Flight Score
Departure
On the roll, make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline within 8.6 m.
What happened: The takeoff roll drifted off the centreline by 8.6 m, and excess bank then carried through all three climb segments. A drifted roll like this usually leads into wandering bank angle through the climb.
Watch for: Watch the heading indicator and runway centreline during the roll, and the attitude indicator for wings level through the climb.

Arrival
Start the flare with progressive back pressure and keep it coming until the sink is arrested.
What happened: The aircraft was flown onto the runway: the nose was barely raised and little of the sink was taken out, touching down at 317 fpm.
Watch for: Pitch attitude: rising steadily through the flare until the sink is checked.
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.
One stabilised approach gate: seven 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.
At the 500 ft gate: sink rate above what the glideslope needed and off the runway's 3° glideslope.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,219 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,219 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 84 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 approximately 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Piper PA-24-250 Comanche, then departed from runway 36 at Chambéry Savoie Mont Blanc Airport (LFLB). The takeoff distance was 222 meters, which accounted for 13% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 74 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 15°C, with a wind speed of 10 knots at an angle of 11°. This resulted in a 2-knot crosswind and a 10-knot headwind. The aircraft began its enroute climb overhead Le Bourget-du-Lac, ascending from 1,794 feet above sea level to 6,592 feet above sea level, a total increase of 4,798 feet in 5 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started overhead Meyrieux-Trouet and lasted for 13 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 27 nautical miles. The descent from 5,505 feet above sea level to 1,871 feet above sea level began overhead La Verpilliere, with a decrease of 3,635 feet in 4 minutes, covering a distance of 9 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 34 at Lyon Bron Airport (LFLY) was made from the south, with a heading of 341.0° at 1 nautical mile and 1,175 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 34 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 82 meters, which was good. The touchdown speed was 52 knots, and the touchdown rate was fair at -210 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were similar to those at the time of departure, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 10 knots at an angle of 11°. This resulted in a 5-knot crosswind and a 9-knot headwind. The total landing distance was 346 meters, which accounted for 28% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking area took approximately 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 43 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 28 minutes. The aircraft used 20 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Piper PA-24-250 Comanche successfully landed at LFLY Lyon Bron Airport, achieving a score of 93.8%. The aircraft approached the runway from the south, heading 341.0° at 1 nautical mile and 1,175 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 59 knots, registering at 52 knots. However, this did not significantly impact the overall performance of the landing. The touchdown distance of 82 meters was considered good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown rate of -210 feet per minute (fpm) was fair, suggesting a moderate rate of descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a moderate headwind of 9 knots. The crosswind component was minimal at 5 knots, which contributed to the aircraft's stable approach and touchdown. The runway length of 1,219 meters was sufficient for the aircraft to come to a stop, with a total landing distance of 346 meters, which accounted for only 28% of the available runway.
The runway rollout alignment was exceptional, demonstrating the pilot's skill and control during the landing phase. Overall, the landing was executed with precision and control, resulting in a high score of 93.8%.
