Flight Score
Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.
What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 9 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Stop the rotation once the sink is arrested at 0.3 ft, holding the normal landing attitude instead of continuing to pull back.
What happened: The flare pitch reached 1.5°, well above this type's ground attitude, and touchdown followed at a sink rate of 225 fpm. Over-rotating the flare like this usually carries through to a firm or hard touchdown.
Watch for: Attitude indicator: hold the normal landing attitude once sink is arrested at 0.3 ft.
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.

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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,090 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 331 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Airbus A320-ceo departed Milan Malpensa International Airport (LIMC) on runway 35R. The take-off roll was 2,155 m, using 55 % of the runway, and rotation occurred at 157 kt. Local weather was 12 °C with wind 8 kt from 020°, giving a 4 kt cross-wind and a 7 kt head-wind.
Initial climb to 1,000 ft agl lasted 26 seconds, averaging 1,933 fpm and reaching 155 kt at the top of the segment. The climb continued from 1,837 ft asl to 30,035 ft asl in 14 minutes, covering 79 nm, beginning about 1 mile south-west of Casorate Sempione. Cruise was level at 30,400 ft asl for 161 minutes, covering 1,072 nm, starting roughly 1 mile north-west of Cuorgne. Descent began at 30,656 ft asl and proceeded to 2,804 ft asl in 26 minutes, covering 114 nm, starting about 1 mile south-east of Settat.
On final approach to runway 10 at Menara Airport (GMMX), descent from 1,318 ft agl to 21 ft agl took 100 seconds. Stabilisation checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway were met for gear down, landing flap, sink rate, glideslope, centreline, speed and wings level. The landing gear was lowered at 3,041 ft agl at 160 kt; final flap position 5 was selected at 2,235 ft agl at 158 kt.
Landing on runway 10, which is 3,090 m long, the threshold speed was 134 kt and the touchdown speed was 127 kt, noted as a little fast. Touchdown occurred 331 m down the runway with a rate of -226 fpm, described as fair. The flare was good, though the nose was raised too far. No bounce occurred. Total landing distance was 937 m, representing 30 % of the runway, and rollout alignment was perfect. Local weather at landing was 19 °C with wind 1 kt from 026°, giving a 1 kt cross-wind and no head-wind.
After landing, taxi to the parking area took 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nm. The overall flight covered 1,279 nm in 217 minutes and consumed 7,781 kg of fuel.
