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 1,025 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,025 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 414 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in the Cessna Longitude began with a 3-minute taxi from the parking area to the runway at LSZA Lugano Airport. The departure roll from runway 01 involved a takeoff distance of 518 meters, covering 51% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 116 knots. The local weather at the time of departure was 17°C with a wind speed of 1 knot coming from 270°, resulting in minimal crosswind and headwind components.
Once airborne, the enroute climb began over Bioggio in Switzerland, with the aircraft climbing from 1,968 feet above sea level to 21,010 feet, covering a total distance of 13 nautical miles in 5 minutes. The subsequent level cruise phase started 1 mile south of Barasso in Italy and lasted 6 minutes, covering a distance of 16 nautical miles.
The enroute descent phase commenced over Mergozzo in Italy, with the aircraft descending from 20,991 feet to 5,988 feet in 8 minutes, covering 14 nautical miles. Another level cruise segment began over Travedona Monate in Italy and lasted 6 minutes, covering 12 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 01 at LSZA Lugano Airport was initiated from the south at a heading of 18.0°, 4 nautical miles and 2,734 feet above ground level. The landing itself occurred on the 1,025-meter-long runway, with the aircraft touching down 413 meters from the threshold. The touchdown speed was 102 knots, and the vertical speed at touchdown was -144 feet per minute. The total landing distance was 700 meters, equivalent to 68% of the runway length.
Subsequently, the aircraft taxied back to the parking area from the runway in 8 minutes, covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance for the journey was 60 nautical miles, which took 35 minutes to complete. Additionally, the flight consumed 516 kilograms of fuel during the operation.
