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 1,228 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,228 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 50 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 29 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Beechcraft Duke, then departed from runway 08L at LSZL Locarno Airport in Switzerland. The takeoff distance was 451 meters, which accounted for 56% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 94 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 2 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 0 knots from a direction of 225 degrees. There was no crosswind or headwind. The aircraft began its enroute climb overhead LSZL Locarno Airport, rising from an altitude of 1,062 feet above sea level to 19,175 feet above sea level in just 9 minutes, covering a distance of 22 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started overhead Olgiate Comasco in Italy and lasted for 27 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 98 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent from 17,230 feet above sea level to 6,945 feet above sea level in 6 minutes, covering a distance of 8 nautical miles. This descent started 1 mile southwest of Grumes in Italy.
The aircraft then leveled off overhead Montagna in Italy and remained at that altitude for 9 minutes, covering a distance of 8 nautical miles. The next descent started overhead Salorno in Italy, during which the aircraft descended from 6,943 feet above sea level to 2,556 feet above sea level in 6 minutes, covering a distance of 11 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 01 at LIPB Bolzano Airport was made from the south, with the aircraft heading 19.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,763 feet above ground level and a distance of 3 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was made on runway 01, which had a length of 1,228 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was a little below the target speed of 84 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 49 meters, and the touchdown speed was 82 knots, which was also good. However, the touchdown rate was heavy at -601 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 7.7 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 3 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 0 knots from a direction of 45 degrees.
The total landing distance was 233 meters, which accounted for 19% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took just 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 153 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 65 minutes. The aircraft used 235 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Beechcraft Duke aircraft successfully landed at LIPB Bolzano Airport, achieving a score of 91.1%. The final approach to runway 01 was conducted from the south, with a heading of 19.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,763 feet above ground level.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 82 knots, which was slightly below the target threshold speed of 84 knots. However, the touchdown distance of 49 meters was considered good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown rate of -601 feet per minute was deemed heavy, suggesting that the aircraft may have touched down with a slightly higher than ideal rate of descent.
One notable aspect of the landing was the misalignment of the runway touchdown position, which was off-centerline by 7.7 meters. This may have been due to factors such as wind or pilot error, but it did not appear to have a significant impact on the overall safety of the landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 3°C and a wind speed of 0 knots from a direction of 45°. This meant that there was no significant crosswind or headwind to contend with, making the landing conditions relatively straightforward.
The total landing distance of 233 meters was 19% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. This suggests that the aircraft was able to stop quickly and efficiently after touchdown, with the runway rollout alignment being described as very good. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft touching down safely and coming to a stop in a controlled manner.
