Departure
Ease the nose up sooner to lift off at 150 kt instead of letting speed build on the ground.
What happened: The aircraft lifted off at 169 kt, 19 kt above the target liftoff speed.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 150 kt at liftoff
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Begin the flare with progressive back pressure and keep it coming until the sink is arrested, rather than flying it on flat.
What happened: The nose was barely raised in the flare and little of the sink was taken out, flying the aircraft onto the runway. This pattern usually carries through to a firm touchdown with a noticeable sink rate.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a smoothly reducing sink through the normal flare band, not a steady rate into the runway.
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 1,657 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,657 m of the 3,287 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 672 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 10 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, an Airbus A321, then departed from runway 05 at EDDH Hamburg Helmut Schmidt Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,217 meters, which accounted for 44% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 169 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions of 5°C temperature and winds of 12 knots at 90 degrees. The crosswind was 8 knots, while the headwind was 9 knots. The enroute climb started overhead Fuhlsbuettel, a location within the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg, Germany. The aircraft climbed from an altitude of 1,072 feet above sea level to 35,607 feet above sea level, an increase of 34,535 feet, in 20 minutes and covering a distance of 96 nautical miles.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which began overhead EKFS Vøjstrup Glider Field Vøjstrup in Region Syddanmark, Denmark. This phase lasted for 7 minutes and covered a distance of 48 nautical miles. The enroute descent started 7 miles north of EKSS Samsø Airfield Samsø in Region Midtjylland, Denmark. The aircraft descended from an altitude of 35,863 feet above sea level to 1,845 feet above sea level, a decrease of 34,017 feet, in 22 minutes and covering a distance of 108 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 03 at ESGG Göteborg Landvetter Airport was made from the southwest, heading 26.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,341 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 03 was successful, with the touchdown point being 255 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 124 knots, which was considered good, and the touchdown rate was firm at -328 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were -1°C temperature and winds of 11 knots at 70 degrees. The crosswind was 8 knots, while the headwind was 8 knots. The total landing distance was 1,575 meters, which accounted for 48% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
In total, the flight distance was 260 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 61 minutes. The aircraft used 2,711 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A321 successfully landed at ESGG Göteborg Landvetter Airport, achieving a score of 87.0%. The aircraft approached the runway from the southwest, heading 26.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,341 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with precision, and the aircraft landed safely on runway 03, which has a length of 3,287 meters.
The threshold height at 80 feet agl was above the target, indicating that the aircraft was slightly higher than desired at the point of touchdown. However, the threshold speed of 129 knots was within the acceptable range, demonstrating good control and management of the aircraft's descent. The touchdown point was 255 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation but still within the acceptable limits.
The touchdown speed of 124 knots was also within the acceptable range, indicating that the aircraft was well-controlled during the landing. The touchdown rate of -328 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, suggesting that the aircraft touched down with a moderate amount of force. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was aligned with the runway centerline at the point of touchdown.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -1°C and a wind speed of 11 knots from a direction of 70°. The crosswind component was 8 knots, while the headwind component was also 8 knots. These conditions presented a moderate challenge for the pilot, but the aircraft was able to handle them safely.
The total landing distance of 1,575 meters was 48% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was well-controlled during the rollout phase and was able to maintain a stable and aligned path.
Overall, the landing was executed with a high degree of precision and control, and the aircraft was able to safely touch down on the runway. While there were some minor deviations from the target, the pilot was able to manage the aircraft's descent and touchdown safely, earning a score of 87.0%.
