Landing report
Landing on runway 15 at EDDH Hamburg Helmut Schmidt Airport in the Airbus A321neo
Landing Score 98.87 %
Landing Summary

The Airbus A321 successfully landed at EDDH Hamburg Helmut Schmidt Airport, achieving a high score of 98.9%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north-west, heading 152.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,439 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with precision, and the aircraft landed safely on runway 15, which has a length of 3,216 meters.

The threshold height was good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct altitude as it approached the runway. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 136 kt, which is a minor deviation. The touchdown distance of 426 meters was within the acceptable range, demonstrating the pilot's skill in controlling the aircraft's descent.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was 128 kt, which was a little fast. This may have resulted in a firm touchdown rate of -327 feet per minute (fpm), indicating that the aircraft's wheels made contact with the runway with a moderate amount of force. Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -2°C and a wind speed of 14 kt from a direction of 100°. This resulted in a crosswind component of 11 kt and a headwind component of 8 kt. The pilots successfully managed these wind conditions, ensuring a safe and controlled landing.

The total landing distance of 1,465 meters was 46% of the runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft's wheels remained aligned with the runway centerline as it rolled out after touchdown. Overall, the landing was executed with precision and skill, resulting in a high score of 98.9%.
