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 21 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 3,890 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 390 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, the Airbus A319 began its journey on runway 24, taking off with a distance of 1,145 meters, which covered 36% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 158 knots, with a local temperature of 22 degrees Celsius and a wind of 12 knots at 269 degrees. The crosswind component was 6 knots, while the headwind component was 10 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it began its enroute climb 1 mile north of Aalsmeerderbrug, Netherlands. The climb phase lasted 18 minutes, during which the aircraft ascended from 960 feet above sea level to 37,009 feet, an increase of 36,049 feet. The enroute level cruise phase started 2 miles west of Wermelskirchen, Germany, and lasted 64 minutes, covering a distance of 486 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent 2 miles north of Bibbiena, Italy, descending from 36,490 feet to 1,319 feet in 30 minutes, covering 152 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 16L at Rome–Fiumicino Leonardo da Vinci International Airport was initiated from the north, with the aircraft heading 163.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,297 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown distance of 391 meters, which was 27% of the runway length. The touchdown speed was 121 knots, and the touchdown rate was -542 feet per minute, indicating a hard touchdown. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was also perfect. The total landing distance was 1,067 meters, and the taxiing to the parking from the runway took 6 minutes, covering 3 nautical miles. The total flight distance was 770 nautical miles, taking 125 minutes, and the aircraft used 4,147 kilograms of fuel.
The aircraft, an Airbus A319, successfully executed a final approach to runway 16L at LIRF Rome–Fiumicino Leonardo da Vinci International Airport from the north, aligning with the runway heading of 163.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,297 feet above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 126 knots, indicating a well-controlled descent.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft exhibited a good touchdown distance of 391 meters, with a speed of 121 knots. However, the touchdown rate was somewhat hard, at -542 feet per minute, which may have resulted in a slight jolt for the passengers. Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating a precise control of the aircraft during the final stages of the approach. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 25°C and a gentle tailwind of 8 knots, contributed to a smooth touchdown.
The aircraft's rollout was equally impressive, with perfect alignment along the runway centerline. The total landing distance of 1,067 meters, which accounted for only 27% of the runway length, was a testament to the pilot's skill and the aircraft's performance. Overall, the landing was deemed a success, with a score of 95.8% reflecting the high level of proficiency demonstrated by the crew.
