Flight Score
Departure
Lower the nose and add power to raise climb speed to 83 kt.
What happened: Climb speed was 64 kt against a target of 83 kt, running 19 kt slow through the climb.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator against the climb target of 83 kt.
Arrival
Steepen the descent on final to bring the aircraft back down to the glideslope and cross the threshold at 46 ft.
What happened: The approach was flown off the glideslope, and crossing the threshold high like this usually carries the touchdown long.
Watch for: Watch the VASI or PAPI glideslope indication against the threshold crossing height of 46 ft.
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: seven checks where the approach path is 300 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out. These checks are the approach's score.
At the 300 ft gate: glideslope 9.2° against the runway's 3° and wings 13° of bank, against a 10° limit.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 837 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 837 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 382 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Cessna Skyhawk departed LIRU Rome Urbe Airport on runway 34, executing a take-off roll of 333 m which represented 40 % of the available runway. Rotation was achieved at 60 kt. Ambient conditions were 15 °C with a wind of 1 kt from 269°, a cross-wind component of 1 kt and no head-wind.
Climb commenced one mile north of the airport, where the aircraft rose from 546 ft asl to 1,185 ft asl, gaining 639 ft in one minute while covering 2 nm.
Level cruise began one mile west of LIRU and was maintained for five minutes, during which the aircraft travelled six nautical miles.
During the final approach the descent reduced altitude from 1,172 ft agl to 73 ft agl in 51 seconds, and the flight was recorded as having scored on the stabilisation gates.
The approach to runway 34 was performed under the same weather as departure-15 °C, wind 1 kt from 270°, cross-wind 1 kt and zero head-wind-guiding the aircraft to the landing threshold.
Landing on runway 34, which is 837 m long, occurred with a threshold height of 68 ft agl that was above target and a threshold speed of 75 kt, also above target. Touchdown was achieved 382 m down the runway at 53 kt with a descent rate of minus 154 fpm, and runway-touchdown alignment was very good.
The rollout covered a total landing distance of 525 m, representing 63 % of the runway, and alignment during rollout remained very good.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to parking in less than one minute, covering less than one nautical mile.
In total the flight covered 11 nm, taking 10 and used 5 kg of fuel.
