Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

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 2,403 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 720 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Tecnam P2006T MKII took off from runway 21 at LIKO Guglielmo Zamboni Airport. After a moderate takeoff roll of 315 meters, which represented 46% of the available runway length, the aircraft lifted off the ground at a speed of 67 knots.
The initial climb took place 1 mile south-west of the airport, reaching a height of 1,086 feet above sea level. This marked an impressive increase of 217 feet in less than 1 minute, covering a mere 1 nautical mile. Following the initial climb, the aircraft transitioned into a cruise at 1 mile south of LIKO Guglielmo Zamboni Airport, where it remained level for 5 minutes, covering a distance of 8 nautical miles.
The flight continued with a significant climb from 1,145 feet to 9,950 feet above sea level, involving an increase of 8,806 feet in 11 minutes and covering 11 nautical miles. After this, a level cruise was maintained 2 miles north of LIVO Campo di Volo Ali Filanti Voltana for 9 minutes, covering 17 nautical miles.
As the aircraft descended from the previous cruise, it dropped from 9,772 feet to 4,104 feet above sea level, a decrease of 5,668 feet in 9 minutes and covering 9 nautical miles. Following this, the aircraft entered another level cruise phase when flying 1 mile south-west of Forli for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles.
The descent from 4,104 feet to 2,648 feet above sea level took place from 1 mile west of Forlimpopoli, involving a decrease of 1,157 feet in 2 minutes and covering 4 nautical miles. The flight then transitioned into another level cruise phase 2 miles east of Forlimpopoli for 3 minutes, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles.
Subsequent to the cruise phase, the aircraft descended from 2,571 feet to 1,817 feet above sea level when flying 1 mile north-west of Cesena, involving a decrease of 754 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles.
The final approach was initiated from the east to runway 30 at LIPK Forlì Airport, with the aircraft at an altitude of 1,687 feet above ground level. The aircraft then landed on the runway, where the runway length was 2,403 meters, and good threshold height was achieved. However, the threshold speed was slightly too high at 86 knots.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft touched down at a distance of 280 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 58 knots, which was considered good, and a descent rate of 72 feet per minute, which was excellent. The runway touchdown alignment was also perfect. The local temperature at the time of landing was 28 degrees Celsius, with a headwind of 0 knots and a crosswind of 4 knots.
Throughout the flight, the aircraft covered a total distance of 62 nautical miles, taking a total time of 45 minutes and consuming 20 kilograms of fuel.
The Tecnam P2006T MKII had a successful but not entirely flawless landing at Forlì Airport (LIPK). The aircraft achieved an impressive score of 90.8%, showcasing its capabilities and the pilot's expertise. The approach was made from the east, following a heading of 289.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and altitude of 1,687 feet above ground level. The target runway, runway 30, is 2,403 meters long, providing ample space for the safe landing of the aircraft.
The pilot managed to maintain a good threshold height, ensuring a stable and controlled approach. However, a notable issue arose during the landing when the threshold speed exceeded the recommended value, reaching 86 knots. This could potentially be attributed to factors such as the aircraft's airspeed, the pilot's technique, or other external conditions. Despite this, the pilot successfully corrected the issue and brought the aircraft to a safe touchdown.
The touchdown point itself occurred 280 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a bit off from the ideal target. This deviation is still within a safe range, but it could be refined for further improvement. In terms of speeds, the aircraft touched down at a respectable 58 knots, which is well within the recommended range. Perhaps more impressively, the touchdown rate was outstanding at -72 feet per minute, showcasing the pilot's exceptional skills in controlling the descent and minimizing the impact.
Additionally, a perfect runway touchdown alignment was achieved, demonstrating the pilot's mastery of maintaining the aircraft's trajectory and position relative to the runway. The local weather conditions on the day of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 28°C and moderate winds at 4 knots from a direction of 21°. Crosswind and headwind components were negligible, which made the landing process even less challenging.
Overall, this successful but not perfect landing demonstrates the capabilities of the Tecnam P2006T MKII and the pilot's expertise. With further refinements, such as adjusting airspeed and improving touchdown point accuracy, the landing could be made even smoother and more efficient.
