Improve the takeoff
The rudder input is a changing profile through the roll rather than one that is held. So the demand on your right foot starts large at power application, eases as speed builds and the rudder gains authority, then jumps again at rotation.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,597 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 546 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with taxiing from the parking area to the runway, which took approximately 4 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a P180 Avanti, then departed from runway 28 at Genoa Cristoforo Colombo Airport (LIMJ), with a takeoff distance of 444 meters, which accounted for 16% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 119 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 17°C, with a wind speed of 5 knots from a direction of 270°. This resulted in a headwind of 5 knots and a crosswind of 1 knot. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, which started overhead the airport and continued for 8 minutes, covering a distance of 15 nautical miles. During this time, the aircraft climbed from an altitude of 1,061 feet above sea level to 20,493 feet, an increase of 19,432 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 4 minutes and covered a distance of 23 nautical miles. This phase began 12 miles southwest of Portofino, Italy. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 1 mile northwest of Castiglione, Italy. The descent phase lasted for 15 minutes and covered a distance of 54 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from an altitude of 21,012 feet to 1,279 feet.
The final approach to runway 04R at Pisa International Airport (LIRP) was made from the southwest, with a heading of 35.0° at an altitude of 1,265 feet above ground level. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15°C, with a wind speed of 5 knots from a direction of 270°. This resulted in a crosswind of 4 knots and a tailwind of 3 knots.
The landing was successful, with a touchdown point located 121 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 97 knots, which was considered good, and the touchdown rate was -173 feet per minute, also considered good. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.0 meters from the centerline. The total landing distance was 910 meters, which accounted for 35% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, which took approximately 4 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 99 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 43 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 224 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The aircraft, FFX P180 03 01, successfully landed at LIRP Pisa International Airport on runway 04R. The final approach was initiated from the southwest, heading 35.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,265 feet above ground level. The aircraft demonstrated a high level of proficiency in its approach, achieving a score of 97.2%.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down at a speed of 97 knots, which was within the acceptable threshold speed of 112 knots. The touchdown point was located 121 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, but this was not considered a significant deviation. The aircraft's descent rate was also within the acceptable range, at -173 feet per minute.
The landing was conducted in a moderate wind environment, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 5 knots from a direction of 270°. This resulted in a crosswind of 4 knots and a tailwind of 3 knots. Despite these conditions, the aircraft's pilot maintained good control and alignment during the landing, with the runway touchdown position being only 4.0 meters off-centerline.
The total landing distance was 910 meters, which accounted for 35% of the runway length. This was a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was well-controlled and the pilot had made effective use of the available runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control and stability during the landing.
Overall, the landing was a success, with the aircraft demonstrating a high level of proficiency and control. The pilot's ability to navigate the aircraft through the challenging wind conditions and maintain good alignment and control during the landing was particularly impressive.
