Flight Score
Departure
Roll the wings level with aileron and hold bank within limits as you establish the climb.
What happened: Bank increased to 0.5° during the initial climb, and wings stayed over-banked at 16° into the next climb segment.
Watch for: Attitude indicator bank angle, aiming to keep it near wings-level
A small uncorrected heading error at 40 knots becomes a metre of offset per second by 100 knots, noticed only at rotation, producing a crabbed liftoff. Root cause is nearly always eyes on the tape instead of the far end of the runway. Small heading changes displace a distant point visibly long before the nearby centreline stripes look wrong.

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 3,299 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 262 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft, an Airbus A319, taxiing from the parking area to the runway at LIRQ Florence Airport, Peretola. This process took approximately 4 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 23, taking off with a takeoff distance of 622 meters, which accounted for 71% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 126 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 34 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 12 knots at a direction of 259 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 6 knots and a headwind of 10 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead LIRQ Florence Airport, Peretola Firenze (FI) (Toscana, Italy). The climb took the aircraft from an altitude of 887 feet above sea level to 38,811 feet above sea level, an increase of 37,923 feet, in 11 minutes and covering a distance of 153 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started overhead Laives (Trentino-Alto Adige, Italy) and lasted for 21 minutes, covering a distance of 422 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting overhead Raduhn (Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, Germany). The descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 38,021 feet above sea level to 3,355 feet above sea level, a decrease of 34,665 feet, in 27 minutes and covering a distance of 143 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another enroute level cruise, this time starting 1 mile south of Sandskogen (Skane County, Sweden) and lasting for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles. The final enroute descent started overhead Barsebaeckshamn (Skane County, Sweden), taking the aircraft from an altitude of 2,926 feet above sea level to 1,304 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,623 feet, in 3 minutes and covering a distance of 7 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 22L at EKCH Copenhagen Kastrup Airport was made from the north-east, with the aircraft heading 221.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,282 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 22L, which had a length of 3,299 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 125 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 260 meters, but the touchdown speed of 123 knots was a little fast. The touchdown rate was firm at -378 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 14 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 17 knots at a direction of 264 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 12 knots and a headwind of 13 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,146 meters, which accounted for 35% of the runway. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 9.0 meters from the centreline. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area from the runway, taking approximately 3 minutes and covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 736 nautical miles, and the flight took a total of 74 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 4,687 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A319 aircraft successfully landed at EKCH Copenhagen Kastrup Airport, achieving a high score of 95.9%. The final approach to runway 22L was conducted from the north east, heading 221.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,282 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach was well-executed, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 125 knots, which is within the recommended range.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's performance was satisfactory, with a touchdown distance of 260 meters, which is within the acceptable range. However, the touchdown speed of 123 knots was slightly faster than recommended, indicating that the pilots may have needed to apply more braking force upon touchdown. The touchdown rate of -378 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, suggesting that the aircraft's wheels made contact with the runway with a moderate amount of force.
The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was aligned with the centerline of the runway at the moment of touchdown. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 14°C and a wind speed of 17 knots from a direction of 264°. The crosswind component was 12 knots, while the headwind component was 13 knots, resulting in a net headwind effect.
The total landing distance of 1,146 meters was 35% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 9.0 meters from the centerline, indicating that the aircraft may have deviated from the intended path during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was successful, but the pilots may need to work on improving their touchdown speed and runway rollout alignment to achieve a higher score.
