Flight Score
Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.
What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 5.1 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
A small uncorrected heading error at 40 knots becomes a metre of offset per second by 100 knots, noticed only at rotation, producing a crabbed liftoff. Root cause is nearly always eyes on the tape instead of the far end of the runway. Small heading changes displace a distant point visibly long before the nearby centreline stripes look wrong.

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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,986 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 562 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft, an Airbus A321, taxiing from the parking area to the runway at EDHI Hamburg-Finkenwerder Airport. This process took approximately 8 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 23, with a takeoff distance of 1,766 meters, which accounted for 95% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 159 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 23 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 11 knots from a direction of 300 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 10 knots and a headwind of 4 knots. The aircraft began its enroute climb approximately 1 mile southwest of the airport, rising from an altitude of 1,028 feet above sea level to 22,990 feet above sea level, an increase of 21,962 feet, in 11 minutes and covering a distance of 40 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise phase started over the town of Gross Molzahn in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, Germany, and lasted for 12 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 84 nautical miles. The enroute descent phase began over the town of Friesack in Brandenburg, Germany, and involved a descent from 22,903 feet above sea level to 1,441 feet above sea level, a decrease of 21,463 feet, in 16 minutes and covering a distance of 38 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 06R at EDDB Berlin Brandenburg Airport was made from the southwest, with the aircraft heading at an angle of 69.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,277 feet above ground level. The landing was made on the runway, which had a length of 3,986 meters, and the threshold height was good. The threshold speed was slightly above the target speed at 140 knots.
The touchdown point was 257 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was a little fast at 130 knots. However, the touchdown rate was perfect at -47 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 5.2 meters. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 25 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 7 knots from a direction of 60 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 7 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,220 meters, which accounted for 31% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area from the runway, a process that took approximately 5 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 171 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 53 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 2,486 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A321 successfully landed at EDDB Berlin Brandenburg Airport, achieving a score of 96.2%. The aircraft approached the runway from the southwest, heading 69.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,277 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was made to runway 06R, which has a length of 3,986 meters.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down slightly beyond the touchdown zone, 257 meters past the designated area. The touchdown speed of 130 knots was slightly above the target speed, indicating a slightly fast touchdown. However, the touchdown rate of -47 feet per minute (fpm) was perfect, demonstrating a smooth and controlled descent.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 5.2 meters, which may require some adjustments during the landing process. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 25°C and a gentle wind of 7 knots at 60°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 7 knots, which helped to stabilize the aircraft during the landing.
The total landing distance of 1,220 meters was 31% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance. The runway rollout alignment was very good, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control and stability during the landing process. Overall, the landing was successful, with only minor deviations from the target parameters.
