Flight Score
Departure
Raise the gear lever promptly once a positive climb is confirmed, before reaching the target retraction height.
What happened: Gear retraction was delayed, with the gear not coming up until 999 ft agl.
Watch for: Landing gear: up by the normal retraction gate
Arrival
Wait for the normal flare band and the correct speed before raising the nose, rather than starting the flare at 72 ft.
What happened: The flare began at 72 ft, 27 ft above the normal band, and the touchdown followed at 353 fpm. Starting the flare this early usually carries through to a firmer arrival than a flare begun in the normal band.
Watch for: Radio altimeter: hold the flare start within the normal flare band
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 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
At the 1,000 ft gate: speed 57 kt FAST on the reference speed of 118 kt.
At the 500 ft gate: speed 24 kt FAST on the reference speed of 118 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,934 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 439 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Airbus A320 taxied from the parking area to runway 04R at LFMN Nice-Côte d’Azur Airport in 7 minutes, covering 2 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 04R, the aircraft used 1,223 m of runway (41 % of the available length) and lifted off at 150 kt; ambient temperature was 16 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 270°, a cross-wind component of 1 kt and a tail-wind component of 1 kt.
Climb commenced overhead Nice, rising from 953 ft asl to 32 000 ft asl - an increase of 31 048 ft - in 11 minutes while covering 65 nm.
The first cruise segment began 6 mi east of Varigotti, Italy, and lasted 10 minutes, during which 76 nm were flown.
Descent started 1 mi west of Guardamiglio, Italy, descending from 31 477 ft asl to 15 007 ft asl - a loss of 16 470 ft - in 8 minutes over 54 nm.
A second cruise phase originated 1 mi south-west of Ponte Caffaro, Italy, lasting 7 minutes and covering 41 nm.
The next descent began 7 mi south-east of Solda, Italy, dropping from 15 000 ft asl to 13 998 ft asl - a decrease of 1 002 ft - in 2 minutes while traveling 9 nm.
A brief cruise followed 1 mi north of Silandro, Italy, lasting 2 minutes and encompassing 9 nm.
Descent continued 6 mi north-west of Madonna, Italy, from 14 002 ft asl to 13 041 ft asl - a loss of 960 ft - in 2 minutes, covering 9 nm.
The subsequent cruise segment started 3 mi south of Kaunertal, Austria, and lasted 5 minutes, during which 25 nm were covered.
Descent resumed 2 mi north-west of Tarrenz, Austria, from 13 001 ft asl to 3 409 ft asl - a reduction of 9 592 ft - in 5 minutes, covering 23 nm.
Final approach to runway 08 at LOWI Innsbruck Airport was conducted from the west, on a heading of 79.0°, at 3 nm and 1 498 ft agl; local weather reported a temperature of 17 °C, wind 2 kt from 269°, with no cross-wind and a tail-wind component of 2 kt.
Landing on runway 08, which is 1 892 m long, occurred with a threshold speed of 122 kt; the touchdown point was 110 m beyond the touchdown zone, touchdown speed was 116 kt, and the vertical speed at touchdown was minus 354 fpm. Runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The rollout distance measured 1 134 m, representing 60 % of the runway, and rollout alignment was very good.
Taxi-in from the runway to the parking area required 1 minute and covered less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 317 nm, lasted 61 minutes, and consumed 1 955 kg of fuel.
The Airbus A320 approached runway 08 at LOWI Innsbruck Airport from the west on a heading of 79.0° at 3 nm and 1,498 ft agl, with a final-approach score of 95.4 %. The approach was assessed as unstable at the 1,000 ft gate because the sink rate was too high.
During the threshold and flare the aircraft maintained a good threshold height, while the threshold speed was slightly above target at 122 kt.
Touchdown occurred 110 m beyond the touchdown zone with a speed of 116 kt that was a little fast; the touchdown rate was firm at minus 354 fpm and runway-touchdown alignment was very good.
The rollout covered a total landing distance of 1,134 m, representing 60 % of the 1,892 m runway, and runway-rollout alignment remained very good.
Refine the approach to achieve a stabilised sink rate by the 1,000 ft gate and reduce touchdown speed toward the target to lessen the firm rate, which will further improve the already high score.
