The flight in question took place on a commercial airliner, an Airbus A320. The aircraft began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Frankfurt Airport (EDDF), a distance of approximately 3 nautical miles covered in 10 minutes.

Upon departing from runway 25C, the aircraft accelerated to a takeoff speed of 168 knots and achieved liftoff after covering 1,569 meters, which was approximately 39% of the runway length. At that moment, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 19°C and a gentle wind of 5 knots blowing from 350 degrees, along with a slight tailwind of 1 knot.

Following a brief period, the aircraft entered its enroute climb phase, commencing one mile south of the village of Kelsterbach in the state of Hessen, Germany. Over the course of 20 minutes, the aircraft ascended from an initial altitude of 1,369 feet above sea level to a maximum altitude of 31,439 feet, an impressive increase of 30,070 feet. The aircraft covered a distance of 120 nautical miles during this segment of the flight.

The enroute level cruise began once the aircraft crossed over the village of Luerdissen in the state of Lower Saxony, Germany, and lasted for a mere 2 minutes, during which the aircraft leveled off and covered an additional 13 nautical miles.

Subsequently, the aircraft initiated its descent, commencing its downward trajectory from a height of 31,436 feet to 11,151 feet over the village of Nordstemmen in Lower Saxony. This marked a decrease of 20,284 feet in just 12 minutes, with the aircraft covering a considerable distance of 77 nautical miles.

A second enroute level cruise segment started three miles north of the town of Stelle in Lower Saxony, with the aircraft remaining at cruising altitude for 3 minutes, covering 14 nautical miles. The flight then continued with a period of descent from a height of 10,499 feet to 1,334 feet over the town of Grosshansdorf in the state of Schleswig-Holstein. This descent, lasting for 10 minutes, resulted in a decrease of 9,165 feet, as the aircraft covered a relatively short distance of 7 nautical miles.

The final approach to Hamburg Helmut Schmidt Airport (EDDH) was made using runway 23, with the aircraft descending from a height of 1,282 feet above the ground to land safely on the runway. Given the wind conditions, characterized by a temperature of 23°C, a wind speed of 9 knots, and a crosswind of 5 knots and a tailwind of 8 knots, the aircraft touched down on the threshold with a speed of 134 knots, which was slightly above the optimal landing speed.

The flight crew managed to bring the aircraft to a stop on the runway, with the touchdown point located 142 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The aircraft's touchdown rate of -156 feet per minute was within acceptable limits, and the runway alignment during rollout was excellent.

Upon landing, the aircraft covered a total distance of 1,155 meters, which equated to approximately 41% of the runway length. Following a quick taxiing session of 7 minutes, covering a relatively short distance of less than 1 nautical mile, the aircraft came to a stop in the designated parking area, concluding its flight successfully. The aircraft completed a total flight distance of 241 nautical miles over the course of the flight, which lasted for 64 minutes, using approximately 2,645 kilograms of fuel.

Landing on runway 23 at EDDH Hamburg Helmut Schmidt Airport in the Airbus A320

Landing Score 98.78 %

Landing Summary

The Airbus A320 aircraft demonstrated a high level of proficiency during its final approach and landing at EDDH Hamburg Helmut Schmidt Airport. The aircraft was in close proximity to the runway threshold, maintaining a heading of 230.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,282 feet above ground level (agl).

As the aircraft began its descent and prepared for touchdown on runway 23, all parameters suggested a good final approach. The threshold height was deemed satisfactory, and the threshold speed of 140 knots was met, indicating proper control of the aircraft's descent rate.

The actual touchdown point was, however, 142 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone. This deviation may be attributed, in part, to the slightly high touchdown speed of 134 knots, which was 6 knots above the recommended threshold speed. Nevertheless, the touchdown rate of -156 feet per minute (fpm) was commended as good, signifying effective control of the descent and minimal impact on the aircraft during landing.

Local weather conditions, with a temperature of 23°C and wind speeds of 9 knots at an 80° direction, had a minimal impact on the aircraft's performance. The tailwind of 8 knots and crosswind of 5 knots were within manageable limits, facilitating a smooth touch down and post-landing phase.

The total landing distance of 1,155 meters, which accounted for 41% of the available runway length, fell within acceptable parameters. Moreover, the runway rollout alignment was deemed perfect, demonstrating the pilots' expertise and control during the critical post-touchdown phase.

In summary, the overall performance of the Airbus A320 during its final approach and landing at EDDH Hamburg Helmut Schmidt Airport was highly commendable. While there were minor deviations from the optimal touchdown zone and speed parameters, the pilots successfully navigated the aircraft through a complex series of parameters, achieving a safe and controlled touchdown and rollout.
