Flight Score
Arrival
Stop the rotation once the sink is arrested at 4.1 ft, holding the normal landing attitude instead of continuing to pull back.
What happened: The flare pitch reached 4.9°, well above this type's ground attitude, and touchdown followed at a sink rate of 313 fpm. Over-rotating the flare like this usually carries through to a firm or hard touchdown.
Watch for: Attitude indicator: hold the normal landing attitude once sink is arrested at 4.1 ft.
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 1,000 ft gate: off the centreline.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,988 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,988 m of the 2,043 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,202 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 EuroAirport Basel-Mulhouse-Freiburg, taking approximately 9 minutes and covering a distance of 4 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 15, with a takeoff distance of 1,777 meters, which is 64% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 164 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it encountered local weather conditions of 9°C temperature and a wind speed of 7 knots at 139°. The crosswind was 2 knots, while the headwind was 7 knots. The enroute climb started overhead Hesingue, France, and the aircraft ascended from 1,901 feet above sea level to 35,672 feet, an increase of 33,771 feet in 21 minutes, covering a distance of 128 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 4 miles northeast of Poschiavo, Switzerland, and lasted for 27 minutes, covering a distance of 210 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its descent from 36,035 feet above sea level to 34,989 feet, a decrease of 1,046 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 28 nautical miles. This was followed by another level cruise, which started 1 mile southwest of Castel Ritaldi, Italy, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 12 nautical miles.
The enroute descent began 2 miles northeast of Ferentillo, Italy, and the aircraft descended from 34,872 feet above sea level to 2,926 feet, a decrease of 31,946 feet in 25 minutes, covering a distance of 127 nautical miles. Another level cruise started 3 miles southeast of Bacoli, Italy, and lasted for 3 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 06 at Naples International Airport took place from the southwest, heading 55.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,457 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 06 was successful, with a touchdown point that used more than 50% of the available runway. The touchdown speed was 117 knots, which was good, while the touchdown rate was fair at -270 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 14°C temperature and a wind speed of 4 knots at 359°. The crosswind was 3 knots, while the headwind was 2 knots. The total landing distance was 1,904 meters, which is 93% of the runway length. However, the runway rollout alignment was misaligned by 17.9 meters from the centerline.
The taxiing from the runway to the parking area took approximately 5 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 524 nautical miles, taking 97 minutes, and the aircraft used 3,533 kilograms of fuel.
The Airbus A320 aircraft successfully landed on runway 06 at LIRN Naples International Airport, achieving a score of 74.7%. The final approach was initiated from the southwest, heading 55.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,457 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 134 knots.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft used more than 50% of the available runway, indicating a relatively long touchdown point. The touchdown speed of 117 knots was considered good, but the touchdown rate of -270 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair. This suggests that the aircraft may have experienced a slightly higher-than-desired rate of descent during the landing. The runway touchdown alignment was, however, very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 14°C, with a wind speed of 4 knots from 359°. This resulted in a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 2 knots. The total landing distance of 1,904 meters was 93% of the available runway length, which is a relatively high percentage. This may indicate that the aircraft could have benefited from a slightly shorter landing distance.
One notable issue during the landing was the runway rollout alignment, which was misaligned by 17.9 meters from the centerline. This suggests that the aircraft may have experienced some difficulty in maintaining a straight course during the rollout phase, potentially due to factors such as brake application or steering input. Overall, while the landing was successful, there are areas for improvement, particularly in terms of touchdown rate and runway rollout alignment.
