Work on the flare
See Arrival Landing
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 seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,591 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,591 m of the 1,891 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 521 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 18 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, an Airbus A320, then departed from runway 23R at Manchester Airport (EGCC), with a takeoff distance of 1,233 meters, which was 51% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 150 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions of 24°C temperature and a wind speed of 29 knots at 240°. The crosswind component was 4 knots, while the headwind component was 28 knots. After departing from Manchester, the aircraft began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile north of Mobberley in Cheshire East, England. The climb took 18 minutes, during which the aircraft ascended from 1,236 feet above sea level to 33,891 feet, an increase of 32,654 feet. The distance covered during this climb was 113 nautical miles.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, starting 1 mile south-east of Cholesbury in Buckinghamshire, England. This cruise phase lasted for 60 minutes and covered a distance of 470 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb, this time starting 1 mile north of Kaisheim in Bavaria, Germany. The climb took only 2 minutes, during which the aircraft ascended from 34,343 feet to 36,324 feet, an increase of 1,981 feet. The distance covered during this climb was 14 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting 1 mile south-west of Ehekirchen in Bavaria, Germany. This cruise phase lasted for only 3 minutes and covered a distance of 29 nautical miles. As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its descent, starting overhead Eching in Bavaria, Germany. The descent took 14 minutes, during which the aircraft descended from 36,359 feet to 3,265 feet, a decrease of 33,094 feet. The distance covered during this descent was 62 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 26 at Innsbruck Airport (LOWI) was made from the east, with a heading of 261.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,347 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 26, which had a length of 1,891 meters. The threshold height was above the target, while the threshold speed was slightly above target at 145 knots. The touchdown point was 116 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 136 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was firm at -332 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 26°C temperature and a wind speed of 6 knots at 70°. The crosswind component was 1 knot, while the tailwind component was 6 knots. The total landing distance was 1,521 meters, which was 80% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also very good. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking, which took 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 698 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 112 minutes. The aircraft used 4,803 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at Innsbruck Airport (LOWI) on runway 26, achieving a score of 90.3%. The aircraft approached the runway from the east, heading 261.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,347 feet above ground level (agl). The landing was conducted on a runway with a length of 1,891 meters.
Upon reaching the threshold, the aircraft's height was above the target, indicating a slightly higher than desired approach. The threshold speed was also slightly above the target, reaching 145 knots. Despite these minor deviations, the touchdown point was 116 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively acceptable margin.
The touchdown speed of 136 knots was a bit faster than desired, but the touchdown rate of -332 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, indicating a controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, suggesting that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway during the landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 26°C and a gentle wind of 6 knots at 70°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the tailwind component was 6 knots, which may have contributed to the slightly faster touchdown speed.
The total landing distance of 1,521 meters was 80% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, suggesting that the aircraft maintained its alignment with the runway during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was successful, with only minor deviations from the desired parameters.
