Maintain the centreline
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.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,376 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 224 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the departure roll on runway 12 at Forlì Airport (LIPK) in a Tecnam P2006T MKII aircraft. The takeoff distance was 360 meters, which was 15% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 69 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of Forlì Airport, it reached an altitude of 3,968 feet above sea level, increasing from 1,098 feet by 2,870 feet in just 3 minutes. The climb covered a distance of 6 nautical miles and ended at a location near the Campo di Volo Settecrociari Panighina airfield.
The aircraft then entered a level cruise, lasting for 31 minutes and covering 19 nautical miles. This was followed by a short descent from 3,952 feet to 3,455 feet in 2 minutes, as the aircraft headed towards Federico Fellini International Airport (LIPR) in Rimini.
After leveling off at an altitude of 3,455 feet near the Misano Adriatico location, the aircraft began another short descent to 1,381 feet in just 3 minutes, as it headed towards Gradara. This descent covered a distance of 4 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 31 at LIPR was made from the southeast, with the aircraft flying at a heading of 308 degrees at an altitude of 1,340 feet. The touchdown distance was good, and the aircraft landed safely on the runway.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 20 degrees Celsius and a wind of 17 knots from a direction of 300 degrees. The crosswind was 2 knots, while the headwind was 17 knots. The threshold speed was slightly above the target at 76 knots.
The total landing distance was 345 meters, which was 15% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating a smooth and controlled landing. The total flight distance was 42 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 51 minutes. The aircraft used 26 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Tecnam P2006T MKII aircraft successfully landed on runway 31 at LIPR Federico Fellini International Airport, achieving a high level of proficiency. The pilot executed a precise final approach from the south east, maintaining a heading of 308.0° and descending at 4 nm with an altitude of 1,340 ft above ground level.
The good threshold height achieved by the pilot allowed for a smooth touchdown, with the threshold speed slightly above the target at 76 kt. The pilot managed to maintain control of the aircraft during touchdown, resulting in a good touchdown distance of 223 m and a satisfactory touchdown speed of 61 kt. However, the touchdown rate was slightly lower than expected at –228 fpm, indicating a slight tendency for the aircraft to descend more abruptly than intended.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing presented a 17 kt headwind, which was beneficial for the landing. The crosswind was minimal at 2 kt, allowing the pilot to maintain runway alignment with relative ease. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to smoothly transition from the landing phase to the rollout phase.
The total landing distance was 345 m, accounting for just 15% of the runway length. This indicates that the pilot was able to control the aircraft's descent and touchdown with precision, minimizing the distance required to come to a stop. Overall, the landing was highly successful, with the pilot demonstrating strong skills and a high level of proficiency in navigating the aircraft to a safe and controlled touchdown.
