Hold the approach angle
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.
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.
At the 500 ft gate: sink rate above what the glideslope needed, off the runway's 3° glideslope and off the centreline.

Plan view — the full 901 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 244 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with taxiing from the parking area to the runway, which took approximately 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 36 at Chambéry Savoie Mont Blanc Airport, with a takeoff distance of 617 meters, which accounted for 37% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 104 knots.
As the aircraft climbed, it started its enroute climb overhead Le Bourget-du-Lac, located in the Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes region of France. The climb began at an altitude of 1,751 feet above sea level and reached 4,948 feet above sea level, an increase of 3,196 feet, in just 3 minutes while covering 6 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise phase started overhead Saint-Germain-la-Chambotte, where the aircraft maintained a steady altitude for 9 minutes, covering a distance of 25 nautical miles. The descent phase began overhead Saint-Laurent, where the aircraft descended from 5,319 feet above sea level to 2,548 feet above sea level, a decrease of 2,771 feet, in 4 minutes while covering 8 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 30 at Annemasse Airfield was made from the southeast, heading 310.0 degrees, at an altitude of 919 feet above ground level and 1 nautical mile from the runway. The landing was made on runway 30, which had a length of 901 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed of 81 knots was well below the target, requiring caution to avoid stalling.
The touchdown distance was good at 242 meters, and the touchdown speed of 75 knots was also satisfactory. However, the touchdown rate was hard at -481 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned by 17.8 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 7 degrees Celsius.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, which took approximately 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 43 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 20 minutes. The aircraft used 29 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The aircraft in question, a BE58, successfully landed at LFLI Annemasse Airfield, but with some notable areas for improvement. The final approach was initiated from the south east, heading 310.0° at 1 nautical mile and 919 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot successfully touched down on runway 30, which has a length of 901 meters.
One of the key aspects of this landing was the threshold height, which was described as good. However, the threshold speed of 81 knots was well below the target speed, indicating that the pilot may have been taking a more cautious approach to avoid stalling the aircraft. This is a good practice, as it prioritizes safety over speed.
The touchdown distance of 242 meters was considered good, and the touchdown speed of 75 knots was also within acceptable limits. However, the touchdown rate was somewhat hard, at -481 feet per minute (fpm). This may indicate that the pilot could have benefited from a slightly longer rollout to dissipate the aircraft's kinetic energy more gradually.
One of the most notable issues with this landing was the significant misalignment of the runway touchdown position, which was off-center by 17.8 meters. This could have been due to a variety of factors, including wind shear, pilot error, or a combination of both. Additionally, the runway rollout alignment was also misaligned by 18.4 meters from the centerline, which could have made it more difficult for the pilot to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 7°C, which may have affected the aircraft's performance and handling characteristics. Overall, while the pilot successfully landed the aircraft, there are several areas for improvement that could be addressed in future training sessions.
