Next time

Departure

Ease the yoke smoothly to hold a steady one g through the ground roll instead of letting it sag to 0.5 g.

What happened: During the ground roll the g force averaged 0.5 g, well below the smooth steady load expected while tracking the runway.

Watch for: Watch the g meter and hold it steady near one g through the roll.

See Departure Roll

Arrival

Reduce power sooner on final so you cross the threshold at 70 kt, carrying that speed into the flare.

What happened: Crossing the threshold at 84 kt, 14 kt above 70 kt, usually leaves extra energy that lets the sink come back after the flare has arrested it, and that returning sink usually carries through to a firm touchdown.

Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 70 kt at the threshold.

See Arrival LandingArrival Touchdown

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 stabilisation gates

One stabilised approach gate: four checks where the approach path is 300 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out. These checks are the approach's score.

At the 300 ft gate: no landing flap set and centreline 2.1° off, against a 1° limit.

Sideslipping at the lower gate - wing down, opposite rudder. That is a technique for losing height without gaining speed, so the sink rate, the glideslope and wings level are not asked there: they are what the slip is for. The other checks are marked as usual.

Flight narrative

The Piper PA-24 Comanche taxied to runway 33 at LFHM Megève Altiport and commenced its departure roll. Takeoff was achieved after a ground run of 460 m, representing 73 % of the available runway, with liftoff occurring at 76 kt. Ambient conditions were 17 °C with a wind of 1 kt from 307°, providing a 1 kt headwind component and a 1 kt cross-wind.

En-route, the aircraft entered level cruise overhead Megeve in the Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes region. The cruise segment lasted 3 minutes and covered a distance of 6 nm before the descent phase began.

Descent commenced over Sallanches, also in Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes. The aircraft descended from 5,007 ft asl to 2,322 ft asl, a loss of 2,685 ft, over a period of 4 minutes while covering 7 nm.

For the final approach the aircraft was configured for runway 35 at LFHZ Ancien aérodrome de Sallanches Mont-Blanc. The approach descent reduced altitude from 977 ft agl to minus 169 ft agl in 48 seconds, and the aircraft scored on the stabilisation gates.

Landing was executed on runway 35, whose length is 601 m. The threshold speed was recorded at 85 kt, and the touchdown point occurred beyond 50 % of the available runway. Touchdown speed was 67 kt, with a vertical speed of minus 185 fpm and runway-centerline alignment described as very good. Local weather at the time was 23 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 321°, giving a 2 kt headwind and a 1 kt cross-wind.

Rollout distance measured 648 m, equivalent to 108 % of the runway length, and runway-rollout alignment remained very good throughout the deceleration phase.

In total the flight covered 16 nm, required 9 minutes of elapsed time, and consumed 6 kg of fuel.

Landing Score 75.74 %
Landing Summary

The Piper PA-24 Comanche approached runway 35 at LFHZ Ancien aérodrome de Sallanches Mont-Blanc, descending from 977 ft agl to -169 ft agl in 48 seconds and was scored on the stabilisation gates; local weather was 23 °C with wind 2 kt from 321°, a 1 kt cross-wind and a 2 kt head-wind.

At threshold the height was good, but the threshold speed was too high at 85 kt.

Touchdown occurred very long, using more than 50 % of the 601 m runway; the touchdown speed of 67 kt was good, the vertical rate was good at minus 185 fpm, and runway touchdown alignment was very good.

The aircraft rolled out with a total landing distance of 648 m, 108 % of the runway, and rollout alignment was very good.

To improve the score, reduce the approach speed to bring the threshold speed closer to the target VREF and aim to touch down within the first 300 m (approximately 1 000 ft) of the runway, which will shorten the landing distance and keep the touchdown point well inside the available runway.
