Flight Score
Departure
Use smoother, smaller aileron inputs to keep the wings level and hold bank angle near wings-level during the climb.
What happened: During the climb, bank angle rose to 19°, more roll than the climb out called for.
Watch for: Attitude indicator: wings level during the climb
Arrival
Fly a steeper descent on final so you cross the threshold at 50 ft.
What happened: You crossed the threshold at 102 ft agl, above the 50 ft agl target. Crossing high like this usually reduces your margin before the touchdown zone ends.
Watch for: Radio altimeter against 50 ft at the threshold.
See Arrival Landing
Even a modest height error carries straight through to the touchdown. Geometry alone says that crossing the threshold 10 feet high on a 3° path moves your touchdown roughly 190 feet further down the runway before the flare adds anything.

The roll
Liftoff and climb
Plan view the roll down the 1,101 m runway.
Rolled from 59 m in, never more than 0.7 m off the centreline. Airborne 54 % 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.
Side view from the start of the roll to 137 ft.
Reached 35 ft with 291 m of runway left; then climbing at 760 fpm on average to 137 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 dark stretch of the roll is the run with the nose up and the wheels still on, with its length and time under the runway.
Speed and pitch from brake release to the end of the climb, against time.
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 dashed green line is the speed to rotate at for this aircraft at its weight, and the green dot is where the nose started to come up. The grey band is the run between the nose coming up and the wheels leaving the runway. The figures at liftoff are the pitch then and how fast the nose came up, in degrees a second. The grey dashed line across the pitch is the attitude held from 35 ft to the end: a nose held steady is a climb speed that holds, and the airspeed trace sits directly above it to compare.
Over the threshold
The flare strayed well off the target profile
Crossing the threshold 29 kt above target, the flare ballooned 9 ft agl back up from 38 ft agl above the runway, -237 m in. Touchdown was 98 m past the threshold. Hold the attitude and let it settle rather than pushing - that excess speed is what turns a normal flare into a balloon, so the fix is on the approach, not in the flare.
Touchdown
Side view — the last 1,101 m of the approach.
Began the flare at 40 ft, 249 m before the threshold; crossed the threshold at 101 ft, 51 ft above the 50 ft target; ballooned 9 ft from 38 ft. Touched down 98 m in, 207 m short of 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 1,101 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 960 fpm at the flare to 440 fpm at 24 ft, then back up to 620 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 6.5° on the way down. Into the flare at 94 kt, 15 kt over the 79 kt approach speed, and 79 kt at touchdown.
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 full 1,101 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 11 m right of the centreline. Calm: nothing to correct for. Touched down with the nose 3° left of the track, 5.8° of bank.
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 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. The sentence gives the nose against the direction you were actually moving as the wheels touched, and the steepest bank as they touched, the figure the touchdown's Bank tile marks. The rest of it is shown for reading, not marked.
The 98 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The 1.81 G arrival bounced.
The rest of the report
The Lancair Legacy taxied from the parking area to the runway for 4 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
Takeoff was made from runway 12 at LFLI Annemasse Airfield. The take-off roll used 621 m, which is 56 % of the runway. Rotation occurred at 74 kt. Local weather was temperature 11 °C, wind 1 kt from 346°, with a 1 kt crosswind and a 1 kt tailwind.
During the initial climb the aircraft reached 400 ft agl in 9 seconds, averaging 871 fpm and attaining 105 kt at the top of the climb. It then leveled at 1 700 ft asl for about 1 minute, covering 3 nm and passing overhead Cranves-Sales.
A go-around was executed on runway 12 at LFLI Annemasse Airfield when the aircraft was 41 ft agl.
On the subsequent approach the aircraft landed on runway 12 at LFLI Annemasse Airfield, whose length is 1 101 m. The threshold height at 102 ft agl was noted as excessively over target, and the threshold speed was excessively high at 108 kt. The flare was described as very poor; the aircraft ballooned in the flare. Touchdown occurred 98 m down the runway, with a speed of 79 kt, a little fast, and a heavy rate of -619 fpm. The touchdown point was misaligned by 12.5 m from the centreline. One bounce occurred after touchdown. Local weather at landing was temperature 11 °C, wind 1 kt from 346°, with a 1 kt crosswind and no headwind.
The total flight covered 9 nm, lasted 6 minutes and consumed 4 kg of fuel.
