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.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate for a circuit: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate is an instrument-approach check and does not apply.
Side view — the last 992 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 992 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 215 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 05 at LIPV Venice-Lido Giovanni Nicelli Airfield. The Bonanza G36 aircraft required a takeoff distance of 488 meters, which is 49% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was achieved at 84 knots.
As the aircraft entered the local weather conditions, it was noted that the temperature was 16 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 3 knots at 140 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 0 knots. The pilot then entered a left-hand pattern from runway 05, completing the entry in less than 1 nautical mile in 18 seconds.
The aircraft then proceeded to complete the left-hand pattern, with a crosswind leg that took less than 1 nautical mile in 16 seconds. The pattern downwind turn covered a distance of 6 nautical miles, with an angle to the runway of 56.5 degrees. The downwind leg itself covered 3 nautical miles in 99 seconds.
The base leg turn was completed in 1 nautical mile, with an angle to the runway of 43.2 degrees. The base leg itself covered less than 1 nautical mile in 24 seconds. The final turn was completed in less than 1 nautical mile in 17 seconds.
The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 05 from the southwest, heading at 54.0 degrees and at an altitude of 209 feet above ground level. The landing was completed on the runway, with a threshold speed that was slightly below the target at 72 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 212 meters, and the touchdown speed was also good at 62 knots. However, the touchdown rate was fair at -207 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 13.3 meters from the centreline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 2 knots at 139 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 0 knots.
The total landing distance was 339 meters, which is 34% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 12.6 meters from the centreline. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area from the runway, covering less than 1 nautical mile in less than 1 minute.
The total flight distance was 7 nautical miles, taking 19 minutes to complete. The aircraft used 8 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Bonanza G36 aircraft successfully landed at LIPV Venice-Lido Giovanni Nicelli Airfield, achieving a score of 93.3%. The final approach to runway 05 was conducted from the south-west, with a heading of 54.0° at an altitude of 209 feet above ground level (agl) and 0 nautical miles from the runway.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway at a speed of 72 knots, which was slightly below the target threshold speed. However, the touchdown distance of 212 meters was considered good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown speed of 62 knots was also within acceptable limits, further emphasizing the pilot's skill in managing the aircraft's descent.
Despite the good touchdown speed and distance, the touchdown rate of -207 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair. This suggests that the pilot may have been able to achieve a more controlled descent, potentially reducing the impact on the aircraft's landing gear.
One notable aspect of the landing was the misalignment of the runway touchdown position, which was off-centerline by 13.3 meters. This may have been due to factors such as wind or pilot error, but it did not appear to significantly impact the overall landing performance.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 139°. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 0 knots, which did not appear to significantly affect the landing.
The total landing distance of 339 meters was 34% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 12.6 meters from the centerline, suggesting that the pilot may have had some difficulty in maintaining a straight course during the rollout phase.
Overall, the Bonanza G36 aircraft demonstrated a high level of proficiency in landing at LIPV Venice-Lido Giovanni Nicelli Airfield, with a score of 93.3% reflecting the pilot's skill and control during the approach and landing phases.
