rudder corrections against a point at the far end of the runway.
What happened: The aircraft touched down off the centreline at 13 m, and drifting off centreline at touchdown usually carries through into the rollout, as it did here with alignment reaching 7.1 m.
Watch for: Watch runway centreline position, keeping deviation inside the limit through touchdown and rollout.
Make sure that you retract the landing gear once you have a positive rate of climb and there is no usable runway left to land back on.

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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,291 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 385 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Stuttgart Airport, the Airbus A319 began its journey with a smooth taxiing process, taking just 3 minutes to reach the runway. As it rolled down runway 07, the aircraft accelerated to a liftoff speed of 148 kt, clearing the ground at a distance of 1,605 meters, which accounted for 53% of the runway's length. The local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 33 °C and a gentle headwind of 1 kt, with a crosswind of 1 kt.
As the aircraft climbed to its initial cruising altitude, it traversed a distance of 57 nm in just 9 minutes, ascending from 619 meters above sea level to 7,012 meters. The enroute climb phase was punctuated by several level cruises, with the aircraft maintaining a steady altitude over various points in Germany and Switzerland. Notably, the climb from 7,250 meters to 9,411 meters in 5 minutes covered a distance of 116 nm. The aircraft's fuel efficiency was evident in its ability to cover a total distance of 513 nm, using 3,098 kg of fuel in the process.
The final approach to Venice Marco Polo Airport's runway 04R was executed from the southwest, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 42.0° at 4 nm and 359.3 meters above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown distance of 408 meters and a smooth touchdown rate of -0.7 m/s. Although the touchdown speed was slightly fast at 118 kt, the runway touchdown position was only slightly misaligned from the centerline. The total landing distance of 1,370 meters accounted for 41% of the runway's length, and the runway rollout alignment was very good. After a 4-minute taxiing process, the aircraft came to a stop at the parking area, marking the end of its journey.
The aircraft touched down on runway 04R at LIPZ Venice Marco Polo Airport with a smooth touchdown rate of -0.7 m/s, indicating a well-executed flare. The touchdown speed of 118 kt was slightly above the optimal threshold speed of 121 kt, which may have contributed to a slightly longer than ideal touchdown distance of 408 m. However, this distance was still within acceptable limits, and the overall approach quality was good.
As the aircraft rolled out, it maintained a very good alignment with the centreline, with only a minor deviation of 7.1 m from the centreline. This was a notable achievement, given the relatively high temperature of 35 °C and the slight tailwind of 2 kt. The total landing distance of 1,370 m was 41% of the runway length, which is a reasonable figure considering the conditions. The local wind conditions, with a crosswind of 1 kt and a tailwind of 2 kt, were relatively light, which likely contributed to the smooth rollout.
Overall, the landing was a success, with a score of 98.1%. The approach quality, touchdown characteristics, and rollout alignment were all good, with only a minor issue with the touchdown speed. The crew's ability to maintain control and execute a smooth touchdown, despite the slightly fast speed, was a testament to their skill and experience.
