Slow the descent speed
Below 10,000 ft you are typically limited to 250 kt indicated (a US rule that much of the world mirrors in some form, though not universally). This forces a deceleration around 10,000 ft whether the profile wants one or not, so plan for it rather than discovering 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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,602 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 452 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in the Airbus A320 began with a taxi from the parking area to the runway at EDDF Frankfurt Airport, covering 4 nm in 9 minutes. The departure took place from runway 18, with a takeoff distance of 1,282 m (32% of the runway) at a liftoff speed of 160 kn. The local weather conditions at the time included a temperature of 6 °C, with a 6 kn wind coming from 200 ° resulting in a 2 kn crosswind, and a 5 kn headwind.
The enroute climb began 2 miles west of Moerfelden-Walldorf in Hessen, Germany, with the aircraft climbing from 1,352 ft asl to 26,694 ft asl, covering 72 nm in 14 minutes. The enroute level cruise started near Ilshofen in Baden-Wuerttemberg, Germany, and lasted 39 minutes, covering 176 nm.
The enroute descent started over Oberneukirchen in Oberoesterreich, Austria, with the aircraft descending from 26,642 ft asl to 4,662 ft asl, covering 107 nm in 25 minutes. Another enroute level cruise commenced near Oggau in Burgenland, Austria, lasting 2 minutes and covering 2 nm. Shortly afterwards, the descent began 1 mile southeast of Donnerskirchen in Burgenland, Austria, descending from 4,144 ft asl to 2,995 ft asl over 6 nm in 2 minutes.
The landing took place on runway 34 at LOWW Vienna International Airport, with a runway length of 3,602 m. The aircraft approached with a height of 41 ft agl and a speed of 138 kn. Touchdown occurred 451 m from the threshold at a speed of 133 kn and a VSI of -207 ft/m. The local weather conditions at the time included a temperature of 5 °C, with a 5 kn wind coming from 340 ° resulting in a 0 kn crosswind and a 5 kn headwind. The total landing distance covered was 1,377 m, which equated to 38% of the runway length.
Finally, the taxi from the runway to the parking area took 6 minutes and covered 1 nm. The total flight distance for the journey was 377 nm, with a total flight time of 82 minutes and fuel utilization of 3,343 kg.
First and foremost, congratulations on achieving a remarkable aircraft landing score of 99.8%! This is truly an outstanding accomplishment and reflects the high level of skill and proficiency in executing the landing phases.
Let's delve deeper into the analysis of each phase to highlight the key strengths exhibited during the landing:
During the Approach Phase, it was noted that there was excellent glideslope alignment. This indicates that the descent path of the aircraft was precisely controlled, resulting in a smooth and accurate approach towards the runway. Maintaining proper glideslope alignment is crucial for a safe and effective landing, and your ability to achieve this with excellence is commendable.
Moving on to the Landing Phase, it is evident that the performance was exemplary. The good threshold height suggests that the aircraft approached the runway at the correct altitude, enabling a smooth transition to the landing. Additionally, the perfect landing flare signifies a precise and well-timed application of the flare maneuver, leading to a graceful touchdown on the runway. These elements are essential for a successful landing and your execution of them was spot-on.
In the Touchdown Phase, while the touchdown rate was fair, the overall performance was still impressive. The slightly above target speed may have impacted the touchdown rate slightly, but the touchdown distance inside the touchdown zone and the runway touchdown position being very good indicate a high level of accuracy and control during this critical phase of the landing process.
Finally, in the Rollout Phase, it is noted that the runway alignment was very good. Maintaining proper runway alignment during the rollout is crucial for ensuring a safe and efficient exit from the runway. Your ability to achieve very good runway alignment further demonstrates your skill and proficiency in handling the aircraft during the landing.
In conclusion, your aircraft landing score of 99.8% is a testament to your exceptional flying abilities and dedication to excellence. Your strong performance in each phase of the landing process showcases your precision, control, and proficiency as a pilot. Keep up the great work and continue striving for excellence in all your future landings!
