Departure
Roll the wings level with aileron and hold bank within limits as you establish the climb.
What happened: Bank increased to 1.6° during the initial climb, and wings stayed over-banked at 4.8° into the next climb segment.
Watch for: Attitude indicator bank angle, aiming to keep it near wings-level
When Vr arrives, an abrupt near-full-scale pull, pitch overshoots, a push, and an oscillation through the first 200 ft. It feels like “this aircraft is twitchy” but the actual fault happened before liftoff. The pitch trace needs to show a clean ramp during liftoff.

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: no landing flap set, sink rate above what the glideslope needed and off the runway's 3.5° glideslope.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,891 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 465 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight took place in a Piper PA-24-250 Comanche aircraft. Taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Innsbruck Airport (LOWI) was a swift process, taking less than a minute and covering a distance of less than a nautical mile. The departure roll began on runway 26, with the aircraft taking off from a distance of 412 meters, which accounted for 22% of the runway's length. The liftoff speed was 72 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 10 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 6 knots blowing from a direction of 200 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 5 knots and a headwind of 3 knots. The aircraft began its enroute climb approximately 1 mile northeast of Birgitz, in the Tirol region of Austria. The climb took place from an altitude of 2,590 feet above sea level to 5,344 feet, an increase of 2,755 feet, in just 4 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started overhead the town of Thaur. This phase lasted for 5 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. The descent phase began overhead Volders, with the aircraft descending from an altitude of 5,696 feet to 3,705 feet, a decrease of 1,991 feet, in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 26 at LOWI Innsbruck Airport was made from the east, with the aircraft heading in a direction of 265.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,782 feet above ground level, and at a distance of 2 nautical miles from the runway. The landing took place on runway 26, which had a length of 1,891 meters. The threshold height was good, but the threshold speed was too high at 88 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 464 meters, and the touchdown speed of 64 knots was a little fast. The touchdown rate was good at -178 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 9 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 4 knots blowing from a direction of 200 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 2 knots. The total landing distance was 760 meters, which accounted for 40% of the runway's length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The total flight distance was 19 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 14 minutes. The aircraft used a total of -48 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Piper PA-24-250 Comanche successfully landed at Innsbruck Airport (LOWI) with a score of 94.2%. The aircraft approached the runway from the east, heading 265.0° at 2 nautical miles and 1,782 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a precise final approach, aligning the aircraft with the runway threshold.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed on runway 26, which has a length of 1,891 meters. The threshold height was satisfactory, but the threshold speed was slightly higher than ideal at 88 knots. However, the touchdown distance of 464 meters was within acceptable limits, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
The touchdown speed of 64 knots was a bit faster than recommended, but the touchdown rate of -178 feet per minute (fpm) was good, suggesting a stable and controlled landing. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained a precise approach and aligned the aircraft with the runway centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 9°C and a wind speed of 4 knots from 200°. The crosswind component was 4 knots, while the headwind component was 2 knots. These conditions did not appear to significantly impact the landing, as the pilot was able to maintain control and execute a smooth touchdown.
The total landing distance of 760 meters was 40% of the runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control and aligned the aircraft with the runway centerline during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was executed smoothly and safely, with only minor deviations from ideal performance.
