Work on the flare
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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with five checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,841 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,841 m of the 3,216 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 817 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 14 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, an Airbus A320, then departed from runway 32 at Zürich Airport (LSZH) in Switzerland. The takeoff distance was 1,640 meters, which accounted for 52% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 155 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 10°C and a wind speed of 7 knots from a direction of 169°. This resulted in a crosswind of 4 knots and a tailwind of 6 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead the town of Niederglatt/Grafschaft in the canton of Zurich, Switzerland. The climb took the aircraft from an altitude of 2,476 feet above sea level to 34,743 feet above sea level, an increase of 32,267 feet, in 20 minutes and covering a distance of 90 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 2 miles south of the town of Allmersbach im Tal in the state of Baden-Wuerttemberg, Germany. This phase lasted for 25 minutes and covered a distance of 192 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 2 miles north of the town of Eberholzen in the state of Lower Saxony, Germany. The descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 34,605 feet above sea level to 2,797 feet above sea level, a decrease of 31,807 feet, in 16 minutes and covering a distance of 98 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started overhead the town of Klein Nordende in the state of Schleswig-Holstein, Germany. This phase lasted for 5 minutes and covered a distance of 9 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting overhead the town of Heidmoor in the state of Schleswig-Holstein, Germany. The descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 2,817 feet above sea level to 1,353 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,464 feet, in 3 minutes and covering a distance of 7 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 15 at Hamburg Helmut Schmidt Airport (EDDH) was made from the northwest, with a heading of 153.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,292 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 15, which had a length of 3,216 meters. The threshold height at 67 feet above ground level was above the target, but the threshold speed was good at 129 knots.
The touchdown point was 398 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 117 knots, which was good. However, the touchdown rate was fair at -264 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.5 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 9°C and a wind speed of 9 knots from a direction of 220°, resulting in a crosswind of 9 knots and a headwind of 4 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,758 meters, which accounted for 55% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 12.5 meters from the centerline. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 6 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 407 nautical miles, with a total flight time of 89 minutes and a fuel consumption of
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at EDDH Hamburg Helmut Schmidt Airport, with a score of 86.0%. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the north-west, heading 153.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,292 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was made to runway 15, which has a length of 3,216 meters.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down 398 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a speed of 117 knots, which was considered good. However, the touchdown rate was fair at -264 feet per minute (fpm). The threshold height at 67 feet agl was above the target, but the threshold speed was good at 129 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 9°C and a wind speed of 9 knots from 220°. This resulted in a crosswind of 9 knots and a headwind of 4 knots. The aircraft's landing distance was 1,758 meters, which accounted for 55% of the runway length.
During the rollout, the aircraft's alignment was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 12.5 meters. This was a minor deviation from the ideal alignment. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with some minor deviations from the ideal performance.
