Avoid steep turns at low altitude
Below a thousand feet the aeroplane is slow, heavy and close to the ground. A steep turn loses lift, raises the stall speed and flattens the climb just when the gradient matters most. A normal turn on course is a rate one — fifteen degrees or so, twenty-five at the outside, this penalty is to acknowledge when a turn has stopped being a turn and become a manoeuvre.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks at 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 2,447 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 630 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking area to the runway, which took 5 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 16 at LOWW Vienna International Airport, with a takeoff distance of 1,079 meters, which accounted for 30% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 149 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 2 degrees Celsius and wind speeds of 21 knots at 140 degrees. The crosswind was 9 knots, while the headwind was 19 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead Enzersdorf an der Fischa in Niederoesterreich, Austria. It climbed from an altitude of 1,560 feet above sea level to 29,786 feet above sea level, an increase of 28,226 feet, in 10 minutes and covering a distance of 51 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started overhead Langenwang in Steiermark, Austria, and lasted for 3 minutes, covering 21 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute climb, starting overhead Niklasdorf in Steiermark, Austria, and climbed from 29,846 feet above sea level to 33,644 feet above sea level, an increase of 3,798 feet, in 3 minutes and covering 21 nautical miles.
The enroute descent started 6 miles north of Poels in Steiermark, Austria, and the aircraft descended from 33,647 feet above sea level to 29,755 feet above sea level, a decrease of 3,892 feet, in 3 minutes and covering 22 nautical miles. Another enroute climb started 2 miles north of Ranten in Steiermark, Austria, and the aircraft climbed from 29,739 feet above sea level to 32,877 feet above sea level, an increase of 3,138 feet, in 3 minutes and covering 22 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 3 miles west of Sankt Michael im Lungau in Salzburg, Austria, and lasted for 21 minutes, covering 131 nautical miles. The enroute descent started 3 miles south of LIQM Aviosuperficie Passo del Tonale Ponte di Legno in Trentino-Alto Adige, Italy, and the aircraft descended from 32,731 feet above sea level to 1,599 feet above sea level, a decrease of 31,132 feet, in 19 minutes and covering 75 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 36 at LIML Milano Linate Airport was from the south, with a heading of 356.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,243 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 36 was successful, with a touchdown point 214 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was slightly above the target at 141 knots, and the touchdown rate was fair at -246 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the local weather conditions were a temperature of 7 degrees Celsius and wind speeds of 4 knots at 29 degrees.
The total landing distance was 1,968 meters, which accounted for 80% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect. The total flight distance was 351 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 75 minutes. The aircraft used a total of -1,808 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The aircraft in question, an E195, successfully landed at LIML Milano Linate Airport, achieving a score of 93.4%. The final approach was conducted from the south, heading 356.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,243 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft landed on runway 36, which has a length of 2,447 meters.
Upon touchdown, the threshold height was reported as good, but the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 141 knots. The touchdown point was located 214 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, indicating that the aircraft touched down slightly further down the runway than intended. The touchdown speed of 141 knots was also a little faster than desired, which may have contributed to the slightly longer touchdown point.
The touchdown rate of -246 feet per minute (fpm) was considered fair, suggesting that the aircraft's descent was not excessively steep. The runway touchdown alignment was reported as perfect, indicating that the aircraft was aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 7°C and a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 29°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, while the headwind component was 4 knots. These conditions were likely favorable for the landing, with the headwind helping to slow the aircraft's descent and reduce the risk of drifting off the runway.
The total landing distance of 1,968 meters was 80% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft was able to stop within a reasonable distance after touchdown. The runway rollout alignment was also reported as perfect, suggesting that the aircraft was aligned with the runway centerline throughout the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score and demonstrating good control and precision throughout the approach and landing phases.
