Maintain the centreline
A small uncorrected heading error at 40 knots becomes a metre of offset per second by 100 knots, noticed only at rotation, producing a crabbed liftoff. Root cause is nearly always eyes on the tape instead of the far end of the runway. Small heading changes displace a distant point visibly long before the nearby centreline stripes look wrong.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
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.
Touched down 658 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Beechcraft King Air 350 taxiing from the parking area to the runway at LFLU Valence-Chabeuil Airport, a process that took 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 01, with a takeoff distance of 588 meters, which accounted for 34% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 115 knots.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it encountered local weather conditions of 16°C temperature and a wind speed of 1 knot at 270°. The enroute climb started 1 mile north of the airport, where the aircraft climbed from 1,340 feet above sea level to 15,946 feet above sea level, an increase of 14,606 feet in 11 minutes, covering 37 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise then began 1 mile southwest of Le Sappey-en-Chartreuse, lasting 11 minutes and covering 48 nautical miles. The aircraft then started another enroute climb 1 mile southwest of Praz-sur-Arly, climbing from 16,006 feet above sea level to 18,667 feet above sea level, an increase of 2,661 feet in 3 minutes, covering 14 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise continued 3 miles west of SKYW Elisuperficie Franco Garda Entreves, lasting 7 minutes and covering 28 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent overhead Menthon-Saint-Bernard, descending from 18,805 feet above sea level to 7,923 feet above sea level, a decrease of 10,881 feet in 8 minutes, covering 25 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started again 1 mile southwest of Gerbaix, lasting 2 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then began its enroute descent 1 mile southwest of Gerbaix, descending from 7,923 feet above sea level to 2,642 feet above sea level, a decrease of 5,282 feet in 5 minutes, covering 7 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 36 at LFLB Chambéry Savoie Mont Blanc Airport was made from the south, heading 354.0° at 2 nautical miles and 1,846 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 36, which had a length of 1,651 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was well above the target at 114 knots.
The touchdown point was 248 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 104 knots, which was a little fast. However, the touchdown rate was smooth at -112 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.5 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 15°C temperature and a wind speed of 1 knot at 270°.
The total landing distance was 1,124 meters, which accounted for 68% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area from the runway, a process that took 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
In total, the flight distance was 164 nautical miles, and the flight time was 52 minutes. The aircraft used 293 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Beechcraft King Air 350 successfully landed at LFLB Chambéry Savoie Mont Blanc Airport, achieving a score of 96.5%. The aircraft approached the runway from the south, heading 354.0° at 2 nautical miles and 1,846 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a smooth final approach, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed that was well above the target at 114 knots.
However, there were a few areas for improvement. The touchdown point was 248 meters beyond the touchdown zone, indicating that the pilot may have slightly over-extended the landing. Additionally, the touchdown speed of 104 knots was a little fast, which could have put additional stress on the aircraft's landing gear. On the positive side, the touchdown rate was smooth at -112 feet per minute, indicating a controlled descent.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.5 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the pilot's alignment during the approach. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a light wind of 1 knot at 270°. The crosswind was minimal at 1 knot, and there was no headwind.
The total landing distance was 1,124 meters, which was 68% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the pilot executed a good approach and touchdown. The runway rollout alignment was very good, with the aircraft tracking smoothly along the centerline after touchdown. Overall, the landing was successful, but there were a few areas for improvement that the pilot could work on to achieve an even higher score.
