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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
Side view — the last 545 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 545 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 104 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, where the aircraft, a Mudry Cap 10 C, successfully took off after covering a distance of 73 meters, which accounted for 13% of the runway. The liftoff speed was recorded at 52 knots. At the time of takeoff, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 4°C and a wind speed of 5 knots from a direction of 123°, resulting in a crosswind of 5 knots and a headwind of 1 knot.
As the aircraft climbed, it began its enroute climb overhead Courchevel, Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes, France, and continued to ascend from an initial altitude of 6,622 feet above sea level to 9,236 feet above sea level, a total increase of 2,613 feet in just 5 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles. Following this climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles, starting 1 mile southwest of Macot-la-Plagne, Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes, France.
The enroute descent phase began 1 mile east of Hautecour la Basse, Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes, France, where the aircraft descended from an altitude of 8,811 feet above sea level to 6,504 feet above sea level, a decrease of 2,306 feet in 4 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 22 at LFLJ Courchevel Altiport was initiated from the north-east, with the aircraft heading 219.0° at an altitude of 14 feet above ground level and 1 nautical mile from the runway.
The landing on runway 22 was successful, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 51 knots and a touchdown distance of 102 meters, which was 42% of the runway length. The touchdown rate was perfect at 609 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.0 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 3°C and a wind speed of 6 knots from a direction of 125°, resulting in a crosswind of 6 knots and a tailwind of 1 knot.
Following the landing, the aircraft underwent a rollout, during which it was slightly misaligned by 9.5 meters from the centerline. The total landing distance was 226 meters, and the total flight distance was 17 nautical miles, which was completed in 12 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 6 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The aircraft in question, a Mudry Cap 10 C, successfully landed at LFLJ Courchevel Altiport with a score of 94.7%. The final approach to runway 22 was initiated from the north east, heading 219.0° at a distance of 1 nautical mile and an altitude of 14 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot demonstrated good control and precision throughout the approach, ultimately landing safely on the runway.
The threshold height was satisfactory, and the threshold speed of 59 knots was also within acceptable limits. The touchdown distance of 102 meters was well within the runway's length of 545 meters, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown speed of 51 knots was also good, and the touchdown rate of 609 feet per minute (fpm) was perfect, signifying a gentle and stable landing.
However, there were some minor deviations from the ideal landing. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.0 meters from the centerline, and the runway rollout alignment was also slightly off by 9.5 meters from the centerline. These deviations were relatively minor and did not significantly impact the overall safety or quality of the landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 3°C and a wind speed of 6 knots from a direction of 125°. This resulted in a crosswind of 6 knots and a tailwind of 1 knot, which the pilot effectively managed during the landing. The total landing distance of 226 meters was 42% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short and efficient landing.
Overall, the pilot demonstrated good skills and control during the landing, and the aircraft performed well under the given conditions. While there were some minor deviations from the ideal landing, the overall score of 94.7% reflects a high level of proficiency and safety.
