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 5.5 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Ground control varies with speed, full authority at walking pace, progressively reducing as groundspeed rises. The aircraft becomes twitchy at any speed, every small pedal input swings the nose, which can encourage large-amplitude leg inputs that no real aircraft would accept.

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.

Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,434 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 347 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Milano Linate Airport, taking 16 minutes and covering a distance of 4 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 36, with the aircraft lifting off at a speed of 148 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 12°C, with a wind speed of 9 knots at 99°, resulting in a crosswind of 8 knots and a tailwind of 2 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it passed overhead the Idroscalo Milan, a point located in the Lombardia region of Italy. The climb from 1,394 feet above sea level to 34,009 feet above sea level took 18 minutes and covered a distance of 107 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a level cruise, which lasted for 68 minutes and covered a distance of 483 nautical miles, with the aircraft passing overhead the town of Richterswil in the Kanton Zurich region of Switzerland.
As the aircraft began its descent, it started 1 mile east of the town of Guilsborough in the Northamptonshire region of England. The descent from 34,016 feet above sea level to 1,597 feet above sea level took 18 minutes and covered a distance of 76 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 23R at Manchester Airport, approaching from the north-east at a heading of 231.0° and at an altitude of 1,351 feet above ground level.
The landing took place on runway 23R, which had a length of 2,434 meters. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 6°C, with a wind speed of 5 knots at 140°, resulting in a crosswind of 5 knots and a headwind of 0 knots. The touchdown speed was 128 knots, and the touchdown distance was 348 meters, which was 50% of the runway length. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 5.7 meters.
The aircraft then taxied to the parking area, taking 6 minutes and covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 678 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 124 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 4,565 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed on runway 23R at Manchester Airport (EGCC) with a score of 96.9%. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the north east, heading 231.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,351 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot maintained a good threshold height, which is a critical aspect of a safe landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was recorded at 134 knots, which is within the acceptable range. The touchdown distance of 348 meters was also good, indicating that the pilot had sufficient control over the aircraft during the landing phase. The touchdown speed of 128 knots was also within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -173 feet per minute (fpm) was good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
However, there was a slight deviation in the runway touchdown position, with the aircraft being 5.7 meters off-centerline. This may be attributed to the crosswind component of 5 knots, which was blowing from the north. Despite this, the pilot maintained good control over the aircraft, and the runway rollout alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 6°C and a wind speed of 5 knots from 140°. There was no headwind component, and the crosswind component was relatively light. Overall, the pilot's performance during the landing was good, and the aircraft landed safely on the runway.
