Monitor your speed
Below 10,000 ft you are typically limited to 250 kt indicated (a US rule that much of the world mirrors in some form, though not universally). This forces a deceleration around 10,000 ft whether the profile wants one or not, so plan for it rather than discovering it.

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 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 6,988 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 2,350 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 15 at LOWS Salzburg Airport, a Beechcraft King Air 350 taking to the skies. The aircraft required a takeoff distance of 1,753 feet, which was 23% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 117 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time were characterized by a temperature of 61 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind speed of 6 knots from a direction of 163 degrees. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 6 knots.
As the aircraft climbed away from Salzburg, it began its enroute climb 1 mile southwest of the airport, rising from an initial altitude of 2,426 feet above sea level to a maximum altitude of 25,316 feet. This climb phase covered a distance of 55 nautical miles and took 19 minutes to complete. The aircraft then transitioned into a level cruise, which started 4 miles southwest of Virgen, Tirol, Austria, and lasted for 43 minutes. During this phase, the aircraft covered a distance of 238 nautical miles.
The enroute descent phase began overhead Lapedona, Marche, Italy, where the aircraft descended from a maximum altitude of 25,403 feet to a final altitude of 1,856 feet. This descent phase covered a distance of 32 nautical miles and took 16 minutes to complete. The aircraft then entered a brief level cruise phase, which started 15 miles northeast of Pineto, Abruzzo, Italy, and lasted for 6 minutes. This phase covered a distance of 17 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 22 at LIBP Abruzzo Airport was made from the northeast, with the aircraft heading 219.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,090 feet above ground level. The local weather conditions at the time were characterized by a temperature of 39 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 230 degrees. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 2 knots.
The landing was executed smoothly, with the aircraft touching down 933 feet beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 85 knots, which was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate was excellent at -67 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was also perfect. The total landing distance was 3,451 feet, which was 49% of the runway length.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area from the runway, taking just 1 minute to cover a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 348 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 88 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 1,321 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Beechcraft King Air 350 successfully landed at LIBP Abruzzo Airport, achieving a score of 96.5%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north east, heading 219.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,090 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot maintained a good threshold height, which is a crucial aspect of a safe landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed on runway 22, which has a length of 6,988 feet. The threshold speed was within the acceptable range at 105 knots, indicating that the pilot had sufficient control over the aircraft during the final approach. The touchdown point was 933 feet beyond the touchdown zone, which is slightly beyond the ideal spot but still within a safe margin.
The touchdown speed of 85 knots was also within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -67 feet per minute (fpm) was excellent, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, which is a testament to the pilot's skill and attention to detail.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 39°F and a wind speed of 2 knots at 230°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, and the headwind component was 2 knots, which helped to stabilize the aircraft during the landing.
The total landing distance of 3,451 feet was 49% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the pilot had maintained control over the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was a success, with the pilot demonstrating excellent skills and judgment. The aircraft's performance was within the acceptable range, and the landing was safe and controlled.
