Flight Score
Departure
Hold the nose down until the speed reaches 144 kt, then rotate.
What happened: You started the rotation at 121 kt, 23 kt before the 144 kt rotation speed.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 144 kt at rotation
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Fly a steeper descent on final so you cross the threshold at 50 ft agl instead of 64 ft agl.
What happened: The aircraft crossed the threshold at 64 ft agl against a 50 ft agl target, well above the normal profile. The touchdown point was also long at 792 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.
Twenty knots on a monitor produces the visual sensation of about ten. The advice to "taxi at a walking pace" cannot fix this, because your sense of walking pace is exactly the thing that's broken. Put the groundspeed readout in your scan and obey it for the next fifty flights, the way a student pilot leans on the airspeed indicator before learning to read attitude.

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 1,845 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,845 m of the 3,890 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 792 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Airbus A320-ceo departed LIRQ Florence Airport, runway 05. Take-off used 871 m, 60 % of the runway, and rotation occurred at 121 kt. Local weather was 28 °C, wind 1 kt from 238°, with a 0 kt crosswind and a 1 kt tailwind.
Initial climb to 1,000 ft agl lasted 17 seconds, averaging 2,161 fpm and reaching 163 kt at the top. The climb continued from 975 ft asl to 18,349 ft asl in 8 minutes, covering 30 nm, beginning 1 mile south-east of Sesto Fiorentino. Level cruise was at 19,000 ft asl for 10 minutes, covering 62 nm, starting 1 mile south-east of Impruneta. Descent from 19,017 ft asl to 1,314 ft asl took 21 minutes over 93 nm, beginning 2 miles south of Ficulle, with a brief level-off at 2,700 ft asl.
Final approach to runway 16L at LIRF Rome-Fiumicino began at 1,340 ft agl and descended to 86 ft agl in 108 seconds. Stabilisation checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway were met for gear down, landing flap, sink rate, glideslope, centreline, speed and wings level. Configuration was landing gear down at 1,855 ft agl, 163 kt, with final flap position 5 at the same altitude and speed.
Landing on runway 16L (length 3,890 m) had a threshold height of 64 ft agl, which was above target, while the threshold speed of 138 kt was good. The flare was described as excellent; the aircraft floated before touchdown. Touchdown occurred 370 m beyond the touchdown zone at 130 kt, a little fast, with a fair rate of -223 fpm and perfect runway-touchdown alignment. No bounce was observed. Total landing distance was 1,761 m, 45 % of the runway, and rollout alignment was perfect. Local weather at landing was 23 °C, wind 10 kt from 160°, with a 0 kt crosswind and a 10 kt headwind.
Taxi from the runway to parking took 9 minutes and covered 2 nm. The flight covered 194 nm in 54 minutes and used 1,921 kg of fuel.
