Work on the flare
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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,891 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 228 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Nice-Côte d'Azur Airport, the Boeing 737-800 began its journey with a taxiing phase that lasted 12 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. As the aircraft reached the runway 04R, it initiated its departure roll, utilizing 48% of the 1,435-meter runway to achieve liftoff at a speed of 157 knots. The local weather conditions at the time were characterized by a temperature of 17°C, with a gentle wind of 2 knots at 270°, resulting in a negligible crosswind and a slight tailwind.
As the aircraft climbed away from Nice, it began its enroute climb, reaching an altitude of 33,993 feet above sea level in 20 minutes, covering a distance of 126 nautical miles. The climb phase was followed by a series of level cruises, with the aircraft maintaining a steady altitude over various locations, including Travo, Italy, and Kundl, Austria. The enroute descent phases were initiated over Idro, Italy, and Tux, Austria, with the aircraft gradually losing altitude to prepare for its final approach to Innsbruck Airport. The descent from 33,999 feet to 13,997 feet took 11 minutes, covering 74 nautical miles, and the subsequent descent from 13,696 feet to 9,496 feet took 5 minutes, covering 25 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 26 at Innsbruck Airport was initiated from the east, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 261.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,332 feet above ground level. The landing was executed with a threshold speed of 125 knots, slightly below the target speed, and a touchdown distance of 230 meters. The touchdown speed of 120 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -419 feet per minute was slightly hard. The runway touchdown alignment was excellent, and the runway rollout alignment was perfect. The total landing distance of 1,078 meters was 57% of the 1,891-meter runway. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in 4 minutes. The total flight distance was 353 nautical miles, and the aircraft used 3,329 kilograms of fuel during the flight, which lasted a total of 74 minutes.
The Boeing 737-800 touched down on runway 26 at LOWI Innsbruck Airport with a good threshold height, allowing the crew to maintain a stable approach profile. The threshold speed was slightly below the target of 130 kt, coming in at 125 kt, but this did not significantly impact the overall landing performance. The aircraft's touchdown distance of 230 m was well within the acceptable range, and the touchdown speed of 120 kt was also satisfactory.
The touchdown characteristics were notable for a hard touchdown rate of -419 fpm, which may have been influenced by the aircraft's descent rate and airspeed at the moment of touchdown. However, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the crew had maintained a stable and controlled approach. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 17 °C and a light headwind of 2 kt, contributed to a smooth and stable approach.
The total landing distance of 1,078 m was 57% of the runway length, which is within the acceptable range for a Boeing 737-800. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, with the aircraft maintaining its centreline alignment throughout the rollout phase. Overall, the landing performance was excellent, with a score of 97.6% reflecting the crew's skill and attention to detail.
