Departure
Use small, coordinated rudder and aileron inputs to hold your assigned climb heading as soon as drift begins.
What happened: During the second climb segment, you let the aircraft drift off the assigned heading.
Watch for: Heading indicator: steady on the assigned climb heading
Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without 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.
The approach that landed joined below the 500 ft gate, after a go-around. The gate assessed on the earlier approach is not shown - it was not the landing's.
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.
Touched down 580 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 05 at LFKA Albertville General Pierre Delachenal Airfield, a Piper PA-24-250 Comanche aircraft. The takeoff distance was 344 meters, which is 50% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 78 knots, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius.
As the aircraft climbed, it started its enroute climb overhead Monthion, Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes, France. The climb was from an altitude of 1,653 feet above sea level to 3,169 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,516 feet in just 3 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise then started overhead Montailleur, Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes, France, and lasted for 6 minutes, covering a distance of 15 nautical miles.
The enroute descent began overhead Apremont, Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes, France, and involved a descent from 2,182 feet above sea level to 1,596 feet above sea level, a decrease of 586 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise then started again overhead Jacob-Bellecombette, Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes, France, and lasted for 4 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 18 at LFLB Chambéry Savoie Mont Blanc Airport was made from the north, heading 160.0 degrees at 1 nautical mile and 892 feet above ground level. However, a go-around was initiated at 11 feet above ground level. The landing was eventually made on runway 18, with a runway length of 1,651 meters. The threshold height was good, but the threshold speed was a little below the target at 61 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 216 meters, and the touchdown speed was 54 knots, which was also good. However, the touchdown rate was very heavy at -1,267 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was excessively misaligned by 130.3 meters from the centerline. The total landing distance was 528 meters, which is 32% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also excessively misaligned by 127.8 meters from the centerline.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area from the runway, taking 1 minute and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 30 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 18 minutes. The aircraft used 100 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The aircraft in question, a Piper PA-24-250 Comanche, has completed a landing at LFLB Chambéry Savoie Mont Blanc Airport. The final approach was initiated from the north, heading 160.0° at a distance of 1 nautical mile and an altitude of 892 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft successfully landed on runway 18, which has a length of 1,651 meters.
Upon reviewing the landing performance, it is evident that the threshold height was significantly above the target, indicating that the aircraft touched down at a higher altitude than desired. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 72 kt, suggesting that the pilot maintained a relatively high speed during the approach. In contrast, the second landing on the same runway showed a good threshold height, but the threshold speed was a little below the target at 61 kt.
The touchdown distance of 216 meters was deemed good, and the touchdown speed of 54 kt was also within acceptable limits. Nevertheless, the touchdown rate was very heavy at -1,267 feet per minute (fpm), which may indicate a hard landing. Furthermore, the runway touchdown position was excessively misaligned by 130.3 meters from the centerline, suggesting that the pilot may have deviated from the intended landing path.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 16°C. The total landing distance of 528 meters was 32% of the runway length, which is relatively short. However, the runway rollout alignment was also excessively misaligned by 127.8 meters from the centerline, indicating that the pilot may have struggled to maintain control during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing performance of the Piper PA-24-250 Comanche at LFLB Chambéry Savoie Mont Blanc Airport was mixed, with some aspects meeting the desired standards and others requiring improvement. The heavy touchdown rate and excessive misalignment during the rollout phase are areas that require attention to ensure safe and efficient landing operations.
