Flight Score
Monitor your taxi speed
The one change that would have gained the most on this flight, and the guide passage for it.
Twenty knots on a monitor produces the visual sensation of about ten. The advice to "taxi at a walking pace" cannot fix this, because your sense of walking pace is exactly the thing that's broken. Put the groundspeed readout in your scan and obey it for the next fifty flights, the way a student pilot leans on the airspeed indicator before learning to read attitude.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks at 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 2,749 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 637 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Katowice Wojciech Korfanty International Airport, the Airbus A320 began its journey on runway 26, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 158 kt after a takeoff distance of 1,682 meters, which covered 59% of the runway. The aircraft then climbed to a height of 35,003 feet above sea level, an increase of 33,063 feet, in 18 minutes and covering 128 nautical miles. This enroute climb phase started approximately 1 mile northwest of Ozarowice, in the Silesian Voivodeship, Poland.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, lasting 39 minutes and covering 327 nautical miles, which began 3 miles southwest of Tisovec, in Banska Bystrica, Slovakia. The cruise phase was followed by a descent phase, which started 9 miles north of Bijelo Polje, in Montenegro, and lasted 20 minutes, covering 123 nautical miles. The aircraft descended from 35,017 feet to 3,355 feet above sea level, a decrease of 31,662 feet. A brief level cruise phase of 3 minutes and 9 nautical miles occurred 6 miles northwest of Mamurras, in Qarku i Lezhes, Albania, before the aircraft began its final descent phase. This descent phase started overhead Mamurras and lasted 2 minutes, covering 5 nautical miles, and resulted in a decrease of 1,593 feet.
The Airbus A320 then entered the final approach phase, aligning with runway 17 at Tirana International Airport Mother Teresa from the north, at a heading of 174.0° and 4 nautical miles from the threshold. The aircraft landed on the runway, with a touchdown point 219 meters beyond the touchdown zone, at a speed of 128 kt. The touchdown rate was good at -159 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The total landing distance was 1,355 meters, covering 49% of the runway. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, covering 1 nautical mile in 3 minutes. The total flight distance was 604 nautical miles, taking 95 minutes, and the aircraft used 3,495 kilograms of fuel.
The aircraft, an Airbus A320, commenced its final approach to runway 17 at LATI Tirana International Airport Mother Teresa from the north, heading 174.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,289 feet above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height and threshold speed of 136 knots. The aircraft maintained a steady descent, touching down 219 meters beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 128 knots, which was slightly above the desired touchdown speed. However, the touchdown rate of -159 feet per minute was within acceptable limits.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating a high degree of control and precision during the landing phase. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 22°C and a light wind of 3 knots at 56°, contributed to a relatively smooth and stable approach. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, while the tailwind component was negligible at 1 knot. These factors combined to facilitate a stable and controlled touchdown.
The aircraft's rollout was characterized by perfect alignment with the runway centerline, demonstrating a high level of control and precision during the post-landing phase. The total landing distance of 1,355 meters, which accounted for 49% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. Overall, the landing was deemed satisfactory, with a score of 97.0%. The minor deviations from the desired touchdown speed and distance were not significant enough to detract from the overall quality of the landing.
