Maintain the centreline
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.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate for a circuit: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate is an instrument-approach check and does not apply.
Side view — the last 992 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 992 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 171 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Bonanza G36 aircraft departed from runway 05 at LIPV Venice-Lido Giovanni Nicelli Airfield, covering a takeoff distance of 347 meters, which is 35% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 81 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 16°C and a wind speed of 1 knot at 8 degrees.
After takeoff, the aircraft entered a right-hand pattern, which it completed in a relatively short distance of less than 1 nautical mile in 25 seconds. The pattern crosswind was minimal, with a distance of less than 1 nautical mile covered in just 10 seconds. The aircraft then proceeded to the downwind turn, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile at an angle of 40.7 degrees to the runway.
The downwind leg of the pattern was 2 nautical miles long and took 65 seconds to complete. The base leg turn was also 2 nautical miles long, with an angle of 12.8 degrees to the runway. The base leg itself was 2 nautical miles long and took 69 seconds to complete. The final turn was the longest part of the pattern, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles in 532 seconds.
The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 05, flying at a heading of 55.0 degrees and an altitude of 163 feet above ground level. The landing was smooth, with a threshold speed that was slightly below the target speed of 68 knots. The touchdown distance was good, covering 168 meters, and the touchdown speed was also good at 59 knots. The touchdown rate was good at -198 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 6.1 meters, but the runway rollout alignment was very good. The total landing distance was 271 meters, which is 27% of the runway length. The taxiing to the parking area from the runway took less than 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 9 nautical miles, and the flight took 18 minutes to complete. The aircraft used 8 kilograms of fuel during the flight. Overall, the flight was smooth and uneventful, with good weather conditions and a successful landing.
The Bonanza G36 aircraft successfully landed at LIPV Venice-Lido Giovanni Nicelli Airfield, achieving a high score of 97.7%. The final approach was conducted from the south-west, heading 55.0° at an altitude of 163 feet above ground level (agl) and 0 nautical miles from the runway. The aircraft touched down on runway 05, which has a length of 992 meters.
The threshold height was satisfactory, and the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 68 knots. The touchdown distance was good, measuring 168 meters, and the touchdown speed was also within acceptable limits at 59 knots. The touchdown rate was good, with a descent rate of -198 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 6.1 meters.
The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 0 knots at 1°. There was no crosswind or headwind, which contributed to a smooth landing. The total landing distance was 271 meters, accounting for 27% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft maintained its direction and speed after touchdown.
Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft demonstrating good control and precision. The slight misalignment of the touchdown position was the only notable deviation from an ideal landing.
