Flight Score
Departure
Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.
What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 8°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
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 1,849 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,849 m of the 2,756 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 640 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from London Luton Airport, the Airbus A319 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 20 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. As the aircraft lined up on runway 25, the crew prepared for departure, taking into account the local weather conditions, which included a temperature of 7 °C and a wind speed of 30 kt from 300 °. The aircraft lifted off the ground at a speed of 151 kt, using 63% of the available runway length of 2,076 m.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it passed overhead Luton, England, and continued to ascend to 37,009 ft asl, a gain of 35,593 ft in 23 minutes. The enroute climb phase was followed by a level cruise, which started over Pittem, Flanders, Belgium, and lasted for 54 minutes, covering a distance of 456 nm. The aircraft then began its descent, initially from 36,388 ft asl to 4,132 ft asl, a decrease of 32,256 ft in 14 minutes, before making a brief level cruise over Portofino, Liguria, Italy. The final descent phase started over Pieve Ligure, Liguria, Italy, and ended with a smooth touchdown on runway 28 at Genoa Cristoforo Colombo Airport.
The landing was executed with precision, with the aircraft touching down 225 m beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 124 kt. The touchdown rate was firm at -362 fpm, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The total landing distance was 1,769 m, which accounted for 64% of the available runway length. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took 4 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nm. The total flight distance was 735 nm, and the aircraft used 4,336 kg of fuel during the journey, which took a total of 110 minutes.
The final approach to runway 28 at LIMJ Genoa Cristoforo Colombo Airport from the east, heading 290.0° at 4 nm and 1,366 ft agl, was executed with good approach quality. The aircraft maintained a stable and controlled descent throughout the approach, with a steady rate of descent and a consistent airspeed. The threshold height was good, allowing the crew to maintain a safe margin above the runway surface.
As the aircraft touched down on the runway, the touchdown speed of 124 kt was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -362 fpm was firm but not excessive. The touchdown point was 225 m beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively short distance. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was well-centered on the runway. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 14 °C and a wind of 9 kt at 49°, contributed to a relatively straightforward landing.
The total landing distance of 1,769 m, which accounts for 64% of the runway length, was within the acceptable range. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft remained well-centered on the runway throughout the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was executed with good technique and control, resulting in a score of 93.3%.
