Flight Score
Departure
Roll the wings level with aileron and hold bank within limits as you establish the climb.
What happened: Bank increased to 1.9° during the initial climb, and wings stayed over-banked at 3.5° into the next climb segment.
Watch for: Attitude indicator bank angle, aiming to keep it near wings-level
Arrival
Make one smooth continuous pitch input through the flare rather than chasing the runway with the elevator.
What happened: The flare was pumped, with pitch reversing direction several times on the way down instead of one smooth input.
Watch for: Watch the pitch attitude trend through the flare, aiming for a single steady rise through 5.9° with no reversals.
See Arrival Landing
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.

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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: off the centreline.
At the 500 ft gate: off the centreline.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,708 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 585 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 36 at Chambéry Savoie Mont Blanc Airport, LFLB. The aircraft, a Piper PA-24-250 Comanche, took off with a takeoff distance of 270 meters, which was 16% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 72 knots, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 33 degrees Celsius and a wind of 7 knots at 10 degrees.
As the aircraft climbed, it started its enroute climb overhead Le Bourget-du-Lac, Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes, France. The climb from 1,771 feet above sea level to 5,675 feet above sea level, an increase of 3,905 feet, was achieved in 4 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, which lasted 5 minutes and covered 10 nautical miles, starting overhead Saint-Jean-de-Chevelu.
The enroute climb phase resumed 1 mile north of Les Avenieres, with the aircraft climbing from 5,050 feet above sea level to 6,414 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,364 feet, in 3 minutes and covering 5 nautical miles. The level cruise phase continued, lasting 8 minutes and covering 14 nautical miles, starting overhead Vasselin.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its descent 1 mile south east of Diemoz, Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes, France. The descent from 6,287 feet above sea level to 2,380 feet above sea level, a decrease of 3,907 feet, was achieved in 2 minutes and covered a distance of 5 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 35R at Lyon Saint-Exupéry Airport, LFLL, was made from the south, heading 355.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,571 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 35R, which had a length of 2,708 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was well above the target at 78 knots.
The touchdown point was 241 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 55 knots, which was good. However, the touchdown rate was fair at -241 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.2 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 35 degrees Celsius and a wind of 1 knot at 303 degrees.
The total landing distance was 990 meters, which was 37% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 14.8 meters from the centerline. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking 2 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 44 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 29 minutes. The aircraft used 19 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Piper PA-24-250 Comanche aircraft successfully landed at LFLL Lyon Saint-Exupéry Airport, achieving an overall score of 85.8%. The final approach to runway 35R was initiated from the south, with the aircraft heading 355.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,571 feet above ground level.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway, with the threshold height being satisfactory. However, the threshold speed was above the target speed, registering at 78 knots. The touchdown point was located 241 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which may indicate a slight deviation from the intended landing path.
The touchdown speed of 55 knots was considered good, indicating a controlled descent. Nevertheless, the touchdown rate of -241 feet per minute was only fair, suggesting that the aircraft could have been brought down more smoothly. Additionally, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 6.2 meters, which may have contributed to the deviation from the intended landing path.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 35°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from 303°. The crosswind and headwind components were both negligible, at 1 knot each. The total landing distance of 990 meters was 37% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight.
During the rollout, the aircraft's alignment was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 14.8 meters, which may indicate a slight deviation from the intended path. Overall, the landing was considered satisfactory, with some minor deviations from the ideal landing parameters.
