Departure
Roll the wings level with aileron and hold bank within limits as you establish the climb.
What happened: Bank increased to 1.4° during the initial climb, and wings stayed over-banked at 9.8° 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.

From brake release to the end of the climb, against time, then the takeoff point by point.
Lifted off at 114 kt with 2.2° of pitch.
Two traces from brake release: the airspeed on top, and below it the pitch, which is how far the nose is above the horizon. The figure at liftoff is the pitch then. The shaded stretch is Climb 3, the part of the climb scored on holding the climb speed.
The takeoff, point by point
Side view from the start of the roll to the end of Climb 3 at 775 ft.
Reached 35 ft with 1,102 m of runway left; then climbing at 1,460 fpm on average to 775 ft.
The takeoff from the side: the height above the runway against the distance along it. The numbers along the runway are the speeds reached at each point. Lifting off in the amber last quarter of the runway costs marks for the roll length. The shaded stretch is Climb 3, scored on its average speed against the target.
Plan view the roll down the 1,721 m runway.
Rolled from the start of the runway, drifted right of the centreline, 3.7 m at the widest, and lifted off 3.7 m right. Airborne 19 % of the way down the runway, before the 75 % line.
The roll from above, with your left at the top. The line is where the wheels went, and "widest" is the furthest you drifted off the centreline. Lifting off before the amber 75 % line gets full marks for the roll length.
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: sink rate more than 600 fpm beyond what the glideslope needed and glideslope more than 1° off the runway's 4°.
At the 500 ft gate: sink rate more than 600 fpm beyond what the glideslope needed, glideslope more than 1° off the runway's 4° and speed more than 15 kt above the approach speed of 98 kt.
When the approach was stable
Never every check met at once: left of the centreline until 3.7 nm, high until 0.8 nm, sinking too fast until 0.6 nm, fast from 2.9 nm to the threshold.
Each line is one of the gate checks, run along the whole final rather than only at the gates: green where it would have passed, amber where it would not. The glideslope, centreline and speed lines use the bands in the charts beside this card. The sink rate is allowed what the glideslope needs at your ground speed plus 600 fpm, the wings 10° of bank, and the gear and flap are read from when you moved the levers. The bottom line is green where every check held at once, ignoring blips shorter than 0.2 nm, and the sentence above it says from where it held to the threshold. A ring is a stabilisation gate, where the checks in the table were taken.
The final from 4 nm, with the stabilisation gates on it.
Profile height against the 4° glideslope, with its 1° band in green.
High from 4 nm to 0.8 nm (up to 1,400 ft over), then back on it to the threshold.
Your height above the runway against the distance still to go. The glideslope is the steady descent path to the aiming point, 305 m past the threshold: 4° here, which is about 420 ft for every nautical mile out, crossing the threshold at about 70 ft. The row under the distances is the height it puts you at. Inside the green band your path is drawn green; outside it, amber. A ring is a stabilisation gate: green when every check there passed, amber with the failed checks named beside it.
Plan distance off the extended centreline, your left at the top, with the 1° band. Sideways distances are drawn 3× larger than distances along the final.
Joined 272 m left of the centreline, then inside the band from 3.7 nm to the threshold.
Looking down from above, flying left to right towards the runway: up the page is left of the centreline, down is right. Sideways distances are stretched so that small drifts show, so a line that looks wild here may be only a few tens of feet. The labels are how far off you were at each distance, amber when outside the band.
Speed against the approach speed. The green band runs from 5 kt slow to 25 kt fast at the 1,000 ft gate, closing to 15 at 500 ft and 10 at the threshold.
Fast from 4 nm to 3.3 nm (up to +29 kt), then inside the band to 2.9 nm, then fast to the threshold (up to +27 kt).
Your indicated airspeed down the final, against the approach speed for this aircraft at its landing weight. The band allows 5 kt slow and more on the fast side further out, closing as you get lower, because the speed is expected to come off on the way down. The figures are knots above (+) or below (−) the approach speed.
Over the threshold
Touchdown
Good landing flare
Little crosswind (1 kt): nothing to correct for. Touched down straight, wings level.
Wind 270° at 1 kt · 0 kt head · 1 kt across
The wind is the one recorded at the landing, split along the runway (headwind or tailwind) and across it. To hold the centreline in a crosswind the nose points a little into wind - the crab - and is straightened with rudder just before the wheels touch, often with the into-wind wing lowered to stop the drift. These are the nose against the direction you were actually moving, and the wings, at the moment of touchdown. Shown for reading; not marked.
From 105 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 39 s, an average deceleration of 0.11 g.
Your ground speed from the moment the wheels touched until you were down to taxi speed, against the distance rolled. A steep line is hard braking, a shallow one a long, gentle roll. For scale, an airliner's lowest autobrake setting decelerates at about 0.15 g, a medium one about 0.3 g. Shown for reading; not marked.
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Crossed the threshold at 49 ft, close to the 50 ft target. Touched down 658 m in, 354 m past the ideal 305 m.
The last stretch of the approach and the touchdown, from the side. The height is stretched so that the last few feet show: 80 ft top to bottom, against 1,524 m across. The dashed line is the ideal, 50 ft over the threshold and down 305 m in. The flare ring is where you began raising the nose, and "descent slowed" is where the sink came off; the figures beside them are the sink rate, pitch and speed at that point.
Sink and pitch — through the flare, lined up with the side view.
The sink went from 680 fpm at 49 ft to 70 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 2.9° on the way down.
Lined up with the side view above, so a point on one sits under the same point of the other. On top, how fast you were coming down: 0 is level, and −600 is 600 ft a minute down. Below, the pitch. In a flare the nose comes up and the descent slows towards 0. The figure at the touchdown line is your touchdown rate.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,651 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 3.1 m left of the centreline, and stayed about there down the rollout, 3.5 m left at the widest.
The runway from above, with your left at the top. Touching down inside the green bracket scores full marks for the distance. The shaded part is the rollout, up to where it ended. The arrow beside the runway is the crosswind, pointing the way the air was moving, so it pushed the aircraft that way.
Touched down 658 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The 1.05 G arrival bounced.
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.
