Work on the flare
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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,772 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 827 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
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.
The aircraft, Cockspur PH100, successfully landed at LIPZ Venice Marco Polo Airport on runway 04L. The final approach was initiated from the southwest, heading 42.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,132 feet above ground level. The aircraft demonstrated a good threshold height, and the threshold speed was achieved at 99 knots, indicating a well-executed approach.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 392 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively long distance but still within a safe margin. The touchdown speed of 77 knots was also within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -24 feet per minute was perfect, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 12.1 meters from the centerline, which may require some adjustments in the approach path.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 11°C and a gentle wind of 3 knots from a direction of 77°. The crosswind and headwind components were minimal, at 2 knots each, which did not pose any significant challenges to the landing. The total landing distance of 1,173 meters was 42% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight.
During the rollout, the aircraft's alignment was slightly misaligned by 11.9 meters from the centerline, which may require some adjustments in the braking and taxiing procedures. Overall, the landing was successful, and the aircraft demonstrated good control and stability throughout the approach and touchdown phases.
