Improve the 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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,708 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,708 m of the 3,509 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 476 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 11 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a P180 AirGo with the registration D-IPPY, then departed from runway 01 at LIRZ San Francesco d'Assisi – Umbria International Airport. The takeoff distance was 934 meters, which accounted for 42% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 132 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 6°C and winds of 5 knots at 239°. The crosswind and tailwind components were both 4 knots. The enroute climb started overhead Torchiagina, Umbria, Italy, and the aircraft ascended from 524 meters above sea level to 10,602 meters above sea level, an increase of 10,077.9 meters in 24 minutes, covering a distance of 78 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 1 mile southwest of Vaiano, Toscana, Italy, and lasted for 7 minutes, covering 31 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent from 10,728 meters above sea level to 7,294 meters above sea level, a decrease of 3,433.5 meters in 7 minutes, covering 35 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise started 1 mile south of Albareto, Emilia-Romagna, Italy, and lasted for 49 minutes, covering less than 1 nautical mile.
The aircraft then began its descent from 7,294 meters above sea level to 1,187 meters above sea level, a decrease of 6,107.3 meters in 14 minutes, covering 56 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise started 1 mile east of Ottobiano, Lombardia, Italy, and lasted for 3 minutes, covering 12 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent from 1,180 meters above sea level to 607 meters above sea level, a decrease of 573.2 meters in 4 minutes, covering 11 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 35L at LIMC Milan Malpensa International Airport was made from the south, heading 349.0° at 4 nautical miles and 383.9 meters above ground level. The aircraft landed on the runway, which had a length of 3,509 meters. The threshold speed was 119 knots, and the touchdown point was 48 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 106 knots, and the touchdown rate was good at -1.0 meters per second.
The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 8.1 meters from the centerline, and the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 8.2 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 9°C and winds of 4 knots at 260°, with a crosswind component of 4 knots and a headwind component of 0 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,616 meters, which accounted for 46% of the runway. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 233 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 68 minutes. The aircraft used 366 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The aircraft, FFX P180 AirGo D-IPPY, successfully landed at LIMC Milan Malpensa International Airport on runway 35L. The final approach was initiated from the south, heading 349.0° at an altitude of 383.9 meters above ground level (agl) and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, adhering to the standard operating procedures.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was recorded at 106 knots, which was slightly below the threshold speed of 119 knots. The touchdown point was located 48 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, indicating a slight deviation from the ideal landing spot. However, the touchdown rate was satisfactory at -1.0 meters per second, demonstrating a controlled descent.
The landing distance covered by the aircraft was 1,616 meters, accounting for 46% of the runway's total length. This indicates a relatively short landing distance, which is a testament to the pilot's skill and the aircraft's performance. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 8.2 meters from the centerline, but this deviation was minor and did not pose any significant issues.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 9°C and a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 260°. The crosswind component was 4 knots, while the headwind component was negligible at 0 knots. These conditions did not appear to have any significant impact on the landing, and the pilot was able to navigate the aircraft safely to the runway. Overall, the landing was deemed successful, with a score of 97.0%.
