Landing on runway 36 at LFLB Chambéry Savoie Mont Blanc Airport in the Piper PA-24-250 Comanche

Landing Score 96.37 %

Landing Summary

The Piper PA-24-250 Comanche successfully landed at LFLB Chambéry Savoie Mont Blanc Airport, achieving a score of 96.4%. The aircraft approached the runway from the south, heading 357.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,631 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot maintained a good threshold height, which is essential for a safe landing.

Upon reaching the threshold speed of 54 knots, the pilot was reminded to be cautious not to stall the aircraft. The touchdown distance of 144 meters was considered good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown speed of 43 knots was also within the acceptable range, further emphasizing the pilot's skill in managing the aircraft's speed.

However, the touchdown rate of -211 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair, suggesting that the pilot could have maintained a more gradual descent. Additionally, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.9 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the pilot's alignment during the final approach.

The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and no wind. This made the landing even more challenging, as the pilot had to rely solely on their skills and experience to navigate the aircraft safely. The total landing distance of 550 meters, which accounted for 33% of the runway length, was considered acceptable.

One of the notable aspects of this landing was the excellent runway rollout alignment, which was described as very good. This indicates that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase, ensuring a safe and stable exit from the runway. Overall, the pilot's performance was impressive, and the landing was considered safe and successful.
