Flight Score
Departure
Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.
What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 13°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without it.

From brake release to the end of the climb, against time, then the takeoff point by point.
Lifted off at 105 kt with 2.7° of pitch.
Two traces from brake release: the airspeed on top, and below it the pitch, which is how far the nose is above the horizon. The figure at liftoff is the pitch then. The shaded stretch is Climb 3, the part of the climb scored on holding the climb speed.
The takeoff, point by point
Side view from the start of the roll to the end of Climb 3 at 846 ft.
Reached 35 ft with 412 m of runway left; then climbing at 1,800 fpm on average to 846 ft.
The takeoff from the side: the height above the runway against the distance along it. The numbers along the runway are the speeds reached at each point. Lifting off in the amber last quarter of the runway costs marks for the roll length. The shaded stretch is Climb 3, scored on its average speed against the target.
Plan view the roll down the 1,228 m runway.
Rolled from the start of the runway, never more than 1 m off the centreline. Airborne 40 % of the way down the runway, before the 75 % line.
The roll from above, with your left at the top. The line is where the wheels went, and "widest" is the furthest you drifted off the centreline. Lifting off before the amber 75 % line gets full marks for the roll length.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
When the approach was stable
Every check met from 4 nm to the threshold.
Each line is one of the gate checks, run along the whole final rather than only at the gates: green where it would have passed, amber where it would not. The glideslope, centreline and speed lines use the bands in the charts beside this card. The sink rate is allowed what the glideslope needs at your ground speed plus 600 fpm, the wings 10° of bank, and the gear and flap are read from when you moved the levers. The bottom line is green where every check held at once, ignoring blips shorter than 0.2 nm, and the sentence above it says from where it held to the threshold. A ring is a stabilisation gate, where the checks in the table were taken.
The final from 4 nm, with the stabilisation gates on it.
Profile height against the 3° glideslope, with its 2° band in green.
Inside the glideslope band from 4 nm to the threshold, never more than 180 ft below the slope.
Your height above the runway against the distance still to go. The glideslope is the steady descent path to the aiming point, 305 m past the threshold: 3° here, which is about 320 ft for every nautical mile out, crossing the threshold at about 50 ft. The row under the distances is the height it puts you at. Inside the green band your path is drawn green; outside it, amber. A ring is a stabilisation gate: green when every check there passed, amber with the failed checks named beside it.
Plan distance off the extended centreline, your left at the top, with the 1° band. Sideways distances are drawn 26× larger than distances along the final.
Inside the 1° band all the way from 4 nm, never more than 13 m off the centreline.
Looking down from above, flying left to right towards the runway: up the page is left of the centreline, down is right. Sideways distances are stretched so that small drifts show, so a line that looks wild here may be only a few tens of feet. The labels are how far off you were at each distance, amber when outside the band.
Speed against the approach speed. The green band runs from 5 kt slow to 49 kt fast at the 1,000 ft gate, closing to 29 at 500 ft and 10 at the threshold.
Inside the speed band all the way, between +2 kt and +26 kt on the approach speed of 97 kt.
Your indicated airspeed down the final, against the approach speed for this aircraft at its landing weight. The band allows 5 kt slow and more on the fast side further out, closing as you get lower, because the speed is expected to come off on the way down. The figures are knots above (+) or below (−) the approach speed.
Over the threshold
Touchdown
Very poor landing flare
Little crosswind (1 kt): nothing to correct for. Touched down with the nose 4° right of the track, wings level.
Wind 077° at 3 kt · 3 kt head · 1 kt across
The wind is the one recorded at the landing, split along the runway (headwind or tailwind) and across it. To hold the centreline in a crosswind the nose points a little into wind - the crab - and is straightened with rudder just before the wheels touch, often with the into-wind wing lowered to stop the drift. These are the nose against the direction you were actually moving, and the wings, at the moment of touchdown. Shown for reading; not marked.
From 75 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 14 s, an average deceleration of 0.18 g.
Your ground speed from the moment the wheels touched until you were down to taxi speed, against the distance rolled. A steep line is hard braking, a shallow one a long, gentle roll. For scale, an airliner's lowest autobrake setting decelerates at about 0.15 g, a medium one about 0.3 g. Shown for reading; not marked.
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Crossed the threshold at 34 ft, 16 ft below the 50 ft target. Touched down 827 m in, 522 m past the ideal 305 m.
The last stretch of the approach and the touchdown, from the side. The height is stretched so that the last few feet show: 80 ft top to bottom, against 1,524 m across. The dashed line is the ideal, 50 ft over the threshold and down 305 m in. The flare ring is where you began raising the nose, and "descent slowed" is where the sink came off; the figures beside them are the sink rate, pitch and speed at that point.
Sink and pitch — through the flare, lined up with the side view.
From 40 ft the descent stopped and turned into a climb of 110 fpm before coming down at 150 fpm to touch. The nose came up 3.1° on the way down.
Lined up with the side view above, so a point on one sits under the same point of the other. On top, how fast you were coming down: 0 is level, and −600 is 600 ft a minute down. Below, the pitch. In a flare the nose comes up and the descent slows towards 0. The figure at the touchdown line is your touchdown rate.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,772 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 12 m left of the centreline, and steered back to 0.1 m left by the end of the rollout.
The runway from above, with your left at the top. Touching down inside the green bracket scores full marks for the distance. The shaded part is the rollout, up to where it ended. The arrow beside the runway is the crosswind, pointing the way the air was moving, so it pushed the aircraft that way.
Touched down 827 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The 1.14 G arrival bounced.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft, a Cockspur PH100, taxiing from the parking area to the runway at LIPB Bolzano Airport. This process took 8 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. Once at the runway, the aircraft departed from runway 01, with a takeoff distance of 514 meters, which accounted for 42% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 105 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions of 11 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 1 knot at 117 degrees. The crosswind was 1 knot, while the headwind was 0 knots. After departing from Bolzano, the aircraft began its enroute climb, which started overhead the city. The climb took the aircraft from an altitude of 1,677 feet above sea level to 23,453 feet above sea level, an increase of 21,776 feet, in just 10 minutes and covering a distance of 37 nautical miles.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, which started 1 mile west of Arsie, a town in the Veneto region of Italy. This phase of the flight lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 10 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started overhead Possagno, another town in the Veneto region. The descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 24,026 feet above sea level to 1,138 feet above sea level, a decrease of 22,889 feet, in 13 minutes and covering a distance of 59 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, LIPZ Venice Marco Polo Airport, it began its final approach to runway 04L from the southwest, heading at 42.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,132 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The aircraft landed on runway 04L, which had a length of 2,772 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 99 knots.
The touchdown point was 392 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 77 knots, which was good. The touchdown rate was perfect at -24 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 12.1 meters. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 11 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 3 knots at 77 degrees, with a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 2 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,173 meters, which accounted for 42% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned from the centerline by 11.9 meters. After landing, the aircraft taxiied to the parking area, which took 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 114 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 35 minutes. The aircraft used 228 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
