See Arrival Rollout
Ground control varies with speed, full authority at walking pace, progressively reducing as groundspeed rises. The aircraft becomes twitchy at any speed, every small pedal input swings the nose, which can encourage large-amplitude leg inputs that no real aircraft would accept.

From brake release to the end of the climb, against time, then the takeoff point by point.
Lifted off at 86 kt with 7.3° 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 486 ft.
Reached 35 ft with 1,090 m of runway left; then climbing at 820 fpm on average to 486 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 2,203 m runway.
Rolled from 345 m in, drifted 6.4 m left of the centreline and was back on it to lift off. 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.
The final from 4 nm.
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 460 ft above 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.
Plan distance off the extended centreline, your left at the top, with the 1° band. Sideways distances are drawn 39× larger than distances along the final.
Inside the 1° band all the way from 4 nm, never more than 9 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 78 kt fast at the 1,000 ft gate, closing to 48 at 500 ft and 10 at the threshold.
Inside the speed band all the way, between +10 kt and +50 kt on the approach speed of 84 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
Little crosswind (2 kt): nothing to correct for. Touched down with the nose 2° left of the track, wings level.
Wind 234° at 3 kt · 1 kt head · 2 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 86 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 15 s, an average deceleration of 0.23 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 1,069 m of the approach.
Crossed the threshold at 35 ft, 15 ft below the 50 ft target. Touched down 420 m in, 115 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 1,069 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.
The sink went from 450 fpm at 33 ft to 120 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 3.7° 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 full 1,069 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 9.2 m left of the centreline and drifted to 14 m left on the rollout, back to 5.6 m left by the end.
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.
The 420 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The 1.12 G arrival bounced 2 times.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking area to the runway, which took approximately 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Cessna 414A, then departed from runway 01 at LIRZ San Francesco d'Assisi – Umbria International Airport. The takeoff distance was 562 meters, which is 25% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 87 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 24°C, a wind speed of 2 knots from 360°, with no crosswind and a headwind of 2 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it passed overhead Torchiagina in Umbria, Italy, and began its enroute climb. The aircraft ascended from an altitude of 1,179 feet above sea level to 23,005 feet above sea level, an increase of 21,826 feet, in 18 minutes and covering a distance of 40 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise then started overhead Castiglione d'Orcia in Toscana, Italy, and lasted for 52 minutes, covering a distance of 185 nautical miles.
The enroute descent began 29 miles southeast of Theoule-sur-Mer in Provence-Alpes-Cote d'Azur, France, and the aircraft descended from an altitude of 23,052 feet above sea level to 1,927 feet above sea level, a decrease of 21,126 feet, in 14 minutes and covering a distance of 41 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 31 at LFMC Le Luc-Le Cannet Airfield was made from the southeast, heading 310.0°, at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,632 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 31 at LFMC Le Luc-Le Cannet Airfield was successful, with a touchdown distance of 418 meters, which is well within the runway length of 1,069 meters. However, the touchdown speed of 85 knots was slightly above the target speed, and the touchdown rate was smooth at -123 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 9.2 meters from the centerline, and the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 13.8 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 28°C, a wind speed of 3 knots from 233°, with a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 1 knot. The total landing distance was 860 meters, which is 81% of the runway length. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking area took approximately 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 273 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 92 minutes, with a fuel consumption of 186 kilograms.
