Flight Score
Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.
What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 5.8 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
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.

From brake release to the end of the climb, against time, then the takeoff point by point.
Lifted off at 67 kt with 6.7° 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 958 ft. The distance scale changes past the runway end.
Reached 35 ft with 348 m of runway left; then climbing at 1,030 fpm on average to 958 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 678 m runway.
Rolled from 32 m in, drifted left of the centreline, 5.8 m at the widest, and lifted off 5.1 m left. Airborne 34 % 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 60 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 5× larger than distances along the final.
Inside the 1° band all the way from 4 nm, never more than 79 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 37 kt fast at the 1,000 ft gate, closing to 22 at 500 ft and 10 at the threshold.
Inside the speed band all the way, between −1 kt and +10 kt on the approach speed of 73 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
Perfect landing flare
Calm: nothing to correct for. Touched down straight, wings level.
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 57 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 11 s, an average deceleration of 0.15 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 39 ft, 11 ft below the 50 ft target. Touched down 366 m in, 61 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.
The sink went from 540 fpm at 39 ft to 160 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 5.4° 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 2,403 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1.7 m left of the centreline, and stayed within 1.7 m of it down 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 366 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 03 at LIKO Guglielmo Zamboni, a small airfield in Emilia-Romagna, Italy. The Tecnam P2006T MKII aircraft accelerated down the runway, reaching a liftoff speed of 68 knots in a relatively short distance of 204 meters, which is just 30% of the runway's length.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airfield, it began its enroute climb, starting approximately 1 mile northeast of LIKO Guglielmo Zamboni. The climb was steep, with the aircraft rising from an initial altitude of 1,089 feet above sea level to 10,158 feet in just 12 minutes, covering a distance of 19 nautical miles. This impressive climb rate allowed the aircraft to quickly gain altitude and establish a steady cruise altitude.
The enroute level cruise phase began approximately 2 miles east of LIVO Campo di Volo Ali Filanti Voltana, another airfield in Emilia-Romagna, Italy. During this 5-minute period, the aircraft maintained a steady altitude of 10,158 feet, covering a distance of 11 nautical miles. This brief cruise phase allowed the pilot to stabilize the aircraft and prepare for the next phase of the flight.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its enroute descent, starting approximately 1 mile northwest of Russi, a town in Emilia-Romagna, Italy. The descent was gradual, with the aircraft losing 5,961 feet in altitude over a period of 8 minutes, covering a distance of 12 nautical miles. This controlled descent allowed the pilot to maintain a safe rate of descent and avoid any turbulence or other hazards.
The enroute level cruise phase was repeated several times throughout the flight, with the aircraft maintaining a steady altitude and speed as it navigated through the region. These brief cruise phases allowed the pilot to stabilize the aircraft and prepare for the next phase of the flight.
As the aircraft approached its final destination, LIPK Forlì Airport, it began its final approach to runway 30. The approach was from the southeast, with the aircraft flying at a heading of 296.0 degrees and an altitude of 1,215 feet above ground level. The pilot maintained a steady speed and altitude, aligning the aircraft with the runway and preparing for touchdown.
The landing was smooth and controlled, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 56 knots. The touchdown distance was good, at 364 meters, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The pilot maintained a smooth rate of descent, with the aircraft touching down at a rate of -131 feet per minute.
The total landing distance was 599 meters, which is just 25% of the runway's length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, with the aircraft coming to a stop in a straight line. The total flight distance was 62 nautical miles, and the flight used 20 kilograms of fuel. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 24 degrees Celsius.
