Slow the descent speed
Below 10,000 ft you are typically limited to 250 kt indicated (a US rule that much of the world mirrors in some form, though not universally). This forces a deceleration around 10,000 ft whether the profile wants one or not, so plan for it rather than discovering it.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,103 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 348 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in question was conducted on a Cockspur PH100 aircraft, departing from LIMW Aosta Corrado Gex Airport. The taxiing process from the parking area to the runway took approximately 8 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 09, with a takeoff distance of 909 meters, which accounted for 61% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 107 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 16°C and wind speeds of 19 knots at 279°. The crosswind was 5 knots, while the tailwind was 18 knots. The enroute climb started overhead Quart, Regione Autonoma Valle d'Aosta, Italy, and reached an altitude of 17,438 feet above sea level (asl) in 5 minutes, covering a distance of 18 nautical miles. The aircraft then transitioned into a level cruise, starting 1 mile west of Gaby, Regione Autonoma Valle d'Aosta, Italy, and lasting for 3 minutes, covering 19 nautical miles.
The enroute descent began 1 mile north-west of Villa del Bosco, Piemonte, Italy, and descended from 17,405 ft asl to 6,662 ft asl, a decrease of 10,743 ft in 8 minutes, covering 42 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting overhead Settimo Torinese, Piemonte, Italy, and lasting for 2 minutes, covering 6 nautical miles. The enroute descent resumed overhead Pino Torinese, Piemonte, Italy, and descended from 6,204 ft asl to 5,696 ft asl, a decrease of 508 ft in 2 minutes, covering 6 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting 1 mile east of Villastellone, Piemonte, Italy, and lasting for 3 minutes, covering 13 nautical miles. The enroute descent began 2 miles north-east of Marene, Piemonte, Italy, and descended from 5,079 ft asl to 2,365 ft asl, a decrease of 2,714 ft in 2 minutes, covering 6 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 21 at LIMZ Cuneo International Airport was conducted from the north-east, heading 213.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,097 ft above ground level (agl). The landing took place on runway 21, which had a length of 2,103 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 90 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 348 meters, and the touchdown speed was 82 knots, which was also good. The touchdown rate was perfect at 29 feet per minute (fpm).
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.5 meters from the centreline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 12°C and wind speeds of 6 knots at 50°. The crosswind was 2 knots, while the tailwind was 6 knots. The total landing distance was 1,164 meters, which accounted for 55% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
The taxiing process from the runway to the parking area took approximately 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 117 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 34 minutes. The aircraft used 205 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The aircraft, Cockspur PH100, successfully landed at LIMZ Cuneo International Airport, achieving a high score of 99.0%. The final approach was conducted from the north-east, heading 213.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,097 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing on runway 21, the aircraft demonstrated good control, with a threshold height that was satisfactory. However, the threshold speed was slightly below the target speed of 90 knots. Despite this, the touchdown distance of 348 meters was considered good, and the touchdown speed of 82 knots was also within acceptable limits.
The touchdown rate of 29 feet per minute (fpm) was perfect, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.5 meters from the centerline, which may require some adjustments in the approach procedure.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 12°C and a wind speed of 6 knots from a direction of 50°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, while the tailwind component was 6 knots. These conditions did not appear to have a significant impact on the landing.
The total landing distance of 1,164 meters was 55% of the runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was well under control during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, and the aircraft demonstrated good control and handling characteristics. However, some minor adjustments may be necessary to improve the alignment of the touchdown position and to ensure that the threshold speed is met.
