Maintain the centreline
A small uncorrected heading error at 40 knots becomes a metre of offset per second by 100 knots, noticed only at rotation, producing a crabbed liftoff. Root cause is nearly always eyes on the tape instead of the far end of the runway. Small heading changes displace a distant point visibly long before the nearby centreline stripes look wrong.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: five 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.
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 415 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in the Beechcraft King Air 350A began with a smooth taxi from the parking area to the runway at LECH Castellón-Costa Azahar Airport, covering a distance of less than 1 nm in just 4 minutes. The departure roll on runway 06 was swift, with a takeoff distance of 615 m, which accounted for 23% of the runway length. The liftoff speed reached 107 kn, with a slight crosswind of 8 kn and a headwind of 2 kn. The local weather at the time of departure was favorable, with a temperature of 20 °C and a gentle wind of 9 kn at 340 °.
The enroute climb began 1 mile northeast of the airport, ascending from 2,185 ft asl to 26,743 ft asl in just 13 minutes, covering 33 nm. The subsequent level cruise phase lasted for 60 minutes and covered a distance of 293 nm, providing a smooth and comfortable journey.
The descent phase started over Chanteuges in France, bringing the aircraft down from 26,302 ft asl to 9,696 ft asl in 20 minutes and covering 90 nm. The following level cruise segment lasted for 2 minutes before another descent began over Saint-Germain-les-Paroisses, dropping from 9,184 ft asl to 7,404 ft asl in 2 minutes and covering 7 nm.
The final approach to runway 18 at LFLB Chambéry Savoie Mont Blanc Airport was executed flawlessly from the north, with a good threshold height and speed. The landing itself was smooth, touching down after a distance of 415 m at a slightly fast speed of 92 kn. However, the touchdown rate was excellent at -97 ft/m, and the alignment on the runway was perfect.
The total landing distance was 568 m, accounting for 34% of the runway length, with a seamless rollout alignment. The flight concluded with a quick taxi from the runway to the parking area, covering less than 1 nm in just 2 minutes.
Overall, the flight in the Beechcraft King Air 350A covered a total distance of 457 nm, taking 113 minutes and utilizing 607 kg of fuel. The journey was smooth, with efficient ascents, descents, and level cruises, and a successful landing at the destination airport.
Congratulations on achieving an impressive aircraft landing score of 99.8%! This outstanding result is a testament to the pilot's skill and precision throughout all phases of the landing process.
