Flight Score
Departure
Level the wings with coordinated aileron to hold 4.8° of bank out of the climb.
What happened: The pilot held 4.8° of bank during the climb out, and excess bank like this usually carries a heading drift into the next climb segment.
Watch for: Attitude indicator and heading bug, keeping bank near wings level so heading holds steady.
Twenty knots on a monitor produces the visual sensation of about ten. The advice to "taxi at a walking pace" cannot fix this, because your sense of walking pace is exactly the thing that's broken. Put the groundspeed readout in your scan and obey it for the next fifty flights, the way a student pilot leans on the airspeed indicator before learning to read attitude.

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.
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.
The 202 m 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 area to the runway, which took 7 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Piper PA-24-250 Comanche, then departed from runway 22 at LFLP Annecy Haute-Savoie Mont Blanc Airport. The takeoff distance was 297 meters, which accounted for 26% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 64 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 36 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 11 knots from a direction of 320 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 11 knots and a tailwind of 2 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead Meythet in the Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes region of France. The climb took 3 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 2,465 feet above sea level to 5,165 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started overhead Marcellaz-Albanais and lasted for 2 minutes. This phase covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting overhead Moye. The descent took 5 minutes and covered a distance of 10 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from an altitude of 4,918 feet above sea level to 2,569 feet.
The final approach to runway 18 at LFLB Chambéry Savoie Mont Blanc Airport was made from the north, with the aircraft heading 176.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,786 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 18, which had a length of 1,651 meters. The threshold height was good, but the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 73 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 201 meters, but the touchdown speed of 72 knots was slightly fast. The touchdown rate was hard at -429 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 3.3 meters. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 35 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 10 knots from a direction of 40 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 7 knots and a tailwind of 7 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,309 meters, which accounted for 79% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 10.1 meters. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking area took 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 25 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 14 minutes. The aircraft used 10 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Piper PA-24-250 Comanche aircraft successfully landed at LFLB Chambéry Savoie Mont Blanc Airport, achieving an overall score of 88.6%. The final approach to runway 18 was initiated from the north, with a heading of 176.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,786 feet above ground level.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 72 kt, which was slightly above the target threshold speed of 73 kt. The touchdown distance of 201 meters was considered good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. However, the touchdown speed was fast, and the touchdown rate was hard at -429 feet per minute, suggesting a slightly aggressive approach.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 3.3 meters, which may have been due to factors such as wind or pilot error. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 35°C and a wind speed of 10 kt at 40°, resulting in a crosswind of 7 kt and a tailwind of 7 kt.
The total landing distance of 1,309 meters was 79% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll. However, the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned from the centreline by 10.1 meters, which may have been due to the same factors that affected the initial touchdown position.
Overall, while the landing was successful, there were some areas for improvement, particularly in terms of touchdown speed and rate, as well as alignment during the rollout phase.
