Departure
On the roll, make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline within 14 m.
What happened: The takeoff roll drifted off the centreline by 14 m, and excess bank then carried through all three climb segments. A drifted roll like this usually leads into wandering bank angle through the climb.
Watch for: Watch the heading indicator and runway centreline during the roll, and the attitude indicator for wings level through the climb.

Twenty knots on a monitor produces the visual sensation of about ten. The advice to "taxi at a walking pace" cannot fix this, because your sense of walking pace is exactly the thing that's broken. Put the groundspeed readout in your scan and obey it for the next fifty flights, the way a student pilot leans on the airspeed indicator before learning to read attitude.

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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: speed above the reference speed.
At the 500 ft gate: speed above the reference speed.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,996 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 460 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 33 at Hamburg Helmut Schmidt Airport, EDDH. The Airbus A320 took off with a takeoff distance of 1,247 meters, which is 39% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 163 knots, and the aircraft climbed away from the airport.
As the aircraft climbed, it encountered local weather conditions of 19°C temperature and a wind of 12 knots at 259 degrees. The crosswind component was 12 knots, while the headwind component was 4 knots. The enroute climb started approximately 1 mile northwest of Fuhlsbuettel, a suburb of Hamburg, and reached a height of 19,928 feet above sea level (asl) after climbing 18,831 feet in 7 minutes, covering a distance of 32 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 1 mile south of Stafstedt, a town in the state of Schleswig-Holstein, Germany, and lasted for 16 minutes, covering a distance of 96 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its descent 2 miles east of Slagelse, a town in the Region Sjaelland, Denmark, and descended from 19,895 feet asl to 14,976 feet asl in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 19 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise resumed overhead Kirke Hvalso, a town in the Region Sjaelland, Denmark, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 9 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its descent 3 miles southwest of Jyllinge, a town in the Region Sjaelland, Denmark, and descended from 14,879 feet asl to 3,178 feet asl in 8 minutes, covering a distance of 27 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise resumed 2 miles southwest of Rydebaeck, a town in the Skane County, Sweden, and lasted for 5 minutes, covering a distance of 13 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its descent 3 miles southwest of Barsebaeckshamn, a town in the Skane County, Sweden, and descended from 2,993 feet asl to 1,262 feet asl in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 22R at Copenhagen Kastrup Airport, EKCH, was made from the northeast, heading 221.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,238 feet above ground level (agl). The landing was made on runway 22R, which has a length of 2,996 meters. The threshold height was good, but the threshold speed was excessively high at 176 knots.
The touchdown point was 77 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was excessively fast at 167 knots. The touchdown rate was hard at -424 feet per minute (fpm). The runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 18°C temperature and a wind of 7 knots at 180 degrees, with a crosswind component of 5 knots and a headwind component of 5 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,470 meters, which is 49% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was misaligned by 15.4 meters from the centerline. The taxiing to the parking from the runway took 7 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles.
The total flight distance was 208 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 55 minutes. The aircraft used 910 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 aircraft successfully landed on runway 22R at EKCH Copenhagen Kastrup Airport, but with some notable areas for improvement. The final approach was initiated from the north east, heading 221.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,238 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a good alignment with the runway during the approach, with a runway touchdown alignment that was very good.
However, there were some issues with the landing itself. The threshold speed was excessively high at 176 kt, which is above the recommended threshold speed. Additionally, the touchdown speed of 167 kt was also excessively fast, indicating that the aircraft may have been touching down too quickly. This resulted in a hard touchdown rate of -424 fpm, which could have put additional stress on the aircraft's landing gear.
The touchdown point was 77 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The total landing distance was 1,470 meters, which is 49% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, but it could have been improved with a more precise touchdown and a slower touchdown speed.
One area for improvement was the runway rollout alignment, which was misaligned by 15.4 meters from the centerline. This could have been caused by a variety of factors, including a slight deviation in the aircraft's heading or a failure to maintain a straight course during the rollout.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 18°C and a wind speed of 7 kt from 180°. The crosswind and headwind components were both 5 kt, which is relatively minimal. Overall, while the landing was successful, there are some areas for improvement that could be addressed in future landings.
