Flight Score
Departure
Use small, coordinated rudder and aileron inputs to hold your assigned climb heading as soon as drift begins.
What happened: During the second climb segment, you let the aircraft drift off the assigned heading.
Watch for: Heading indicator: steady on the assigned climb heading
Arrival
Apply less back pressure in the flare, easing it in more slowly instead of arresting the sink sharply at 23 ft.
What happened: The flare arrested the sink at 23 ft, ballooning the aircraft before 228 fpm of sink rate returned as it settled back toward the runway.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: hold a steady, continuous descent through the normal flare band.
See Arrival Landing
Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without it.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: seven checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
At the 500 ft gate: no landing flap set, sink rate above what the glideslope needed, off the runway's 4.5° glideslope and speed above the reference speed.
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.
Touched down 617 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 04 at LFLP Annecy Haute-Savoie Mont Blanc Airport, where the aircraft, a Piper PA-24-250 Comanche, took off with a takeoff distance of 333 meters, which is 30% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 82 knots.
As the aircraft climbed, it started its enroute climb overhead Metz-Tessy, Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes, France, reaching an altitude of 4,837 feet above sea level from an initial 2,155 feet. This climb of 2,682 feet was achieved in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles. The aircraft then leveled off and cruised for 2 minutes, covering another 4 nautical miles, before starting its descent from 5,259 feet to 3,348 feet in 2 minutes, also covering 4 nautical miles.
The aircraft continued its enroute level cruise, this time over Chindrieux, Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes, France, lasting for 2 minutes and covering 3 nautical miles. It then began another climb, this time from 2,857 feet to 2,560 feet in 3 minutes, covering 6 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 18 at LFLB Chambéry Savoie Mont Blanc Airport was made from the north, heading 169.0 degrees at 2 nautical miles and 1,750 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 18 was successful, with the touchdown point being 177 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 57 knots, which was good, and the touchdown rate was also good at -194 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.7 meters from the centerline. The total landing distance was 1,351 meters, which is 82% of the runway.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area from the runway in just 1 minute, covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 24 nautical miles, taking 14 minutes, and the aircraft used 11 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 86.6%. The final approach to runway 18 was initiated from the north, with a heading of 169.0° at a distance of 2 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,750 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down 177 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is slightly off-center. However, the touchdown speed of 57 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -194 feet per minute (fpm) was also satisfactory. The threshold height at 60 feet agl was slightly above the target, while the threshold speed was well above the target at 76 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 16°C. The total landing distance of 1,351 meters was 82% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll. Notably, the runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilot maintained control and stability during the landing roll.
While there were some minor deviations from the target parameters, the overall performance of the aircraft and the pilot during the landing was satisfactory, resulting in an 86.6% score.
