Improve the takeoff
The rudder input is a changing profile through the roll rather than one that is held. So the demand on your right foot starts large at power application, eases as speed builds and the rudder gains authority, then jumps again at rotation.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,811 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 452 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a short taxiing period from the parking area to the runway, taking approximately 1 minute and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Bonanza G36, then departed from runway 11 at LIPC Cervia Air Base. The takeoff distance was 401 meters, which accounted for 14% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 82 knots, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 16°C, with a wind speed of 1 knot at 244°.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airfield, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead LIPC Cervia Air Base. The climb took place from an altitude of 1,024 feet above sea level to 1,249 feet, an increase of 224 feet, in less than 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 12 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. This phase began 1 mile south-east of LIPC Cervia Air Base.
The enroute descent phase started 1 mile south-west of LIPC Cervia Air Base and took 3 minutes to complete, during which the aircraft descended from 1,409 feet above sea level to 185 feet, a decrease of 1,224 feet. The descent covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The final approach to runway 11 at LIPC Cervia Air Base was made from the north-west, with a heading of 117.0° at an altitude of 164 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 11 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 450 meters, which was 19% of the runway length. The threshold speed was good at 78 knots, and the touchdown speed was 59 knots, which was also good. The touchdown rate was smooth at -109 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.8 meters from the centreline. The local weather conditions during the landing were characterized by a temperature of 15°C, with a wind speed of 0 knots at 246°.
Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking approximately 1 minute and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 8 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 25 minutes. The aircraft used 9 kilograms of fuel during the flight. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating a smooth and controlled landing.
The Bonanza G36 aircraft successfully landed at LIPC Cervia Air Base, demonstrating a high level of proficiency in its pilot. The final approach to runway 11 was executed from the north-west, with the aircraft heading 117.0° at 0 nm and 164 ft above ground level (agl). This indicates a precise and controlled descent, setting the stage for a smooth landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft performed well, with a threshold speed of 78 kn being achieved, which is a good indicator of the pilot's ability to manage airspeed during the landing phase. The touchdown distance of 450 m was also within acceptable limits, demonstrating the pilot's skill in controlling the aircraft's descent and rate of descent. The touchdown speed of 59 kn was also satisfactory, indicating a gentle and controlled touchdown.
One minor deviation from the ideal landing was the slight misalignment of the runway touchdown position, which was 3.8 m off the centreline. However, this did not appear to have any significant impact on the overall landing performance. The local weather conditions were favourable, with a temperature of 15 °C and a wind speed of 0 kn at 246°, resulting in no crosswind or headwind components.
The total landing distance of 544 m was 19% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. This suggests that the pilot was able to maintain a high level of control and precision throughout the landing phase. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase and bring it to a stop in a safe and controlled manner.
Overall, the landing performance of the Bonanza G36 aircraft was excellent, with a score of 98.6%. This demonstrates a high level of proficiency in the pilot and a strong understanding of the aircraft's handling characteristics.
