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 5.2 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Apply steady, continuous back pressure through the flare to arrest the sink smoothly and hold the normal profile, rather than letting it drift.
What happened: The flare did not hold its target profile, with the sink most arrested at 0.3 ft, and this flight then touched down at 266 fpm of sink - a firm arrival. An unsettled flare profile like this usually carries through to a firmer touchdown.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a smooth, steadily decreasing sink rate through the flare to touchdown.
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.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
At the 1,000 ft gate: off the centreline.
At the 500 ft gate: off the runway's 3° glideslope.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,812 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 379 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Airbus A320 taxied from its parking to the runway, covering a distance of one nautical mile in six minutes. Once cleared for departure, the aircraft took off from runway 03R at Athens Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport with a takeoff distance of 1,541 meters, covering just 45% of the runway. The aircraft achieved liftoff speed of 152 knots in due course.
During the initial climb, the aircraft departed from a height of 1,376 feet above sea level, rising to 39,734 feet in the span of 19 minutes, covering a distance of 112 nautical miles. This climb phase began overhead Artemida in Attica, Greece. Following the enroute climb, the aircraft transitioned to a level cruise, which commenced approximately 14 miles northeast of Amorgos in the South Aegean, Greece, and covered a distance of 290 nautical miles in the span of 135 minutes.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its enroute descent, commencing approximately 40 miles northwestern of Polis in Paphos District, Cyprus, at a height of 39,928 feet above sea level. In the span of 20 minutes, the descent reduced the aircraft's altitude to 1,067 feet, covering a distance of 97 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 04 at Larnaca International Airport involved a heading of 43.0 degrees from the south-west, at a height of 3 nautical miles and 1,057 feet above ground level. The aircraft completed a smooth landing on the designated runway, having covered a distance of 381 meters beyond the threshold. The touchdown speed of 125 knots was found to be a little fast, and the touchdown rate was firm at -314 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was considered perfect, despite the local weather conditions, with a temperature of 24 degrees Celsius and a minimal tailwind.
Upon landing, the aircraft rolled onto the runway, with a total landing distance of 1,131 meters, accounting for 40% of the runway. Although the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned from the centreline, by 11.5 meters, it still met the required standards. Taxiing to the parking from the runway took just four minutes, covering a brief distance of less than a nautical mile.
Overall, the flight covered a total distance of 507 nautical miles, lasting for 89 minutes and utilizing 3,178 kilograms of fuel.
The Airbus A320 has successfully landed at Larnaca International Airport (LCLK) with a score of 92.4%. The aircraft began its final approach from the southwest, heading directly towards runway 04 at a distance of 3 nautical miles with an altitude of 1,057 feet above ground level. The aircraft successfully touched down on the runway with a speed of 129 knots, which is well within the target speed threshold.
Although the threshold height was 61 feet above the target, indicating a slight miscalculation in the landing approach, the aircraft managed to maintain a firm touchdown rate of -314 feet per minute. The touchdown distance was 381 meters, which is within acceptable limits. However, the touchdown speed of 125 knots was slightly above the optimal speed, indicating that the pilot could have applied more gentle braking.
The total landing distance was 1,131 meters, which is 40% of the runway length. This is a manageable distance, considering the aircraft landed on runway 04, which has a length of 2,812 meters. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 11.5 meters from the centerline, indicating that the aircraft may have deviated slightly from the desired path during the rollout.
Weather conditions at the time of landing were calm, with a temperature of 24 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 4 knots from an angle of 288 degrees. Although there was a crosswind of 4 knots, the tailwind was only 2 knots, which suggests that wind conditions were relatively stable and not significantly affecting the landing. Overall, the landing was successful, but there are areas for improvement regarding speed control and rollout alignment.
