Maintain a smooth pitch
When Vr arrives, an abrupt near-full-scale pull, pitch overshoots, a push, and an oscillation through the first 200 ft. It feels like “this aircraft is twitchy” but the actual fault happened before liftoff. The pitch trace needs to show a clean ramp during liftoff.

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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,651 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 86 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 7 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Piper PA-24-250 Comanche, then departed from runway 22 at LFLP Annecy Haute-Savoie Mont Blanc Airport. The takeoff distance was 321 meters, which accounted for 28% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 69 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 15°C and winds of 10 knots at 10°. The crosswind was 5 knots, while the tailwind was 9 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead Meythet in Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes, France. During this climb, the aircraft ascended from 2,498 feet above sea level to 4,347 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,849 feet in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles.
The enroute descent started overhead Chapeiry, where the aircraft descended from 4,377 feet above sea level to 3,267 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,110 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, starting overhead Chindrieux, which lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. Another descent phase began 1 mile southwest of Saint-Germain-la-Chambotte, where the aircraft descended from 3,358 feet above sea level to 1,020 feet above sea level, a decrease of 2,338 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles.
The final level cruise phase started overhead LFLB Chambéry Savoie Mont Blanc Airport, where the aircraft remained for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 36 at LFLB Chambéry Savoie Mont Blanc Airport, heading 342.0° at 2 nautical miles and 664 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 36 was successful, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 70 knots. The touchdown distance was 86 meters, and the touchdown speed was 65 knots, which was a little fast. However, the touchdown rate was perfect at -32 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was also perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15°C and winds of 10 knots at 11°, with a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 10 knots.
The total landing distance was 500 meters, which accounted for 30% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took just 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 30 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 18 minutes. The aircraft used 13 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Piper PA-24-250 Comanche successfully landed at LFLB Chambéry Savoie Mont Blanc Airport, achieving a score of 97.5%. The aircraft approached the runway from the south, heading 342.0° at 2 nautical miles and 664 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot demonstrated excellent control and precision during the final approach, ultimately landing on runway 36.
The landing was characterized by a good threshold height, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct altitude as it approached the runway threshold. The threshold speed of 70 knots was also satisfactory, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's speed during the approach. The touchdown distance of 86 meters was within acceptable limits, further highlighting the pilot's skill and control.
However, the touchdown speed of 65 knots was slightly faster than ideal, suggesting that the pilot may have been able to maintain a more optimal speed during the approach. Nevertheless, the touchdown rate of -32 feet per minute (fpm) was perfect, indicating that the aircraft touched down smoothly and without excessive deceleration. The runway touchdown alignment was also perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to align the aircraft with the runway centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 10 knots from 11°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, while the headwind component was 10 knots, which helped to reduce the aircraft's ground speed and make the landing more manageable.
The total landing distance of 500 meters was 30% of the runway length, indicating that the pilot was able to bring the aircraft to a stop within a reasonable distance. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was a success, with the pilot demonstrating excellent control and precision throughout the approach and landing phases. The score of 97.5% reflects the high level of skill and expertise displayed by the pilot during this landing.
