Improve the rollout
Ground control varies with speed, full authority at walking pace, progressively reducing as groundspeed rises. The aircraft becomes twitchy at any speed, every small pedal input swings the nose, which can encourage large-amplitude leg inputs that no real aircraft would accept.

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 334 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in the Cessna C182 from LFLE Chambéry Challes-les-Eaux Airfield to LFLB Chambéry Savoie Mont Blanc Airport was relatively smooth overall. The departure from runway 32 at LFLE involved a takeoff distance of 680m, using 69% of the runway, with a liftoff speed of 68 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were 16°C with a 1 knot wind coming from 269°, resulting in a very light crosswind and headwind component.
The enroute climb began over La Ravoire in Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes, France. The aircraft climbed from 1,203 ft above sea level to 1,822 ft, gaining 619 ft in 3 minutes and covering a distance of 4 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 36 at LFLB was executed from the south, with a heading of 348.0° at 2 nm and an altitude of 1,035 ft above ground level. The landing on runway 36 at LFLB was successful, with a runway length of 1,651m. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed exceeded the target at 70 knots. The touchdown distance was 333m, with a touchdown speed of 60 knots, slightly faster than ideal. However, the touchdown rate was good at -163 ft/min, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather at the time of landing was 15°C with a 1 knot wind from 270°, resulting in a negligible crosswind component and no headwind.
The total landing distance was 1,124m, using 68% of the runway, however, the runway rollout alignment was slightly off-centre by 30.8m. Taxiing from the runway to the parking area took less than 1 minute and covered less than 1 nm.
Overall, the total flight distance was 7nms, taking 6 minutes to complete, and consumed 2 kg of fuel. The flight was successful, with minor deviations in touchdown speed and runway alignment during landing.
Overall, the aircraft landing score of 85.9% indicates a solid performance with room for improvement in certain areas.
In the Approach Phase, the excellent glideslope alignment and threshold speed being well above target at 70 knots are commendable. This shows good control and precision during the descent towards the runway. Ensuring proper speed management is crucial for a safe and smooth landing.
Moving on to the Landing Phase, it is positive to note the good threshold height and great landing flare. This indicates that the pilot was able to execute a smooth transition from descent to landing, maintaining a proper altitude above the runway threshold. However, the poor bank angle stability during landing suggests that there may have been some lateral instability in the aircraft during the touchdown phase. This can be improved through adjusting control inputs and maintaining a steady approach path.
In the Touchdown Phase, the touchdown rate of -163 ft/m is within acceptable limits, indicating a reasonable descent rate upon impact with the runway. However, the touchdown speed being fast at 60 knots may have led to a firmer landing than desired. It would be beneficial to aim for a smoother touchdown by reducing speed slightly. The touchdown distance of 333 meters is good, showing that the aircraft touched down at an appropriate point along the runway. Additionally, the runway touchdown alignment being very good suggests that the aircraft was properly aligned with the centerline during landing.
Overall, while the landing score of 85.9% reflects a generally successful landing, there are areas for improvement such as speed control, lateral stability, and touchdown smoothness. By focusing on these areas and practicing precise landing techniques, the overall landing performance can be further improved in future flights. Keep up the good work and continue striving for excellence in aircraft landings.
