Hold the approach angle
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.

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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,973 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 322 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with taxiing from the parking to the runway at LOWW Vienna International Airport, taking 5 minutes and covering 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 16, with a takeoff distance of 847 meters, which was 24% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 142 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of 21 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 15 knots at 200 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 9 knots and a headwind of 12 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead Klein-Neusiedl in Austria, and climbed from 1,667 feet above sea level to 37,267 feet above sea level, an increase of 35,600 feet in 21 minutes, covering 134 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started overhead Hidas in Hungary and lasted for 70 minutes, covering 517 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 16 miles north of AG13 Amphibious Ready Group in Greece, and descended from 38,290 feet above sea level to 14,564 feet above sea level, a decrease of 23,726 feet in 9 minutes, covering 62 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 1 mile west of Mesta in Greece and lasted for 3 minutes, covering 20 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 14 miles southeast of Nenita in Greece, and descended from 14,355 feet above sea level to 2,794 feet above sea level, a decrease of 11,561 feet in 9 minutes, covering 39 nautical miles.
The final enroute level cruise started overhead Pythagoreio in Greece and lasted for 8 minutes, covering 2 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 27 at LGSM Samos Airport, approaching from the east at a heading of 277.0 degrees, 3 nautical miles from the runway and 1,782 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 27 at LGSM Samos Airport was successful, with a touchdown distance of 322 meters, which was good. The touchdown speed was 112 knots, and the touchdown rate was firm at -361 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 9 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 32 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 4 knots at 259 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 4 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,004 meters, which was 51% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 13.5 meters from the centerline. The aircraft then taxied to the parking from the runway, taking 2 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 782 nautical miles, taking 128 minutes, and the aircraft used 3,629 kilograms of fuel.
The aircraft in question, an E195, successfully landed at LGSM Samos Airport, achieving a score of 92.5%. The final approach was conducted from the east, heading 277.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,782 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft landed on runway 27, which has a length of 1,973 meters.
The threshold height was reported as good, and the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 119 knots. The touchdown distance was also good, measuring 322 meters. The touchdown speed of 112 knots was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown rate of -361 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, indicating a controlled descent.
However, there were some minor issues with the landing. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 9.0 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to factors such as wind or pilot error. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 32°C and a wind speed of 4 knots from 259°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 4 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,004 meters, which accounted for 51% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was able to touch down and come to a stop within a reasonable distance. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 13.5 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to the same factors that caused the initial touchdown position to be off-center.
Overall, the landing was successful, but there were some minor issues that need to be addressed to improve the aircraft's performance and safety.
