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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: off the centreline.

The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft, a Black Square B36TP Bonanza Professional with the registration N2585D, taxiing from the parking area to the runway at LSZL Locarno Airport. This process took approximately 5 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 08L, with a takeoff distance of 706 feet, which accounted for 27% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 91 knots.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it encountered local weather conditions of 39°F temperature and a wind speed of 4 knots at 8°. The crosswind component was 4 knots, while the headwind component was 1 knot. The enroute climb started overhead LSZL Locarno Airport, with the aircraft ascending from 1,707 feet above sea level to 3,629 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,922 feet in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles.
Later in the flight, the enroute descent started overhead Bironico, with the aircraft descending from 3,597 feet above sea level to 1,572 feet above sea level, a decrease of 2,025 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 19 at LSZA Lugano Airport was made from the north, with the aircraft heading 197.0° at 2 nautical miles and 658 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 19 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 858 feet, which was considered good. The touchdown speed was 73 knots, and the touchdown rate was perfect at -5 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was also perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 40°F temperature and a wind speed of 2 knots at 10°, with a crosswind component of 0 knots and a tailwind component of 2 knots.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking less than 1 minute and covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 11 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 9 minutes. The aircraft used 28 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The aircraft, a Black Square B36TP Bonanza Professional with the registration N2585D, successfully landed at LSZA Lugano Airport with a score of 100.0%. The final approach to runway 19 was initiated from the north, with the aircraft heading 197.0° at a distance of 2 nautical miles and an altitude of 658 feet above ground level (agl).
The landing was executed with precision, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 73 kt. The touchdown distance was within acceptable limits at 858 ft, and the touchdown rate was perfect at -5 fpm, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was also perfect, demonstrating the pilot's skill and attention to detail.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 40°F and a gentle wind of 2 kt at 10°. The crosswind component was negligible at 0 kt, and the tailwind component was minimal at 2 kt. These conditions contributed to a smooth and stable approach, allowing the pilot to focus on executing a precise landing.
The total landing distance was 2,073 ft, which is 62% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the pilot was able to maintain a high level of control and precision throughout the approach and landing phases. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control and stability during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was a textbook example of precision and control, with the pilot executing a smooth and stable approach and landing. The aircraft's performance and the pilot's skills were well-matched, resulting in a successful landing with a score of 100.0%.
