Flight Score
Departure
Rotate sooner, bringing the nose up at 154 kt rather than letting speed build further.
What happened: You lifted off at 180 kt against a rotation target of 154 kt, rotating late in the ground roll.
Watch for: Watch airspeed and rotate at the target of 154 kt.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Hold the aim point and wait for the speed to bleed before raising the nose, starting the flare within the normal band instead of 51 ft.
What happened: The flare began at 51 ft, 6.4 ft earlier than the normal band.
Watch for: Radio altimeter: start the flare within the normal flare band
See Arrival Landing
A crosswind landing is a geometry problem. The air mass you're flying in is moving sideways across the runway, and you need your ground track down the centreline with your wheels aligned to it at the moment of contact. There are two techniques that will help, the crab and the sideslip.

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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,043 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 280 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 19 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. The aircraft, an Airbus A321, then departed from runway 07C at Frankfurt Airport (EDDF), with a takeoff distance of 1,852 meters, which was 46% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 180 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions of 5°C temperature and winds of 11 knots at 88 degrees. The crosswind was 3 knots, and the headwind was 10 knots. After departing from Frankfurt, the enroute climb started 1 mile north-east of the airport, with the aircraft climbing from 1,519 feet above sea level to 37,006 feet above sea level, an increase of 35,487 feet in 24 minutes, covering a distance of 159 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 1 mile north-west of Adelshofen, a town in Bavaria, Germany, and lasted for 43 minutes, covering a distance of 356 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its enroute descent overhead Basciano, a town in Abruzzo, Italy, descending from 37,026 feet above sea level to 1,727 feet above sea level, a decrease of 35,299 feet in 26 minutes, covering a distance of 130 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 24 at Naples International Airport (LIRN) was made from the north-east, heading 237.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,399 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 24 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 283 meters, which was good. However, the touchdown speed was slightly above the target at 140 knots, and the touchdown rate was fair at -255 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.8 meters from the centreline.
The local weather conditions at Naples were 14°C temperature and winds of 7 knots at 200 degrees. The crosswind was 4 knots, and the headwind was 6 knots. The total landing distance was 1,066 meters, which was 52% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 9.9 meters from the centreline. After landing, the taxiing to the parking from the runway took 7 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 656 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 114 minutes. The aircraft used 4,861 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A321 successfully landed at LIRN Naples International Airport, achieving a score of 95.7%. The aircraft approached the runway from the northeast, heading 237.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,399 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was made to runway 24, which has a length of 2,043 meters.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold height was good, but the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 140 knots. The touchdown distance was within acceptable limits at 283 meters, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 138 knots. The touchdown rate was fair at -255 feet per minute (fpm). The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 3.8 meters.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 14°C, with a wind speed of 7 knots from 200°. The crosswind component was 4 knots, while the headwind component was 6 knots. These conditions did not appear to significantly impact the landing.
The total landing distance was 1,066 meters, which is 52% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned from the centreline by 9.9 meters. Despite these minor deviations, the overall performance of the aircraft during the landing was satisfactory, resulting in a score of 95.7%.
