The flight began with an enroute climb from Hall in Tirol, Austria, where the aircraft, an Airbus H160, took off from an altitude of 2,078 ft above sea level. The climb was steep, with the aircraft increasing its altitude by 498 ft in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. This rapid ascent brought the aircraft to an altitude of 2,575 ft asl.

Following the climb, the aircraft entered an enroute level cruise phase, starting overhead Absam in Tirol, Austria. This cruise phase lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent from Baumkirchen, Tirol, Austria, decreasing its altitude by 612 ft in 2 minutes, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The descent brought the aircraft to an altitude of 2,152 ft asl.

The aircraft then entered another enroute level cruise phase, this time starting overhead Volders, Tirol, Austria. This cruise phase was significantly longer, lasting for 10 minutes and covering a distance of 5 nautical miles. The aircraft continued to cruise at this altitude before beginning its final approach to runway 26 at LOWI Innsbruck Airport.

The final approach was made from the east, with the aircraft heading 253.0° at an altitude of 546 ft above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. However, the approach was not entirely smooth, with the aircraft landing excessively far down the runway, using more than 50% of the available runway. The touchdown speed was also excessively fast at 41 kn, and the threshold height was excessively high at 144 ft agl. The threshold speed was also excessively high at 105 kn.

Despite these issues, the touchdown rate was smooth at -101 fpm, and the runway touchdown position was only slightly misaligned by 3.3 m from the centreline. The local weather conditions were calm, with a temperature of 15 °C, a wind speed of 1 kn at 270°, and a crosswind of 0 kn and a headwind of 1 kn.

After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area from the runway, taking just 1 minute and covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 13 nautical miles, and the flight used 92 kg of fuel, taking a total of 20 minutes to complete.

Landing on runway 26 at LOWI Innsbruck Airport in the Airbus H160

Landing Score 52.87 %

Landing Summary

The Airbus H160 aircraft has successfully landed at Innsbruck Airport (LOWI) on runway 26, but the landing was not without its issues. The final approach was initiated from the east, heading 253.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 546 feet above ground level (agl).

Upon landing, the aircraft touched down at a speed of 41 knots, which was excessively fast. This indicates that the pilot may have been unable to slow the aircraft down sufficiently before touchdown, resulting in a higher-than-desired touchdown speed. The touchdown rate, however, was smooth at -101 feet per minute (fpm), suggesting that the aircraft's descent was controlled and stable.

One of the major concerns with this landing was the excessive over-target threshold height at 144 feet agl. This indicates that the aircraft was higher than the recommended height at the threshold, which could have made it more difficult for the pilot to control the aircraft during the final stages of the approach. Additionally, the threshold speed was excessively high at 105 knots, which could have put additional stress on the aircraft's landing gear and brakes.

The touchdown point was also very long, using more than 50% of the available runway. This suggests that the pilot may have been unable to stop the aircraft in the remaining runway length, which could have resulted in a longer-than-desired rollout. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.3 meters from the centreline, which could have made it more difficult for the pilot to control the aircraft during the landing.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from 270°. There was no crosswind or headwind, which made the landing conditions relatively straightforward. However, despite the favorable weather conditions, the pilot was still unable to achieve a smooth and controlled landing.
