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 13 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Begin raising the nose earlier, by 11 ft, so the flare has time to arrest the sink before touchdown.
What happened: The flare began late at 1 ft, 10 ft below the normal band, and a late flare like this usually leaves too little time to arrest the sink before touchdown.
Watch for: Watch radio altitude and start the flare in the normal band, around 11 ft.
Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without it.

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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,387 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 476 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 8 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, an Airbus A320, then departed from runway 03R at Athens Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport (LGAV). The takeoff distance was 1,601 meters, which accounted for 47% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 158 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 32 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 13 knots from a direction of 60 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 5 knots and a headwind of 12 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile southwest of Artemida in Attica, Greece. The climb took 22 minutes and covered a distance of 98 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 1,318 feet above sea level to 39,113 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 10 miles northwest of Lidoriki in Central Greece. This phase lasted for 14 minutes and covered a distance of 315 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 9 miles south of Ston in Dubrovacko-Neretvanska Zupanija, Croatia. The descent took 23 minutes and covered a distance of 78 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from an altitude of 38,521 feet to 1,358 feet.
The final approach to runway 05 at Split Airport (LDSP) was made from the southwest, with the aircraft heading 52.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,289 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 05, which had a length of 2,387 meters. The threshold height at 78 feet above ground level was well above the target, and the threshold speed was good at 132 knots. The touchdown point was 62 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 130 knots, which was good. However, the touchdown rate was very heavy at -863 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 7.0 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 27 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 7 knots from a direction of 188 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 5 knots and a tailwind of 5 knots. The total landing distance was 1,017 meters, which accounted for 43% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
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 499 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 70 minutes. The aircraft used a total of -2,999 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 aircraft successfully landed at LDSP Split Airport, achieving a score of 86.2%. The final approach to runway 05 was initiated from the south-west, with a heading of 52.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,289 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway, with the threshold height being well above the target. However, the threshold speed was satisfactory at 132 knots. The touchdown point was located 62 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was also good at 130 knots. Unfortunately, the touchdown rate was quite heavy, measuring -863 feet per minute (fpm), which is a concern.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 7.0 meters. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 27°C, with a wind speed of 7 knots from a direction of 188°. The crosswind and tailwind components were both 5 knots, indicating a relatively calm environment.
The total landing distance covered by the aircraft was 1,017 meters, which accounts for 43% of the runway length. Notably, the runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain a stable and controlled descent after touchdown. Overall, while there were some areas for improvement, the landing was considered successful, with a score of 86.2%.
