Departure
Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.
What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 12°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
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.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
At the 500 ft gate: off the runway's 4.5° glideslope and 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 1,651 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 186 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 18 at LFLB Chambéry Savoie Mont Blanc Airport, where the aircraft, a Cessna Citation X with the registration N750VY Black, took off with a takeoff distance of 0 meters, representing 0% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 0 knots, indicating a smooth and efficient takeoff.
As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 3 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 13 knots at 11 degrees. The crosswind component was 3 knots, while the tailwind component was 13 knots, which may have affected the aircraft's performance during the flight.
The enroute climb started overhead Voglans, where the aircraft climbed from an altitude of 2,709 feet above sea level to 3,880 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,171 feet in just 1 minute, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. This rapid climb was followed by a level cruise that lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles, as the aircraft flew over Drumettaz.
The enroute descent began 1 mile south of Saint-Germain-la-Chambotte, where the aircraft descended from an altitude of 3,903 feet above sea level to 2,537 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,366 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 18 at LFLB Chambéry Savoie Mont Blanc Airport was made from the north, heading 186.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,761 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 18 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 187 meters, which was good, and a touchdown speed of 120 knots, also good. The touchdown rate was fair at -244 feet per minute, but the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions during the landing were similar to those encountered during the takeoff, with a temperature of 3 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 11 knots at 9 degrees.
The total landing distance was 1,276 meters, representing 77% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating a smooth and controlled landing. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in less than 1 minute, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 15 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 8 minutes. The aircraft used 116 kilograms of fuel during the flight, indicating an efficient use of resources. Overall, the flight was successful, with a smooth and controlled takeoff, climb, cruise, descent, and landing.
The Cessna Citation X, registration N750VY Black, successfully landed at LFLB Chambéry Savoie Mont Blanc Airport, achieving a high score of 98.2%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north, heading 186.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,761 feet above ground level (agl).
The pilot executed a precise final approach, taking into account the local weather conditions. The temperature was 3°C, and the wind was blowing at 11 knots from a direction of 9°. This resulted in a crosswind of 3 knots and a tailwind of 11 knots. Despite these conditions, the pilot maintained good control of the aircraft, ensuring a smooth touchdown.
The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 124 knots. The touchdown distance was within acceptable limits at 187 meters, and the touchdown speed was maintained at 120 knots. However, the touchdown rate was slightly higher than ideal at -244 feet per minute (fpm), which could be considered fair.
The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot had successfully aligned the aircraft with the runway centerline. The total landing distance was 1,276 meters, which is 77% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, considering the aircraft's size and weight.
During the rollout, the pilot maintained excellent control, ensuring that the aircraft remained aligned with the runway centerline. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating a smooth and controlled deceleration of the aircraft.
Overall, the landing was executed with precision and control, despite the challenging weather conditions. The pilot's skills and experience were evident in the high score achieved, and the aircraft was brought to a safe stop within a short distance of the runway threshold.
