Flight Score
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 1,820 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,820 m of the 3,602 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 571 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 Košice International Airport, taking 6 minutes and covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 01, with a takeoff distance of 706 meters, which was 23% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 145 knots, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 8 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 8 knots at 40 degrees.
As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it started its enroute climb from 1,808 feet above sea level to 22,934 feet above sea level, an increase of 21,126 feet in 7 minutes, covering a distance of 23 nautical miles. The climb took place over the Košice International Airport, and the aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, lasting 20 minutes, covering a distance of 105 nautical miles, and taking place 4 miles northeast of Ladbesenyo in Hungary.
The enroute descent phase started 1 mile southwest of Rybany Airstrip Banovce nad Bebravou in Slovakia, where the aircraft descended from 23,177 feet above sea level to 8,657 feet above sea level, a decrease of 14,520 feet in 7 minutes, covering a distance of 39 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, lasting 4 minutes, covering a distance of 19 nautical miles, and taking place 3 miles southeast of Gbely in Slovakia.
The enroute descent phase continued, starting 2 miles west of Jedenspeigen in Austria, where the aircraft descended from 8,346 feet above sea level to 6,308 feet above sea level, a decrease of 2,039 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, lasting 11 minutes, covering a distance of 25 nautical miles, and taking place 1 mile northwest of Jedenspeigen.
The final descent phase started 2 miles south of Orth an der Donau in Austria, where the aircraft descended from 5,697 feet above sea level to 2,382 feet above sea level, a decrease of 3,315 feet in 8 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 34 at Vienna International Airport, heading 344.0 degrees at 3 nautical miles and 1,756 feet above ground level.
However, the aircraft performed a go-around at 1,309 feet above ground level, and then landed on runway 34, with a runway length of 3,602 meters. The threshold height was above the target, and the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 122 knots. The touchdown point was 147 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 116 knots, which was good, and a touchdown rate of -286 feet per minute, which was fair. The runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 6 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 19 knots at 290 degrees. The crosswind was 15 knots, and the headwind was 11 knots. The total landing distance was 1,731 meters, which was 48% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was misaligned by 17.2 meters from the centerline.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking from the runway, taking 10 minutes and covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 242 nautical miles, taking 88 minutes, and the aircraft used 2,233 kilograms of fuel.
The aircraft in question, an E195, successfully landed at Vienna International Airport (LOWW) on runway 34. The final approach was initiated from the south, heading 344.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,756 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's performance during the landing was evaluated, and it scored an overall grade of 85.8%.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down 147 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is slightly off-target. However, the touchdown speed of 116 knots was within the acceptable range, indicating a good control of the aircraft's descent. The touchdown rate of -286 feet per minute (fpm) was considered fair, suggesting that the aircraft could have been brought down more smoothly.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 6°C and a wind speed of 19 knots from a direction of 290°. This resulted in a crosswind of 15 knots and a headwind of 11 knots. Despite these conditions, the aircraft's runway touchdown alignment was deemed very good, indicating that the pilots maintained a stable approach and controlled the aircraft's descent effectively.
However, the runway rollout alignment was found to be misaligned by 17.2 meters from the centerline, which is a notable deviation. This suggests that the pilots may have lost control of the aircraft's direction during the rollout phase, potentially due to factors such as wind or pilot error.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft scoring a high grade despite some minor deviations from the target. The pilots demonstrated good control of the aircraft's descent and touchdown, but could improve their performance during the rollout phase.
