Flight Score
Departure
Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.
What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 3.2°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

From brake release to the end of the climb, against time, then the takeoff point by point.
Lifted off at 147 kt with 9.9° of pitch.
Two traces from brake release: the airspeed on top, and below it the pitch, which is how far the nose is above the horizon. The figure at liftoff is the pitch then. The shaded stretch is Climb 3, the part of the climb scored on holding the climb speed.
The takeoff, point by point
Side view from the start of the roll to the end of Climb 3 at 982 ft.
Reached 35 ft with 941 m of runway left; then climbing at 2,260 fpm on average to 982 ft.
The takeoff from the side: the height above the runway against the distance along it. The numbers along the runway are the speeds reached at each point. Lifting off in the amber last quarter of the runway costs marks for the roll length. The shaded stretch is Climb 3, scored on its average speed against the target.
Plan view the roll down the 2,521 m runway.
Rolled from the start of the runway, drifted 1.6 m right of the centreline and was back on it to lift off. Airborne 51 % of the way down the runway, before the 75 % line.
The roll from above, with your left at the top. The line is where the wheels went, and "widest" is the furthest you drifted off the centreline. Lifting off before the amber 75 % line gets full marks for the roll length.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
At the 1,000 ft gate: centreline more than 1° off.
When the approach was stable
Every check met from 2.7 nm, about 770 ft above the runway, to the threshold, after the 1,000 ft gate and before the 500 ft gate. The last to settle was the centreline.
Each line is one of the gate checks, run along the whole final rather than only at the gates: green where it would have passed, amber where it would not. The glideslope, centreline and speed lines use the bands in the charts beside this card. The sink rate is allowed what the glideslope needs at your ground speed plus 600 fpm, the wings 10° of bank, and the gear and flap are read from when you moved the levers. The bottom line is green where every check held at once, ignoring blips shorter than 0.2 nm, and the sentence above it says from where it held to the threshold. A ring is a stabilisation gate, where the checks in the table were taken.
The final from 4 nm, with the stabilisation gates on it.
Profile height against the 3° glideslope, with its 1° band in green.
Inside the glideslope band from 4 nm to the threshold, never more than 170 ft below the slope.
Your height above the runway against the distance still to go. The glideslope is the steady descent path to the aiming point, 305 m past the threshold: 3° here, which is about 320 ft for every nautical mile out, crossing the threshold at about 50 ft. The row under the distances is the height it puts you at. Inside the green band your path is drawn green; outside it, amber. A ring is a stabilisation gate: green when every check there passed, amber with the failed checks named beside it.
Plan distance off the extended centreline, your left at the top, with the 1° band. Sideways distances are drawn 3× larger than distances along the final.
Inside the 1° band from 4 nm to 3.3 nm, then drifted 124 m right between 3.3 and 2.7 nm, then inside the band from 2.7 nm to the threshold.
Looking down from above, flying left to right towards the runway: up the page is left of the centreline, down is right. Sideways distances are stretched so that small drifts show, so a line that looks wild here may be only a few tens of feet. The labels are how far off you were at each distance, amber when outside the band.
Speed against the approach speed. The green band runs from 5 kt slow to 33 kt fast at the 1,000 ft gate, closing to 20 at 500 ft and 10 at the threshold.
Inside the speed band all the way, between +1 kt and +16 kt on the approach speed of 131 kt.
Your indicated airspeed down the final, against the approach speed for this aircraft at its landing weight. The band allows 5 kt slow and more on the fast side further out, closing as you get lower, because the speed is expected to come off on the way down. The figures are knots above (+) or below (−) the approach speed.
Over the threshold
Touchdown
Fair landing flare
Little crosswind (1 kt): nothing to correct for. Touched down straight, wings level.
Wind 300° at 2 kt · 2 kt head · 1 kt across
The wind is the one recorded at the landing, split along the runway (headwind or tailwind) and across it. To hold the centreline in a crosswind the nose points a little into wind - the crab - and is straightened with rudder just before the wheels touch, often with the into-wind wing lowered to stop the drift. These are the nose against the direction you were actually moving, and the wings, at the moment of touchdown. Shown for reading; not marked.
Side view — the last 2,052 m of the approach.
Crossed the threshold at 36 ft, 14 ft below the 50 ft target. Touched down 257 m in, 48 m short of the ideal 305 m.
The last stretch of the approach and the touchdown, from the side. The height is stretched so that the last few feet show: 80 ft top to bottom, against 2,052 m across. The dashed line is the ideal, 50 ft over the threshold and down 305 m in. The flare ring is where you began raising the nose, and "descent slowed" is where the sink came off; the figures beside them are the sink rate, pitch and speed at that point.
Sink and pitch — through the flare, lined up with the side view.
The sink went from 680 fpm at 34 ft to 360 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 2.6° on the way down.
Lined up with the side view above, so a point on one sits under the same point of the other. On top, how fast you were coming down: 0 is level, and −600 is 600 ft a minute down. Below, the pitch. In a flare the nose comes up and the descent slows towards 0. The figure at the touchdown line is your touchdown rate.
Plan view — the first 2,052 m of the 3,602 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down on the centreline, and stayed within 1.4 m of it down the rollout.
The runway from above, with your left at the top. Touching down inside the green bracket scores full marks for the distance. The shaded part is the rollout, up to where it ended. The arrow beside the runway is the crosswind, pointing the way the air was moving, so it pushed the aircraft that way.
The 257 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The 1.36 G arrival bounced 2 times.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft taxiing from the parking area to the runway at LIME Milan Bergamo Airport / Antonio Locatelli Air Base, taking approximately 8 minutes and covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 28, with the aircraft lifting off at a speed of 147 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 18 degrees Celsius, a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 269 degrees, and a crosswind of 0 knots with a headwind of 1 knot.
As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it began its enroute climb from 1,793 feet above sea level to 28,250 feet above sea level, an increase of 26,457 feet in 12 minutes, covering a distance of 59 nautical miles. The climb started overhead Orio al Serio in Lombardia, Italy. Following this, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, lasting 5 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile, 1 mile east of Cavedine in Trentino-Alto Adige, Italy.
The aircraft then began another climb phase, this time from 28,384 feet above sea level to 31,997 feet above sea level, an increase of 3,613 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 28 nautical miles. This climb started 2 miles east of Cavedine. The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, lasting 18 minutes and covering 140 nautical miles, 3 miles northwest of Canal San Bovo in Trentino-Alto Adige, Italy.
As the aircraft began its descent, it started from 32,001 feet above sea level to 2,353 feet above sea level, a decrease of 29,647 feet in 19 minutes, covering a distance of 94 nautical miles. This descent started 1 mile south of Grosslobming in Steiermark, Austria. The aircraft then began another climb phase, this time from 2,360 feet above sea level to 1,934 feet above sea level, an increase of 426 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles. This climb started 1 mile northwest of Jois in Burgenland, Austria.
The final approach to runway 34 at LOWW Vienna International Airport was made from the south, heading 347.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,301 feet above ground level. However, the aircraft performed a go-around at 24 feet above ground level. The aircraft then landed on runway 34, with a runway length of 3,602 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 142 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 258 meters, and the touchdown speed was 139 knots, which was also good. However, the touchdown rate was hard at -483 feet per minute.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 5 degrees Celsius, a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 308 degrees, and a crosswind of 1 knot with a headwind of 2 knots. The total landing distance was 1,974 meters, which was 55% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect. The total flight distance was 343 nautical miles, taking 74 minutes, and the aircraft used 2,239 kilograms of fuel.
