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: 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 633 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 633 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 149 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 30 at LIHW Campo di Volo Montemelino. The Bonanza G36 aircraft accelerated down the runway, covering 193 meters, which was 30% of the runway's length, before lifting off into the air. The liftoff speed was 69 knots, and the aircraft was flying in a local weather condition of 16°C temperature with a wind speed of 2 knots at 228 degrees. The crosswind component was 2 knots, and the headwind component was 1 knot.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airfield, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead LIHW Campo di Volo Montemelino Corciano. The aircraft climbed from an altitude of 1,443 feet above sea level to 2,141 feet above sea level, an increase of 698 feet in just 1 minute, while covering a distance of 3 nautical miles. This rapid climb was a testament to the aircraft's performance capabilities.
After reaching the desired cruising altitude, the aircraft entered its enroute level cruise phase, which lasted for 4 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. This phase of the flight was conducted 2 miles south of San Feliciano, Umbria, Italy.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its enroute descent, which started 1 mile northeast of Panicale, Umbria, Italy. The aircraft descended from an altitude of 2,711 feet above sea level to 923 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,788 feet in 4 minutes, while covering a distance of 7 nautical miles. This controlled descent was a critical phase of the flight, requiring precise navigation and control.
The final approach to runway 30 at LIHW Campo di Volo Montemelino was conducted from the southeast, heading 304.0 degrees at an altitude of 184 feet above ground level. The aircraft touched down on the runway, which was 633 meters long, with a good threshold height. The threshold speed was also good at 74 knots, and the touchdown distance was 147 meters, which was well within the acceptable limits.
The landing was smooth, with a touchdown rate of -103 feet per minute, and the touchdown speed was 66 knots. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 10.8 meters. The local weather conditions remained the same, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 2 knots at 228 degrees.
After landing, the aircraft rolled out of the runway, but its alignment was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 13.4 meters. The total landing distance was 292 meters, which was 46% of the runway's length. The total flight distance was 15 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 14 minutes. The aircraft used 6 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Bonanza G36 aircraft successfully landed at LIHW Campo di Volo Montemelino, achieving a score of 92.7%. The final approach to runway 30 was conducted from the south east, heading 304.0° at an altitude of 184 feet above ground level (agl) and 0 nautical miles from the runway. The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 74 knots.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft demonstrated a good landing distance of 147 meters, and the touchdown speed was within acceptable limits at 66 knots. The touchdown rate was smooth, with a descent rate of -103 feet per minute. However, there was a slight deviation from the ideal runway touchdown position, with the aircraft touching down 10.8 meters off the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a gentle wind of 2 knots from 228°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, and the headwind component was 1 knot. The total landing distance was 292 meters, which accounted for 46% of the runway length. During the rollout, the aircraft's alignment was slightly off, deviating by 13.4 meters from the centerline.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft demonstrating good control and precision throughout the approach and touchdown phases. However, there is room for improvement in terms of maintaining a more accurate runway touchdown position and ensuring better alignment during the rollout phase.
