Hold the approach angle
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.

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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,132 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 214 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in the Tecnam P2006T MKII started with a departure roll on runway 12 at LIPE Bologna Guglielmo Marconi Airport. The takeoff distance was 330m, which was 15% of the total runway length. The liftoff speed was 69 knots. The local weather at the time of departure was 11°C with a 7 knot wind coming from 279°, resulting in a 2 knot crosswind and a 7 knot tailwind.
The enroute climb began overhead LIPE Bologna Guglielmo Marconi Airport, climbing from 704 ft asl to 4,991 ft asl. This was an increase of 4,288 ft over 5 minutes, covering a distance of 8nm. The level cruise portion of the flight started overhead Bentivoglio and lasted 11 minutes, covering 6nm.
The enroute descent started 1 mile southeast of Malalbergo, descending from 4,988 ft asl to 3,024 ft asl. This was a decrease of 1,964 ft over 4 minutes and covering 10nm. Another level cruise portion of the flight began 2 miles north of Medicina-Buda and lasted 8 minutes, covering 11nm.
The landing took place on runway 30 at LIPE Bologna Guglielmo Marconi Airport, which had a length of 2,132m. The height at the threshold was 40 ft agl and the speed at the threshold was 64 knots. The touchdown occurred 212m from the threshold with a touchdown speed of 54 knots and a Vertical Speed Indicator (VSI) reading of -77 ft/m. The local weather at the time of landing was 13°C with an 8 knot wind coming from 290°, resulting in a 1 knot crosswind and an 8 knot headwind. The total landing distance was 276m, which was 13% of the runway.
Overall, the total flight distance was 41nm, taking 37 minutes and using 19kg of fuel.
Overall, achieving a landing score of 95.9% is a commendable accomplishment and shows a high level of skill and proficiency in piloting an aircraft. Let's dive deeper into the specific phases of the landing to provide a detailed analysis of the score.
Starting with the Approach Phase, it is noted that there was a poor descent path above the glideslope limit and the speed was slightly below target. While these aspects could be improved upon, it is important to recognize that maintaining proper descent path and speed are crucial for a safe and efficient landing. Moving forward, focusing on these areas during the approach phase can help elevate the overall landing performance.
Transitioning to the Landing Phase, it is evident that the threshold height was good and the landing flare was executed perfectly. A good threshold height ensures a smooth transition from descent to touchdown, while a perfect landing flare indicates precise control and timing during the landing sequence. These aspects showcase a strong understanding of the aircraft's dynamics and control inputs.
In the Touchdown Phase, the touchdown rate was excellent and the speed was on target. Additionally, the touchdown distance inside the touchdown zone and the runway touchdown position were noted as very good. These factors are crucial for a successful touchdown, ensuring a smooth and stable landing on the runway. Maintaining consistency in these areas can help enhance the overall landing performance even further.
Finally, in the Rollout Phase, runway alignment was described as very good. Maintaining proper alignment during rollout is essential for safe taxiing and exiting the runway. A very good runway alignment demonstrates attention to detail and precision in maneuvering the aircraft on the runway.
In conclusion, while there were areas for improvement in the Approach Phase, the Landing Phase, Touchdown Phase, and Rollout Phase all showed strong performance, resulting in an impressive landing score of 95.9%. By focusing on refining descent path, speed control, and alignment during approach, as well as consistently executing precise landing flare, touchdown, and rollout, the overall landing performance can be further improved. Keep up the great work and continue to strive for excellence in each phase of the landing process.
