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 1,531 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,531 m of the 1,651 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 241 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 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Piper PA-24-250 Comanche, then departed from runway 22 at LFLP Annecy Haute-Savoie Mont Blanc Airport. The takeoff distance was 566 meters, which was 50% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 88 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 16°C, with no wind at all. The aircraft climbed to an altitude of 3,954 feet above sea level, increasing its altitude by 1,467 feet in just 1 minute and covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. This enroute climb started overhead Meythet, a location in the Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes region of France.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 4 minutes and covered a distance of 7 nautical miles. This cruise phase started overhead Chavanod, another location in the Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes region. The aircraft then began its descent, which started 1 mile south of Massingy. The descent was from an altitude of 4,107 feet above sea level to 1,798 feet above sea level, a decrease of 2,308 feet in 3 minutes and covering a distance of 6 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 18 at LFLB Chambéry Savoie Mont Blanc Airport was made from the north, heading 178.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,011 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 18 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 239 meters, which was good. However, the touchdown speed was a little fast at 55 knots. The touchdown rate was perfect at -44 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was also perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were the same as at the time of departure, with a temperature of 16°C and no wind. The total landing distance was 1,425 meters, which was 86% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking area took 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
In total, the flight distance was 21 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 15 minutes. The aircraft used 9 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Piper PA-24-250 Comanche successfully landed at LFLB Chambéry Savoie Mont Blanc Airport, achieving a score of 93.6%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north, heading 178.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,011 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a precise final approach, aligning perfectly with the runway threshold.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was slightly below the target threshold speed of 62 knots, which is a desirable outcome. The touchdown distance of 239 meters was also within acceptable limits, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. However, the touchdown speed of 55 knots was slightly faster than desired, which may have resulted in a slightly higher rate of descent.
The rate of descent at touchdown was -44 feet per minute (fpm), which is considered perfect. This indicates that the pilot maintained a stable and controlled approach, avoiding any excessive sink rates that could have compromised the safety of the landing. The runway touchdown alignment was also perfect, demonstrating the pilot's skill and attention to detail.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 16°C and a wind speed of 0 knots from 360°. This meant that there was no crosswind or headwind to contend with, making the landing even more challenging. The total landing distance of 1,425 meters was 86% of the runway length, which is a respectable achievement.
During the rollout, the aircraft maintained a very good alignment with the runway, indicating that the pilot had successfully transitioned from the landing phase to the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was executed with precision and control, earning the pilot a high score of 93.6%.
