Departure
On the roll, make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline within 13 m.
What happened: The takeoff roll drifted off the centreline by 13 m, and excess bank then carried through all three climb segments. A drifted roll like this usually leads into wandering bank angle through the climb.
Watch for: Watch the heading indicator and runway centreline during the roll, and the attitude indicator for wings level through the climb.

Below a thousand feet the aeroplane is slow, heavy and close to the ground. A steep turn loses lift, raises the stall speed and flattens the climb just when the gradient matters most. A normal turn on course is a rate one — fifteen degrees or so, twenty-five at the outside, this penalty is to acknowledge when a turn has stopped being a turn and become a manoeuvre.

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.

Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,651 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 474 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 04 at LFLJ Courchevel Altiport, a small airfield in the French Alps. The SR22 aircraft took off with a takeoff distance of 117 meters, which accounted for 21% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 87 knots, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 3°C and a gentle wind of 6 knots from 107 degrees.
As the aircraft climbed away from Courchevel, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead the town. The climb was steep, with an increase of 373 feet in just one minute, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft then leveled off and entered a cruise phase, which lasted for two minutes and covered 4 nautical miles. This initial cruise phase took place 1 mile northwest of Saint-Bon-Tarentaise.
The aircraft then began its descent from the cruise altitude, starting overhead Moutiers. The descent was significant, with a decrease of 2,942 feet in just three minutes, covering a distance of 9 nautical miles. The aircraft then leveled off again, this time overhead La Bathie, and entered another cruise phase that lasted for five minutes and covered 13 nautical miles.
The aircraft continued to descend and level off several times, with each descent phase being followed by a cruise phase. The final descent phase started overhead Chateauneuf, where the aircraft descended from 3,407 feet to 2,881 feet in just two minutes, covering 4 nautical miles. The aircraft then leveled off again, this time overhead Montmelian, and entered a short cruise phase that lasted for two minutes and covered 4 nautical miles.
The final descent phase started overhead Saint-Jeoire-Prieure, where the aircraft descended from 2,881 feet to 1,887 feet in just two minutes, covering 5 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 36 at LFLB Chambéry Savoie Mont Blanc Airport, which was located to the south.
The approach was made with a heading of 358.0 degrees, and the aircraft was at an altitude of 1,110 feet above ground level when it was 3 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was smooth, with a touchdown speed of 65 knots and a touchdown rate of -32 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the aircraft landed on the threshold with a good threshold height.
The total landing distance was 1,004 meters, which accounted for 61% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, and the aircraft came to a stop without any issues. The total flight distance was 45 nautical miles, and the flight used 13 kilograms of fuel. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 4°C and a wind of 10 knots from 20 degrees.
The SR22 aircraft successfully landed at Chambéry Savoie Mont Blanc Airport, with a final approach from the south. The aircraft was at an altitude of 1,110 feet above ground level (agl) and 3 nautical miles from the runway when it began its descent. The pilot maintained a heading of 358.0°, which is aligned with the runway, indicating a precise approach.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway threshold at a speed of 79 knots, which is within the acceptable range. The touchdown distance of 473 meters was also satisfactory, indicating that the pilot had sufficient control over the aircraft during the landing. The touchdown speed of 65 knots was also within the acceptable range, and the rate of descent at touchdown was a perfect -32 feet per minute, demonstrating excellent control and precision.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 4°C and a wind speed of 10 knots from a direction of 20°. This resulted in a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 9 knots, which the pilot effectively managed during the landing. The total landing distance of 1,004 meters was 61% of the runway length, indicating that the pilot had sufficient control over the aircraft during the landing roll.
The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot had maintained control over the aircraft during the landing roll and had aligned it with the runway centerline. Overall, the landing was a success, with the pilot demonstrating excellent control and precision throughout the approach, landing, and rollout phases.
