Work on the flare
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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with five checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,842 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,842 m of the 3,602 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 705 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with taxiing from the parking to the runway at Innsbruck Airport, taking 6 minutes and covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 08, with a takeoff distance of 1,061 meters, which was 56% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 140 knots, and the local weather conditions were a temperature of 10°C, with a wind speed of 3 knots at 194°.
As the aircraft climbed out of Innsbruck, it reached an altitude of 13,761 feet above sea level, an increase of 10,869 feet in just 5 minutes, covering a distance of 23 nautical miles. The enroute climb started overhead Innsbruck, and the aircraft continued to climb to higher altitudes, reaching 28,531 feet above sea level, an increase of 14,608 feet in 7 minutes, covering a distance of 44 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered a level cruise, lasting 5 minutes, covering a distance of 34 nautical miles, and passing overhead Mondsee, Austria. The aircraft continued to cruise at various altitudes, with a few brief descents and level cruises, before starting its final descent into Vienna International Airport.
The descent from 28,153 feet above sea level to 24,009 feet above sea level took 2 minutes, covering a distance of 10 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a level cruise, lasting 2 minutes, covering a distance of 11 nautical miles, before starting its final descent into Vienna International Airport.
The final descent from 23,833 feet above sea level to 7,852 feet above sea level took 10 minutes, covering a distance of 57 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a level cruise, lasting 12 minutes, covering a distance of 44 nautical miles, before starting its final approach to runway 16 at Vienna International Airport.
The final approach was made from the north, heading 164.0°, at an altitude of 1,339 feet above ground level, and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was made on runway 16, which was 3,602 meters long. The threshold height was above the target, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 140 knots.
The touchdown point was 282 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 129 knots, which was good. However, the touchdown rate was hard at -414 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.4 meters from the centreline. The local weather conditions were a temperature of 10°C, with a wind speed of 10 knots at 129°, resulting in a crosswind of 6 knots and a headwind of 8 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,752 meters, which was 49% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was misaligned by 19.9 meters from the centreline. The taxiing from the runway to the parking took 12 minutes, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles.
The total flight distance was 271 nautical miles, taking a total of 72 minutes, and the aircraft used 1,980 kilograms of fuel.
The aircraft in question, an E195, successfully landed at Vienna International Airport (LOWW) on runway 16. The final approach was initiated from the north, heading 164.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,339 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's performance during the landing was evaluated, and it scored 82.2%.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down 282 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is slightly off-target. However, the touchdown speed of 129 knots was within the acceptable range, indicating a good control of the aircraft's descent. The touchdown rate, on the other hand, was hard at -414 feet per minute (fpm), which may indicate a slightly aggressive approach.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 10°C, with a wind speed of 10 knots at 129°. The crosswind component was 6 knots, while the headwind component was 8 knots. These conditions did not appear to significantly impact the aircraft's performance during the landing.
The runway length at LOWW is 3,602 meters, and the aircraft's total landing distance was 1,752 meters, which accounts for 49% of the runway. This indicates that the aircraft had sufficient runway remaining for a safe stop. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.4 meters from the centerline, and the runway rollout alignment was also misaligned by 19.9 meters from the centerline.
Overall, while the landing was not entirely flawless, the aircraft's performance was satisfactory, and the pilot's control of the aircraft during the approach and landing was good. However, there is room for improvement in terms of touchdown zone accuracy and runway alignment during rollout.
