Flight Score
Departure
Raise the gear lever promptly once a positive climb is confirmed, before reaching the target retraction height.
What happened: Gear retraction was delayed, with the gear not coming up until 1,020 ft agl.
Watch for: Landing gear: up by the normal retraction gate
Arrival
Fly a steeper descent on final so you cross the threshold at 50 ft agl instead of 81 ft agl.
What happened: The aircraft crossed the threshold at 81 ft agl against a 50 ft agl target, well above the normal profile. The touchdown point was also long at 833 m against a 457 m target, a pattern often seen after high threshold crossings.
Watch for: Radio altimeter against the 50 ft threshold crossing target on short final.
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.

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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
At the 1,000 ft gate: centreline 9.2° off, against a 1° limit.
At the 500 ft gate: wings 10° of bank, against a 10° limit.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,934 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 833 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Nice-Côte d'Azur Airport, the Airbus A320 began its journey with a taxiing period of 13 minutes, covering 2 nautical miles to reach the runway. The departure roll from runway 04R commenced at 17°C, with a gentle wind of 2 knots at 270°. The aircraft lifted off at 157 knots, utilizing 59% of the 1,746-meter runway.
As the aircraft climbed to 32,009 feet above sea level, it traversed 113 nautical miles in 18 minutes, showcasing a steady ascent. The enroute level cruise phase started 4 miles southwest of Bobbio, Italy, lasting 9 minutes and covering 123 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent from 32,004 feet, decreasing to 10,707 feet in 10 minutes, covering 75 nautical miles. This was followed by a brief climb to 13,440 feet, before entering another level cruise phase over Steinberg am Rofan, Austria. The final descent phase started 4 miles northwest of Tarrenz, Austria, and concluded with a landing on runway 08 at Innsbruck Airport.
The Airbus A320 touched down 376 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a speed of 122 knots and a touchdown rate of -256 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was excellent, and the runway rollout alignment was perfect. The total landing distance was 1,223 meters, utilizing 65% of the 1,891-meter runway. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area, covering less than 1 nautical mile in 2 minutes. The total flight distance was 402 nautical miles, with a flight time of 71 minutes and a fuel consumption of 3,257 kilograms.
The final approach to runway 08 at Innsbruck Airport (LOWI) from the west was initiated at 1 nm and 739 ft above ground level, heading 79.0°. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a threshold height of 72 ft above ground level, which was well above the target. The threshold speed of 136 kt was within the acceptable range, indicating a good control of the aircraft's descent and speed.
As the aircraft touched down 376 m beyond the touchdown zone, the touchdown speed of 122 kt was good, demonstrating a smooth and controlled touchdown. However, the touchdown rate of -256 fpm was fair, indicating a slightly higher than ideal rate of descent. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, with the aircraft maintaining its centerline alignment throughout the touchdown phase. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15 °C and a light wind of 2 kt at 270°, contributed to a relatively stable and predictable approach.
The total landing distance of 1,223 m, which accounted for 65% of the runway length, was within the acceptable range. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, with the aircraft maintaining its centerline alignment throughout the rollout phase. Overall, the landing performance was satisfactory, with a score of 87.4%. While there were some minor deviations from the ideal performance, the pilot's control and management of the aircraft were generally good, resulting in a safe and controlled landing.
