Improve the rollout
Ground control varies with speed, full authority at walking pace, progressively reducing as groundspeed rises. The aircraft becomes twitchy at any speed, every small pedal input swings the nose, which can encourage large-amplitude leg inputs that no real aircraft would accept.

One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,836 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 366 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 11 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 36 at Milano Linate Airport (LIML). The takeoff distance was 1,693 meters, which accounted for 69% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 167 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 11 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 4 knots at a direction of 30 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 4 knots. The aircraft began its enroute climb 1 mile southwest of Segrate, Lombardia, Italy, and ascended from an altitude of 1,395 feet above sea level to 33,221 feet above sea level, an increase of 31,826 feet, in 20 minutes and covering a distance of 104 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started overhead Gaggio Montano, Emilia-Romagna, Italy, and lasted for 42 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 309 nautical miles. The descent from the cruise altitude began 11 miles south of Acciaroli, Campania, Italy, and the aircraft descended from 34,152 feet above sea level to 1,780 feet above sea level, a decrease of 32,372 feet, in 29 minutes and covering a distance of 110 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 17 at Crotone Airport (LIBC) was made from the north, heading 169.0 degrees at an altitude of 4 nautical miles and 1,260 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 17 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 369 meters, which was 46% of the runway length. The touchdown speed was 136 knots, and the touchdown rate was fair at -281 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.2 meters from the centreline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 7 knots at a direction of 140 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 6 knots. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 11.9 meters from the centreline. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 531 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 105 minutes. The aircraft used 4,215 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at LIBC Crotone Airport, achieving a high score of 95.1%. The final approach to runway 17 was initiated from the north, with the aircraft heading 169.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,260 feet above ground level.
The landing was executed smoothly, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 140 knots, which was within the threshold speed requirements. The touchdown distance of 369 meters was also within the acceptable limits, indicating a well-controlled descent. However, the touchdown rate of -281 feet per minute was only fair, suggesting that the aircraft could have been brought down more gently.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's position on the runway was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 5.2 meters. This minor deviation may have been due to factors such as wind or pilot error. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 16°C and a gentle wind of 7 knots from 140°.
The crosswind component was minimal at 3 knots, while the headwind component was 6 knots, which helped to stabilize the aircraft during the landing. The total landing distance of 850 meters was 46% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft was able to stop within a reasonable distance.
During the rollout phase, the aircraft's alignment with the runway centreline was again slightly off, this time by 11.9 meters. This minor deviation may have been due to the same factors that contributed to the initial misalignment. Overall, the landing was successful, and the aircraft was able to come to a stop within a safe distance from the runway end.
