Flight Score
Departure
Ease the yoke smoothly to hold a steady one g through the ground roll instead of letting it sag to 0.4 g.
What happened: During the ground roll the g force averaged 0.4 g, well below the smooth steady load expected while tracking the runway.
Watch for: Watch the g meter and hold it steady near one g through the roll.
See Departure Roll
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 seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
At the 500 ft gate: off the centreline.

Plan view — the full 1,130 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 191 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking area to the runway, which took 13 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Piper PA-24-250 Comanche, then departed from runway 36 at Chambéry Savoie Mont Blanc Airport (LFLB). The takeoff distance was 257 meters, which accounted for 16% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 71 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 27 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 5 knots at a direction of 30 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 4 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead Le Bourget-du-Lac in Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes, France. The climb took 3 minutes and covered a distance of 5 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from 1,758 feet above sea level to 4,512 feet above sea level, an increase of 2,754 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 1 mile north of Brison-Saint-Innocent in Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes, France. This phase lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. The enroute descent then began, starting overhead Albens in Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes, France. The descent took 3 minutes and covered a distance of 7 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from 4,657 feet above sea level to 3,277 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,380 feet.
The final approach to runway 04 at Annecy Haute-Savoie Mont Blanc Airport (LFLP) was made from the southwest, heading 37.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,774 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 04, which had a length of 1,130 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 74 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 190 meters, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 67 knots. The touchdown rate was good at -175 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.1 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 30 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 2 knots at a direction of 242 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a tailwind of 2 knots. The total landing distance was 739 meters, which accounted for 65% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking area took 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 23 nautical miles, and the flight used 10 kilograms of fuel.
The Piper PA-24-250 Comanche successfully landed at LFLP Annecy Haute-Savoie Mont Blanc Airport, achieving a score of 97.2%. The aircraft approached the runway from the southwest, heading 37.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,774 feet above ground level.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 74 knots, which was slightly above the target threshold speed. However, the touchdown distance of 190 meters was considered good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown speed of 67 knots was a little fast, but the touchdown rate of -175 feet per minute was within acceptable limits.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 3.1 meters, which may have been due to factors such as wind or pilot error. However, the local weather conditions were relatively calm, with a temperature of 30°C and a wind speed of 2 knots from 242°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, and the tailwind component was 2 knots, which may have contributed to the slight misalignment.
The total landing distance of 739 meters was 65% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, suggesting that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the landing roll and was able to bring it to a stop safely and efficiently. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the pilot demonstrating good control and judgment throughout the approach and landing phases.
