Flight Score
Departure
Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.
What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 14°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
Arrival
Begin raising the nose earlier, by 11 ft, so the flare has time to arrest the sink before touchdown.
What happened: The flare began late at 0.6 ft, 11 ft below the normal band, and a late flare like this usually leaves too little time to arrest the sink before touchdown.
Watch for: Watch radio altitude and start the flare in the normal band, around 11 ft.
Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

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 305 m and 152 m above the runway.
At the 305 m gate: speed below the reference speed.
At the 152 m gate: off the centreline and speed below the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,572 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 151 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft, an Airbus A320, taxiing from its parking spot to the runway at LOWW Vienna International Airport. This process took approximately 5 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 29, and the takeoff distance was 1,699 meters, which is 49% of the runway's length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 160 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of Vienna, it began its enroute climb 1 mile west of the airport, reaching an altitude of 10,654 meters above sea level. This climb, which lasted 20 minutes, covered a distance of 117 nautical miles and resulted in an increase of 10,205.1 meters in altitude. The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 18 degrees Celsius.
The enroute level cruise phase of the flight began overhead LHTA Taszár Air Base in Hungary and lasted for 29 minutes. During this time, the aircraft covered a distance of 395 nautical miles. The descent phase of the flight started 3 miles south of Krya Vrysi in Greece and lasted 21 minutes, covering a distance of 105 nautical miles. The aircraft descended from an altitude of 10,518 meters above sea level to 276 meters above sea level, resulting in a decrease of 10,242.6 meters in altitude.
The final approach to runway 01 at LGSK Skiathos Island National Airport was made from the south, with the aircraft heading 16.0 degrees at an altitude of 262.1 meters above ground level and a distance of 3 nautical miles from the runway. The landing on runway 01 was successful, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 134 knots and a distance of 149 meters. However, the touchdown rate was very hard at -2.7 meters per second, and the runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned by 21.2 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 32 degrees Celsius. The total landing distance was 1,154 meters, which is 73% of the runway's length. The runway rollout alignment was also misaligned by 19.7 meters from the centerline. The total flight distance was 622 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 76 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 3,948 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 aircraft has successfully landed at LGSK Skiathos Island National Airport, but with some notable issues. The final approach to runway 01 was conducted from the south, heading 16.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 262.1 meters above ground level. The aircraft touched down on the runway, which has a length of 1,572 meters, and the threshold height was reported as good.
The threshold speed of 134 knots was also within the acceptable range, indicating that the pilot had maintained control and was on track for a smooth landing. However, the touchdown distance of 149 meters was slightly longer than expected, and the touchdown speed of 134 knots was also slightly higher than the ideal speed. The touchdown rate of -2.7 meters per second was reported as very hard, which may indicate that the aircraft was experiencing a high rate of descent at the moment of touchdown.
One of the major issues with this landing was the significant misalignment of the runway touchdown position, which was off-centerline by 21.2 meters. This could have been due to a variety of factors, including pilot error or a navigation issue. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were hot, with a temperature of 32°C, which may have affected the aircraft's performance.
The total landing distance of 1,154 meters was 73% of the runway length, which is within the acceptable range. However, the runway rollout alignment was also misaligned by 19.7 meters from the centerline, which could have been due to the same issues that caused the initial touchdown misalignment. Overall, while the landing was successful, there were some notable issues that need to be addressed to improve the safety and efficiency of future landings at LGSK Skiathos Island National Airport.
