Improve the rollout
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.
One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,447 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 523 m past the threshold — beyond 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 LIEA Alghero-Fertilia Airport. This process took 7 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 20, and the takeoff distance was 1,480 meters, which is 49% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 151 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 26 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 3 knots at 189 degrees. The crosswind was 1 knot, and the headwind was 3 knots. After departure, the enroute climb started overhead Fertilia, Sardegna, Italy, where the aircraft climbed from an altitude of 1,072 feet above sea level to 29,799 feet above sea level, an increase of 28,726 feet in 12 minutes and covering a distance of 46 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 25 miles southwest of Serra-di-Ferro, Corse, France, and lasted for 20 minutes, covering a distance of 147 nautical miles. The enroute descent started 30 miles south of Portofino, Liguria, Italy, and the aircraft descended from 29,917 feet above sea level to 1,648 feet above sea level, a decrease of 28,268 feet in 18 minutes and covering a distance of 94 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 36 at LIML Milano Linate Airport was made from the south, heading 356.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,277 feet above ground level. The landing took place on runway 36, which has a length of 2,447 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 130 knots. However, the touchdown point was 108 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was a little fast at 125 knots. The touchdown rate was firm at -358 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 8.2 meters from the centreline, and the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 10.3 meters from the centreline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 14 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots at 30 degrees. The crosswind was 1 knot, and the headwind was 2 knots. The total landing distance was 1,186 meters, which is 48% of the runway length.
After landing, the aircraft taxiing to the parking area from the runway took 4 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 296 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 64 minutes. The aircraft used 2,167 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at LIML Milano Linate Airport, achieving a score of 94.0%. The aircraft approached the runway from the south, heading 356.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,277 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a smooth final approach, maintaining a good threshold height and achieving the desired threshold speed of 130 knots.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 108 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is slightly outside the recommended area. The touchdown speed of 125 knots was a bit faster than the ideal speed, resulting in a firm touchdown rate of -358 feet per minute (fpm). The runway touchdown position was also slightly misaligned from the centerline by 8.2 meters, which may have contributed to the slightly off-center touchdown.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 14°C and a gentle wind of 2 knots at 30°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 2 knots, which helped to stabilize the aircraft during the landing. The total landing distance of 1,186 meters was 48% of the available runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll.
However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 10.3 meters, which may have resulted from the initial touchdown position being off-center. Despite this, the pilot managed to maintain control of the aircraft and bring it to a stop within a reasonable distance. Overall, the landing was successful, but there is room for improvement in terms of touchdown speed and alignment.
