Arrival
Apply small rudder corrections at touchdown, aiming at a point at the far end of the runway, to stay on the centreline.
What happened: Touchdown drifted 5.2 m off the centreline, and landings like this usually carry that drift into the rollout, where the alignment error grew to 185 m.
Watch for: Runway centreline: aircraft tracking directly over it 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 305 m and 152 m 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 1,753 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,753 m of the 2,428 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 493 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from LIPO Brescia Gabriele d'Annunzio Airport, the Boeing 737-800 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took approximately 9 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. Upon reaching runway 14, the aircraft initiated its departure roll, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 150 knots. The takeoff distance of 1,187 meters accounted for 47% of the runway length, with the aircraft clearing the ground in a relatively short distance.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, which started approximately 1 mile west of Montichiari, Italy. The climb phase saw the aircraft ascend from an initial altitude of 413 meters above sea level to a cruising altitude of 11,340 meters, a vertical increase of 10,927.3 meters. This climb phase took 21 minutes to complete, covering a distance of 131 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, which lasted 38 minutes and covered a distance of 297 nautical miles, with the aircraft flying overhead Gaiole in Chianti, Italy. The enroute descent phase began approximately 41 miles northwest of Malfa, Sicily, and saw the aircraft descend from 11,443 meters to 408 meters above sea level, a vertical decrease of 11,035.7 meters. This descent phase took 22 minutes to complete, covering a distance of 129 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 08 at LICC Catania-Fontanarossa Airport was initiated from the west, with the aircraft flying at an altitude of 394.4 meters above ground level. The landing was made on a runway length of 2,253 meters, with the touchdown point occurring 80 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed of 139 knots was slightly above the target speed, but the touchdown rate of -0.8 meters per second was considered good. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.3 meters from the centerline, and the runway rollout alignment was excessively misaligned by 184.3 meters from the centerline. The total landing distance of 1,675 meters accounted for 74% of the runway length. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took 6 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 567 nautical miles, with the flight duration being 95 minutes and the aircraft using 3,861 kilograms of fuel.
The Boeing 737-800 touched down on runway 08 at LICC Catania-Fontanarossa Airport, with a threshold speed of 144 kt, slightly above the target. The aircraft maintained a good approach quality, with a touchdown height that met the desired standards. However, the touchdown speed of 139 kt was a little fast, indicating a slight deviation from the optimal landing technique.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's touchdown point was 80 m beyond the designated touchdown zone, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.3 m from the centreline. The touchdown rate of -0.8 m/s was within the acceptable range. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 24 °C and a wind of 8 kt at 280 °, contributed to a relatively calm environment for the landing. The crosswind and tailwind components were minimal, at 2 kt and 8 kt, respectively.
The total landing distance of 1,675 m was 74% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance. However, the runway rollout alignment was excessively misaligned by 184.3 m from the centreline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the pilot's control inputs during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing performance scored 88.0%, reflecting a good but not exceptional execution of the landing.
