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 992 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 992 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 168 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Bonanza G36 aircraft departed from runway 05 at LIPV Venice-Lido Giovanni Nicelli Airfield, covering 49% of the runway's length in a takeoff distance of 488 meters. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 83 knots, with a local temperature of 16°C and a wind speed of 2 knots at 121 degrees. The crosswind component was 2 knots, while the headwind component was 1 knot.
As the aircraft climbed, it started its enroute climb overhead Punta Sabbioni, a location in Veneto, Italy. The climb began at an altitude of 582 feet above sea level and reached 946 feet in just 1 minute, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. This rapid ascent demonstrates the aircraft's impressive climb capabilities.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 15 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. This cruise phase took place 1 mile south of Murano, another location in Veneto, Italy.
As the aircraft approached the end of its flight, it began its final approach to runway 05 at LIPV Venice-Lido Giovanni Nicelli Airfield from the southwest, heading at 56.0 degrees and at an altitude of 211 feet above ground level. The aircraft maintained a steady approach, with a threshold speed that was slightly below the target speed of 69 knots.
The landing was successful, with a touchdown distance of 165 meters, which is 28% of the runway's length. The touchdown speed was 58 knots, and the touchdown rate was -160 feet per minute, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 8.3 meters.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in under 1 minute. The total flight distance was 4 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 20 minutes. The aircraft used 8 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Bonanza G36 aircraft successfully landed at LIPV Venice-Lido Giovanni Nicelli Airfield, achieving a score of 94.1%. The final approach to runway 05 was conducted from the south-west, with a heading of 56.0° at an altitude of 211 feet above ground level (agl) and a distance of 0 nautical miles from the runway.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway at a speed of 69 knots, which was slightly below the target threshold speed. However, the touchdown distance of 165 meters was considered good, and the touchdown speed of 58 knots was also within acceptable limits. The touchdown rate of -160 feet per minute (fpm) was also deemed satisfactory.
Despite the good performance in terms of touchdown speed and distance, the aircraft's runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 8.3 meters. This may have been due to factors such as wind or pilot error. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15°C, with a wind speed of 2 knots at 122°. The crosswind component was 2 knots, while the headwind component was 1 knot.
The total landing distance of 273 meters was 28% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. However, the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned from the centreline by 10.5 meters. This may indicate that the pilot may have experienced some difficulty in maintaining a straight course during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a good score. However, there were some minor issues with the touchdown position and runway rollout alignment, which may be worth addressing in future training or operations.
