Flight Score
Departure
Rotate sooner, bringing the nose up at 155 kt rather than letting speed build further.
What happened: You lifted off at 172 kt against a rotation target of 155 kt, rotating late in the ground roll.
Watch for: Watch airspeed and rotate at the target of 155 kt.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Fly a steeper descent on final so you cross the threshold at 50 ft agl instead of 82 ft agl.
What happened: The aircraft crossed the threshold at 82 ft agl against a 50 ft agl target, well above the normal profile. The touchdown point was also long at 798 m against a 457 m target, a pattern often seen after high threshold crossings.
Watch for: Radio altimeter against the 50 ft threshold crossing target on short final.
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.

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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,839 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,839 m of the 3,193 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 798 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Rome–Fiumicino Leonardo da Vinci International Airport (LIRF), the Airbus A320 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took approximately 8 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. Upon reaching runway 25, the aircraft initiated its departure roll, utilizing 1,681 meters, or 58% of the runway, to achieve liftoff at a speed of 172 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 26°C, with a gentle headwind of 3 knots and a crosswind of 9 knots from a direction of 180°.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it traversed a distance of 144 nautical miles, ascending from 1,008 feet above sea level to 31,009 feet in 21 minutes. The enroute climb phase concluded at a point 59 miles northwest of Ustica, Sicilia, Italy, where the aircraft transitioned into a brief level cruise phase, lasting only 2 minutes and covering 13 nautical miles. Subsequently, the aircraft began its descent, reducing its altitude from 30,888 feet to 1,343 feet in 19 minutes, while covering a distance of 95 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 07 at Falcone–Borsellino Airport (LICJ) was initiated from the southwest, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 67.0° at an altitude of 1,300 feet above ground level.
Upon landing on runway 07, the aircraft touched down 382 meters beyond the touchdown zone, at a speed of 134 knots, which was slightly faster than the target speed. The touchdown rate of -248 feet per minute was considered fair, while the runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned from the centerline by 17.1 meters. The total landing distance of 1,759 meters, or 59% of the runway, was utilized, with the runway rollout alignment also being misaligned by 16.2 meters from the centerline. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took 5 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance of 262 nautical miles was completed in 55 minutes, with the aircraft consuming 2,565 kilograms of fuel.
The aircraft touched down on runway 07 at LICJ Falcone–Borsellino Airport, with a threshold height significantly above the target at 82 ft agl. The approach quality was compromised by this discrepancy, which may have contributed to the slightly fast touchdown speed of 134 kt. The threshold speed, however, was good at 143 kt, indicating a well-executed flare.
The touchdown point was located 382 m beyond the touchdown zone, and the runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned by 17.1 m from the centreline. This misalignment persisted during the rollout phase, with the aircraft deviating by 16.2 m from the centreline. The touchdown rate of -248 fpm was fair, but the overall performance was impacted by the high touchdown speed and significant misalignment. The total landing distance of 1,759 m was 59% of the runway length, which is within acceptable limits.
The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 22 °C and a headwind of 13 kt, may have influenced the approach and landing. The wind was blowing at 14 kt from a direction of 50 °, resulting in a crosswind of 4 kt. Despite these conditions, the pilot's performance was not optimal, resulting in a score of 78.3%. This score reflects the combination of factors that affected the approach and landing, including the high threshold height, fast touchdown speed, and significant misalignment.
