Flight Score
Departure
Apply small rudder corrections against a point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline during the roll.
What happened: The aircraft tracked 15 m off the runway centreline during the ground roll, and flights with this pattern usually carry extra bank, around 3.6°, into the first climb.
Watch for: Heading indicator: wings level, tracking the runway centreline
Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate for a circuit: seven checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate is an instrument-approach check and does not apply.
At the 500 ft gate: no landing flap set and sink rate above what the glideslope needed.

Plan view — the full 992 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 153 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 05 at LIPV Venice-Lido Giovanni Nicelli Airfield. The aircraft, a Cessna C172, required a takeoff distance of 542 meters, which is 55% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was achieved at 78 knots.
As the aircraft entered the local weather conditions, it was noted that the temperature was 16 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 0 knots at 324 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind and headwind of 0 knots each. The pilot then entered a left-hand pattern from runway 05, completing the entry in less than 1 nautical mile in 15 seconds.
The aircraft then proceeded to the downwind leg of the pattern, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles in 55 seconds. The base leg turn was completed at an angle of 61.6 degrees to the runway, with a distance of 3 nautical miles. The base leg itself was completed in less than 1 nautical mile in 29 seconds.
The final turn was the longest part of the pattern, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles in 402 seconds. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 23, which was located to the north-east. The heading was 235 degrees, and the aircraft was at an altitude of 648 feet above ground level (agl) and 2 nautical miles from the runway.
The landing on runway 23 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 148 meters. The touchdown speed was 43 knots, and the touchdown rate was smooth at -112 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 13.3 meters.
The total landing distance was 364 meters, which is 37% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned from the centreline by 12.3 meters. The pilot then taxied the aircraft to the parking area, which took less than 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 15 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 18 minutes. The aircraft used 6 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Cessna C172 aircraft successfully landed at LIPV Venice-Lido Giovanni Nicelli Airfield, with a score of 79.5%. The final approach was conducted from the north-east, heading 235.0° at 2 nautical miles and 648 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 23, which has a length of 992 meters.
The threshold height was reported as good, and the threshold speed of 39 knots was well below the target speed, indicating a safe approach. However, pilots were advised to be cautious not to stall the aircraft. The touchdown distance of 148 meters was considered good, and the touchdown speed of 43 knots was also within acceptable limits. The touchdown rate was smooth, with a rate of -112 feet per minute (fpm).
Despite a good overall performance, there were some areas for improvement. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 13.3 meters from the centreline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the approach. Additionally, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 12.3 meters from the centreline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 0 knots from 326°. There was no crosswind or headwind, which made the landing conditions ideal. Overall, the landing was considered safe and successful, but with some room for improvement in terms of alignment and approach precision.
