Raffaele, you can predict bright flares from METOP-A also by using the online version of my flare tracking program, at the following link: http://digilander.libero.it/SATrack/VisualSATFlareTrackerOnline.html? q=METOP&Lat=43.4698&Lon=11.8491&Chart=1 By the way, for your predicted flare, calsky seems to know a different reflective surface, which has tilt of 56 degrees and angle of 90 degrees (left side).
