Flight Score
Departure
Rotate sooner, bringing the nose up at 136 kt rather than letting speed build further.
What happened: You lifted off at 174 kt against a rotation target of 136 kt, rotating late in the ground roll.
Watch for: Watch airspeed and rotate at the target of 136 kt.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Begin the flare with progressive back pressure and keep it coming until the sink is arrested, rather than flying it on flat.
What happened: The nose was barely raised in the flare and little of the sink was taken out, flying the aircraft onto the runway. This pattern usually carries through to a firm touchdown with a noticeable sink rate.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a smoothly reducing sink through the normal flare band, not a steady rate into the runway.
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 305 m and 152 m above the runway.
At the 152 m 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 2,253 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 610 m past the threshold — beyond 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 Naples International Airport, LIRN. This process took 19 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 24, and the aircraft lifted off at a speed of 174 knots, using 75% of the runway's length.
As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it began its enroute climb, starting overhead San Pietro a Patierno in Campania, Italy. The climb took the aircraft from an altitude of 364 meters above sea level to 7,009 meters above sea level, an increase of 6,644.7 meters, in just 8 minutes and covering a distance of 44 nautical miles.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, starting 24 miles south of Anacapri in Campania, Italy. This phase lasted for 21 minutes and covered a distance of 124 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting 2 miles north of Acquedolci in Sicilia, Italy, and descended from an altitude of 7,002 meters above sea level to 6,403 meters above sea level, a decrease of 599.4 meters, in just 2 minutes and covering a distance of 9 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, starting 4 miles south of Alcara Li Fusi in Sicilia, Italy, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 8 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 1 mile north of Troina / Draginai in Sicilia, Italy, and descended from an altitude of 6,402 meters above sea level to 401 meters above sea level, a decrease of 6,001.5 meters, in 15 minutes and covering a distance of 28 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 08 at Catania-Fontanarossa Airport, LICC, was made from the west, heading 84.0 degrees, at an altitude of 388.1 meters above ground level and 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing took place on runway 08, which had a length of 2,253 meters. The threshold height was above the target, but the threshold speed was good at 138 knots.
The touchdown point was 194 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was good at 131 knots. The touchdown rate was firm at -1.8 meters per second. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.9 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 23 degrees Celsius.
The total landing distance was 1,208 meters, which accounted for 54% of the runway's length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area from the runway, taking 4 minutes and covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 222 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 61 minutes. The aircraft used 1,967 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at Catania-Fontanarossa Airport, achieving a score of 92.1%. The aircraft approached the runway from the west, heading 84.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 388.1 meters above ground level (agl). The final approach was made to runway 08, which has a length of 2,253 meters.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down 194 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a speed of 131 knots, which was considered good. The touchdown rate was firm at -1.8 meters per second, indicating a controlled descent. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.9 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 23°C. The aircraft's performance was satisfactory, with the threshold height being above the target, but the threshold speed was good at 138 knots. The total landing distance was 1,208 meters, which accounted for 54% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft maintained its direction and speed after touchdown.
Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft demonstrating good control and stability throughout the approach and touchdown phases. However, there were some minor deviations from the ideal performance, such as the slightly misaligned touchdown position and the above-target threshold height. Nevertheless, the score of 92.1% indicates a high level of proficiency and control during the landing.
