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 17 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Keep the back pressure coming through the flare so the sink does not return at 201 fpm.
What happened: The flare arrested the sink, but then the sink returned before touchdown.
Watch for: Watch the VSI in the flare and keep arrested sink from returning before touchdown at 422 fpm.
See Arrival Landing
A small uncorrected heading error at 40 knots becomes a metre of offset per second by 100 knots, noticed only at rotation, producing a crabbed liftoff. Root cause is nearly always eyes on the tape instead of the far end of the runway. Small heading changes displace a distant point visibly long before the nearby centreline stripes look wrong.

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.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,043 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 177 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Airbus A319 taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Falcone–Borsellino Airport, taking 7 minutes and covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. Departure roll took place on runway 07, with the aircraft lifting off after a takeoff distance of 1,141 meters, which was 38% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 156 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it encountered local weather conditions of 19°C temperature and winds of 6 knots at 20°. The crosswind was 4 knots, and the headwind was also 4 knots. The enroute climb started 1 mile northeast of Cinisi, Sicilia, Italy, and the aircraft climbed from 1,023 feet above sea level to 32,009 feet above sea level, an increase of 30,985 feet in 16 minutes, covering a distance of 99 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 49 miles south of Anacapri, Campania, Italy, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering 15 nautical miles. However, the aircraft soon began its descent, starting 33 miles south of Anacapri, and descended from 32,000 feet above sea level to 24,006 feet above sea level, a decrease of 7,994 feet in 5 minutes, covering 38 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, this time overhead Termini, Campania, Italy, lasting for 2 minutes and covering 11 nautical miles. The descent phase started again, this time overhead Angri, Campania, Italy, and the aircraft descended from 24,009 feet above sea level to 11,728 feet above sea level, a decrease of 12,281 feet in 6 minutes, covering 28 nautical miles.
The aircraft entered another level cruise phase, this time 1 mile south of Gesualdo, Campania, Italy, lasting for 5 minutes and covering 11 nautical miles. The descent phase started once more, this time overhead Prata di Principato Ultra, Campania, Italy, and the aircraft descended from 11,749 feet above sea level to 1,650 feet above sea level, a decrease of 10,099 feet in 10 minutes, covering 21 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 24 at Naples International Airport was made from the northeast, heading 238.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,340 feet above ground level. The landing took place on runway 24, which was 2,043 meters long, with a good threshold height. The threshold speed was good at 126 knots, and the touchdown distance was also good at 179 meters. However, the touchdown speed was a little fast at 124 knots, and the touchdown rate was smooth at -139 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, but the runway rollout alignment was misaligned by 16.3 meters from the centreline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 14°C temperature and winds of 10 knots at 189°. The crosswind was 7 knots, and the headwind was 6 knots. The total landing distance was 724 meters, which was 35% of the runway length.
After landing, the aircraft taxiied to the parking area, taking 3 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 232 nautical miles, taking 57 minutes, and the aircraft used 2,016 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A319 aircraft successfully landed at LIRN Naples International Airport, achieving a score of 94.1%. The final approach to runway 24 was initiated from the north east, with a heading of 238.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,340 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a good threshold height, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 126 knots. The touchdown distance was within acceptable limits at 179 meters, but the touchdown speed of 124 knots was slightly higher than desired. However, the touchdown rate was smooth at -139 feet per minute (fpm), indicating a controlled descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 14°C, with a wind speed of 10 knots from a direction of 189°. This resulted in a crosswind of 7 knots and a headwind of 6 knots. Despite these conditions, the aircraft maintained a stable approach and landed safely.
The total landing distance was 724 meters, which is 35% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was well-controlled throughout the approach and landing phases. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 16.3 meters. This may be attributed to the pilot's response to the crosswind or other factors affecting the aircraft's directional control during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, and the aircraft scored well in terms of approach and landing performance. However, there is room for improvement in terms of touchdown speed and runway rollout alignment.
