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.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
Side view — the last 2,161 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,161 m of the 3,494 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 772 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 7 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 31L at Budapest Liszt Ferenc International Airport, with a takeoff distance of 1,224 meters, which is 41% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 141 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of the airport, it began its enroute climb 1 mile west of the airport, rising from an altitude of 1,454 feet above sea level to 15,540 feet above sea level, an increase of 14,086 feet in just 6 minutes, covering a distance of 25 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 2 miles south east of Bodmér-Felcsút Airfield and lasted for 9 minutes, covering a distance of 47 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent 2 miles north of Abda, descending from 15,640 feet above sea level to 1,899 feet above sea level, a decrease of 13,740 feet in 13 minutes, covering a distance of 43 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started again overhead Enzersdorf an der Fischa, lasting for 7 minutes and covering a distance of 3 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 29 at Vienna International Airport was made from the south east, heading 290.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,223 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 29 was successful, with a touchdown point 351 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 121 knots, which was good, and the touchdown rate was also good at -173 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.6 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 14 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 7 knots at 320 degrees. The crosswind was 3 knots, and the headwind was 6 knots. The total landing distance was 2,075 meters, which is 59% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
After landing, the aircraft took 14 minutes to taxi to the parking from the runway, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 125 nautical miles, taking 44 minutes, and the aircraft used 1,331 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The aircraft in question, an E195, successfully landed at Vienna International Airport (LOWW) on runway 29. The final approach was initiated from the southeast, heading 290.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,223 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's performance during the landing was satisfactory, with a threshold speed of 133 knots, which is within the acceptable range.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was 121 knots, which is also within the target range. The touchdown rate of -173 feet per minute (fpm) was good, indicating a controlled descent. However, the touchdown point was 351 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which may indicate a slight deviation from the intended landing path.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.6 meters from the centerline, which may be attributed to factors such as wind or pilot error. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were moderate, with a temperature of 14°C and a wind speed of 7 knots from 320°. The crosswind component was minimal at 3 knots, while the headwind component was 6 knots, which may have contributed to the slight deviation from the centerline.
The total landing distance of 2,075 meters was 59% of the runway length, which is within the acceptable range. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively, allowing for a controlled deceleration.
Overall, the landing was satisfactory, with the aircraft's performance meeting the target parameters. However, the slight deviation from the centerline and the touchdown point beyond the designated zone may indicate areas for improvement in the pilot's technique or the aircraft's handling characteristics.
