Flight Score
Departure
Lower the nose and add power to raise climb speed to 170 kt.
What happened: Climb speed was 147 kt against a target of 170 kt, running 23 kt slow through the climb.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator against the climb target of 170 kt.
Arrival
Reduce power earlier on final so speed is back to 140 kt before the gate, not after it.
What happened: Speed control was already loose at the stabilisation gate, and this flight crossed the threshold at 146 kt against a target of 140 kt, 6 kt fast. Carrying excess speed into the gate like this usually carries straight through to a fast threshold crossing.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator, targeting 140 kt by the gate and held to 140 kt at the threshold.
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: speed 54 kt FAST on the reference speed of 140 kt.
At the 500 ft gate: speed 34 kt FAST on the reference speed of 140 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,645 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,645 m of the 3,596 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 457 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Airbus A320 taxied from the parking area to runway 10L at LOWK Klagenfurt Airport in 5 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
On departure roll the aircraft used 1,621 m of runway 10L, representing 64 % of the available length, and lifted off at 142 kt; ambient temperature was 21 °C with a 1 kt wind from 240°, a 1 kt cross-wind component and a 1 kt tail-wind component.
Climb commenced 1 mile north of Ebenthal, rising from 2,455 ft asl to 13,018 ft asl - a gain of 10,563 ft - in 5 minutes while covering 23 nm.
The first cruise segment began 1 mile south-west of Gemmersdorf and lasted 7 minutes, during which 54 nm were flown.
Descent started 1 mile south-east of Stambach, descending from 12,995 ft asl to 8,000 ft asl - a loss of 4,996 ft - in 5 minutes and covering 34 nm.
A second cruise phase was initiated 1 mile south-west of Zillingdorf, lasting 2 minutes and spanning 9 nm.
The subsequent descent began 1 mile north-east of Ebreichsdorf, dropping from 7,810 ft asl to 1,905 ft asl - a decrease of 5,905 ft - in 6 minutes while traveling 29 nm.
Final approach to runway 16 at LOWW Vienna International Airport was executed from the north on a heading of 164.0°, at 4 nm and 1,301 ft agl.
Landing on runway 16, which is 3,600 m long, was achieved with a threshold speed of 147 kt; touchdown occurred 46 m beyond the touchdown zone at 136 kt and a vertical speed of minus 194 fpm, with perfect alignment; total landing distance was 1,570 m (44 % of runway). Local conditions were 23 °C, wind 5 kt from 170°, 1 kt cross-wind and 5 kt head-wind.
Runway rollout alignment was reported as perfect.
The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 6 minutes, covering 1 nm.
Overall, the flight covered 158 nm, lasted 40 minutes and consumed 1,648 kg of fuel.
The final approach to runway 16 at LOWW Vienna International Airport was flown from the north on a heading of 164.0 ° at 4 nm and 1,301 ft agl. Local weather was 23 °C with wind 5 kt from 170 °, a 1 kt cross-wind component and a 5 kt head-wind. The approach was assessed as unstable at the 1,000 ft gate because the sink rate was too high.
During the threshold and flare segment the aircraft maintained a threshold speed of 147 kt, which was slightly above the target, and the threshold height was reported as good.
Touchdown occurred 46 m beyond the touchdown zone with a speed of 136 kt, described as a little fast, while the vertical speed at touchdown was minus 194 fpm, judged good. Runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The total landing distance was 1,570 m, representing 44 % of the 3,600 m runway, and rollout alignment was perfect.
To refine future performances, focus on reducing the sink rate to achieve a stable approach at the 1,000 ft gate and adjust speed management to bring the threshold and touchdown speeds closer to their targets.
