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.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
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 294 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in question was operated by an Airbus A319 aircraft. The aircraft began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 8 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 04R at Nice-Côte d'Azur Airport, with the aircraft taking off after covering 47% of the runway's length. The takeoff distance was 1,387 meters, and the liftoff speed was 155 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it encountered local weather conditions of 27°C temperature and 8 knots of wind at 180 degrees. The crosswind and tailwind components were both 6 knots. The enroute climb started over Nice-Côte d'Azur Airport, where the aircraft climbed from 1,042 feet above sea level to 2,742 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 33 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. This was followed by another enroute climb, which took the aircraft from 2,742 feet to 32,733 feet in 17 minutes, covering a distance of 102 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which lasted for 11 minutes and covered 81 nautical miles.
As the aircraft continued its journey, it encountered various enroute descents and level cruise phases. The first descent took place over Provaglio Val Sabbia, where the aircraft descended from 32,689 feet to 15,484 feet in 9 minutes, covering a distance of 61 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase over Bolzano, which lasted for 2 minutes and covered 10 nautical miles.
The aircraft continued to experience various enroute descents and level cruise phases, with each phase lasting for a few minutes and covering a short distance. The final approach to runway 26 at Innsbruck Airport took place from the east, with the aircraft heading 263.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,646 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 26 was successful, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 120 knots and a touchdown distance of 294 meters. The touchdown rate was very hard at -597 feet per minute, but the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 25°C temperature and 8 knots of wind at 80 degrees, with a crosswind component of 0 knots and a tailwind component of 8 knots.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 388 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 85 minutes. The aircraft used 3,469 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A319 aircraft successfully landed at Innsbruck Airport (LOWI) with a score of 93.5%. The final approach was conducted from the east, heading 263.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,646 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft then landed on runway 26, which has a length of 1,891 meters.
The landing was deemed good, with a threshold height that met the required standards. The threshold speed was also satisfactory at 128 knots. The touchdown distance was within acceptable limits at 294 meters, and the touchdown speed of 120 knots was also considered good. However, the touchdown rate was quite hard, coming in at -597 feet per minute (fpm), which may indicate a slightly aggressive approach.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 25°C and a wind speed of 8 knots from a direction of 80°. This resulted in a crosswind of 0 knots and a tailwind of 8 knots, which did not significantly impact the landing. The total landing distance was 1,059 meters, which is 56% of the runway length.
Despite the overall success of the landing, there was a slight deviation in the runway rollout alignment, with the aircraft being 7.9 meters off-centerline. This may indicate a slight misalignment during the rollout phase, but it did not appear to have a significant impact on the overall landing performance. Overall, the landing was considered good, with only minor deviations from the ideal performance.
