Flight Score
Departure
Ease back pressure in smoothly as you approach 152 kt, holding a steady rotation rate rather than snatching the controls.
What happened: On the takeoff roll the aircraft bounced before becoming fully airborne.
Watch for: Attitude indicator: a smooth, continuous pitch-up through liftoff with no secondary bounce.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Begin the flare with progressive back pressure and keep it coming until the sink is arrested, rather than flying it on flat.
What happened: The nose was barely raised in the flare and little of the sink was taken out, flying the aircraft onto the runway. This pattern usually carries through to a firm touchdown with a noticeable sink rate.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a smoothly reducing sink through the normal flare band, not a steady rate into the runway.
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 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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,990 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 443 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Tivat Airport (LYTV), the Boeing 737-900 began its journey with a taxiing phase that lasted 7 minutes and covered 2 nautical miles. As the aircraft reached the runway, it initiated its departure roll on runway 32, utilizing 59% of the available runway length. The takeoff distance was 1,471 meters, and the aircraft lifted off at a speed of 153 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of Tivat, it reached an altitude of 34,167 feet above sea level, an increase of 33,137 feet from its initial altitude of 1,031 feet. This climb phase, which lasted 20 minutes, covered a distance of 111 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, maintaining an altitude of 34,167 feet as it flew southeast of Kacuni, Bosnia and Herzegovina. This cruise phase lasted 93 minutes and covered 253 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, reducing its altitude to 13,017 feet above sea level in 16 minutes, covering a distance of 72 nautical miles. Following a brief level cruise phase near Hopfgarten im Brixental, Austria, the aircraft continued its descent, reducing its altitude to 3,549 feet above sea level in 9 minutes, covering a distance of 32 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached Innsbruck Airport (LOWI), it initiated its final approach to runway 26 from the east, maintaining a heading of 261.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,632 feet above ground level. The aircraft landed on the runway, utilizing 70% of the available runway length. The touchdown distance was 443 meters, and the touchdown speed was 140 knots, both of which were within acceptable limits. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area, completing its journey in 89 minutes and covering a total distance of 476 nautical miles. The flight utilized 4,369 kilograms of fuel.
The Boeing 737-900 touched down on runway 26 at LOWI Innsbruck Airport with a score of 96.2%. The aircraft approached the runway from the east, heading 261.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,632 feet above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a threshold height slightly above the target of 60 feet above ground level. However, the threshold speed was good at 147 knots, indicating a well-controlled descent.
The touchdown characteristics were also good, with a touchdown distance of 443 meters and a touchdown speed of 140 knots. Although the touchdown rate was hard at -404 feet per minute, it was within acceptable limits. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft centered on the runway. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 22°C and a gentle headwind of 1 knot from 243°.
The total landing distance was 1,325 meters, which was 70% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, with the aircraft maintaining its centerline alignment throughout the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was well-executed, with the aircraft touching down smoothly and rolling out safely. The score of 96.2% reflects the high level of proficiency demonstrated by the pilot during the landing.
