Departure
Use smooth aileron to roll the wings level in the first climb segment, holding bank angle near wings-level instead of letting it build to 4°.
What happened: The wings held 4° of bank through the first climb segment and had drifted to 1.3° by the second - this early wing-level drift usually carries through into a larger bank excursion later in the climb.
Watch for: Watch the attitude indicator's bank pointer and keep it at wings level throughout the climb.
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.

From brake release to the end of the climb, against time, then the takeoff point by point.
Lifted off at 100 kt with 2.7° of pitch.
Two traces from brake release: the airspeed on top, and below it the pitch, which is how far the nose is above the horizon. The figure at liftoff is the pitch then. The shaded stretch is Climb 3, the part of the climb scored on holding the climb speed.
The takeoff, point by point
Side view from the start of the roll to the end of Climb 3 at 588 ft.
Reached 35 ft with 1,078 m of runway left; then climbing at 1,410 fpm on average to 588 ft.
The takeoff from the side: the height above the runway against the distance along it. The numbers along the runway are the speeds reached at each point. Lifting off in the amber last quarter of the runway costs marks for the roll length. The shaded stretch is Climb 3, scored on its average speed against the target.
Plan view the roll down the 1,651 m runway.
Rolled from 105 m in, drifted right of the centreline, 1.6 m at the widest, and lifted off 1 m left. Airborne 24 % of the way down the runway, before the 75 % line.
The roll from above, with your left at the top. The line is where the wheels went, and "widest" is the furthest you drifted off the centreline. Lifting off before the amber 75 % line gets full marks for the roll length.
One stabilised approach gate: seven 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.
At the 300 ft gate: wings more than 10° from level.
When the approach was stable
Never every check met at once: banked all the way, right of the centreline until 0.4 nm, sinking too fast until 0.3 nm, slow from 0.2 nm to the threshold.
Each line is one of the gate checks, run along the whole final rather than only at the gates: green where it would have passed, amber where it would not. The glideslope, centreline and speed lines use the bands in the charts beside this card. The sink rate is allowed what the glideslope needs at your ground speed plus 600 fpm, the wings 10° of bank, and the gear and flap are read from when you moved the levers. The bottom line is green where every check held at once, ignoring blips shorter than 0.2 nm, and the sentence above it says from where it held to the threshold. A ring is a stabilisation gate, where the checks in the table were taken.
The final from 4 nm, with the stabilisation gates on it.
Profile height against the 3° glideslope, with its 2° band in green.
Inside the glideslope band from 0.9 nm, where the final began, to the threshold, never more than 340 ft above the slope.
Your height above the runway against the distance still to go. The glideslope is the steady descent path to the aiming point, 305 m past the threshold: 3° here, which is about 320 ft for every nautical mile out, crossing the threshold at about 50 ft. The row under the distances is the height it puts you at. Inside the green band your path is drawn green; outside it, amber. A ring is a stabilisation gate: green when every check there passed, amber with the failed checks named beside it.
Plan distance off the extended centreline, your left at the top, with the 1° band. Sideways distances are drawn 3× larger than distances along the final.
Joined 266 m right of the centreline at 0.9 nm, then inside the band from 0.4 nm to the threshold.
Looking down from above, flying left to right towards the runway: up the page is left of the centreline, down is right. Sideways distances are stretched so that small drifts show, so a line that looks wild here may be only a few tens of feet. The labels are how far off you were at each distance, amber when outside the band.
Speed against the approach speed. The green band runs from 5 kt slow to 42 kt fast at the 1,000 ft gate, closing to 25 at 500 ft and 10 at the threshold.
Inside the speed band from 0.9 nm, where the final began, to 0.2 nm, then slow to the threshold (up to −11 kt).
Your indicated airspeed down the final, against the approach speed for this aircraft at its landing weight. The band allows 5 kt slow and more on the fast side further out, closing as you get lower, because the speed is expected to come off on the way down. The figures are knots above (+) or below (−) the approach speed.
Over the threshold
Touchdown
Very good landing flare
No crosswind: nothing to correct for. Touched down straight, 2° of bank.
Wind 011° at 10 kt · 10 kt head · 0 kt across
The wind is the one recorded at the landing, split along the runway (headwind or tailwind) and across it. To hold the centreline in a crosswind the nose points a little into wind - the crab - and is straightened with rudder just before the wheels touch, often with the into-wind wing lowered to stop the drift. These are the nose against the direction you were actually moving, and the wings, at the moment of touchdown. Shown for reading; not marked.
From 74 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 12 s, an average deceleration of 0.21 g.
Your ground speed from the moment the wheels touched until you were down to taxi speed, against the distance rolled. A steep line is hard braking, a shallow one a long, gentle roll. For scale, an airliner's lowest autobrake setting decelerates at about 0.15 g, a medium one about 0.3 g. Shown for reading; not marked.
Side view — the last 549 m of the approach.
Crossed the threshold at 22 ft, 28 ft below the 50 ft target. Touched down 122 m in, 183 m short of the ideal 305 m.
The last stretch of the approach and the touchdown, from the side. The height is stretched so that the last few feet show: 80 ft top to bottom, against 549 m across. The dashed line is the ideal, 50 ft over the threshold and down 305 m in. The flare ring is where you began raising the nose, and "descent slowed" is where the sink came off; the figures beside them are the sink rate, pitch and speed at that point.
Sink and pitch — through the flare, lined up with the side view.
The sink grew from 140 fpm at 20 ft to 160 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 0.7° on the way down.
Lined up with the side view above, so a point on one sits under the same point of the other. On top, how fast you were coming down: 0 is level, and −600 is 600 ft a minute down. Below, the pitch. In a flare the nose comes up and the descent slows towards 0. The figure at the touchdown line is your touchdown rate.
Plan view — the full 549 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down on the centreline and drifted to 8.4 m left on the rollout.
The runway from above, with your left at the top. Touching down inside the green bracket scores full marks for the distance. The shaded part is the rollout, up to where it ended.
The 122 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The 1.22 G arrival bounced 2 times.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 18 at LFLB Chambéry Savoie Mont Blanc Airport, where the Beechcraft Baron G58 took off with a takeoff distance of 323 meters, which is 20% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 100 knots. At the time of departure, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 9 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots at 190 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 2 knots.
As the aircraft climbed, it started its enroute climb overhead Voglans, Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes, France, from an altitude of 1,395 feet above sea level to 4,982 feet above sea level, an increase of 3,587 feet in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise then began 1 mile south of Brison-Saint-Innocent, Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes, France, and lasted for 6 minutes, covering a distance of 19 nautical miles.
The enroute descent started overhead Challonges, Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes, France, where the aircraft descended from 4,986 feet above sea level to 2,002 feet above sea level, a decrease of 2,983 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 8 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise then resumed overhead Confort, Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes, France, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 36 at LFHN Bellegarde-Vouvray Airfield was made from the south, heading 357.0 degrees at 1 nautical mile and 292 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 36 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 121 meters, which is good. The touchdown speed was 76 knots, and the touchdown rate was firm at -345 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 10 knots at 11 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 10 knots. The total landing distance was 404 meters, which is 74% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area from the runway in less than 1 minute, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 35 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 17 minutes. The aircraft used 17 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
