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 2.6°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
A small uncorrected heading error at 40 knots becomes a metre of offset per second by 100 knots, noticed only at rotation, producing a crabbed liftoff. Root cause is nearly always eyes on the tape instead of the far end of the runway. Small heading changes displace a distant point visibly long before the nearby centreline stripes look wrong.

From brake release to the end of the climb, against time, then the takeoff point by point.
Lifted off at 69 kt with 8.3° of pitch.
Two traces from brake release: the airspeed on top, and below it the pitch, which is how far the nose is above the horizon. The figure at liftoff is the pitch then. The shaded stretch is Climb 3, the part of the climb scored on holding the climb speed.
The takeoff, point by point
Side view from the start of the roll to the end of Climb 3 at 932 ft. The distance scale changes past the runway end.
Reached 35 ft with 505 m of runway left; then climbing at 700 fpm on average to 932 ft.
The takeoff from the side: the height above the runway against the distance along it. The numbers along the runway are the speeds reached at each point. Lifting off in the amber last quarter of the runway costs marks for the roll length. The shaded stretch is Climb 3, scored on its average speed against the target.
Plan view the roll down the 1,193 m runway.
Rolled from 267 m in, drifted right of the centreline, 8.9 m at the widest, and lifted off 6.9 m right. Airborne 43 % of the way down the runway, before the 75 % line.
The roll from above, with your left at the top. The line is where the wheels went, and "widest" is the furthest you drifted off the centreline. Lifting off before the amber 75 % line gets full marks for the roll length. The arrow beside the runway is the crosswind, pointing the way the air was moving, so it pushed the aircraft that way.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
When the approach was stable
Every check met from 0.5 nm, about 170 ft above the runway, to the threshold, after the 500 ft gate. The last to settle was the speed.
Each line is one of the gate checks, run along the whole final rather than only at the gates: green where it would have passed, amber where it would not. The glideslope, centreline and speed lines use the bands in the charts beside this card. The sink rate is allowed what the glideslope needs at your ground speed plus 600 fpm, the wings 10° of bank, and the gear and flap are read from when you moved the levers. The bottom line is green where every check held at once, ignoring blips shorter than 0.2 nm, and the sentence above it says from where it held to the threshold. A ring is a stabilisation gate, where the checks in the table were taken.
The final from 4 nm, with the stabilisation gates on it.
Profile height against the 3° glideslope, with its 2° band in green.
Inside the glideslope band from 4 nm to the threshold, never more than 70 ft above the slope.
Your height above the runway against the distance still to go. The glideslope is the steady descent path to the aiming point, 305 m past the threshold: 3° here, which is about 320 ft for every nautical mile out, crossing the threshold at about 50 ft. The row under the distances is the height it puts you at. Inside the green band your path is drawn green; outside it, amber. A ring is a stabilisation gate: green when every check there passed, amber with the failed checks named beside it.
Plan distance off the extended centreline, your left at the top, with the 1° band. Sideways distances are drawn 7× larger than distances along the final.
Inside the 1° band all the way from 4 nm, never more than 56 m off the centreline.
Looking down from above, flying left to right towards the runway: up the page is left of the centreline, down is right. Sideways distances are stretched so that small drifts show, so a line that looks wild here may be only a few tens of feet. The labels are how far off you were at each distance, amber when outside the band.
Speed against the approach speed. The green band runs from 5 kt slow to 41 kt fast at the 1,000 ft gate, closing to 24 at 500 ft and 10 at the threshold.
Inside the speed band from 4 nm to 1.5 nm, then fast to 0.5 nm (up to +25 kt), then inside the band to the threshold.
Your indicated airspeed down the final, against the approach speed for this aircraft at its landing weight. The band allows 5 kt slow and more on the fast side further out, closing as you get lower, because the speed is expected to come off on the way down. The figures are knots above (+) or below (−) the approach speed.
Over the threshold
Touchdown
Great landing flare
4 kt across from the left, which takes about 3° of crab to hold the centreline at 68 kt. Touched down with the nose 4° into wind, wings level.
Wind 190° at 5 kt · 3 kt tail · 4 kt across
The wind is the one recorded at the landing, split along the runway (headwind or tailwind) and across it. To hold the centreline in a crosswind the nose points a little into wind - the crab - and is straightened with rudder just before the wheels touch, often with the into-wind wing lowered to stop the drift. These are the nose against the direction you were actually moving, and the wings, at the moment of touchdown. Shown for reading; not marked.
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Crossed the threshold at 6 ft, 44 ft below the 50 ft target. Touched down 184 m in, 121 m short of the ideal 305 m.
The last stretch of the approach and the touchdown, from the side. The height is stretched so that the last few feet show: 80 ft top to bottom, against 1,524 m across. The dashed line is the ideal, 50 ft over the threshold and down 305 m in. The flare ring is where you began raising the nose, and "descent slowed" is where the sink came off; the figures beside them are the sink rate, pitch and speed at that point.
Sink and pitch — through the flare, lined up with the side view.
The sink went from 290 fpm at 4 ft to 60 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 2.0° on the way down.
Lined up with the side view above, so a point on one sits under the same point of the other. On top, how fast you were coming down: 0 is level, and −600 is 600 ft a minute down. Below, the pitch. In a flare the nose comes up and the descent slows towards 0. The figure at the touchdown line is your touchdown rate.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,376 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down on the centreline.
The runway from above, with your left at the top. Touching down inside the green bracket scores full marks for the distance. The shaded part is the rollout, up to where it ended. The arrow beside the runway is the crosswind, pointing the way the air was moving, so it pushed the aircraft that way.
The 184 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report

The aircraft then leveled off and cruised for 5 minutes, covering 10 nautical miles.
The aircraft continued its descent, starting 7 miles northeast of Gabicce Mare, Italy.

The aircraft then leveled off and cruised for 3 minutes, covering 5 nautical miles.
The aircraft began its final descent, starting 2 miles southeast of Gradara, Italy. This descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 2,945 feet to 1,286 feet, a decrease of 1,659 feet in 4 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 31 at LIPR Federico Fellini International Airport, flying from the southeast at a heading of 308.0 degrees and an altitude of 1,251 feet above ground level. The aircraft landed on the runway, which was 2,376 meters long, with a good threshold height. The threshold speed was slightly above the target speed at 76 knots, but the touchdown distance was good at 182 meters, and the touchdown speed was 68 knots, which was good. The touchdown rate was perfect at -49 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 8 knots from a direction of 190 degrees. The crosswind was 7 knots, and the tailwind was 4 knots.
The total flight distance was 81 nautical miles, and the flight took 44 minutes to complete. The aircraft used 22 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
