Slow the descent speed
Below 10,000 ft you are typically limited to 250 kt indicated (a US rule that much of the world mirrors in some form, though not universally). This forces a deceleration around 10,000 ft whether the profile wants one or not, so plan for it rather than discovering 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 1,762 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,762 m of the 3,602 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 429 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 26 at Innsbruck Airport (LOWI), with the aircraft, an Embraer E195, taking off after a distance of 1,546 meters, which is 82% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 150 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of 2°C, with a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 185°, resulting in a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 1 knot.
As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it began its enroute climb from a point 1 mile north of Birgitz, Tirol, Austria, and reached a maximum altitude of 28,926 feet above sea level (asl) after an increase of 25,973 feet in just 14 minutes, covering a distance of 58 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a level cruise, starting 3 miles west of Unken, Salzburg, Austria, and lasted for 7 minutes, covering 49 nautical miles.
The enroute descent started overhead Gmunden, Oberoesterreich, Austria, with the aircraft descending from 29,144 feet asl to 24,912 feet asl, a decrease of 4,232 feet in just 2 minutes, covering 16 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting 1 mile northwest of Molln, Oberoesterreich, Austria, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering 15 nautical miles.
The enroute descent started 2 miles southeast of Maria Neustift, Oberoesterreich, Austria, with the aircraft descending from 24,170 feet asl to 7,787 feet asl, a decrease of 16,383 feet in 11 minutes, covering 69 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting overhead Wiesen, Burgenland, Austria, and lasted for 6 minutes, covering 15 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 34 at Vienna International Airport (LOWW) began from the south, with the aircraft heading 342.0° at 3 nautical miles and 1,708 feet above ground level (agl). However, the aircraft was forced to execute a go-around at 296 feet agl due to unknown reasons.
The aircraft then landed on runway 34 at LOWW, with a runway length of 3,602 meters. The threshold height was good, but the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 138 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 428 meters, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 133 knots. The touchdown rate was good at -197 feet per minute (fpm), and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 8°C, with a wind speed of 11 knots from a direction of 290°, resulting in a crosswind of 9 knots and a headwind of 6 knots. The total landing distance was 1,680 meters, which is 47% of the runway. However, the runway rollout alignment was misaligned by 19.7 meters from the centerline.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area from the runway, taking 5 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight
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 342.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,708 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's performance during the landing was satisfactory, with a good threshold height and a slightly above-target threshold speed of 138 knots.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's distance was 428 meters, which is considered good. However, the touchdown speed of 133 knots was a little fast, indicating that the pilot may have needed to apply more braking force to slow down the aircraft. The touchdown rate of -197 feet per minute (fpm) was good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, which is a critical factor in ensuring a safe and stable landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 8°C and a wind speed of 11 knots from a direction of 290°. The crosswind component was 9 knots, while the headwind component was 6 knots. These conditions did not appear to have a significant impact on the aircraft's performance during the landing.
One area for improvement identified in the report was the runway rollout alignment, which was misaligned by 19.7 meters from the centerline. This suggests that the pilot may have needed to apply more braking force or make adjustments to the aircraft's alignment during the rollout phase. However, it is worth noting that the total landing distance of 1,680 meters was only 47% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft was able to stop safely within a reasonable distance.
Overall, the landing was considered satisfactory, with some areas for improvement identified. The pilot's performance was good, and the aircraft's systems functioned as expected. However, further training or adjustments may be necessary to improve the pilot's skills and reduce the risk of errors during future landings.
