Improve the takeoff
A typical trainer rotates in the mid-50s of knots - a 172 at around 55 KIAS, climbing out at a Vy in the low 70s, though check your own POH rather than memorising Cessna's numbers - and the transferable rule is that Vr sits just above the stall speed in takeoff configuration. Rotate early because "it felt ready" and the aircraft lifts off inside ground effect, where induced drag is reduced, then climbs out of it into more drag. On a marginal-performance day the result is an aircraft that lifts off and then refuses to climb, sagging back towards the runway.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
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 160 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Beechcraft Baron G58 taxiing from the parking area to the runway at LFLP Annecy Haute-Savoie Mont Blanc Airport. This process took approximately 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 22, with a takeoff distance of 474 meters, which accounted for 42% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 97 knots.
As the aircraft climbed, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 16°C and wind speeds of 10 knots at 11°. The crosswind was 5 knots, while the tailwind was 9 knots. The enroute climb started overhead Meythet, where the aircraft ascended from 2,475 feet above sea level to 4,074 feet, an increase of 1,599 feet in just 1 minute, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began overhead Marcellaz-Albanais and lasted for 2 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 7 nautical miles. The enroute descent started overhead Chindrieux, where the aircraft descended from 4,307 feet to 1,953 feet, a decrease of 2,353 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 18 at LFLB Chambéry Savoie Mont Blanc Airport was made from the north, with a heading of 171.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,165 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 18 was successful, with a runway length of 1,651 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was 76 knots. The touchdown distance was 160 meters, and the touchdown speed was 70 knots, both of which were considered good. The touchdown rate was smooth at -136 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 15°C and wind speeds of 10 knots at 11°. The crosswind was 2 knots, while the tailwind was 10 knots. The total landing distance was 1,426 meters, which accounted for 86% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The aircraft then taxiied to the parking area, which took approximately 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
In total, the flight covered a distance of 23 nautical miles and took 12 minutes to complete. The aircraft used 10 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Beechcraft Baron G58 successfully landed at LFLB Chambéry Savoie Mont Blanc Airport, demonstrating a high level of proficiency in its pilot. The aircraft scored an impressive 92.8% on its landing, showcasing its capabilities in various aspects of the landing process.
The final approach to runway 18 was executed from the north, with a heading of 171.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,165 feet above ground level (agl). This approach was likely a visual approach, given the pilot's ability to maintain a good threshold height and speed. The threshold speed of 76 knots was well within the acceptable range, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft performed well, with a touchdown distance of 160 meters, which is a relatively short distance considering the runway length of 1,651 meters. The touchdown speed of 70 knots was also within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -136 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth, indicating a gentle and controlled touchdown. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain a stable and aligned approach.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°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 could have potentially affected the landing. However, the pilot successfully managed the wind conditions to achieve a smooth and controlled touchdown.
The total landing distance of 1,426 meters was 86% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance. The runway rollout alignment was very good, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control and stability during the rollout phase.
Overall, the Beechcraft Baron G58's landing at LFLB Chambéry Savoie Mont Blanc Airport was a success, with the pilot demonstrating a high level of proficiency and control throughout the landing process. The aircraft's performance was impressive, and the pilot's ability to manage the wind conditions and maintain a smooth and controlled touchdown was particularly noteworthy.
