MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Use coordinated aileron input to level the wings and hold bank angle close to wings-level during the climb.
What happened: During the initial climb, your average bank angle drifted to 2.3°.
Watch for: Attitude indicator, bank angle near wings-level
Arrival
Begin the flare with progressive back pressure and keep it coming until the sink is arrested, rather than flying it on flat.
What happened: The nose was barely raised in the flare and little of the sink was taken out, flying the aircraft onto the runway. This pattern usually carries through to a firm touchdown with a noticeable sink rate.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a smoothly reducing sink through the normal flare band, not a steady rate into the runway.
Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without it.

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.
At the 305 m gate: off the centreline.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,756 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 534 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Rome–Fiumicino Leonardo da Vinci International Airport (LIRF) took 16 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The ATR 72 then began its departure roll on runway 25, utilizing 1,084 meters, or 38% of the runway, to achieve liftoff at a speed of 118 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 14°C, with a gentle tailwind of 5 knots from a direction of 69°.
As the aircraft climbed away from LIRF, it transitioned into an enroute climb phase, which began overhead the airport and continued for 25 minutes, during which time the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 312 meters above sea level to 5,386 meters. This climb phase covered a distance of 90 nautical miles. Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 20 minutes and covered 82 nautical miles. The cruise phase was initiated 14 miles southeast of Capoliveri, Italy. The aircraft then began its enroute descent phase, which started 21 miles south of Riomaggiore, Italy, and lasted for 14 minutes, during which time the aircraft descended from an altitude of 5,491 meters to 420 meters. This descent phase covered a distance of 55 nautical miles.
The ATR 72 then commenced its final approach to runway 28 at Genoa Cristoforo Colombo Airport (LIMJ), approaching from the east at a heading of 287.0°. The aircraft touched down 125 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 113 knots, which was slightly faster than desired. The touchdown rate was firm at -1.6 meters per second, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 7.0 meters from the centerline. Following touchdown, the aircraft utilized 1,022 meters, or 37% of the runway, to come to a stop. Taxiing to the parking area from the runway took 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 236 nautical miles, and the flight utilized 522 kilograms of fuel.
The final approach to runway 28 at LIMJ Genoa Cristoforo Colombo Airport was initiated from the east, heading 287.0° at 4 nm and 414.6 meters above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a threshold height of 18.9 meters above ground level, which was above the target. The threshold speed was good at 115 knots, indicating a well-executed approach.
The aircraft touched down 125 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 113 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was firm at -1.6 meters per second, indicating a controlled descent. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 7.0 meters from the centreline. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 14°C and a wind of 5 knots at 0°, resulting in a negligible crosswind and headwind.
The total landing distance was 1,022 meters, which accounted for 37% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 8.7 meters from the centreline. Overall, the landing performance scored 88.9%, indicating a good but not exceptional landing.
