Flight Score
Departure
Apply small rudder corrections against a point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline during the roll.
What happened: The aircraft tracked 5.2 m off the runway centreline during the ground roll, and flights with this pattern usually carry extra bank, around 1.8°, into the first climb.
Watch for: Heading indicator: wings level, tracking the runway centreline
Arrival
Hold the aim point and wait for the speed to bleed before raising the nose, starting the flare within the normal band instead of 56 ft.
What happened: The flare began at 56 ft, 11 ft earlier than the normal band.
Watch for: Radio altimeter: start the flare within the normal flare band
See Arrival Landing
A crosswind landing is a geometry problem. The air mass you're flying in is moving sideways across the runway, and you need your ground track down the centreline with your wheels aligned to it at the moment of contact. There are two techniques that will help, the crab and the sideslip.

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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: off the centreline.
At the 500 ft gate: sink rate above what the glideslope needed and off the centreline.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,906 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 398 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
This Airbus A320 departed from Nice-Côte d'Azur Airport in France, rolling down runway 04R and achieving liftoff at a speed of 156 knots. The takeoff distance covered 57% of the runway, which was 1,689 meters in length. The aircraft took off amidst local weather conditions of a temperature of 25 degrees Celsius and winds blowing at 5 knots at a direction of 140 degrees.
During the enroute climb, the aircraft rose from an altitude of 1,024 feet above sea level to 36,730 feet, a vertical increase of 35,706 feet in just 23 minutes. This phase of the flight covered 137 nautical miles as the plane ascended eastward from the Nice airport.
Once the aircraft reached the cruising altitude, it entered a level flight regime, navigating over the Italian and Greek territories. The enroute level cruise lasted for a total of 95 minutes, covering a significant distance of 438 nautical miles. Notably, the flight crew navigated the aircraft over Marciana in Italy, before continuing its journey towards the southeastern parts of Europe.
The aircraft then descended from its cruising altitude over Otranto, a town in Italy, and later continued its downward trajectory over the Greek island territories. Notable descent phases included a 33,150-foot vertical drop from 36,723 feet to 3,573 feet above sea level within 20 minutes while covering 62 nautical miles.
After navigating through the Greek islands, the aircraft began its final approach to runway 16 at Corfu Ioannis Kapodistrias International Airport. The initial descent started 3 miles south east of Nisaki, covering a short distance of 4 nautical miles in just 2 minutes. Upon entering the local circuitry, the aircraft performed several enroute level cruises over the vicinity of LGKR Corfu Ioannis Kapodistrias International Airport, each lasting several minutes.
Upon completion of the enroute level cruises, the aircraft initiated its final descent, gradually losing altitude. During the final approach, the aircraft touched down on runway 16 at a reasonable touchdown distance of 397 meters, speed of 126 knots, and fair touchdown rate of -229 feet per minute.
Post-landing checks revealed that the total landing distance covered 60% of the 1,906-meter runway. However, the runway rollout alignment was observed to be slightly misaligned from the centreline by 7.6 meters.
Following the landing, taxiing to the parking area took 1 minute, covering less than 1 nautical mile. Finally, the aircraft completed its journey by burning a total of 5,948 kilograms of fuel, covering a total flight distance of 653 nautical miles in 122 minutes.
The Airbus A320 aircraft has successfully landed at LGKR Corfu Ioannis Kapodistrias International Airport on runway 16 from the north, with a heading of 169.0 ° at an altitude of 363 feet above ground level (agl) and a distance of 1 nautical mile away from the runway.
The final approach and landing were executed with a high degree of precision, achieving a score of 97.8%. The pilot expertly navigated the aircraft to the runway, ensuring a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 134 knots, which is an optimal speed for landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's performance was satisfactory, with a touchdown distance of 397 meters, which is well within the acceptable range. The touchdown speed was recorded at 126 knots, indicating a controlled and smooth landing. However, there was a slight discrepancy in the touchdown rate, which was measured at -229 feet per minute (fpm), falling just short of being classified as "good."
The most notable aspect of the landing was the perfect alignment of the aircraft during the touchdown and rollout phases. The runway touchdown alignment was spot on, with the aircraft's fuselage aligned directly with the runway centerline. However, the rollout alignment was found to be slightly misaligned, with the aircraft deviating by 7.6 meters from the centerline.
During the landing, the local weather conditions were mild, with a temperature of 23 °C and a moderate headwind of 2 knots. There was a slight crosswind of 10 knots, which was managed effectively by the pilot, ensuring a stable and controlled landing. The total landing distance of 1,139 meters represents about 60% of the runway length, indicating a well-planned and executed landing.
Overall, the Airbus A320 aircraft demonstrated impressive flying skills and adherence to standard procedures during the landing at LGKR Corfu Ioannis Kapodistrias International Airport.
