Maintain the centreline
A small uncorrected heading error at 40 knots becomes a metre of offset per second by 100 knots, noticed only at rotation, producing a crabbed liftoff. Root cause is nearly always eyes on the tape instead of the far end of the runway. Small heading changes displace a distant point visibly long before the nearby centreline stripes look wrong.

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 3,905 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 366 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in the Tecnam P2006T MKII began with a smooth departure roll on runway 16 at LIRU Rome Urbe Airport. The aircraft took off effortlessly, using only 66% of the runway for a takeoff distance of 481 meters. The liftoff speed was 68 knots, and the local weather at the time of departure was calm with a temperature of 15°C and no significant wind.
The enroute climb began just 1 mile south of LIRU Rome Urbe Airport and saw the aircraft climbing from 1,110 feet above sea level to 4,918 feet, an increase of 3,808 feet in just 4 minutes while covering a distance of 5 nautical miles.
Once reaching cruising altitude, the level cruise phase started 3 miles southeast of Formello (Lazio, Italy) and lasted 9 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles. During this time, the aircraft maintained a stable cruising altitude.
The subsequent enroute descent commenced 1 mile northwest of Cesano (Lazio, Italy), with the aircraft descending from 4,998 feet above sea level to 2,502 feet, a decrease of 2,496 feet in 4 minutes while covering a distance of 10 nautical miles.
Another level cruise phase began 2 miles northeast of LIVC Campo di Volo Aerdomus Valcanneto (Lazio, Italy) and lasted 2 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles.
The landing took place on runway 16R at LIRF Rome–Fiumicino Leonardo da Vinci International Airport, which has a runway length of 3,905 meters. The aircraft approached the runway at a height of 46 feet above ground level, with a speed of 71 knots. The touchdown occurred 365 meters from the threshold at a speed of 57 knots, with a vertical speed indicator showing a descent rate of -88 feet per minute.
Overall, the total flight distance covered was 33 nautical miles, taking 68 minutes to complete. The aircraft used 13 kilograms of fuel for the entire duration of the flight. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were also calm, with a temperature of 15°C and a slight headwind of 14 knots.
Firstly, congratulations on achieving a perfect landing score of 100.0%! This is a remarkable achievement and reflects a high level of skill and precision in executing the various phases of the aircraft landing.
Let's start by examining the Approach Phase, where you displayed excellent glideslope alignment. Maintaining the correct glideslope ensures a smooth and controlled descent towards the runway, contributing to a successful landing. This demonstrates your ability to accurately judge the aircraft's position and make the necessary adjustments to stay on course.
Moving on to the Landing Phase, it is evident that your performance was strong in this area as well. Having a good threshold height indicates that you approached the runway at the correct altitude, setting the stage for a successful touchdown. Additionally, executing a perfect landing flare is essential for a smooth touchdown and minimizes the risk of a hard landing or bouncing on the runway.
In the Touchdown Phase, your performance was truly impressive. Achieving an excellent touchdown rate highlights your ability to control the aircraft's descent rate effectively, resulting in a gentle and controlled touchdown. Keeping the speed on target is crucial for a safe landing, as it ensures that the aircraft touches down at the right speed to avoid issues such as floating down the runway or landing short.
Moreover, landing within the touchdown zone and with a distance of 3.0 meters from the centerline demonstrates a high level of accuracy and precision. Staying within the designated touchdown zone and maintaining runway alignment is essential for safety and efficiency during landing operations.
Overall, your performance in each phase of the landing process was exceptional, and your attention to detail and precision are commendable. Keep up the excellent work and continue honing your skills to maintain such high standards in future flights. Well done on achieving a perfect landing score – a great accomplishment indeed!
