MY FS FLIGHTS
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 2.8°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
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 52 ft.
What happened: The flare began at 52 ft, 7.1 ft earlier than the normal band.
Watch for: Radio altimeter: start the flare within the normal flare band
See Arrival Landing
Below 10,000 ft you are typically limited to 250 kt indicated (a US rule that much of the world mirrors in some form, though not universally). This forces a deceleration around 10,000 ft whether the profile wants one or not, so plan for it rather than discovering 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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: off the centreline and speed above the reference speed.
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.
The 405 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft, an Airbus A320, taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Catania-Fontanarossa Airport, which took approximately 6 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 08, and the takeoff distance was 1,176 meters, which accounted for 52% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 142 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 8 knots at 94 degrees. The crosswind was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind was 8 knots. The enroute climb began approximately 1 mile southeast of Catania, Sicilia, Italy, and the aircraft ascended from 1,038 feet above sea level to 29,655 feet above sea level, an increase of 28,617 feet, in 14 minutes and covering a distance of 69 nautical miles.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 3 miles west of Panarea, Sicilia, Italy, and lasted for 7 minutes, covering a distance of 50 nautical miles. The enroute descent began 48 miles southwest of Palinuro, Campania, Italy, and the aircraft descended from 29,719 feet above sea level to 1,785 feet above sea level, a decrease of 27,934 feet, in 19 minutes and covering a distance of 86 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 06 at Naples International Airport was made from the southwest, heading 55.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,474 feet above ground level. The landing took place on runway 06, which had a length of 2,043 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 140 knots. The touchdown distance was 405 meters, which was within acceptable limits. However, the touchdown speed was a little fast at 136 knots, and the touchdown rate was hard at -426 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 9 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 8 knots at 19 degrees. The crosswind was 5 knots, while the headwind was 6 knots. The total landing distance was 1,186 meters, which accounted for 58% of the runway.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, which took approximately 4 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 214 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 52 minutes. The aircraft used 1,977 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at LIRN Naples International Airport, achieving a score of 96.9%. The aircraft approached the runway from the southwest, heading 55.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,474 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with precision, and the aircraft landed safely on runway 06, which has a length of 2,043 meters.
The threshold height was satisfactory, and the threshold speed of 140 knots was well within the acceptable range. The touchdown distance of 405 meters was also within the expected parameters. However, the touchdown speed of 136 knots was slightly higher than the ideal speed, which may have contributed to a harder touchdown rate of -426 feet per minute (fpm). Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was well-aligned with the runway.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 9°C, with a wind speed of 8 knots from a direction of 19°. The crosswind component was 5 knots, while the headwind component was 6 knots. These conditions did not appear to have a significant impact on the landing, as the aircraft was able to maintain a stable approach and touchdown.
The total landing distance of 1,186 meters was 58% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. This suggests that the aircraft was able to decelerate quickly and efficiently after touchdown. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain a stable and controlled descent after touchdown.
Overall, the landing was successful, and the aircraft was able to execute a precise and controlled touchdown on the runway. While there were some minor issues with the touchdown speed and rate, the overall performance of the aircraft was satisfactory, and the landing was completed with a high degree of precision and control.
