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 7.3 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
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 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 2,803 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 286 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Boeing 737-800 taxied from the parking area to runway 02 at LIMP Parma Airport, a movement that lasted 8 minutes and covered less than 1 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 02, the aircraft accelerated over a takeoff distance of 1,250 m, representing 82 % of the runway, and lifted off at 157 kt. Local weather reported a temperature of 27 °C, wind 6 kt at 269 °, a crosswind component of 6 kt and a tailwind component of 2 kt.
Climb commenced approximately 1 mile north of LIMP Parma Airport, with the airplane climbing from 1,102 ft asl to 36,873 ft asl, an increase of 35,770 ft achieved in 19 minutes while covering 118 nm.
Level cruise began 14 miles north west of Marciana, lasting 15 minutes and encompassing a distance of 107 nm.
Descent was initiated 8 miles east of Porto Cervo, descending from 37,000 ft asl to 1,270 ft asl, a decrease of 35,730 ft completed in 30 minutes and covering 155 nm.
The final approach to runway 32 at LIEE Cagliari Elmas Airport was flown from the south east, on a heading of 318.0 ° at 4 nm and 1,244 ft agl.
Landing was executed on runway 32, whose length is 2,801 m. The threshold speed was recorded at 144 kt and the touchdown distance measured 286 m. Although the touchdown speed of 144 kt was noted as a little fast, the touchdown rate was very hard at minus 520 fpm and the touchdown point was slightly misaligned by 4.9 m from the centreline. Local conditions at the time were temperature 27 °C, wind 9 kt at 10 °, a crosswind of 7 kt and a headwind of 6 kt. The total landing distance was 1,320 m, representing 47 % of the runway.
Runway rollout alignment was very good.
After rollout, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in 3 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 387nm, took 73 and used 3,047 kg of fuel.
The final approach to runway 32 at LIEE Cagliari Elmas Airport was flown from the south-east on a heading of 318.0° at 4 nm and 1,244 ft agl. At the 1,000 ft gate the approach was assessed as stabilised, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope and centreline all within limits, and the aircraft maintained a steady descent in the reported 27 °C temperature and wind of 9 kt from 10° (7 kt crosswind, 6 kt headwind).
During the threshold and flare phase the threshold height was reported as good and the threshold speed was good at 144 kt. The aircraft continued the flare without deviation from the expected profile.
Touchdown occurred 286 m down the runway at a speed of 144 kt, noted as a little fast, with a very hard touchdown rate of minus 520 fpm. The touchdown point was slightly misaligned, being 4.9 m off the centreline.
Rollout used a total landing distance of 1,320 m, representing 47 % of the 2,801 m runway, and the runway rollout alignment was very good.
With a score of 94.8 % the landing was strong overall; reducing the touchdown speed slightly toward the target VREF and moderating the flare to avoid a hard rate will further improve energy management and passenger comfort.
