Flight Score
Arrival
Begin the flare with progressive back pressure and keep it coming until the sink is arrested, rather than flying it on flat.
What happened: The nose was barely raised in the flare and little of the sink was taken out, flying the aircraft onto the runway. This pattern usually carries through to a firm touchdown with a noticeable sink rate.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a smoothly reducing sink through the normal flare band, not a steady rate into the runway.
Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without 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 305 m and 152 m 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 2,401 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 161 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 8 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-700, then departed from runway 25 at LIRF Rome–Fiumicino Leonardo da Vinci International Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,205 meters, which accounted for 42% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 139 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 10 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 5 knots at a direction of 70 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 0 knots and a tailwind of 5 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, which started overhead the airport and took the aircraft from an altitude of 315 meters above sea level to 10,911 meters above sea level, an increase of 10,596.3 meters in 16 minutes, covering a distance of 86 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 29 miles south of Ponza, Italy, and lasted for 18 minutes, covering a distance of 135 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 26 miles north of Finale, Sicilia, Italy, and took the aircraft from an altitude of 11,019 meters above sea level to 2,077 meters above sea level, a decrease of 8,942.1 meters in 16 minutes, covering a distance of 88 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 1 mile north-west of LICB Comiso Airport, Comiso, Sicilia, Italy, and lasted for 12 minutes, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then began its final descent, which started 1 mile south-west of LICB Comiso Airport, Comiso, Sicilia, Italy, and took the aircraft from an altitude of 1,974 meters above sea level to 1,184 meters above sea level, a decrease of 790.5 meters in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered a final level cruise phase, which started 3 miles west of Vittoria, Sicilia, Italy, and lasted for 6 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 05 at LICB Comiso Airport, coming in from the south-west at a heading of 50.0 degrees at an altitude of 385.4 meters above ground level, and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway.
The landing on runway 05 at LICB Comiso Airport was successful, with a touchdown distance of 160 meters and a touchdown speed of 132 knots, which was slightly above the target speed. The touchdown rate was hard at -2.5 meters per second, but the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 14 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 5 knots at a direction of 190 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 3 knots and a tailwind of 4 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,396 meters, which accounted for 58% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 328 nautical miles, taking a total of 68 minutes, and the aircraft used 2,512 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-700 aircraft successfully landed at Comiso Airport (LICB) with a score of 96.4%. The final approach was conducted from the southwest, heading 50.0° at an altitude of 385.4 meters above ground level (agl) and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The aircraft maintained a good alignment with the runway during the approach.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed on runway 05, which has a length of 2,401 meters. The threshold height was satisfactory, but the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 133 knots. However, the touchdown distance of 160 meters was considered good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
The touchdown speed of 132 knots was a little fast, which may have contributed to the hard touchdown rate of -2.5 meters per second. Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was well-aligned with the runway during the landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 14°C and a wind speed of 5 knots from 190°. The crosswind component was minimal at 3 knots, while the tailwind component was 4 knots. These conditions likely contributed to the successful landing.
The total landing distance of 1,396 meters was 58% of the runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the aircraft maintained a stable and controlled roll-out after touchdown. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with a high score and minimal deviations from the target parameters.
