Flight Score
Departure
Ease the nose up sooner to lift off at 144 kt instead of letting speed build on the ground.
What happened: The aircraft lifted off at 161 kt, 17 kt above the target liftoff speed.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 144 kt at liftoff
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Reduce power earlier on final so speed bleeds back to 133 kt by the threshold, rather than carrying it in.
What happened: This flight crossed the threshold 9 kt above the target speed, then began the flare 12 ft above the normal band. Carrying speed like this across the threshold usually keeps the flare high and ends in a firm touchdown.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 133 kt at the threshold.
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.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
At the 1,000 ft gate: off the runway's 3.5° glideslope, off the centreline and speed above the reference speed.
At the 500 ft gate: off the centreline.
The approach, gate by gate
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.
Touched down 685 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft, an Airbus A319, taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Nice-Côte d'Azur Airport, which took approximately 8 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 04R, with a takeoff distance of 1,280 meters, which is 43% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 161 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it encountered local weather conditions of 26°C temperature and a wind speed of 8 knots at 120 degrees. The crosswind was 8 knots, while the headwind was 2 knots. The enroute climb started over Nice-Côte d'Azur Airport, where the aircraft climbed from 1,017 feet above sea level to 32,643 feet above sea level, an increase of 31,626 feet in 17 minutes, covering a distance of 105 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 8 miles northwest of Santo Stefano d'Aveto, Italy, and lasted for 11 minutes, covering a distance of 125 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent over Vervo, Italy, where it descended from 32,503 feet above sea level to 9,592 feet above sea level, a decrease of 22,912 feet in 10 minutes, covering a distance of 81 nautical miles.
The aircraft continued to climb and descend multiple times, with each climb and descent taking place over different locations in Italy and Austria. The final approach to runway 26 at Innsbruck Airport took place from the east, with the aircraft heading 252.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,079 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 26 at Innsbruck Airport took place with a runway length of 1,891 meters. The threshold height was significantly above the target, while the threshold speed was well above the target at 143 knots. The touchdown point was 221 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 129 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was firm at -337 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 14.9 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 20°C temperature and a wind speed of 11 knots at 260 degrees, with a crosswind of 0 knots and a headwind of 11 knots. The total landing distance was 1,135 meters, which is 60% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was misaligned by 16.3 meters from the centerline.
The flight ended with the aircraft taxiing to the parking area from the runway, which took approximately 4 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 349 nautical miles, taking a total of 59 minutes, and the aircraft used 2,781 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A319 aircraft successfully landed at Innsbruck Airport (LOWI) on runway 26, but the landing was not without some issues. The final approach was initiated from the east, heading 252.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,079 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on the runway, but the touchdown point was 221 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, indicating a slight deviation from the intended landing spot.
The touchdown speed of 129 knots was slightly above the target speed, which could have contributed to the firm touchdown rate of -337 feet per minute (fpm). The threshold height at 91 feet agl was significantly above the target, and the threshold speed was well above the target at 143 knots. These deviations from the target values suggest that the pilots may have had some difficulty in achieving a smooth and precise landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 20°C and a wind speed of 11 knots from 260°. The crosswind component was negligible, but the headwind component was 11 knots, which could have affected the aircraft's approach and landing. The runway length at LOWI is 1,891 meters, which is sufficient for the Airbus A319, but the landing distance of 1,135 meters, which is 60% of the runway length, indicates that the pilots may have had to use some of the runway to stop the aircraft.
The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 14.9 meters from the centerline, and the runway rollout alignment was also misaligned by 16.3 meters from the centerline. These misalignments suggest that the pilots may have had some difficulty in maintaining a straight course during the landing roll. Overall, while the landing was successful, there were some issues with the approach and landing that need to be addressed to improve the aircraft's performance.
