Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a fixed point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline during the roll.
What happened: The aircraft drifted 9.3 m off the runway centreline during the ground roll, and wing drift like that usually keeps reappearing as bank in the climb, with 5.9° of bank in the first climb segment and 3.4° still showing in the second.
Watch for: Heading indicator: steady on the runway centreline during the roll, then wings level through the climb.
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 six checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
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.
The 226 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from EuroAirport Basel-Mulhouse-Freiburg, runway 15, the aircraft began its journey with a taxiing period of 8 minutes, covering 3 nautical miles to reach the runway. Following a successful departure roll, the aircraft lifted off at a speed of 141 knots, utilizing 36% of the 1,002-meter runway. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 5°C, with a gentle headwind of 6 knots from 239°.
As the aircraft climbed to cruising altitude, it traversed through various phases of flight, including enroute climbs and descents. Notably, the initial enroute climb from 1,881 feet above sea level to 23,007 feet above sea level, an increase of 21,126 feet, was achieved in 9 minutes and covered 51 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, lasting 7 minutes and covering 52 nautical miles, before initiating a descent to 13,013 feet above sea level. The final approach to runway 26 at Innsbruck Airport was executed from the east, with a heading of 262.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,363 feet above ground level.
The aircraft landed on runway 26, with a touchdown distance of 227 meters, slightly exceeding the threshold speed of 120 knots. The touchdown speed of 116 knots was a little fast, resulting in a heavy touchdown rate of -690 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, but the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 8.2 meters from the centreline. Following a taxiing period of 2 minutes, covering less than 1 nautical mile, the aircraft came to a stop at the parking area. The total flight distance was 252 nautical miles, taking 60 minutes, and the aircraft consumed 433 kilograms of fuel.
The final approach to runway 26 at LOWI Innsbruck Airport from the east was executed with precision, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 262.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,363 feet above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 120 kt, which was well within the acceptable range. The aircraft touched down at a speed of 116 kt, which was a little fast, but the touchdown distance of 227 meters was good, indicating a well-controlled descent.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft exhibited a heavy touchdown rate of -690 fpm, which may have been due to the slight excess speed. However, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft centered on the runway. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 9°C and a wind of 18 kt at 70°, contributed to a tailwind component of 18 kt, which may have influenced the touchdown speed and rate. The total landing distance of 1,073 meters, which accounted for 57% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits.
During the rollout phase, the aircraft's alignment was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 8.2 meters, which may have been due to a slight deviation in control inputs. Despite this, the overall landing performance was satisfactory, with a score of 92.7%. The pilot's skills and experience were evident in the execution of the approach and landing, and the aircraft's performance was consistent with its capabilities.
