Flight Score
Departure
Ease the nose up sooner to lift off at 150 kt instead of letting speed build on the ground.
What happened: The aircraft lifted off at 167 kt, 17 kt above the target liftoff speed.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 150 kt at liftoff
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Keep increasing back pressure smoothly after the sink arrests at 0.1 ft, holding that attitude firmly all the way to touchdown.
What happened: The flare arrested the sink at 0.1 ft, but 158 fpm of sink came back before touchdown, and sink returning like this usually carries through into a bounce at touchdown.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: steady, continuously decreasing sink held through the flare and into touchdown.
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 1,528 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,528 m of the 3,082 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 607 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Venice Marco Polo Airport, the Airbus A320 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 14 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. As the aircraft lined up on runway 04R, the local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 17 °C and a gentle headwind of 4 knots.
As the aircraft departed, it accelerated down the runway, reaching a liftoff speed of 167 knots in 1,647 meters, which was 50% of the runway's length. The initial climb phase took place over the airport, where the aircraft ascended from 979 feet above sea level to 4,012 feet in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles. The enroute climb phase that followed was more substantial, with the aircraft ascending from 4,011 feet to 35,461 feet in 17 minutes, covering a distance of 114 nautical miles. The aircraft then leveled off and entered a cruise phase, which lasted for 17 minutes and covered 251 nautical miles. The descent phase began over Germany, where the aircraft descended from 35,999 feet to 2,016 feet in 17 minutes, covering a distance of 115 nautical miles. The final approach to Brussels Airport was made from the east, with the aircraft touching down on runway 25L after a total landing distance of 1,445 meters, which was 47% of the runway's length.
The aircraft's performance was satisfactory, with a touchdown speed of 122 knots and a touchdown rate of -247 feet per minute. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 8.7 meters from the centerline. The total flight distance was 516 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 77 minutes. The aircraft used 3,636 kilograms of fuel during the flight, indicating a relatively efficient performance. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took 7 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile.
The final approach to runway 25L at EBBR Brussels Airport from the east was executed with precision, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 248.0° at 4 nm and 1,434 ft above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 132 kt, indicating a well-controlled descent. As the aircraft touched down 189 m beyond the touchdown zone, the touchdown speed of 122 kt was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown rate of -247 fpm was fair, suggesting a slightly steeper-than-desired descent.
The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was well-centered on the runway. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 17 °C and a gentle wind of 3 kt at 170°, contributed to a relatively smooth landing. The crosswind component was minimal at 3 kt, and the headwind component was 1 kt, further facilitating a stable approach. The total landing distance of 1,445 m, which accounted for 47% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits.
During the rollout phase, the aircraft's alignment was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 8.7 m, indicating a minor deviation from the desired path. Despite this, the overall landing performance was satisfactory, with a score of 89.7%. The crew's ability to maintain control and navigate the aircraft to a safe touchdown, despite the minor deviation, was commendable.
