Avoid steep turns at low altitude
Below a thousand feet the aeroplane is slow, heavy and close to the ground. A steep turn loses lift, raises the stall speed and flattens the climb just when the gradient matters most. A normal turn on course is a rate one — fifteen degrees or so, twenty-five at the outside, this penalty is to acknowledge when a turn has stopped being a turn and become a manoeuvre.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,500 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 477 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in the Tecnam P2006T MKII started with a departure roll on runway 04 at LIPX Verona Villafranca Valerio Catullo Airport. The takeoff distance was 171 meters, which equated to 7% of the total runway length. The liftoff speed was 68 knots. The local weather at the time of departure was 15°C with a wind speed of 0 knots coming from 15°, resulting in no crosswind or headwind components.
The enroute climb began overhead Dossobuono in Veneto, Italy. The aircraft climbed from 1,239 feet to 3,010 feet above sea level, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles in 2 minutes. The enroute level cruise phase started overhead Vigasio and lasted 11 minutes, covering 5 nm.
Another enroute climb was initiated 1 mile northwest of Erbe in Veneto, Italy. The aircraft climbed from 3,144 feet to 8,293 feet, covering 3 nm in 7 minutes. The subsequent enroute level cruise phase started overhead LIGW Campo di Volo Roverbella Castelbelforte and lasted 2 minutes, covering 4 nm.
The enroute descent commenced 1 mile southwest of Mozzecane in Veneto, Italy. The aircraft descended from 8,869 feet to 2,042 feet, covering 16 nm in 11 minutes. The landing took place on runway 32 at LIPO Brescia Gabriele d'Annunzio Airport, which had a length of 2,500 meters. The aircraft was 59 feet above ground level at the threshold of the runway, with a speed of 72 knots.
The touchdown occurred 475 meters from the threshold, with a touchdown speed of 56 knots and a vertical speed indicator (VSI) reading of -105 ft/m. The local weather at the destination airport was 15°C with a wind speed of 0 knots coming from 15°, resulting in no crosswind or headwind components.
The total landing distance was 625 meters, which was 25% of the runway length. The total flight distance covered was 39 nm, with a total duration of 40 minutes. The flight consumed 21 kg of fuel in total.
Congratulations on achieving a landing score of 99.0%! That is an impressive feat and showcases your exceptional skills as a pilot.
Let's dive into the detailed analysis of each phase of the landing to understand what contributed to this outstanding score.
During the Approach Phase, you displayed excellent glideslope alignment, which indicates precision in descending towards the runway. This is crucial for setting up a smooth and controlled landing. Maintaining the correct glide path ensures a safe and efficient approach to the runway.
Moving on to the Landing Phase, it is noted that the threshold height was slightly above the target. While this may have been a minor deviation, your excellent landing flare made up for it. The landing flare is crucial in reducing the vertical speed of the aircraft just before touchdown, and your execution of this maneuver was spot on.
In the Touchdown Phase, you demonstrated a smooth touchdown rate and kept the speed on target. A smooth touchdown is essential for a comfortable landing experience for passengers and helps minimize wear and tear on the aircraft. Additionally, touchdown distance inside the touchdown zone is a key indicator of precision in landing, and it is great to see that you were well within the designated area.
Your runway touchdown position was 4.0 meters from the centerline, indicating a high level of accuracy in aligning the aircraft with the runway. This is important for ensuring a safe and controlled landing.
Lastly, in the Rollout Phase, maintaining runway alignment within 3.9 meters from the centerline shows your ability to keep the aircraft on the desired path after touchdown. This is crucial for taxiing off the runway and ensuring smooth traffic flow at the airport.
Overall, your performance during each phase of the landing was exceptional, leading to an impressive landing score of 99.0%. Keep up the great work, and continue to hone your skills to maintain such high standards in every flight. Your dedication to excellence is truly commendable.
