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.

Plan view — the full 3,363 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 422 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft, a Black Square Starship with the registration N45FL, taxiing from the parking area to the runway at LSZA Lugano Airport. This process took approximately 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 19, with a takeoff distance of 2,772 feet, which accounted for 82% of the runway's length. The liftoff speed was recorded at 103 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 69°F and winds of 2 knots at 4°. The crosswind was 1 knot, while the tailwind was 2 knots. The enroute climb started overhead Montagnola in Ticino, Switzerland, where the aircraft ascended from 1,928 feet above sea level to 3,889 feet, an increase of 1,961 feet in just 3 minutes, covering a distance of 8 nautical miles.
The enroute descent began 1 mile northeast of Ramponio Verna in Lombardia, Italy, where the aircraft descended from 3,791 feet above sea level to 1,227 feet, a decrease of 2,565 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 19 at LSZA Lugano Airport was made from the north, with a heading of 199.0° at 1 nautical mile and 313 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 19 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 422 feet, which was good considering the runway length of 3,363 feet. The touchdown speed was 91 knots, and the touchdown rate was excellent at -79 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the local weather conditions remained consistent, with a temperature of 68°F and winds of 3 knots at 4°.
The crosswind was 1 knot, while the tailwind was 2 knots. The total landing distance was 2,313 feet, accounting for 69% of the runway's length. The runway rollout alignment was very good, and the aircraft taxied to the parking area from the runway in less than 1 minute, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 18 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 10 minutes, with a fuel consumption of 124 pounds.
The aircraft, Black Square Starship N45FL, successfully landed at LSZA Lugano Airport, showcasing exceptional piloting skills. The final approach to runway 19 from the north was executed with precision, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 199.0° at 1 nautical mile and 313 feet above ground level (agl). This demonstrated a high level of control and situational awareness, allowing the pilot to navigate the aircraft safely and efficiently.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 91 kt, which was slightly below the target threshold speed of 94 kt. However, this minor deviation did not impact the overall performance of the landing. The touchdown distance of 422 ft was also within acceptable limits, indicating that the pilot had maintained a steady and controlled descent.
One of the standout aspects of this landing was the excellent touchdown rate of -79 fpm. This rate is significantly lower than the typical touchdown rates for most aircraft, demonstrating the pilot's exceptional skill and ability to control the aircraft's descent. Additionally, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot had maintained a steady and consistent approach to the runway.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 68°F and a gentle wind of 3 kt at 4°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 kt, and the tailwind component was 2 kt, which did not significantly impact the landing. The total landing distance of 2,313 ft was 69% of the runway length, indicating that the pilot had maintained a controlled and efficient approach to the runway.
The runway rollout alignment was also very good, demonstrating that the pilot had maintained control of the aircraft throughout the landing process. Overall, this landing was a testament to the pilot's exceptional skills and ability to navigate the aircraft safely and efficiently, even in challenging conditions.
