The flight began with a departure roll from runway 36 at LFLB Chambéry Savoie Mont Blanc Airport. The DHC-2 Beaver aircraft took off after a distance of 370 meters, which accounted for 22% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 89 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 32 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 13 knots at a direction of 20 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 5 knots and a headwind of 12 knots.

After takeoff, the aircraft entered a left-hand pattern from runway 36. The distance covered during this phase was less than 1 nautical mile in 120 seconds. The left-hand pattern crosswind was also navigated, with the aircraft covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in just 22 seconds. The pattern downwind turn was completed over a distance of 2 nautical miles, with an angle to the runway of 45 degrees and a descent angle of 3.0 degrees.

The final approach to runway 18 was made from the north, with the aircraft heading at 170.0 degrees and at an altitude of 827 feet above ground level (agl) over a distance of 2 nautical miles. The landing on runway 18 was successful, with a threshold height that was considered good. The threshold speed was slightly below the target speed of 61 knots. The touchdown distance was also good, covering a distance of 112 meters. The touchdown speed was 59 knots, which was considered good. However, the touchdown rate was very hard, with a rate of -564 feet per minute (fpm).

The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 4.1 meters. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 31 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 5 knots at a direction of 160 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 5 knots. The total landing distance was 888 meters, which accounted for 54% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned from the centreline by 14.4 meters.

After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area from the runway, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in 1 minute. The total flight distance was 3 nautical miles, which was completed in 6 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 6 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

Landing on runway 18 at LFLB Chambéry Savoie Mont Blanc Airport in the DHC-2 Beaver

Landing Score 89.41 %

Landing Summary

The DHC-2 Beaver aircraft successfully landed at LFLB Chambéry Savoie Mont Blanc Airport, achieving a score of 89.4%. The final approach to runway 18 was initiated from the north, heading 170.0° at 2 nautical miles and 827 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach was characterized by a good threshold height, indicating a well-executed descent.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was slightly below the target speed of 61 knots, registering at 59 knots. This minor deviation did not significantly impact the overall landing performance. The touchdown distance of 112 meters was also deemed good, demonstrating the pilot's ability to control the aircraft's descent and speed.

However, the touchdown rate was notably hard, reaching -564 feet per minute (fpm). This may indicate that the pilot could have applied a more gradual descent rate to achieve a smoother touchdown. Additionally, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.1 meters from the centerline, which may have contributed to the hard touchdown.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 31°C and a gentle wind of 5 knots at 160°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 5 knots, which likely assisted the aircraft's approach and landing.

The total landing distance of 888 meters was 54% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll. However, the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 14.4 meters from the centerline, which may have resulted from the initial touchdown position being off-center.

Overall, the landing was successful, but there were some minor deviations from optimal performance. The pilot's ability to control the aircraft's descent and speed was demonstrated, but there is room for improvement in terms of touchdown rate and alignment.
