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.

Side view — the last 952 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 952 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 236 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft, a Cockspur PH100, taxiing from the parking area to the runway at LIPB Bolzano Airport. This process took 5 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 01, and the takeoff distance was 566 meters, which accounted for 46% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 104 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 11°C and a wind speed of 4 knots at 320°. The crosswind was 3 knots, and the headwind was 2 knots. The enroute climb started overhead Bolzano, Trentino-Alto Adige, Italy, and the aircraft ascended from 1,827 feet above sea level to 35,662 feet above sea level, an increase of 33,834 feet in 20 minutes, covering a distance of 85 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began overhead Bagnolo San Vito, Lombardia, Italy, and lasted for 11 minutes, covering a distance of 73 nautical miles. The enroute descent started 3 miles northeast of Lucca, Toscana, Italy, and the aircraft descended from 35,769 feet above sea level to 1,102 feet above sea level, a decrease of 34,668 feet in 14 minutes, covering a distance of 85 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 34 at LIRJ Marina Di Campo Airport was made from the south, heading 353.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,076 feet above ground level. The landing took place on runway 34, which had a length of 952 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 91 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 233 meters, and the touchdown speed was 84 knots, which was good. The touchdown rate was smooth at -138 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned by 18.1 meters from the centreline, and the local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 13°C and a wind speed of 5 knots at 180°. The crosswind was 2 knots, and the tailwind was 5 knots. The total landing distance was 634 meters, which accounted for 67% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was misaligned by 17.8 meters from the centreline.
The taxiing from the runway to the parking area took 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 250 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 53 minutes. The aircraft used 313 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The aircraft, Cockspur PH100, successfully landed at LIRJ Marina Di Campo Airport, achieving a score of 89.3%. The final approach was conducted from the south, heading 353.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,076 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 34, which has a length of 952 meters.
The threshold height was satisfactory, but the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 91 knots. However, the touchdown distance was good at 233 meters, and the touchdown speed of 84 knots was also within acceptable limits. The touchdown rate was smooth at -138 feet per minute (fpm), indicating a controlled descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 13°C, with a wind speed of 5 knots from 180°. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a tailwind of 5 knots. Despite these conditions, the pilot managed to maintain control of the aircraft.
However, there were some areas for improvement in the landing. The runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned by 18.1 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to the crosswind or other factors. Additionally, the runway rollout alignment was also misaligned by 17.8 meters from the centerline, which could have been caused by the pilot's response to the crosswind.
Overall, the landing was successful, but the pilot could benefit from further training or practice to improve their alignment and control during landing.
