Flight Score
Departure
Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.
What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 6.9°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
A small uncorrected heading error at 40 knots becomes a metre of offset per second by 100 knots, noticed only at rotation, producing a crabbed liftoff. Root cause is nearly always eyes on the tape instead of the far end of the runway. Small heading changes displace a distant point visibly long before the nearby centreline stripes look wrong.

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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: speed below the reference speed.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,977 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 318 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 9 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, an Airbus A319, then departed from runway 22R at EKCH Copenhagen Kastrup Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,453 meters, which is 48% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 152 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 24°C, with a wind speed of 22 knots at a direction of 279°. This resulted in a crosswind of 19 knots and a headwind of 12 knots. The aircraft began its enroute climb 2 miles west of Dragor, Denmark, and ascended from an initial altitude of 1,021 feet above sea level to a maximum altitude of 38,239 feet above sea level, an increase of 37,219 feet in 20 minutes. The distance covered during this climb was 125 nautical miles.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 1 mile south of Gadebusch, Germany, and lasted for 56 minutes. During this period, the aircraft covered a distance of 397 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent from a maximum altitude of 38,468 feet above sea level to 12,463 feet above sea level, a decrease of 26,004 feet in 12 minutes, covering a distance of 90 nautical miles.
The aircraft continued to alternate between level cruise and descent phases, with several brief periods of level flight. The final descent phase began 1 mile north-east of Cassolnovo, Italy, and ended with the aircraft touching down on runway 17L at LIMC Milan Malpensa International Airport. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 33°C, with a wind speed of 8 knots at a direction of 190°. This resulted in a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 7 knots.
The landing was successful, with a touchdown distance of 317 meters and a touchdown speed of 124 knots, which was slightly faster than the recommended threshold speed. The touchdown rate was fair at -245 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The total landing distance was 1,085 meters, which is 36% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, which took 8 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 691 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 127 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 4,739 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A319 successfully landed at LIMC Milan Malpensa International Airport on runway 17L, achieving a high score of 99.2%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north, heading 169.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,363 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot's final approach was well-executed, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 125 knots, which is within the acceptable range.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's performance was satisfactory, with a touchdown distance of 317 meters, which is within the expected range. However, the touchdown speed of 124 knots was slightly faster than the ideal speed, indicating that the pilot may have needed to apply more braking force upon touchdown. The touchdown rate of -245 feet per minute (fpm) was fair, suggesting that the aircraft's descent was not perfectly controlled.
Despite the slightly fast touchdown speed, the aircraft's runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot maintained a stable and controlled approach. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 33°C and a wind speed of 8 knots at 190°, presented a moderate headwind component of 7 knots and a negligible crosswind component of 3 knots. These conditions did not significantly impact the landing performance.
The total landing distance of 1,085 meters, which accounts for 36% of the runway length, was within the acceptable range. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase and avoided any deviations from the centerline.
Overall, the landing was successful, with the pilot demonstrating good control and management of the aircraft throughout the approach and touchdown phases. However, there is room for improvement in terms of touchdown speed and touchdown rate to achieve a more optimal landing performance.
