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 1,891 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 520 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 6 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 29 at LOWW Vienna International Airport, with a takeoff distance of 812 meters, which accounted for 23% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 150 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 2 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 26 knots blowing from a direction of 309 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 6 knots and a headwind of 25 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile west of the airport and rising from an altitude of 1,658 feet above sea level to 28,321 feet above sea level, an increase of 26,663 feet, in 18 minutes and covering a distance of 100 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise phase began overhead Pettenbach, Austria, and lasted for 2 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 16 nautical miles. The enroute descent phase started 4 miles southeast of Weyregg, Austria, and involved a descent from 28,810 feet above sea level to 3,707 feet above sea level, a decrease of 25,103 feet, in 17 minutes and covering a distance of 97 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 26 at LOWI Innsbruck Airport was made from the east, with the aircraft heading 262.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,760 feet above ground level and a distance of 2 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was made on runway 26, which had a length of 1,891 meters. The threshold height was good, but the threshold speed was excessively high at 174 knots.
The touchdown point was 113 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 158 knots, which was too fast. The touchdown rate was hard at -489 feet per minute. Additionally, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 7.7 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -4 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 11 knots blowing from a direction of 290 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 5 knots and a headwind of 10 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,425 meters, which accounted for 75% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 12.4 meters from the centerline. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area from the runway, a process that took 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 219 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 46 minutes. The aircraft used 1,336 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The aircraft in question, an E195, successfully landed at Innsbruck Airport (LOWI) on runway 26. However, the landing was not without its issues. The final approach was initiated from the east, heading 262.0° at 2 nautical miles and 1,760 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down 113 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a significant deviation from the intended landing spot.
Upon further analysis, it appears that the threshold speed was excessively high at 174 knots, which is likely a contributing factor to the touchdown point being beyond the designated zone. Additionally, the touchdown speed of 158 knots was also too fast, resulting in a hard touchdown rate of -489 feet per minute. This excessive speed and rate of descent likely contributed to the aircraft's misaligned touchdown position, which was 7.7 meters off the centerline of the runway.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were quite challenging, with a temperature of -4°C and a wind speed of 11 knots from 290°. This resulted in a crosswind of 5 knots and a headwind of 10 knots, which may have further complicated the landing. Despite these conditions, the aircraft was able to land safely, albeit with some issues.
The total landing distance was 1,425 meters, which is 75% of the runway length. This is a relatively long landing distance, indicating that the aircraft may have been slowed down more than necessary during the approach. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 12.4 meters from the centerline, which is another indication of the challenges faced during the landing.
Overall, while the landing was successful, there are several areas for improvement, including reducing the threshold speed, touchdown speed, and rate of descent. Additionally, the pilots may need to work on maintaining a more accurate alignment with the centerline of the runway during the rollout phase.
