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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,593 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 857 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 area to the runway, which took 4 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Cockspur C510, then departed from runway 26 at Linz-Hörsching Airport / Vogler Air Base. The takeoff distance was 606 meters, which accounted for 23% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 99 knots, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 16°C, a wind speed of 1 knot at 270°, with no crosswind and a headwind of 1 knot.
As the aircraft climbed, it started its enroute climb overhead Oftering, Austria, rising from an altitude of 2,008 feet above sea level to 5,482 feet above sea level. This increase of 3,474 feet was achieved in just 3 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles. The climb was a smooth and efficient one, allowing the aircraft to reach its cruising altitude quickly.
After reaching its cruising altitude, the aircraft began its enroute descent overhead Goldwoerth, Austria. The descent from 5,447 feet above sea level to 1,570 feet above sea level was a decrease of 3,877 feet, achieved in 4 minutes and covering a distance of 8 nautical miles. This descent was also a smooth and controlled one, allowing the aircraft to reach its final approach altitude without any issues.
The final approach to runway 26 at Linz-Hörsching Airport / Vogler Air Base was made from the east, heading 266.0° at an altitude of 594 feet above ground level and a distance of 2 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was made on runway 26, which had a length of 2,593 meters. The threshold height at 69 feet above ground level was above the target, and the threshold speed was well above the target at 106 knots.
The touchdown point was 426 meters beyond the touchdown zone, indicating that the aircraft landed slightly beyond the intended point. The touchdown speed was 87 knots, which was faster than the target speed. However, the touchdown rate was smooth at -103 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions during the landing were characterized by a temperature of 15°C, a wind speed of 1 knot at 269°, with no crosswind and a headwind of 1 knot.
The total landing distance was 1,141 meters, which accounted for 44% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft came to a stop smoothly and safely. The total flight distance was 19 nautical miles, and the flight took 12 minutes to complete. The aircraft used 64 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Cockspur C510 aircraft successfully landed at LOWL Linz-Hörsching Airport / Vogler Air Base, with a final approach from the east. The aircraft was at an altitude of 594 feet above ground level (agl) and 2 nautical miles from the runway when it began its descent. The heading was 266.0°, which is aligned with the runway 26.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down 426 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a significant distance. The touchdown speed was 87 knots, which is faster than the target speed. However, the touchdown rate was smooth at -103 feet per minute (fpm), indicating a controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, which suggests that the pilot maintained a stable and aligned approach.
The local weather conditions were favorable for landing, with a temperature of 15°C and a gentle headwind of 1 knot. The wind direction was 269°, which is close to the runway heading, minimizing the impact of crosswind. The crosswind component was negligible at 0 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,141 meters, which is 44% of the runway length. This is a relatively long landing distance, but it is not uncommon for aircraft with high approach speeds. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, but there are areas for improvement, particularly in terms of touchdown speed and distance from the touchdown zone. The pilot's ability to maintain a smooth touchdown rate and perfect runway alignment is commendable, and with further practice, the aircraft can achieve more precise landings.
