Work on the flare
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.
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 554 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, an Airbus A321, then departed from runway 23 at EDDH Hamburg Helmut Schmidt Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,754 meters, which accounted for 63% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 168 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of 20°C, with a wind speed of 10 knots at 159 degrees.
As the aircraft climbed, it started its enroute climb 1 mile north west of Hamburg-Nord, Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg, Germany. The climb took 25 minutes, during which the aircraft ascended from 1,034 feet above sea level to 36,551 feet above sea level, an increase of 35,517 feet. The enroute climb covered a distance of 156 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, which started 1 mile south of Vogelsberg, Thuringia, Germany. This cruise phase lasted for 21 minutes and covered a distance of 158 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent 2 miles south east of Loiching, Bavaria, Germany. The descent took 19 minutes, during which the aircraft descended from 36,029 feet above sea level to 3,802 feet above sea level, a decrease of 32,228 feet. The enroute descent covered a distance of 90 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started overhead Ampass, Tirol, Austria. This cruise phase lasted for 4 minutes and covered a distance of 7 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 08 at LOWI Innsbruck Airport from the west, heading 82.0 degrees at 2 nautical miles and 834 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 08 at LOWI Innsbruck Airport was successful, with the aircraft touching down 145 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 146 knots, which was slightly faster than the target speed. The touchdown rate was fair at -251 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 18°C, with a wind speed of 11 knots at 80 degrees.
The total landing distance was 1,285 meters, which accounted for 68% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating a smooth and controlled landing. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 417 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 79 minutes. The aircraft used 3,987 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A321 aircraft successfully landed at Innsbruck Airport (LOWI) with a score of 97.4%. The final approach was conducted from the west, heading 82.0° at 2 nautical miles and 834 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft was on a steady course for a landing on runway 08, which has a length of 1,891 meters.
Upon reaching the threshold, the aircraft was slightly above the target height at 58 feet agl. However, the threshold speed was well above the target at 154 knots, indicating a high level of control and precision from the pilots. The touchdown point was 145 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which may be considered a minor deviation but still within acceptable limits.
The touchdown speed of 146 knots was faster than the target, resulting in a touchdown rate of -251 feet per minute, which was deemed fair. This suggests that the pilots may have been able to recover from the high touchdown speed, but could have potentially improved the landing by reducing the speed.
The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilots maintained a stable and controlled approach. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 18°C and a headwind of 11 knots at 80°. The crosswind was negligible, with a speed of 0 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,285 meters, which is 68% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the pilots were able to maintain control and precision throughout the approach. The runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilots were able to smoothly transition from the landing to the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft touching down safely and the pilots demonstrating a high level of skill and control. However, there were some minor deviations from the target parameters, which could be addressed in future training sessions to further improve the landing performance.
