Hold the approach angle
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: 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 3,082 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 207 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft, an Airbus A319, taxiing from the parking area to the runway at LOWI Innsbruck Airport. This process took 7 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 08, and the takeoff distance was 930 meters, which accounted for 49% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 137 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 9 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 2 knots at 151 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 1 knot. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead LOWI Innsbruck Airport and rising from 2,910 feet above sea level to 9,223 feet above sea level, an increase of 6,313 feet in just 3 minutes, covering a distance of 9 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started overhead Fritzens, Austria, and lasted for 3 minutes, covering a distance of 16 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute climb, this time from 9,173 feet above sea level to 33,628 feet above sea level, an increase of 24,455 feet in 12 minutes, covering a distance of 65 nautical miles. The next enroute level cruise started 2 miles north east of Altomunster, Germany, and lasted for 59 minutes, covering a distance of 170 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its enroute descent, starting 2 miles north east of Runkel, Germany, and descending from 34,365 feet above sea level to 2,076 feet above sea level, a decrease of 32,289 feet in 25 minutes, covering a distance of 139 nautical miles. The final enroute level cruise started 1 mile south east of Overijse, Belgium, and lasted for 8 minutes, covering a distance of 10 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 07R at EBBR Brussels Airport, coming in from the west at a heading of 73.0 degrees and 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing took place on runway 07R, which had a length of 3,082 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 121 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 208 meters, and the touchdown speed was 113 knots, which was also satisfactory.
However, the touchdown rate was very hard at -510 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.1 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 11 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 18 knots at 79 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 17 knots. The total landing distance was 667 meters, which accounted for 22% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took 7 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 416 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 94 minutes. The aircraft used 3,130 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A319 successfully landed at Brussels Airport (EBBR) on runway 07R, achieving a score of 95.7%. The aircraft approached the runway from the west, heading 73.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,592 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a precise final approach, taking into account the local weather conditions, which included a temperature of 11°C and a wind speed of 18 kt at 79°.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 121 kt, which was within the acceptable threshold speed. The touchdown distance of 208 meters was also satisfactory, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. However, the touchdown rate was quite hard, at -510 feet per minute (fpm), which may have caused some stress on the aircraft's landing gear.
Despite the hard touchdown rate, the aircraft's runway touchdown position was only slightly misaligned from the centreline by 3.1 meters. This suggests that the pilot maintained good control and alignment during the final stages of the approach. The local weather conditions, with a headwind of 17 kt and a crosswind of 3 kt, did not appear to significantly impact the landing.
The total landing distance of 667 meters was 22% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. This indicates that the pilot executed a precise and controlled approach, resulting in a smooth and efficient landing. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control and stability during the post-landing phase. Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft touching down safely and efficiently on the runway.
