This flight was conducted in an Icon A5 aircraft, taking off from a location near Viviers-du-Lac in the Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes region of France. The initial climb phase began with the aircraft lifting off from a height of 784 feet above sea level, gradually increasing to 776 feet asl over a short distance of less than 1 nautical mile in under a minute.
As the flight progressed, the aircraft encountered a situation that required a go-around maneuver at Chambéry Savoie Mont Blanc Airport, specifically on runway 18. The go-around was executed at an altitude of just 2 feet above ground level, showcasing the pilot's skill and control over the aircraft.
Following the go-around, the aircraft proceeded to make a final approach to runway 18 from the north, flying at a heading of 178.0° and maintaining an altitude of 1,156 feet above ground level over a distance of 2 nautical miles. The approach was conducted in ideal weather conditions, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 0 knots from 181°.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway with a distance of 123 meters, which was considered good. However, the touchdown speed of 51 knots was slightly above the target speed, and the touchdown rate of -160 feet per minute was also a bit faster than desired. Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating a high degree of precision and control during the landing phase.
The flight was completed with a total distance of 3 nautical miles, taking approximately 7 minutes to cover this distance. The aircraft consumed a relatively small amount of fuel, with a total of 1 kilogram used during the flight. Overall, the flight demonstrated a high level of skill and control from the pilot, as well as the aircraft's capabilities in various phases of flight.

The aircraft, identified as Icon A5, successfully landed at LFLB Chambéry Savoie Mont Blanc Airport, with a score of 90.0%. The final approach to runway 18 was initiated from the north, heading 178.0° at a distance of 2 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,156 feet above ground level (agl). The touchdown occurred before the threshold, which is a common occurrence in aviation, but it's essential to note that the touchdown speed of 36 knots was within the acceptable range.
However, the touchdown rate was quite heavy, at -2,201 feet per minute (fpm), which may indicate a slightly aggressive descent. Furthermore, the runway touchdown position was excessively misaligned by 98.2 meters from the centerline, which could pose a risk to the aircraft's stability and control during the landing roll.
In contrast, the second landing attempt on the same runway was more successful. The touchdown speed was a little below the target at 54 knots, and the touchdown distance was good at 123 meters. The touchdown rate was also good at -160 fpm, indicating a more controlled descent. Moreover, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, which is crucial for a safe and stable landing roll.
The local weather conditions remained consistent throughout both landing attempts, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 0 knots at 181°. The absence of crosswind and headwind made the landing conditions relatively straightforward. Overall, while there were some areas for improvement, the Icon A5 demonstrated its capabilities and handled the landing at LFLB Chambéry Savoie Mont Blanc Airport with a high degree of proficiency.
