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
Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
At the 1,000 ft gate: gear still up and no landing flap set.
At the 500 ft gate: gear still up, no landing flap set and off the centreline.

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 312 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 23 at LFKA Albertville General Pierre Delachenal Airfield, a Piper PA-24-250 Comanche aircraft. The takeoff distance was 432 meters, which accounted for 62% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 80 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 Sainte-Helene-sur-Isere, located in the Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes region of France. The climb from 1,321 feet above sea level to 3,486 feet above sea level was a significant increase of 2,164 feet in just 3 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles. Following this climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 3 minutes and covered 9 nautical miles, starting overhead Bourgneuf.
The enroute descent phase began overhead Les Mollettes, where the aircraft descended from 3,409 feet above sea level to 2,932 feet above sea level, a decrease of 478 feet in 2 minutes, covering 4 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, this time starting overhead Apremont, which lasted for 2 minutes and covered 4 nautical miles. The final descent phase began overhead Montagnole, where the aircraft descended from 2,481 feet above sea level to 1,846 feet above sea level, a decrease of 634 feet in 2 minutes, covering 3 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 36 at LFLB Chambéry Savoie Mont Blanc Airport was made from the south, heading 352.0 degrees at 2 nautical miles and 1,068 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 36 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 310 meters, which was good. The touchdown speed was 56 knots, also within the target range. However, the touchdown rate was fair at -277 feet per minute.
The total landing distance was 832 meters, which accounted for 50% of the runway. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, but the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 7.9 meters from the centerline. The taxiing to the parking from the runway took 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 28 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 16 minutes, using 11 kilograms of fuel.
The Piper PA-24-250 Comanche successfully landed at LFLB Chambéry Savoie Mont Blanc Airport, achieving a score of 92.0%. The aircraft approached the runway from the south, heading 352.0° at 2 nautical miles and 1,068 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with precision, and the aircraft landed safely on runway 36, which has a length of 1,651 meters.
The threshold height at 58 feet agl was slightly above the target, indicating a minor deviation from the ideal approach path. However, the threshold speed of 64 knots was slightly below the target, suggesting that the pilot may have been able to maintain a more stable approach. The touchdown distance of 310 meters was considered good, and the touchdown speed of 56 knots was also within acceptable limits.
The touchdown rate of -277 feet per minute (fpm) was fair, indicating that the aircraft may have experienced a slight loss of altitude during the landing. Nevertheless, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's skill and control during the final stages of the approach.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 16°C, which may have affected the aircraft's performance. The total landing distance of 832 meters was 50% of the runway length, indicating that the pilot was able to bring the aircraft to a stop within a reasonable distance.
During the rollout, the aircraft's alignment with the centerline was slightly misaligned by 7.9 meters, which may have been due to a minor deviation in the pilot's control inputs. Despite this minor issue, the overall performance of the aircraft and the pilot during the landing was impressive, earning a score of 92.0%.
