Flight Score
Departure
Rotate sooner, bringing the nose up at 75 kt rather than letting speed build further.
What happened: You lifted off at 98 kt against a rotation target of 75 kt, rotating late in the ground roll.
Watch for: Watch airspeed and rotate at the target of 75 kt.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Make one smooth continuous pitch input through the flare rather than chasing the runway with the elevator.
What happened: The flare was pumped, with pitch reversing direction several times on the way down instead of one smooth input.
Watch for: Watch the pitch attitude trend through the flare, aiming for a single steady rise through 4.2° with no reversals.
See Arrival Landing
Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without it.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
At the 1,000 ft gate: no landing flap set and wings not level.
At the 500 ft gate: sink rate above what the glideslope needed, off the centreline and speed below the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,130 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,130 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 13 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 36 at Chambéry Savoie Mont Blanc Airport, LFLB. The Kodiak 100 aircraft took off after a distance of 698 meters, which accounted for 42% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 98 knots. At the time of departure, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 24 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 7 knots from a direction of 170 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a tailwind of 7 knots.
As the aircraft climbed, it started its enroute climb overhead Tresserve, a location in the Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes region of France. The climb began at an altitude of 1,764 feet above sea level and reached a height of 4,109 feet above sea level, an increase of 2,345 feet in just 3 minutes. During this climb, the aircraft covered a distance of 6 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 1 mile east of Saint-Germain-la-Chambotte. This phase lasted for 3 minutes and covered a distance of 8 nautical miles. After completing the cruise phase, the aircraft began its final approach to runway 04 at Annecy Haute-Savoie Mont Blanc Airport, LFLP. The approach was made from the southwest, with a heading of 31.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,415 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 04 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 8 meters. The touchdown speed was 56 knots, which was slightly below the target speed. However, the touchdown rate was fair at -207 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 8.1 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 22 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 10 knots from a direction of 300 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 9 knots and a tailwind of 1 knot.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area from the runway, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in 3 minutes. The total flight distance was 20 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 14 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 36 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The aircraft in question, a Kodiak 100, successfully landed at LFLP Annecy Haute-Savoie Mont Blanc Airport, achieving an overall score of 85.0%. The final approach to runway 04 was initiated from the south-west, with a heading of 31.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,415 feet above ground level.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 56 knots, which was slightly below the target threshold speed. However, the touchdown distance of 8 meters was considered good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown speed and rate were also within acceptable limits, with a rate of -207 feet per minute.
Despite the good performance in terms of touchdown speed and distance, there were some areas for improvement. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 8.1 meters from the centreline, which may have been due to factors such as wind or pilot error. Additionally, the total landing distance of 765 meters was 68% of the runway length, which is slightly above the ideal landing distance.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 22°C and a wind speed of 10 knots from a direction of 300°. This resulted in a crosswind of 9 knots and a tailwind of 1 knot, which may have contributed to the slight misalignment of the runway touchdown position.
During the rollout phase, the aircraft's alignment was slightly misaligned by 13.5 meters from the centreline, which may have been due to the same factors that contributed to the initial misalignment. Overall, while the landing was successful, there are areas for improvement in terms of alignment and landing distance.
