Departure
Ease the nose up sooner to lift off at 60 kt instead of letting speed build on the ground.
What happened: The aircraft lifted off at 72 kt, 12 kt above the target liftoff speed.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 60 kt at liftoff
See Departure Roll
Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

From brake release to the end of the climb, against time, then the takeoff point by point.
Lifted off at 72 kt with 6.3° of pitch.
Two traces from brake release: the airspeed on top, and below it the pitch, which is how far the nose is above the horizon. The figure at liftoff is the pitch then. The shaded stretch is Climb 3, the part of the climb scored on holding the climb speed.
The takeoff, point by point
Side view from the start of the roll to the end of Climb 3 at 990 ft. The distance scale changes past the runway end.
Reached 35 ft with 887 m of runway left; then climbing at 690 fpm on average to 990 ft.
The takeoff from the side: the height above the runway against the distance along it. The numbers along the runway are the speeds reached at each point. Lifting off in the amber last quarter of the runway costs marks for the roll length. The shaded stretch is Climb 3, scored on its average speed against the target.
Plan view the roll down the 2,376 m runway.
Rolled from 1,255 m in, drifted 3.6 m left of the centreline and was back on it to lift off. Airborne 55 % of the way down the runway, before the 75 % line.
The roll from above, with your left at the top. The line is where the wheels went, and "widest" is the furthest you drifted off the centreline. Lifting off before the amber 75 % line gets full marks for the roll length. The arrow beside the runway is the crosswind, pointing the way the air was moving, so it pushed the aircraft that way.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
At the 1,000 ft gate: centreline more than 1° off.
At the 500 ft gate: centreline more than 1° off.
When the approach was stable
Every check met from 1.4 to 0.5 nm, then not again: fast from 0.5 nm to the threshold.
Each line is one of the gate checks, run along the whole final rather than only at the gates: green where it would have passed, amber where it would not. The glideslope, centreline and speed lines use the bands in the charts beside this card. The sink rate is allowed what the glideslope needs at your ground speed plus 600 fpm, the wings 10° of bank, and the gear and flap are read from when you moved the levers. The bottom line is green where every check held at once, ignoring blips shorter than 0.2 nm, and the sentence above it says from where it held to the threshold. A ring is a stabilisation gate, where the checks in the table were taken.
The final from 4 nm, with the stabilisation gates on it.
Profile height against the 3° glideslope, with its 2° band in green.
Inside the glideslope band from 4 nm to the threshold, never more than 290 ft above the slope.
Your height above the runway against the distance still to go. The glideslope is the steady descent path to the aiming point, 305 m past the threshold: 3° here, which is about 320 ft for every nautical mile out, crossing the threshold at about 50 ft. The row under the distances is the height it puts you at. Inside the green band your path is drawn green; outside it, amber. A ring is a stabilisation gate: green when every check there passed, amber with the failed checks named beside it.
Plan distance off the extended centreline, your left at the top, with the 1° band. Sideways distances are drawn 3× larger than distances along the final.
Joined 596 m right of the centreline, then inside the band from 1.4 nm to the threshold.
Looking down from above, flying left to right towards the runway: up the page is left of the centreline, down is right. Sideways distances are stretched so that small drifts show, so a line that looks wild here may be only a few tens of feet. The labels are how far off you were at each distance, amber when outside the band.
Speed against the approach speed. The green band runs from 5 kt slow to 41 kt fast at the 1,000 ft gate, closing to 24 at 500 ft and 10 at the threshold.
Inside the speed band from 4 nm to 0.5 nm, then fast to the threshold (up to +15 kt).
Your indicated airspeed down the final, against the approach speed for this aircraft at its landing weight. The band allows 5 kt slow and more on the fast side further out, closing as you get lower, because the speed is expected to come off on the way down. The figures are knots above (+) or below (−) the approach speed.
Over the threshold
Touchdown
Very good landing flare
Little crosswind (2 kt): nothing to correct for. Touched down with the nose 2° left of the track, wings level.
Wind 190° at 3 kt · 1 kt tail · 2 kt across
The wind is the one recorded at the landing, split along the runway (headwind or tailwind) and across it. To hold the centreline in a crosswind the nose points a little into wind - the crab - and is straightened with rudder just before the wheels touch, often with the into-wind wing lowered to stop the drift. These are the nose against the direction you were actually moving, and the wings, at the moment of touchdown. Shown for reading; not marked.
From 72 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 9 s, an average deceleration of 0.25 g.
Your ground speed from the moment the wheels touched until you were down to taxi speed, against the distance rolled. A steep line is hard braking, a shallow one a long, gentle roll. For scale, an airliner's lowest autobrake setting decelerates at about 0.15 g, a medium one about 0.3 g. Shown for reading; not marked.
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Crossed the threshold at 27 ft, 23 ft below the 50 ft target. Touched down 534 m in, 229 m past the ideal 305 m.
The last stretch of the approach and the touchdown, from the side. The height is stretched so that the last few feet show: 80 ft top to bottom, against 1,524 m across. The dashed line is the ideal, 50 ft over the threshold and down 305 m in. The flare ring is where you began raising the nose, and "descent slowed" is where the sink came off; the figures beside them are the sink rate, pitch and speed at that point.
Sink and pitch — through the flare, lined up with the side view.
The sink went from 590 fpm at 25 ft to 130 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 5.8° on the way down.
Lined up with the side view above, so a point on one sits under the same point of the other. On top, how fast you were coming down: 0 is level, and −600 is 600 ft a minute down. Below, the pitch. In a flare the nose comes up and the descent slows towards 0. The figure at the touchdown line is your touchdown rate.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,376 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 2.8 m left of the centreline, and stayed about there down the rollout, 4 m left at the widest.
The runway from above, with your left at the top. Touching down inside the green bracket scores full marks for the distance. The shaded part is the rollout, up to where it ended. The arrow beside the runway is the crosswind, pointing the way the air was moving, so it pushed the aircraft that way.
Touched down 534 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Tecnam P2006T MKII aircraft departed from runway 31 at LIPR Federico Fellini International Airport, covering a takeoff distance of 73 meters, which is just 3% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 72 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius and a gentle wind blowing at 3 knots from a direction of 190 degrees.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead the city of Rimini in the Emilia-Romagna region of Italy. The climb was steep, with the aircraft ascending from an altitude of 1,032 feet above sea level to 3,882 feet in just 5 minutes, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. This impressive climb rate allowed the aircraft to reach a cruising altitude quickly, and it then leveled off and began its enroute level cruise.
The enroute level cruise lasted for 12 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. This was followed by a descent, which started overhead the town of Riccione in the Emilia-Romagna region. The descent was equally impressive, with the aircraft dropping from an altitude of 3,871 feet to 2,333 feet in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles. The aircraft then leveled off again and began another enroute level cruise, this time lasting for just 3 minutes and covering a distance of 2 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached the end of its journey, it began its final approach to runway 31 at LIPR Federico Fellini International Airport. The approach was made from the southeast, with the aircraft heading 299.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The aircraft then touched down on the runway, with the touchdown point being 98 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was a little fast at 70 knots, but the touchdown rate was smooth at -115 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the runway rollout alignment was also excellent. The total landing distance was 749 meters, which is just 32% of the runway length. The aircraft used a total of 12 kilograms of fuel during the flight, which lasted for 25 minutes and covered a total distance of 17 nautical miles.
