Departure
Roll the wings level with aileron and hold bank within limits as you establish the climb.
What happened: Bank increased to 1° during the initial climb, and wings stayed over-banked at 12° into the next climb segment.
Watch for: Attitude indicator bank angle, aiming to keep it near wings-level
Below a thousand feet the aeroplane is slow, heavy and close to the ground. A steep turn loses lift, raises the stall speed and flattens the climb just when the gradient matters most. A normal turn on course is a rate one — fifteen degrees or so, twenty-five at the outside, this penalty is to acknowledge when a turn has stopped being a turn and become a manoeuvre.

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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,043 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 592 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in question was operated by Vueling, with the aircraft registration EC-MGZ. The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 15 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles (nm). The aircraft then departed from runway 06R at LEBL Josep Tarradellas Barcelona-El Prat Airport, with a takeoff distance of 1,690 meters, which accounted for 64% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 161 knots (kt).
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 24 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 3 knots at 30 degrees. The crosswind was 2 kt, while the headwind was 3 kt. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile east of the airport and reaching a height of 34,213 feet above sea level (asl) after climbing 33,208 feet in 21 minutes, covering a distance of 118 nm.
The enroute level cruise started 60 miles northeast of Ferreries, Spain, and lasted for 43 minutes, covering a distance of 348 nm. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 27 miles west of Ponza, Italy, and descending from 34,614 ft asl to 17,503 ft asl in 8 minutes, covering a distance of 65 nm. The descent was followed by a brief level cruise, starting 3 miles northwest of Forio, Italy, and lasting 2 minutes, covering a distance of 9 nm.
The aircraft then began another descent, starting 5 miles northwest of Monte di Procida, Italy, and descending from 17,533 ft asl to 8,314 ft asl in 9 minutes, covering a distance of 40 nm. The descent was followed by another brief level cruise, starting 1 mile southeast of Ponte, Italy, and lasting 2 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nm. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting overhead Benevento, Italy, and descending from 7,917 ft asl to 1,653 ft asl in 7 minutes, covering a distance of 23 nm.
The final approach to runway 24 at LIRN Naples International Airport was made from the northeast, with a heading of 238.0° at 4 nm and 1,343 ft above ground level (agl). However, the aircraft was forced to execute a go-around at 0 ft agl. The aircraft then landed on runway 24, with a runway length of 2,043 meters. The touchdown point was 170 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 133 kt and a touchdown rate of -96 feet per minute (fpm), which was excellent.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 18 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 kt at 21°. The crosswind was 1 kt, while the tailwind was 1 kt. The total landing distance was 1,280 meters, which accounted for 63% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 4 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nm. The total flight distance was 626 nm, with a total flight time of 127 minutes and a fuel consumption of 6,359 kg.
Aircraft Vueling EC-MGZ successfully landed at LIRN Naples International Airport, achieving a high score of 95.9%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north east, heading 238.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,343 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a precise final approach, ensuring a good threshold height and speed of 144 knots upon touchdown.
The landing itself was smooth, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 133 knots, which was within the acceptable range. The touchdown rate was particularly impressive, with a rate of -96 feet per minute (fpm), indicating a controlled and gentle descent. However, the touchdown point was slightly beyond the designated touchdown zone, located 170 meters down the runway.
Despite this minor deviation, the runway rollout alignment was excellent, with the aircraft maintaining a straight course along the centerline. The total landing distance of 1,280 meters was 63% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 18°C and a gentle wind of 2 knots from 21°.
Overall, the landing was executed with precision and control, demonstrating the pilot's expertise and the aircraft's capabilities. The minor deviations from the ideal touchdown point and alignment were not significant enough to impact the overall score, resulting in a high score of 95.9%.
