Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.
What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 9.1 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Track the centreline through touchdown using small rudder corrections against a point at the far end of the runway.
What happened: The aircraft touched down off the centreline at 20 m, and drifting off centreline at touchdown usually carries through into the rollout, as it did here with alignment reaching 42 m.
Watch for: Watch runway centreline position, keeping deviation inside the limit through touchdown and rollout.
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.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: seven checks where the approach path is 300 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out. These checks are the approach's score.
At the 300 ft gate: sink rate 1,146 fpm, more than the glideslope needed, glideslope 6.2° against the runway's 3° and wings 13° of bank, against a 10° limit.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,797 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 439 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Pisa International Airport (LIRP) took less than a minute, covering a short distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then began its departure roll on runway 22L, utilizing 316 meters, or 11% of the runway's length, to achieve liftoff at a speed of 59 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff featured a temperature of 28°C, with a wind speed of 12 knots from a direction of 300°, resulting in a 12-knot crosswind and a 1-knot headwind.
As the aircraft climbed away from Pisa, it began its enroute climb 2 miles southwest of the airport, rising from an altitude of 1,129 feet above sea level to 1,827 feet, an increase of 697 feet, in just 2 minutes while covering 3 nautical miles. The climb was followed by a brief level cruise 1 mile east of Marina di Pisa-Tirrenia-Calambrone, lasting 3 minutes and covering 6 nautical miles. The aircraft then commenced its enroute descent 1 mile west of Campo di Volo Il Gruccione Guasticce, descending from 1,760 feet to 1,275 feet, a decrease of 484 feet, in 2 minutes while covering 3 nautical miles. A second level cruise phase followed, lasting 5 minutes and covering 9 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 22L at LIRP was initiated from the northeast, with the aircraft heading 215.0° at 1 nautical mile and 693 feet above ground level. The landing was completed on the runway, with a touchdown distance of 438 meters, or 16% of the runway's length. The touchdown speed of 51 knots and touchdown rate of -186 feet per minute were both within acceptable limits. However, the runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned from the centerline by 17.4 meters, and the runway rollout alignment was also misaligned by 44.0 meters. The total landing distance was 632 meters, or 23% of the runway's length. The total flight distance was 25 nautical miles, taking 14 minutes to complete, and the aircraft used 6 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The final approach to runway 22L at LIRP Pisa International Airport was initiated from the north east, heading 215.0° at 1 nm and 693 ft above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a threshold height of 74 ft agl, which was well above the target. However, the threshold speed of 72 kt was higher than desired, indicating a slight over-rotation during the flare.
The touchdown characteristics were good, with a touchdown speed of 51 kt and a touchdown rate of -186 fpm, both within acceptable limits. The touchdown distance of 438 m was also satisfactory. However, the runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned by 17.4 m from the centreline, which may have contributed to the subsequent rollout issues. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 27 °C and a wind of 12 kt at 300°, resulted in a 12 kt crosswind and a 1 kt headwind.
The total landing distance of 632 m was 23% of the runway length, which is within acceptable limits. However, the runway rollout alignment was significantly misaligned by 44.0 m from the centreline, indicating a loss of directional control during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing performance scored 71.6%, with areas for improvement identified in terms of threshold speed and runway alignment.
