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 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 49 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 04 at LFLP Annecy Haute-Savoie Mont Blanc Airport. The Cessna Skyhawk took off with a takeoff distance of 397 meters, which is 35% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 62 knots. At the time of departure, the local weather conditions were a temperature of 15°C, with a wind speed of 10 knots at 11°. The crosswind component was 5 knots, while the headwind component was 9 knots.
As the aircraft climbed, it started its enroute climb overhead Metz-Tessy, located in the Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes region of France. The climb began at an altitude of 1,886 feet above sea level and reached 3,611 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,724 feet in just 5 minutes. During this climb, the aircraft covered a distance of 11 nautical miles.
The enroute descent started 1 mile southwest of Bloye, also located in the Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes region of France. The descent began at an altitude of 3,610 feet above sea level and ended at 1,986 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,624 feet in just 3 minutes. The aircraft covered a distance of 6 nautical miles during this descent.
The final approach to runway 18 at LFLB Chambéry Savoie Mont Blanc Airport was made from the north, heading 181.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,217 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 18 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 47 meters. The touchdown speed was 67 knots, which was slightly faster than the target speed. The touchdown rate was fair at -218 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 16°C, with a wind speed of 10 knots at 11°. The crosswind component was 2 knots, while the tailwind component was 10 knots. The total landing distance was 1,014 meters, which is 61% of the runway.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area from the runway, taking 3 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 22 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 13 minutes. The aircraft used 7 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Cessna Skyhawk successfully landed at LFLB Chambéry Savoie Mont Blanc Airport, achieving a high score of 97.3%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north, heading 181.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,217 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a precise final approach, aligning perfectly with the runway threshold.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was significantly above the target speed, reaching 68 knots. This indicates that the pilot had sufficient control and managed to slow down the aircraft effectively before touching down. The touchdown distance of 47 meters was also satisfactory, demonstrating the pilot's ability to control the aircraft's descent and landing.
However, the touchdown speed of 67 knots was slightly faster than expected, which may have resulted in a slightly higher touchdown rate of -218 feet per minute (fpm). Despite this, the pilot maintained good control, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating a smooth and controlled landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 16°C and a wind speed of 10 knots at 11°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, while the tailwind component was 10 knots, which may have contributed to the slightly faster touchdown speed.
The total landing distance of 1,014 meters was 61% of the runway length, indicating that the pilot had sufficient control and managed to slow down the aircraft effectively after touchdown. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control and stability during the landing roll.
Overall, the Cessna Skyhawk's landing at LFLB Chambéry Savoie Mont Blanc Airport was a success, with the pilot executing a precise and controlled approach, touchdown, and landing roll. The high score of 97.3% reflects the pilot's skill and experience in handling the aircraft in various weather conditions.
