Maintain a smooth pitch
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: five 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.
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,651 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 330 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in the Piper PA-24-250 Comanche began with a 2-minute taxi from the parking area to the runway at LFLP Annecy Haute-Savoie Mont Blanc Airport. The departure roll on runway 22 covered a distance of 525 meters, which was 46% of the total runway length. The liftoff speed was 72 knots. The local weather at the time of departure was 15°C with a 10-knot wind coming from 11°, resulting in a 5-knot crosswind and a 9-knot tailwind.
The enroute climb began 1 mile west of Cran-Gevrier in the Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes region of France. The aircraft climbed from 2,487 feet above sea level to 3,881 feet, an increase of 1,394 feet, in just 1 minute, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles.
After reaching the cruising altitude, the level cruise phase started 1 mile northwest of Montagny-les-Lanches, covering a distance of 8 nautical miles in 3 minutes.
The flight concluded with a landing on runway 18 at LFLB Chambéry Savoie Mont Blanc Airport, which had a runway length of 1,651 meters. The altitude at threshold was 51 feet above ground level, and the speed at threshold was 79 knots. The touchdown point was 329 meters from the threshold, with a touchdown speed of 67 knots and a Vertical Speed Indicator (VSI) reading of -201 feet per minute. The local weather at the time of landing was 15°C with a 10-knot wind from 11°, resulting in a 2-knot crosswind and a 10-knot tailwind. The total landing distance covered was 1,035 meters, which was 63% of the runway length.

Great job on achieving a landing score of 95.3%! Your approach phase was impressive with good glideslope alignment and speed well above target. This shows good precision and control in maintaining the correct descent angle and airspeed during the initial approach.
During the landing phase, you displayed excellent skills with a good threshold height and a perfect landing flare. This indicates your ability to smoothly transition the aircraft from descent to touchdown, resulting in a smooth and controlled landing.
In the touchdown phase, your touchdown rate was good, and you managed to touchdown within the designated zone on the runway. However, it's worth noting that your speed was slightly higher than ideal. Keep in mind that landing with the correct speed is crucial for a safe and smooth touchdown.
Despite the tailwind during landing, you still managed to touchdown within the designated zone and runway position, which is commendable. Landing with a tailwind can be challenging, but you handled it well and maintained control of the aircraft.
Lastly, during the rollout phase, your runway alignment was very good, showcasing your ability to maintain control and keep the aircraft centered on the runway during the landing roll.
Overall, your performance during the landing was impressive, with key areas of improvement identified for future flights. Keep up the good work and continue refining your skills to strive for even higher landing scores in the future. Well done!
