Departure
Hold the nose down a touch longer and let speed build to 156 kt before liftoff.
What happened: The aircraft lifted off at 137 kt, 19 kt below the 156 kt target.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 156 kt at liftoff

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.
One stabilised approach gate: seven 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.
At the 500 ft gate: wings not level.
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.
Touched down 585 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Airbus A321 taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Innsbruck Airport, taking approximately 9 minutes to cover a distance of 2 nautical miles. Once on the runway, the aircraft departed from runway 08, with a takeoff distance of 1,147 meters, which accounted for 61% of the runway's length. The liftoff speed was recorded at 137 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of Innsbruck, it began its enroute climb, reaching an altitude of 3,766 feet above sea level from an initial height of 2,898 feet. This climb of 868 feet took place over a distance of 2 nautical miles in just 1 minute. The enroute climb phase concluded as the aircraft passed overhead Lans in the Tirol region of Austria.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 3 minutes and covered a distance of 5 nautical miles. This phase of the flight took place over the Lans area.
As the aircraft began its final approach to runway 08 at Innsbruck Airport, it was heading in a westerly direction at an altitude of 762 feet above ground level. The aircraft was 2 nautical miles from the runway threshold at this point.
The landing on runway 08 was executed with a runway length of 1,891 meters. Although the threshold height was slightly above the target, the threshold speed was also slightly above the target at 149 knots. The touchdown point was located 168 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was recorded at 139 knots, which was a little fast. However, the touchdown rate was fair at -212 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions during the landing phase were characterized by a temperature of 13 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 359 degrees. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was zero.
The Airbus A321 aircraft successfully landed at Innsbruck Airport (LOWI) with a score of 95.1%. The final approach to runway 08 was initiated from the west, heading 80.0° at an altitude of 762 feet above ground level (agl) and 2 nautical miles from the runway. The aircraft maintained a steady descent, aligning itself with the runway for a smooth touchdown.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down 168 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is slightly outside the optimal landing area. The touchdown speed of 139 knots was a bit faster than the target speed, indicating that the pilot may have applied a bit more braking or reverse thrust than necessary. However, the touchdown rate of -212 feet per minute (fpm) was considered fair, suggesting that the aircraft was able to slow down relatively quickly after touchdown.
The runway touchdown alignment was reported to be very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline during the landing. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 13°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from 359°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind component and a headwind of 0 knots, making the landing conditions favorable.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft touching down safely and the pilot demonstrating good control and alignment with the runway. However, there is room for improvement in terms of touchdown speed and alignment with the designated touchdown zone.
