Flight Score
Arrival
Track the centreline through touchdown using small rudder corrections against a point at the far end of the runway.
What happened: The aircraft touched down off the centreline at 12 m, and drifting off centreline at touchdown usually carries through into the rollout, as it did here with alignment reaching 23 m.
Watch for: Watch runway centreline position, keeping deviation inside the limit through touchdown and rollout.
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.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: seven checks where the approach path is 300 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out. These checks are the approach's score.
At the 300 ft gate: sink rate 1,383 fpm, more than the glideslope needed, glideslope 4.3° against the runway's 3°, centreline 3.1° off, against a 1° limit and wings 20° of bank, against a 10° limit.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,461 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,461 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 117 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Grenoble-Isère Airport, the Airbus A320 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 9 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. As the aircraft lined up on runway 27, it was cleared for departure, and with a liftoff speed of 150 knots, it successfully took off, covering a distance of 1,499 meters, which was 49% of the runway length. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 20°C, with a wind speed of 14 knots at 330°, resulting in a crosswind of 12 knots and a headwind of 7 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to its enroute cruise altitude, it passed overhead Brezins, Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes, France, and continued its ascent to 29,469 feet above sea level, an increase of 27,291 feet in 12 minutes, covering a distance of 79 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a level cruise, which lasted for 14 minutes and covered 116 nautical miles, before beginning its descent to a lower altitude. The descent from 30,000 feet to 12,105 feet above sea level took 10 minutes, covering a distance of 73 nautical miles. The aircraft continued to descend and level off at various altitudes, before finally beginning its final approach to runway 19 at Bolzano Airport.
The final approach to runway 19 was made from the north, with the aircraft heading 192.0° at an altitude of 103 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown distance of 207 meters, which was slightly longer than the threshold speed of 132 knots. However, the touchdown speed of 130 knots was a little fast, and the touchdown rate was very hard at -524 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 10.8 meters from the centerline, and the runway rollout alignment was also misaligned by 23.2 meters from the centerline. The total landing distance was 1,368 meters, which was 111% of the runway length. The total flight distance was 341 nautical miles, taking 67 minutes, and the aircraft used 2,510 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The final approach to runway 19 at LIPB Bolzano Airport from the north was initiated at 0 nm and 103 ft above ground level, heading 192.0°. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height and threshold speed of 132 kt, which met the expected standards. The aircraft touched down at a speed of 130 kt, slightly above the optimal range, resulting in a very hard touchdown rate of -524 fpm.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's distance from the runway centreline was 10.8 m off-centre, indicating a slight deviation from the desired alignment. The touchdown distance of 207 m was within the acceptable range, demonstrating good control and precision during the landing phase. The total landing distance of 1,368 m, however, exceeded the runway length by 111%, indicating a longer-than-expected rollout phase.
The runway rollout alignment was also found to be misaligned by 23.2 m from the centreline, suggesting a need for improvement in the aircraft's control and directional stability during the rollout phase. Despite these minor deviations, the overall landing performance was satisfactory, with a score of 75.2%. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15 °C and a light wind of 1 kt at 269°, did not appear to have a significant impact on the landing.
