Flight Score
Departure
Roll the wings level with aileron and hold bank within limits as you establish the climb.
What happened: Bank increased to 1.8° during the initial climb, and wings stayed over-banked at 18° into the next climb segment.
Watch for: Attitude indicator bank angle, aiming to keep it near wings-level
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.

Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 6,139 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,549 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 4 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Beechcraft A36 Bonanza, then departed from runway 22 at LSGG Geneva Cointrin International Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,246 feet, which accounted for 11% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 100 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 44°F and a wind speed of 9 knots from a direction of 209°. This resulted in a 2-knot crosswind and a 9-knot headwind. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead Le Grand-Saconnex in Geneva, Switzerland. The climb from 1,950 feet above sea level to 2,538 feet above sea level, an increase of 587 feet, took 1 minute and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted 2 minutes and covered a distance of 5 nautical miles. The next climb phase began overhead Corsier in Geneva, Switzerland, where the aircraft climbed from 2,973 feet above sea level to 4,795 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,822 feet, in 2 minutes and covering 5 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, this time lasting 11 minutes and covering 28 nautical miles, starting overhead Ballaison in Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes, France.
As the aircraft continued its journey, it began its descent phase, starting overhead Saint-Maurice in the Canton du Valais, Switzerland. The descent from 4,813 feet above sea level to 3,200 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,613 feet, took 3 minutes and covered a distance of 7 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, lasting 2 minutes and covering 6 nautical miles, starting overhead Fully in the Canton du Valais, Switzerland.
The final approach to runway 07 at LSGS Sion Airport was made from the west, with a heading of 70.0° at 3 nautical miles and 1,266 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 07 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 1,542 feet and a touchdown speed of 71 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was excellent at -71 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 34°F and a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 220°, resulting in a 2-knot crosswind and a 3-knot tailwind. The total landing distance was 2,867 feet, which accounted for 47% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took less than 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
In total, the flight covered a distance of 58 nautical miles, took 26 minutes, and used 55 pounds of fuel.
The Beechcraft A36 Bonanza successfully landed at Sion Airport (LSGS) with a score of 97.0%. The aircraft approached the runway from the west, heading 70.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,266 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a precise final approach, aligning perfectly with the runway threshold.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed on runway 07, which has a length of 6,139 feet. The threshold height was satisfactory, but the threshold speed was slightly higher than ideal at 93 knots. However, the touchdown distance of 1,542 feet was within acceptable limits, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
The touchdown speed of 71 knots was a bit faster than recommended, but the touchdown rate of -71 feet per minute (fpm) was excellent, demonstrating a high degree of control and precision. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot maintained a stable and consistent approach.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 34°F and a wind speed of 4 knots from 220°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, while the tailwind component was 3 knots. These conditions did not significantly impact the landing, and the pilot was able to maintain control throughout the approach and touchdown.
The total landing distance of 2,867 feet was 47% of the runway length, which is a reasonable and manageable distance. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the pilot maintained control and stability during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was executed with precision and control, earning a high score of 97.0%.
