Flight Score
Departure
On the roll, make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline within 4.6 m.
What happened: The takeoff roll drifted off the centreline by 4.6 m, and excess bank then carried through all three climb segments. A drifted roll like this usually leads into wandering bank angle through the climb.
Watch for: Watch the heading indicator and runway centreline during the roll, and the attitude indicator for wings level through the climb.

Arrival
Close the throttles earlier on final so you cross the threshold at 139 kt rather than carrying excess speed.
What happened: The aircraft crossed the threshold at 146 kt, 7 kt above the 139 kt target, and the nose was then only raised 0.6° in the flare, taking out little of the sink. Crossing the threshold fast like this usually carries extra energy into a flare that barely arrests the sink, and that combination usually ends in a firm touchdown.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 139 kt at the threshold.
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 2,404 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,404 m of the 3,894 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 706 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Paphos International Airport, the Boeing 737-800 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 7 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. As the aircraft lined up on runway 29, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 20 °C, with a wind speed of 15 kt blowing from 259°. The crosswind component was 8 kt, while the headwind component was 13 kt. With these conditions in mind, the aircraft took off, covering a distance of 1,588 meters, which was 59% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 162 kt.
As the aircraft climbed away from Paphos, it began its enroute climb, which started 1 mile south of Koloni. Over the course of 20 minutes, the aircraft ascended from 1,012 feet above sea level to 37,572 feet, an increase of 36,560 feet. This climb phase covered a distance of 121 nautical miles. Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 112 minutes and covered 804 nautical miles. The cruise phase took the aircraft south of Kastelorizo Island, Greece, and then over the Italian mainland. As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its enroute descent, which started 1 mile south of Sant'Arcangelo Trimonte, Italy. The descent phase took the aircraft from 37,993 feet to 2,794 feet above sea level, a decrease of 35,198 feet, in 29 minutes and covering 156 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 16L at Rome–Fiumicino Leonardo da Vinci International Airport was made from the north, with the aircraft heading 163.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,295 feet above ground level. The landing was made on the 3,894-meter-long runway, with the threshold height being well above target and the threshold speed slightly above target. The touchdown point was 297 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 142 kt and a touchdown rate of -256 fpm. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, but the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 9.8 meters from the centreline. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took 8 minutes and covered 2 nautical miles. The total flight distance was 1,103 nautical miles, taking 185 minutes, and the aircraft used 6,584 kilograms of fuel.
The Boeing 737-800 touched down on runway 16L at LIRF Rome–Fiumicino Leonardo da Vinci International Airport, a 3,894-meter-long runway, after a final approach from the north. The aircraft was heading 163.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,295 feet above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a threshold height of 72 feet above ground level, which was well above the target. The threshold speed of 146 knots was slightly above the target, indicating a slight increase in power during the final stages of the approach.
The touchdown point was 297 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed of 142 knots was a little fast. However, the touchdown rate of -256 feet per minute was fair, indicating a relatively smooth touchdown. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft centered on the runway. The local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 13°C and winds of 12 knots at 40°, resulting in a crosswind of 10 knots and a tailwind of 7 knots.
The total landing distance of 2,329 meters was 60% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 9.8 meters from the centreline. Overall, the landing performance was satisfactory, with a score of 86.8%. The slight misalignment during the rollout phase was the only notable deviation from an otherwise smooth and controlled landing.
