Departure
Use small, coordinated rudder and aileron inputs to hold your assigned climb heading as soon as drift begins.
What happened: During the second climb segment, you let the aircraft drift off the assigned heading.
Watch for: Heading indicator: steady on the assigned climb heading
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.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
At the 1,000 ft gate: no landing flap set and off the centreline.
At the 500 ft gate: no landing flap set and wings not level.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 700 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 700 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 230 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
This flight was conducted in a Cessna C172 aircraft, departing from runway 05 at LIRQ Florence Airport, Peretola. Taxiing from the parking area to the runway took approximately 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The takeoff roll was successful, with a takeoff distance of 290 meters, which is 33% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 63 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 27°C and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 50°. This resulted in a crosswind of 0 knots and a headwind of 2 knots. The aircraft climbed to an altitude of 3,167 feet above sea level, an increase of 2,512 feet from the initial altitude of 655 feet, in just 4 minutes and covering a distance of 5 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 1 mile south of Vaglia, Italy, and lasted for 3 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 04 at LIBU Aviosuperficie Collina was conducted from the southwest, heading 31.0°, at an altitude of 1,142 feet above ground level and a distance of 3 nautical miles from the runway.
The landing was successful, with a touchdown speed of 52 knots and a touchdown distance of 229 meters. The touchdown rate was excellent at -87 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 26°C and a wind speed of 0 knots from a direction of 292°, resulting in no crosswind or headwind.
The total landing distance was 420 meters, which is 60% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also very good. The total flight distance was 14 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 14 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 5 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Cessna C172 aircraft successfully landed at LIBU Aviosuperficie Collina, achieving a score of 94.9%. The final approach was conducted from the southwest, heading 31.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,142 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft touched down on runway 04, which has a length of 700 meters. The threshold height was good, indicating that the pilot maintained a safe altitude before touchdown. However, the threshold speed was above the target speed of 69 knots, suggesting that the pilot may have been able to flare the aircraft more effectively to achieve a smoother touchdown.
The touchdown distance of 229 meters was considered good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the landing. The touchdown speed of 52 knots was also within acceptable limits, and the touchdown rate of -87 feet per minute (fpm) was excellent, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
The runway touchdown alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilot maintained a stable and aligned approach to the runway. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 26°C and a wind speed of 0 knots from 292°. This resulted in a crosswind and headwind of 0 knots, making the landing conditions ideal.
The total landing distance of 420 meters was 60% of the runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and the landing conditions. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated good control and decision-making skills throughout the approach and landing phases.
