Improve the takeoff
The rudder input is a changing profile through the roll rather than one that is held. So the demand on your right foot starts large at power application, eases as speed builds and the rudder gains authority, then jumps again at rotation.

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 406 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 04L at LIPZ Venice Marco Polo Airport. The aircraft, a FFX P180, accelerated down the runway and lifted off at a speed of 115 knots. The takeoff distance was 108 meters, which accounted for 4% of the runway length. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 9 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 17 knots from a direction of 79 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 10 knots and a headwind of 13 knots.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead LIPZ Venice Marco Polo Airport. The aircraft climbed from an altitude of 591 feet above sea level to 1,390 feet, an increase of 798 feet, in just 2 minutes. During this time, the aircraft covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise phase followed, where the aircraft flew at a steady altitude for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles.
The enroute descent phase began 2 miles south of Giudecca, where the aircraft descended from an altitude of 1,154 feet to 532 feet, a decrease of 622 feet, in 2 minutes. The aircraft covered a distance of 2 nautical miles during this phase. The final approach to runway 05 at LIPV Venice-Lido Giovanni Nicelli Airfield was made from the south west, with the aircraft heading 55.0 degrees at an altitude of 511 feet above ground level and 1 nautical mile from the runway.
The landing was made on runway 05, which had a length of 992 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly below the target speed of 110 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 405 meters, and the touchdown speed was 99 knots, which was within the acceptable range. However, the touchdown rate was fair at -224 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 3.3 meters.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 7 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 8 knots from a direction of 80 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 7 knots. The total landing distance was 740 meters, which accounted for 75% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating a smooth and controlled landing.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area from the runway, taking 4 minutes to cover a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 13 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 11 minutes. The aircraft used 68 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The aircraft, identified as FFX P180 03 01, successfully landed at LIPV Venice-Lido Giovanni Nicelli Airfield, with a score of 99.1%. The final approach to runway 05 was initiated from the south west, with a heading of 55.0° at a distance of 1 nautical mile and an altitude of 511 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway, with a touchdown speed of 99 kn, which was considered good. The touchdown distance was also satisfactory, measuring 405 meters. However, the touchdown rate was fair, at -224 feet per minute (fpm). This indicates that the aircraft touched down slightly more quickly than desired.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline, by 3.3 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 7°C, with a wind speed of 8 kn from a direction of 80°. This resulted in a crosswind of 4 kn and a headwind of 7 kn.
The total landing distance was 740 meters, which is 75% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was able to touch down and come to a stop within a reasonable distance. The runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the aircraft was able to maintain a stable and controlled descent during the landing.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft touching down safely and coming to a stop within a reasonable distance. However, there were some minor issues with the touchdown rate and runway alignment, which may be addressed in future training or operations.
