Flight Score
Departure
Correct the drift with small rudder corrections against a point at the far end of the runway, holding the centreline through the roll.
What happened: The takeoff roll drifted 7.7 m off the centreline, and the aircraft held a bank angle of 2.8° through the first climb segment; drifting off centreline on the roll usually carries into a wandering heading through the second climb.
Watch for: Heading indicator: runway heading held steady through the climb.
Arrival
Keep the back pressure coming through the flare so the sink does not return at 191 fpm.
What happened: The flare arrested the sink, but then the sink returned before touchdown.
Watch for: Watch the VSI in the flare and keep arrested sink from returning before touchdown at 256 fpm.
See Arrival Landing
Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

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 1,000 ft gate: no landing flap set and off the centreline.
At the 500 ft gate: off the centreline.

Side view — the last 1,130 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,130 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 257 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 36 at Chambéry Savoie Mont Blanc Airport, LFLB. The Cessna Skyhawk took off with a takeoff distance of 232 meters, which accounted for 14% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 60 knots, and the aircraft climbed steadily into the sky.
As the aircraft climbed, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 20 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 11 knots at 29 degrees. The crosswind was 6 knots, and the headwind was 9 knots. The enroute climb started overhead Le Bourget-du-Lac, where the aircraft climbed from 1,434 feet above sea level to 5,249 feet above sea level, an increase of 3,815 feet in just 7 minutes, covering a distance of 10 nautical miles.
After reaching the desired altitude, the aircraft began its enroute descent overhead Saint-Felix. The descent from 5,133 feet above sea level to 2,355 feet above sea level resulted in a decrease of 2,778 feet in just 4 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 04 at Annecy Haute-Savoie Mont Blanc Airport, LFLP, was made from the southwest, heading 40.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and 851 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 04 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 255 meters, which was good considering the runway length of 1,130 meters. The touchdown speed was 43 knots, and the touchdown rate was -151 feet per minute, both of which were good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 19 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 7 knots at 10 degrees. The crosswind was 3 knots, and the headwind was 6 knots. The total landing distance was 953 meters, which accounted for 84% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating a smooth and controlled landing.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area from the runway in just 1 minute, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 20 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 18 minutes. The aircraft used 7 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Cessna Skyhawk successfully landed at LFLP Annecy Haute-Savoie Mont Blanc Airport, demonstrating a high level of proficiency in its pilot. The aircraft approached the runway from the southwest, heading 40.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 851 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 54 knots, which was slightly below the target threshold speed. However, this did not affect the overall performance of the landing, as the touchdown distance of 255 meters was considered good. The touchdown speed of 43 knots was also within acceptable limits, and the touchdown rate of -151 feet per minute (fpm) was good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 19°C and a gentle wind of 7 knots at 10°. The crosswind component was minimal at 3 knots, while the headwind component was 6 knots, which helped to stabilize the aircraft during the approach and landing.
The total landing distance of 953 meters was 84% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft had sufficient stopping power and control to bring it to a safe stop within the available runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the critical phase of the landing.
Overall, the Cessna Skyhawk's landing at LFLP Annecy Haute-Savoie Mont Blanc Airport was a success, with the aircraft performing well in terms of speed, distance, and control. The pilot's skills and experience were evident throughout the approach and landing, and the aircraft's performance was consistent with its design and capabilities.
