Flight Score
Departure
Start bringing the nose up as the speed reaches 127 kt, not after it.
What happened: You started the rotation at 158 kt, 31 kt past the 127 kt rotation speed.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 127 kt at rotation
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Reduce power earlier on final so speed is back to 116 kt before the gate, not after it.
What happened: Speed control was already loose at the stabilisation gate, and this flight crossed the threshold at 130 kt against a target of 116 kt, 14 kt fast. Carrying excess speed into the gate like this usually carries straight through to a fast threshold crossing.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator, targeting 116 kt by the gate and held to 116 kt at the threshold.
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.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
At the 1,000 ft gate: gear still up and speed 35 kt FAST on the reference speed of 116 kt.
At the 500 ft gate: gear still up and speed 19 kt FAST on the reference speed of 116 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,215 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 56 m short of the threshold. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Hamburg Helmut Schmidt Airport (EDDH) served as the departure point for the Airbus A320, which began its journey with a 17‑minute taxi to runway 33, covering 3 nm. The takeoff roll measured 598 m, representing 19 % of the available runway, and the aircraft achieved liftoff at 164 kt. The local temperature at departure was 3 °C. After liftoff, the aircraft climbed 3,907 ft from 1,013 ft asl to 4,920 ft asl over 6 nm in 1 minute, initiating the climb 1 mile northwest of Fuhlsbuettel. Subsequent descent phases included a 1,556 ft drop from 4,949 ft asl to 3,393 ft asl over 8 nm in 2 minutes, beginning 2 miles west of Quickborn, and a 1,188 ft descent from 4,111 ft asl to 2,923 ft asl over 8 nm in 2 minutes, starting 2 miles northeast of Wandsbek. Level cruise segments were executed overhead Alveslohe for 2 minutes covering 7 nm, overhead Kroeppelshagen‑Fahrendorf for 2 minutes covering 5 nm, and a final descent over Bergedorf from 2,998 ft asl to 1,363 ft asl, a 1,635 ft reduction over 9 nm in 2 minutes. An additional climb of 745 ft from 3,466 ft asl to 4,210 ft asl over 7 nm in 2 minutes commenced 1 mile northeast of Norderstedt.
The final approach to runway 33 at EDDH was conducted from the southeast, maintaining a heading of 337.0 ° at 4 nm and 1,296 ft agl. Touchdown occurred before the threshold with a touchdown speed of 125 kt, and the touchdown rate was -522 fpm. The touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.5 m from the centreline, yet the runway rollout alignment was described as very good. The total landing distance was 1,020 m, accounting for 32 % of the runway. Local temperature at touchdown was 1 °C.
After landing, the aircraft taxied back to the parking area in 4 minutes, covering less than 1 nm. The entire flight covered a total distance of 58 nm, was completed in 23 minutes, and consumed 779 kg of fuel.
The final approach to runway 33 at EDDH Hamburg Helmut Schmidt Airport was executed from the southeast, maintaining a heading of 337.0° at 4 nm and 1,296 ft AGL. The approach quality was consistent, with the aircraft remaining within the prescribed glide path and lateral corridor until the touchdown point. The touchdown occurred before the threshold, with a touchdown speed of 125 kt, which was noted as fast for the aircraft configuration. The touchdown rate was very hard at –522 fpm, indicating a steep descent profile at the moment of contact.
At touchdown, the aircraft was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 3.5 m, yet the runway touchdown position remained within acceptable limits. The local weather conditions were mild, with a temperature of 1 °C, contributing to the overall stability of the approach. The touchdown characteristics, including the high speed and steep rate, were compensated by a well-managed flare and a controlled deceleration upon contact.
The rollout covered a total landing distance of 1,020 m, representing 32 % of the available runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good, with the aircraft maintaining a straight path and achieving a smooth deceleration to a safe stop. The overall landing performance earned a score of 96.7 %, reflecting the pilot’s proficiency in managing the approach, touchdown, and rollout phases under the given conditions.
