Improve the rollout
Ground control varies with speed, full authority at walking pace, progressively reducing as groundspeed rises. The aircraft becomes twitchy at any speed, every small pedal input swings the nose, which can encourage large-amplitude leg inputs that no real aircraft would accept.

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 1,530 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,530 m of the 1,651 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 269 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in the Beechcraft Baron G58 began with a smooth taxi from the parking area to the runway at LFKA Albertville General Pierre Delachenal Airfield, taking just 1 minute to cover less than 1 nm. The departure roll on runway 23 was efficient, with the aircraft using 63% of the runway for a takeoff distance of 437 meters. The liftoff speed was 84 knots, and the local weather at the time indicated a temperature of 15°C with a 10 knot wind at 11°, creating a crosswind of 7 knots and a tailwind of 8 knots.
Once airborne, the enroute climb started over Sainte-Helene-sur-Isere in Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes, France. The aircraft climbed from 2,017 feet asl to 3,862 feet asl, covering 4 nm and gaining 1,845 feet in just 2 minutes. The following level cruise segment, starting overhead Bourgneuf, lasted 2 minutes and covered 7 nm. Another climb segment began over Planaise, climbing from 3,874 feet asl to 4,649 feet asl in 2 minutes, covering 5 nm.
The descent portion of the flight started overhead Apremont, descending from 4,586 feet asl to 2,739 feet asl, a decrease of 1,847 feet over 4 nm in 2 minutes. The journey continued with a landing on runway 36 at LFLB Chambéry Savoie Mont Blanc Airport, with a runway length of 1,651 meters. The aircraft approached with a height of 33 feet agl and a speed of 74 knots at the threshold. The touchdown occurred 268 meters from the threshold at a speed of 62 knots and a VSI of -146 ft/m. The local weather conditions at landing included a temperature of 15°C and a 10 knot wind at 11°, resulting in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 10 knots. The total landing distance was 1,424 meters, using 86% of the runway.
After landing, the aircraft taxied back to the parking area from the runway in just 1 minute, covering less than 1 nm. The entire flight covered a total distance of 27 nm, taking 21 minutes to complete and consuming 9 kg of fuel.
Let's delve into the analysis of the aircraft landing score of 81.0%. Overall, the landing had some positive aspects, as well as areas that could use improvement.
Starting with the Approach Phase, it is worth noting that the glideslope alignment was excellent, indicating that the descent of the aircraft towards the runway was well managed. However, the poor heading alignment suggests that there may have been some lateral deviation from the intended flight path. Additionally, while the speed was slightly below target, it is important to ensure that the aircraft maintains the appropriate speed for a safe landing.
Moving on to the Landing Phase, the good threshold height and perfect landing flare are commendable. These factors contribute to a smooth and controlled touchdown. However, the poor landing heading indicates that there may have been some difficulty in aligning the aircraft with the runway upon touchdown. This is an important aspect to focus on for future landings.
In the Touchdown Phase, the smooth touchdown rate and on-target speed are positive indicators of a well-executed landing. The fact that the touchdown distance was inside the touchdown zone is also favorable, as it demonstrates precision in the landing. However, the runway touchdown position being 4.0m from the centerline suggests some lateral deviation that should be addressed for more consistent landings.
Finally, in the Rollout Phase, the runway alignment being 219.0m from the centerline indicates that there was some lateral drift during the rollout after landing. It is crucial to ensure proper alignment with the runway centerline to facilitate a safe and efficient rollout.
Overall, while the landing score of 81.0% reflects a landing that had both strengths and areas for improvement, it is important to focus on consistently maintaining proper heading alignment, runway alignment, and touchdown position to enhance the safety and precision of future landings. By addressing these areas, you can continue to refine your landing skills and strive for even better scores in the future. Keep up the good work and continue to fine-tune your landing techniques for continued improvement.
