Work on the flare
See Arrival Landing
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.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,891 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 199 m touchdown sits inside 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 11 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft then departed from runway 27 at EDVK Kassel Airport, with a takeoff distance of 651 meters, which accounted for 26% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 136 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 24 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 13 knots at a direction of 300 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 5 knots and a headwind of 11 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead EDVK Kassel Airport Calden, and climbed from an altitude of 1,875 feet above sea level to 37,043 feet above sea level, an increase of 35,168 feet, in 13 minutes and covering a distance of 76 nautical miles.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, starting 2 miles west of Grossbardorf in Bavaria, Germany, and lasted for 11 minutes, covering a distance of 92 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 2 miles north-west of EDNJ Neuburg-Egweil Airfield Egweil, and descended from 37,371 feet above sea level to 9,515 feet above sea level, a decrease of 27,855 feet, in 13 minutes and covering a distance of 82 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting 2 miles north of Brandenberg in Tirol, Austria, and lasted for 3 minutes, covering a distance of 10 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting overhead Schlitters in Tirol, Austria, and descended from 9,475 feet above sea level to 3,272 feet above sea level, a decrease of 6,203 feet, in 6 minutes and covering a distance of 17 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 26 at LOWI Innsbruck Airport was made from the east, with a heading of 262.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,357 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 26 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 201 meters, which was good, and a touchdown speed of 118 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was very hard at -529 feet per minute, but the runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 19 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 4 knots at a direction of 260 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 0 knots and a headwind of 4 knots. The total landing distance was 1,190 meters, which accounted for 63% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 4 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 284 nautical miles, taking 58 minutes, and the aircraft used 899 kilograms of fuel.
Aircraft C750 successfully landed at LOWI Innsbruck Airport, achieving a score of 96.0%. The final approach to runway 26 was conducted from the east, with a heading of 262.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,357 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft demonstrated good control during the landing, with a threshold height that was satisfactory. The threshold speed was also within acceptable limits at 117 knots. However, the touchdown speed of 118 knots was slightly higher than desired, indicating that the pilot may have been able to flare the aircraft more effectively to achieve a smoother touchdown.
The touchdown distance of 201 meters was within the acceptable range, but the touchdown rate of -529 feet per minute (fpm) was considered very hard. This suggests that the aircraft may have touched down with a significant amount of energy, which could have put additional stress on the landing gear and potentially affected the overall safety of the landing.
Despite the slightly hard touchdown, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot had maintained control of the aircraft during the final stages of the approach. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 19°C and a gentle headwind of 4 knots from a direction of 260°.
The total landing distance of 1,190 meters was 63% of the available runway length, which is a relatively short distance. This suggests that the pilot had made effective use of the available runway and had been able to bring the aircraft to a stop in a relatively short distance. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the pilot had maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase of the landing.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft demonstrating good control and a satisfactory touchdown. However, the slightly hard touchdown and high touchdown speed suggest that the pilot may have been able to improve their technique to achieve an even smoother and safer landing.
