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 837 ft agl.
Watch for: Landing gear: up by the normal retraction gate
Arrival
Keep the back pressure coming once the flare is established, holding the nose up through to touchdown instead of easing it.
What happened: The flare arrested the sink but 276 fpm of it came back before touchdown, and in flights like this one that returning sink usually carries through to a firm or hard touchdown at 485 fpm.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: the sink held near zero all the way through touchdown, not allowed to build back up.
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: centreline 5.1° off, against a 1° limit.
At the 500 ft gate: sink rate 2,050 fpm, more than the glideslope needed and glideslope 4.7° against the runway's 3.5°.
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.
Touched down 567 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Nice-Côte d'Azur Airport, the Airbus A319 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took approximately 8 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. As the aircraft lined up on runway 22L, the local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 17 °C and a gentle wind of 2 knots from 270 degrees, resulting in a negligible crosswind and headwind.
After a successful departure roll, the aircraft began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile south of Saint-Laurent-du-Var, France. The climb phase was characterized by a steady increase in altitude, from 1,015 feet above sea level to 34,009 feet, a gain of 32,994 feet in just 18 minutes, covering a distance of 121 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, lasting 14 minutes and covering 109 nautical miles, before beginning its descent towards Innsbruck Airport. The descent phase was initiated 3 miles east of Vals Platz, Switzerland, and the aircraft descended from 33,985 feet to 13,420 feet in just 9 minutes, covering 64 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached Innsbruck Airport, it entered a final level cruise phase, lasting 3 minutes and covering 16 nautical miles, before beginning its final descent. The aircraft touched down on runway 08 at Innsbruck Airport, with a touchdown speed of 123 knots and a touchdown rate of -407 feet per minute. The total landing distance was 1,137 meters, or 60% of the runway length. After a smooth taxiing process, the aircraft arrived at the parking area, having completed a total flight distance of 349 nautical miles, using 2,743 kilograms of fuel in the process, and taking a total of 67 minutes to complete the journey.
The final approach to runway 08 at LOWI Innsbruck Airport from the west was conducted at a heading of 89.0°, 2 nautical miles from the threshold and at an altitude of 1,102 feet above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height and a slight deviation in threshold speed, which was 136 knots, slightly above the target. The aircraft maintained a steady descent, touching down at a speed of 123 knots, which was within the acceptable range.
The touchdown characteristics were generally good, with a hard touchdown rate of -407 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 3.3 meters. The local weather conditions were calm, with a temperature of 15°C and a gentle tailwind of 2 knots. The aircraft's performance was not significantly affected by the crosswind, which was negligible at 0 knots. The total landing distance was 1,137 meters, accounting for 60% of the runway length.
The rollout phase was also satisfactory, with the aircraft maintaining a steady alignment on the runway. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 12.3 meters. Despite this minor deviation, the overall landing performance was good, with a score of 91.6%. The slight misalignment during the rollout phase was the only notable deviation from an otherwise smooth and controlled landing.
