Departure
Apply small rudder corrections against a point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline during the roll.
What happened: The aircraft tracked 54 m off the runway centreline during the ground roll, and flights with this pattern usually carry extra bank, around 4.7°, into the first climb.
Watch for: Heading indicator: wings level, tracking the runway centreline
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: no landing flap set, sink rate above what the glideslope needed and off the centreline.
At the 500 ft gate: no landing flap set, off the runway's 4° glideslope and speed below the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
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 47 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, where the aircraft, a Piper Aerostar 600 with registration NI22PC, took off with a takeoff distance of 653 meters, which was 94% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 64 knots. At the time of departure, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 16°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from 270°, resulting in a negligible crosswind and headwind.
As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it began its enroute climb from 1,700 feet above sea level (asl) to 2,826 ft asl, an increase of 1,125 feet in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles. The climb was initiated overhead Sainte-Helene-sur-Isere in the Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes region of France. Following the climb, the aircraft began its enroute descent from 2,816 ft asl to 2,286 ft asl, a decrease of 530 feet in 2 minutes, covering another 6 nautical miles. This descent was started overhead Chamousset in the same region.
The enroute level cruise phase began overhead Planaise in the Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes region and lasted for 4 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 10 nautical miles. After completing the cruise phase, the aircraft began its final approach to runway 36 at LFLB Chambéry Savoie Mont Blanc Airport from the south, heading 4.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 722 feet above ground level (agl).
The landing on runway 36 at LFLB Chambéry Savoie Mont Blanc Airport was successful, with a touchdown distance of 44 meters and a touchdown speed of 69 knots. The touchdown rate was also good at -177 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 8.0 meters from the centreline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from 270°, resulting in a negligible crosswind and headwind.
The total landing distance was 868 meters, which was 53% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also misaligned by 29.8 meters from the centreline. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area from the runway in less than 1 minute, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 25 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 11 minutes. The aircraft used 17 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The aircraft, a Piper Aerostar 600 with the registration NI22PC, successfully landed at LFLB Chambéry Savoie Mont Blanc Airport. The pilot achieved a final approach from the south, heading 4.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 722 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 36, which has a length of 1,651 meters.
The pilot demonstrated good control during the final approach, as indicated by the threshold height and speed. The threshold speed of 70 knots was well below the target, which is a good sign, as it shows the pilot was taking care not to stall the aircraft. The touchdown distance of 44 meters was also good, and the touchdown speed of 69 knots was within the acceptable range. Furthermore, the touchdown rate of -177 feet per minute (fpm) was also good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
However, there were some minor issues during the landing. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 8.0 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the pilot's alignment during the final approach. Additionally, the runway rollout alignment was misaligned by 29.8 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight drift during the rollout.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from 270°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind and headwind, making the landing conditions relatively easy. Overall, the pilot demonstrated good control and technique during the landing, but there were some minor issues with alignment that need to be addressed in future landings.
