Flight Score
Departure
Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.
What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 6.5°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
Arrival
Begin raising the nose earlier, by 11 ft, so the flare has time to arrest the sink before touchdown.
What happened: The flare began late at 0.3 ft, 11 ft below the normal band, and a late flare like this usually leaves too little time to arrest the sink before touchdown.
Watch for: Watch radio altitude and start the flare in the normal band, around 11 ft.
Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without it.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,291 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 171 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight departed from Verona Villafranca Valerio Catullo Airport, LIPX, on runway 04, with a takeoff distance of 504 meters, representing 17% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 80 knots, with a local temperature of 16°C and a wind of 1 knot from 270 degrees, resulting in a negligible crosswind and tailwind component.
Following a brief climb from 901 feet above sea level to 7,900 feet, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, maintaining an altitude of 7,900 feet for 20 minutes while covering 57 nautical miles. The enroute climb and cruise phases were punctuated by several descent and level cruise segments, with the aircraft descending from 6,991 feet to 4,047 feet in 5 minutes, and then leveling off at 4,047 feet for 7 minutes before descending again to 3,005 feet. The final descent phase began 4 miles east of Campagna Lupia, with the aircraft touching down on runway 04R at Venice Marco Polo Airport, LIPZ, after a total flight distance of 140 nautical miles.
The landing was characterized by a good threshold height, threshold speed, and touchdown distance, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 63 knots and a rate of -402 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the runway rollout alignment was perfect. The total landing distance was 584 meters, representing 18% of the runway length. The flight used 193 kilograms of fuel and took 62 minutes to complete, with taxiing to the parking taking 4 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile.
The aircraft touched down on runway 04R at LIPZ Venice Marco Polo Airport with a good threshold height, indicating a well-executed approach. The threshold speed of 65 kt was also satisfactory, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's descent and airspeed. As the aircraft made contact with the runway, it did so at a speed of 63 kt, which was within the acceptable range for a safe touchdown.
The touchdown distance of 194 m was good, indicating a controlled and stable approach. However, the touchdown rate of -402 fpm was hard, suggesting that the pilot may have been able to flare the aircraft more effectively to achieve a softer touchdown. Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, with the aircraft remaining centered on the runway. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15 °C and a light wind of 1 kt from 270 °, contributed to a stable and predictable approach.
The aircraft's rollout was smooth and controlled, with perfect alignment on the runway centerline. The total landing distance of 584 m, which accounted for only 18% of the runway length, was impressive, demonstrating the pilot's skill and precision in managing the aircraft's descent and touchdown. Overall, the landing was scored 98.1%, reflecting the high level of proficiency and control displayed by the pilot throughout the approach and touchdown phases.
