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 7.9°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
Arrival
Hold the aim point and wait for the speed to bleed before raising the nose, starting the flare within the normal band instead of 63 ft.
What happened: The flare began at 63 ft, 18 ft earlier than the normal band.
Watch for: Radio altimeter: start the flare within the normal flare band
See Arrival Landing
Below a thousand feet the aeroplane is slow, heavy and close to the ground. A steep turn loses lift, raises the stall speed and flattens the climb just when the gradient matters most. A normal turn on course is a rate one — fifteen degrees or so, twenty-five at the outside, this penalty is to acknowledge when a turn has stopped being a turn and become a manoeuvre.

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 305 m and 152 m above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,401 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 103 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 area to the runway, which took 9 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-700, then departed from runway 36 at Milano Linate Airport (LIML). The takeoff distance was 1,397 meters, which accounted for 57% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 150 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 15°C and winds of 3 knots at 206 degrees. The crosswind was 1 knot, while the tailwind was 2 knots. The enroute climb began overhead the Idroscalo Milan, a location in Lombardia, Italy, and continued to an altitude of 10,426 meters above sea level. This climb, which covered a distance of 87 nautical miles, took 15 minutes and resulted in an increase of 10,001.7 meters.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 1 mile south west of Montefiorino in Emilia-Romagna, Italy. This phase lasted for 52 minutes and covered a distance of 389 nautical miles. The descent phase began 18 miles north of Cefalu in Sicilia, Italy, and saw the aircraft descend from 10,481 meters to 595 meters above sea level. This descent, which covered a distance of 88 nautical miles, took 20 minutes and resulted in a decrease of 9,885.2 meters.
The final approach to runway 05 at Comiso Airport (LICB) was made from the south west, with the aircraft heading at 52.0 degrees at an altitude of 375.4 meters above ground level and 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing on runway 05 was successful, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 128 knots. The touchdown distance was 105 meters, and the touchdown rate was firm at -2.0 meters per second. However, the touchdown speed was a little fast, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.3 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 10°C and winds of 6 knots at 59 degrees. The crosswind was 1 knot, while the headwind was 6 knots. The total landing distance was 567 meters, which accounted for 24% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking area took just 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
In total, the flight covered a distance of 573 nautical miles and took 98 minutes to complete. The aircraft used 3,900 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-700 aircraft successfully landed at Comiso Airport (LICB) with a score of 97.8%. The final approach was conducted from the southwest, heading 52.0° at an altitude of 375.4 meters above ground level (agl) and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, and the threshold speed of 128 knots was also satisfactory.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's landing distance was 567 meters, which accounted for 24% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating a smooth and controlled touchdown. However, the touchdown speed of 128 knots was slightly faster than ideal, which may have contributed to a firmer touchdown rate of -2.0 meters per second.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.3 meters from the centerline, which may require some adjustments to the aircraft's alignment during future approaches. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 10°C, a wind speed of 6 knots at 59°, resulting in a 1-knot crosswind and a 6-knot headwind.
Despite the slightly faster touchdown speed and misaligned touchdown position, the aircraft's runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating a high degree of control and stability during the landing phase. Overall, the landing was successful, and the aircraft's performance was satisfactory, with a score of 97.8%.
