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 4.8 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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,525 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,525 m of the 3,092 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 422 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Munich Airport (EDDM), the Airbus A321 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 7 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. As the aircraft lined up on runway 26R, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 11 °C and a gentle headwind of 7 knots from a direction of 260°. With a crosswind of 0 knots, the aircraft took off, achieving liftoff speed of 147 knots at 2,661 meters, which was 67% of the runway length.
As the aircraft climbed away from Munich, it began its enroute climb, reaching an altitude of 34,008 feet above sea level in 20 minutes, covering a distance of 120 nautical miles. The climb was characterized by a steady increase in altitude, with the aircraft reaching a maximum altitude of 34,017 feet before beginning its descent. The enroute level cruise phases, which lasted for a total of 20 minutes, were interspersed with periods of descent, with the aircraft descending from 34,017 feet to 10,006 feet in 14 minutes, covering a distance of 83 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 23 at Hamburg Helmut Schmidt Airport (EDDH) was made from the north-east, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 136 knots and a touchdown distance of 424 meters.
The landing was characterized by a good threshold height, with the threshold speed being slightly above the target speed of 144 knots. The touchdown rate was good at -195 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The total landing distance was 1,442 meters, which was 52% of the runway length. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took 5 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 354 nautical miles, with the flight lasting 72 minutes and using 3,324 kilograms of fuel.
The aircraft touched down on runway 23 at EDDH Hamburg Helmut Schmidt Airport with a good threshold height, allowing for a smooth transition from the approach to the touchdown phase. The threshold speed of 144 kt was slightly above the target, but still within acceptable limits. The touchdown distance of 424 m was satisfactory, indicating a well-executed flare and touchdown. However, the touchdown speed of 136 kt was a little fast, which may have contributed to a slightly higher than ideal touchdown rate of -195 fpm.
The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft centered on the runway centerline. This was a testament to the pilot's skill and attention to detail during the approach and touchdown phases. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 8 °C and a headwind of 8 kt, were favorable for the landing. The aircraft's ability to maintain a steady heading and airspeed despite the wind conditions was impressive.
The rollout phase was characterized by very good alignment, with the aircraft remaining centered on the runway centerline. The total landing distance of 1,442 m, which accounted for 52% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. Overall, the landing was considered to be of high quality, with a score of 99.7%. The pilot's ability to execute a smooth and controlled landing, despite a slightly fast touchdown speed, was a testament to their skill and experience.
