Work on the flare
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.

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 1,683 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,683 m of the 2,403 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,541 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Tecnam P2006T MKII aircraft took off from runway 03 at LIKO Guglielmo Zamboni after a departure roll of 320 meters, which is 47% of the runway's length. The aircraft lifted off at a liftoff speed of 69 knots. At the time of takeoff, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 26°C, with a wind speed of 4 knots from 250°, resulting in a crosswind of 3 knots and a tailwind of 3 knots.
As the aircraft departed, it started to climb en route, beginning from 1 mile northeast of the LIKO Guglielmo Zamboni airport. The aircraft climbed from an altitude of 939 feet to 1,216 feet in less than 1 minute, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The flight continued with level cruise phases, with the first one starting 1 mile northeast of the LIKO Guglielmo Zamboni airport and lasting 5 minutes, covering 9 nautical miles.
The aircraft then started another en route climb, this time from 1 mile southwest of the LIHC Campo di Volo Delta club Conselice, to an altitude of 10,422 feet. The climb lasted 13 minutes and covered a distance of 8 nautical miles. Following this climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, starting overhead LIVO Campo di Volo Ali Filanti Voltana, which lasted 7 minutes and covered 14 nautical miles.
Throughout the flight, the aircraft's descent phases started in various locations, with some of them beginning 1 mile south of Russi, overhead Forlì Airport, 1 mile south east of Cesena, and 1 mile west of Forlimpopoli. The descent phases resulted in altitude decreases of various magnitudes, with some of the most significant decreases being from 10,564 feet to 4,634 feet and from 4,112 feet to 2,668 feet.
The aircraft's climb phases started in different locations, with some beginning 1 mile north east of Bertinoro, 2 miles south east of Faenza, overhead Forlimpopoli, and overhead Forlimpopoli again. These climb phases resulted in significant altitude increases, with some of the most notable increases being from 939 feet to 1,216 feet and from 426 feet to 4,135 feet.
Finally, the Tecnam P2006T MKII aircraft began its final approach to runway 12 at LIPK Forlì Airport from the west. The aircraft descended to an altitude of 644 feet above ground level at a distance of 3 nautical miles from the runway threshold. Upon landing, the aircraft was found to have used more than 50% of available runway, with a touchdown point that was slightly misaligned from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 29°C and a wind speed of 3 knots from 46°, resulting in a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 1 knot. The touchdown speed of 67 knots was good, and the touchdown rate of -228 feet per minute was fair. The aircraft used 1,533 meters of runway, which is 64% of the available runway length.
The Tecnam P2006T MKII aircraft was in the midst of a landing at LIPK Forlì Airport, attempting to land on runway 12 from the west. As the plane descended towards the runway, it was situated at a height of 644 feet above ground level (agl) and was around 3 nautical miles away from the runway, heading towards it at an angle of 92.0 degrees.
Unfortunately, issues were encountered during the final approach to the runway. The aircraft crossed the threshold height of 136 feet agl at an excessively high altitude, which can increase the risk of a tail strike during landing. Additionally, the aircraft touched down at a speed of 100 knots, exceeding the recommended target speed, which can lead to increased braking distances and runway occupancy times.
The landing itself was completed with a touchdown speed of 67 knots, which is good. However, the touchdown rate was fair at -228 feet per minute in the vertical plane. It's worth noting that a higher than desirable touchdown rate can increase wear and tear on the aircraft's undercarriage and may also increase the likelihood of the plane bouncing on landing.
Upon touching down, the plane drifted off of the runway's centreline by 5.8 metres, although this can be attributed to the slight crosswind of 3 knots that was present. Despite this minor misalignment, the runway rollout alignment itself was very good.
The total landing distance of 1,533 metres occupied around 64% of the airport's 2,403-metre runway, indicating a relatively long landing distance on this occasion. Nonetheless, this can be partly attributed to the higher than desirable crosswind and headwind conditions that were present during the landing. With a temperature of 29 degrees Celsius and a moderate headwind of 1 knot and slight crosswind component of 2 knots, it seems that these weather conditions may have played a role in increasing the landing distance and runway occupancy. Further analysis is required to determine the root cause of the long touchdown point and to identify opportunities for improvement in future landings.
