Flight Score
Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.
What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 4.7 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Make small rudder corrections against a fixed point at the far end of the runway to stop the drift as soon as it starts in the flare.
What happened: On the landing you drifted 13 m off the centreline, and that kind of lateral drift usually carries through to a touchdown point 13 m off centreline and into a rollout that is still skewed off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Heading indicator: track straight down the extended runway centreline through touchdown and rollout.
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 1,538 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,538 m of the 2,757 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 505 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The aircraft taxied from the parking area to runway 02 at LPPT Humberto Delgado Airport, a movement that lasted 11 minutes and covered approximately 1 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 02, the Airbus A320 accelerated to a liftoff speed of 164 kt and became airborne after traveling 1,792 m, which represented 48 % of the runway length. Ambient conditions were 24 °C with a wind of 11 kt from 339°, including a 7 kt cross-wind component and an 8 kt head-wind component.
The climb commenced overhead Camarate, rising from 1,349 ft asl to 30,010 ft asl - a gain of 28,662 ft - in 12 minutes while covering 135 nm.
Cruise flight began 4 miles south of Torrejoncillo in Spain and continued for 110 minutes, during which the aircraft traversed 707 nm at level altitude.
Descent started 1 mile south-west of Pontedassio, Italy, with the aircraft descending from 28,931 ft asl to 1,286 ft asl, a loss of 27,646 ft, over 18 minutes and a distance of 93 nm.
The final approach to runway 28 at LIMJ Genoa Cristoforo Colombo Airport was executed from the east on a heading of 288.0°, at 4 nm and 1,260 ft agl, under conditions of 27 °C, a 3 kt wind from 10°, a 3 kt cross-wind and no head-wind component.
Landing on runway 28, which is 2,757 m long, was achieved with a threshold speed of 135 kt. Touchdown occurred 87 m beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 126 kt and a vertical rate of minus 226 fpm; the touchdown point was offset 12.6 m from the centreline.
Runway rollout covered a total landing distance of 1,455 m, equivalent to 53 % of the runway, and the aircraft’s alignment during rollout was slightly off centreline by 12.3 m.
After exiting the runway, the aircraft taxied back to the parking area in 5 minutes, traveling less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 943 nm, required 118 minutes of airborne time, and consumed 6,197 kg of fuel.
The final approach to runway 28 at LIMJ Genoa Cristoforo Colombo Airport was flown from the east on a heading of 288.0 deg at 4 nm and 1,260 ft agl. The approach was assessed as stabilised at the 1,000 ft gate, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope and centreline all within limits. Local weather was temperature 27 C, wind 3 kt at 10 deg, crosswind 3 kt and headwind 0 kt.
During the threshold and flare phase the threshold height was good and the threshold speed was good at 135 kt.
Touchdown occurred 87 m beyond the touchdown zone with a touchdown speed of 126 kt that was good, a touchdown rate of minus 226 fpm that was fair, and a runway touchdown position misaligned by 12.6 m from centreline. Total landing distance was 1,455 m, representing 53 % of the 2,757 m runway.
Rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 12.3 m from centreline.
To improve future performance, focus on tightening centreline alignment during touchdown and rollout, and aim to reduce the descent rate to achieve a more optimal vertical profile.
