Flight Score
Departure
Hold the nose down until the speed reaches 149 kt, then rotate.
What happened: You started the rotation at 114 kt, 35 kt before the 149 kt rotation speed.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 149 kt at rotation
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Wait for the normal flare band and the correct speed before raising the nose, rather than starting the flare at 66 ft.
What happened: The flare began at 66 ft, 21 ft above the normal band, and the touchdown followed at 365 fpm. Starting the flare this early usually carries through to a firmer arrival than a flare begun in the normal band.
Watch for: Radio altimeter: hold the flare start within the normal flare band
There are several things that can go wrong during the flare, carrying too much speed over the threshold, starting the flare at the wrong height and inconsistent flight control inputs, all contribute to a poor flare resulting in a hard touchdown or a float down the runway.

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 1,662 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,662 m of the 2,494 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 336 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Bolzano Airport, 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 1 nautical mile. Upon reaching runway 19, the aircraft initiated its departure roll, accelerating down the 864-meter stretch of the runway, which comprised 70% of its total length. At a liftoff speed of 138 knots, the aircraft successfully took to the skies, leaving the airport behind.
As the aircraft climbed to its enroute altitude, it began its ascent from 1,727 feet above sea level, gradually increasing to 19,009 feet in a mere 10 minutes, covering a distance of 44 nautical miles. The climb phase was followed by a 43-minute level cruise, during which the aircraft maintained a steady altitude and covered a significant distance of 297 nautical miles. The enroute descent phase commenced 3 miles southwest of Tomislavgrad, where the aircraft began its gradual descent from 19,008 feet to 3,032 feet in 17 minutes, covering a distance of 77 nautical miles.
Upon approaching Sarajevo International Airport, the aircraft initiated its final approach to runway 11, aligning itself with the runway from the northwest. The landing was executed smoothly, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 137 knots, slightly above the recommended threshold speed. The touchdown distance of 335 meters was within acceptable limits, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. Following a successful landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took approximately 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance of 426 nautical miles was achieved in 78 minutes, with the aircraft consuming 3,326 kilograms of fuel.
The aircraft, an Airbus A320, successfully executed a final approach to runway 11 at LQSA Sarajevo International Airport from the north west, aligning with the runway at a heading of 117.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,353 feet above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 138 knots, well within the acceptable range.
As the aircraft touched down on the runway, the touchdown distance of 335 meters was within the expected parameters, but the touchdown speed of 137 knots was slightly above the optimal value. The touchdown rate of -338 feet per minute was firm, indicating a controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft centered on the runway centerline. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 10°C and a light wind of 1 knot from 18°, contributed to a smooth landing.
The total landing distance of 1,582 meters, which accounted for 79% of the runway length, was within the acceptable range. The runway rollout alignment was very good, with the aircraft maintaining its centerline alignment throughout the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was considered satisfactory, with a score of 96.4%.
