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.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,403 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 393 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Tecnam P2006T MKII aircraft began its journey at LIPK Forlì Airport with a departure roll on runway 30. The takeoff distance was a moderate 117 meters, accounting for only 5% of the runway's length. The aircraft achieved liftoff at a speed of 69 knots.
As the aircraft lifted off, it found itself in a favorable local weather condition with a temperature of 24 degrees Celsius. The wind was blowing at 5 knots from 126 degrees, resulting in a slight tailwind of 5 knots and a minimal crosswind of just 1 knot. This favorable weather allowed the plane to start its enroute climb from Forli, reaching an altitude increase of 466 feet in less than a minute and covering less than a nautical mile.
Following its initial climb, the aircraft leveled off and entered a 2-minute cruise, maintaining its altitude and covering 3 nautical miles. The plane then undertook another climb, this time from 1 mile north of Rovere, and reached an altitude of 2,430 feet. During this climb, it increased its altitude by 629 feet in 2 minutes while covering 3 nautical miles.
The aircraft entered another level cruise, this time lasting 2 minutes and covering 2 nautical miles, as it flew 1 mile southeast of Faenza. However, its upward trend was short-lived, as it began its descent from Faenza, plummeting by 906 feet in 2 minutes and covering 5 nautical miles. The descent brought the aircraft down to a mere 1 mile south of Faenza.
The aircraft then started its final approach to runway 12 at LIPK Forlì Airport, approaching from the west at a heading of 117 degrees, 1.5 miles from the runway and at 1,474 feet above ground level. The aircraft landed on the runway, with a well-above-target threshold speed of 80 knots.
The aircraft touched down at a moderate speed of 62 knots, with an exceptional touchdown rate of -67 feet per minute. The aircraft's touchdown and rollout alignment was perfect, and its touchdown distance of 393 meters was considered good. The aircraft consumed a total of 622 meters, accounting for 26% of the runway length.
In its final moments, the aircraft's performance was further showcased as it utilized only 5 kilograms of fuel, covering a total distance of 18 nautical miles in its entirety and maintaining a total flight time of 11 minutes.
On the recent landing attempt by the Tecnam P2006T MKII aircraft, the pilot demonstrated exceptional skill and control. The aircraft was approaching runway 12 at LIPK Forlì Airport from the west, heading 117.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,474 feet above ground level. As the aircraft descended onto the runway, it landed well within the acceptable parameters, showcasing a proficient touch as it navigated this critical phase of flight.
The threshold height was found to be satisfactory, but what was particularly noteworthy was the excessive threshold speed, which was measured at 80 knots, exceeding the target speed. However, this did not have a significant impact on the touchdown performance, as the aircraft displayed excellent control as it transitioned from the descent phase to the landing. The touchdown speed, recorded at 62 knots, was also commensurate with standard operating procedures, indicating that the pilot had meticulously managed the aircraft's speed to ensure a safe landing.
The pilot's skill was further underscored by the relatively short touchdown distance of 393 meters. This indicates that the aircraft landed smoothly and progressively descended to the ground without experiencing any sudden drops or deviations from the desired flight path. Moreover, the vertical descent rate at the moment of touchdown was calculated at an impressive -67 feet per minute, underscoring the pilot's ability to maintain a stable and controlled approach to the runway.
The local weather conditions on the day of the landing, with a temperature of 24°C and a modest wind blowing at 4 knots from a direction of 126 degrees, likely contributed to a favorable environment for the aircraft to land safely. The relatively low crosswind speed of just 1 knot was another factor that probably minimized the risk of any issues during the landing, while the headwind of 4 knots added a touch of stability to the aircraft's flight path.
The total landing distance, measured at 622 meters, accounted for just 26% of the total runway length available. This suggests that the pilot had carefully managed the aircraft's speed and descent rate to arrive at the runway threshold with plenty of room to spare. Perhaps most notably, the runway rollout alignment was found to be perfect, indicating that the pilot had executed a flawless recovery of lift and had smoothly slowed the aircraft down as it taxied along the runway after landing. Overall, the landing was a resounding success, with the pilot displaying masterful control and exceptional situational awareness throughout the entire procedure.
