The flight began with the Pesim FPV Drone Racer taxiing from the parking area to the runway at LIMW Aosta Corrado Gex Airport, a process that took 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The drone then departed from runway 09, with a takeoff distance of 320 meters, which accounted for 21% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 71 knots.
As the drone climbed, it started its enroute climb from an altitude of 2,161 feet above sea level (asl) to 5,148 ft asl, an increase of 2,987 feet in just 4 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles. This climb took place overhead LIMW Aosta Corrado Gex Airport Saint-Christophe. Following this, the drone entered an enroute level cruise, which started overhead Saint-Pierre and lasted for 11 minutes, covering 11 nautical miles.
The drone then initiated another enroute climb, this time from 4,990 ft asl to 7,011 ft asl, an increase of 2,021 feet in just 3 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles. This climb took place overhead Courmayeur. After this climb, the drone entered another enroute level cruise, which started 3 miles west of Courmayeur and lasted for 2 minutes, covering 2 nautical miles.
As the drone approached its destination, it performed a go-around at LFLJ Courchevel Altiport, runway 22, at an altitude of 1,474 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach to runway 22 was made from the north-east, heading 224.0° at 0 nautical miles and -70 feet agl.
The drone landed safely on runway 22 at LFLJ Courchevel Altiport, which had a length of 545 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was a little below the target at 64 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 59 meters, and the touchdown speed at 60 knots was also good. The touchdown rate was perfect at 15 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 13.6 meters from the centreline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 18°C and a wind speed of 6 knots at 145°. The crosswind was 6 knots, and the headwind was 1 knot. The total landing distance was 282 meters, which accounted for 52% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 12.9 meters from the centreline.
In total, the flight covered a distance of 49 nautical miles and took 29 minutes to complete, using 10 kilograms of fuel.

The Pesim FPV Drone Racer successfully landed at LFLJ Courchevel Altiport, but the landing was not without its challenges. The aircraft approached the runway from the north east, heading 224.0° at 0 nm and -70 ft above ground level (agl). The final approach was made with a wind of 6 kt at 145°, resulting in a crosswind of 6 kt and a headwind of 1 kt.
The initial landing attempt was not ideal, as the aircraft touched down before the threshold, which is the beginning of the runway. The touchdown speed of 97 kt was also too fast, indicating that the pilot may have been unable to slow the aircraft down sufficiently before touching down. However, the touchdown rate of -86 fpm was excellent, indicating that the aircraft was able to absorb the impact of landing smoothly.
The runway touchdown position was excessively misaligned by 16,313.2 m from the centreline, which is a significant deviation. This suggests that the pilot may have had difficulty aligning the aircraft with the runway during the approach.
In a subsequent landing attempt, the aircraft touched down at a speed of 60 kt, which was good. The touchdown rate was perfect at 15 fpm, and the touchdown distance was good at 59 m. However, the runway touchdown position was still misaligned by 13.6 m from the centreline.
The total landing distance was 282 m, which is 52% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the pilot was able to bring the aircraft to a stop quickly. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 12.9 m from the centreline, suggesting that the pilot may have had difficulty maintaining a straight course during the rollout.
Overall, the Pesim FPV Drone Racer's landing at LFLJ Courchevel Altiport was marked by some challenges, including excessive crosswind, misaligned touchdown positions, and high touchdown speeds. However, the pilot was able to make adjustments and improve the landing performance in subsequent attempts.
