Chambéry's 6,628-foot runway is marginal for the Gulfstream G650, so it operates weight-limited — reduced fuel or payload, crew-calculated for the day's conditions. The Mont Blanc terrain approach adds an operational constraint. Final landing performance is calculated by the operating crew for the specific date, weather, and load.
