See Arrival Final 1
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.

From brake release to the end of the climb, against time, then the takeoff point by point.
Lifted off at 68 kt with 7.6° 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 853 ft. The distance scale changes past the runway end.
Reached 35 ft with 254 m of runway left; then climbing at 1,140 fpm on average to 853 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 79 m in, drifted 1.8 m right of the centreline and was back on it to lift off. Airborne 48 % 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 arrow beside the runway is the crosswind, pointing the way the air was moving, so it pushed the aircraft that way.
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 100 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 6× larger than distances along the final.
Inside the 1° band all the way from 4 nm, never more than 61 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 +8 kt and +16 kt on the approach speed of 70 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
5 kt across from the right, which takes about 5° of crab to hold the centreline at 53 kt. Touched down with the nose 9° into wind, wings level.
Wind 140° at 6 kt · 0 kt tail · 5 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 54 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 6 s, an average deceleration of 0.22 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 67 ft, 17 ft above the 50 ft target. Touched down 546 m in, 241 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 760 fpm at 65 ft to 100 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 9.0° 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 2,599 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 2.7 m left of the centreline, and stayed about there down the rollout, 3.1 m left at the widest.
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.
Touched down 546 m past the threshold — beyond 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 Airport. The Tecnam P2006T MKII aircraft accelerated down the runway, reaching a liftoff speed of 68 kt and covering a distance of 251 m, which was 37% of the runway length. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 17 °C, a wind speed of 7 kt at 53°, resulting in a crosswind of 3 kt and a headwind of 6 kt.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, reaching an altitude of 1,137 ft asl. The climb started overhead LIKO Guglielmo Zamboni Airport and covered a distance of less than 1 nm in 1 minute, with an increase in altitude of 157 ft. The aircraft then entered a level cruise, flying 1 mile south west of LIWL Aviosuperficie Villa Fontana Villa Fontana, and remained at this altitude for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nm.
The aircraft continued its journey, entering another enroute climb, this time from 1,288 ft asl to 9,880 ft asl, an increase of 8,593 ft in 12 minutes, covering a distance of 23 nm. The climb started overhead Medicina-Buda and took the aircraft to a significant altitude gain. The aircraft then entered another level cruise, flying 1 mile north of Ferrara, and remained at this altitude for 20 minutes, covering a distance of 31 nm.
As the aircraft began its descent, it started from 9,573 ft asl and descended to 2,876 ft asl, a decrease of 6,697 ft in 10 minutes, covering a distance of 15 nm. The descent started 1 mile north west of Nogara and took the aircraft to a lower altitude. The aircraft then entered another level cruise, flying 2 miles north east of Goito, and remained at this altitude for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nm.
The aircraft continued its descent, starting from 2,630 ft asl and descending to 1,529 ft asl, a decrease of 1,101 ft in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nm. The descent started 2 miles south west of Quaderni and took the aircraft to a lower altitude.
The final approach to runway 04 at LIPX Verona Villafranca Valerio Catullo Airport was made from the south west, heading 46.0° at 4 nm and 1,287 ft agl. The aircraft landed on the runway, with a touchdown point 104 m beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 53 kt, which was good, and the touchdown rate was smooth at -104 fpm. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.1 m from the centreline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 17 °C and a wind speed of 6 kt at 140°, resulting in a crosswind of 6 kt and a headwind of 0 kt. The total landing distance was 645 m, which was 25% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect.
The total flight distance was 83 nm, taking 51 minutes, and the aircraft used 23 kg of fuel during the flight.
