Improve the rollout
Ground control varies with speed, full authority at walking pace, progressively reducing as groundspeed rises. The aircraft becomes twitchy at any speed, every small pedal input swings the nose, which can encourage large-amplitude leg inputs that no real aircraft would accept.

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.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,352 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 393 m touchdown sits inside 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 Hamburg Helmut Schmidt Airport, EDDH. This process took 8 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 23, with the aircraft lifting off after a takeoff distance of 1,101 meters, which was 39% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 163 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions of 7°C temperature and a wind speed of 28 knots from a direction of 250°. The crosswind component was 9 knots, while the headwind component was 26 knots. The enroute climb began approximately 1 mile northwest of Winterhude, Germany, and saw the aircraft ascend from an altitude of 1,127 feet above sea level to 27,408 feet above sea level, an increase of 26,280 feet in 12 minutes, covering a distance of 46 nautical miles.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started approximately 1 mile southwest of Lubberstedt, Germany, and lasted for 7 minutes, covering a distance of 42 nautical miles. The enroute descent phase began approximately 2 miles south of Ostrhauderfehn, Germany, and saw the aircraft descend from an altitude of 27,433 feet above sea level to 1,268 feet above sea level, a decrease of 26,165 feet in 27 minutes, covering a distance of 109 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 27 at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, EHAM, was made from the east, with the aircraft heading 267.0° at an altitude of 1,267 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway threshold. The landing took place on runway 27, which had a length of 3,352 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 134 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 394 meters, but the touchdown speed of 129 knots was slightly faster than desired. The touchdown rate was fair at -267 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 5.4 meters. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 5°C temperature and a wind speed of 28 knots from a direction of 280°, with a crosswind component of 6 knots and a headwind component of 28 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,143 meters, which was 34% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing process from the runway to the parking area took 6 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 205 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 57 minutes, with the aircraft using 2,464 kilograms of fuel.
The Airbus A321 successfully landed at EHAM Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, achieving a high score of 98.3%. The aircraft approached the runway from the east, heading 267.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,267 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a precise final approach, taking into account the local weather conditions.
The temperature at the time of landing was 5°C, with a wind speed of 28 knots blowing from 280°. This resulted in a significant headwind component of 28 knots, which was beneficial for the landing. The crosswind component was relatively minor, at 6 knots. The pilot effectively utilized the headwind to reduce the aircraft's ground speed and maintain control during the approach.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was slightly higher than the recommended threshold speed of 134 knots, at 129 knots. However, the touchdown distance of 394 meters was within the acceptable range. The touchdown rate of -267 feet per minute (fpm) was fair, indicating a moderate rate of descent.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline, by 5.4 meters. Despite this, the runway rollout alignment was very good, demonstrating the pilot's skill and control during the landing. The total landing distance of 1,143 meters was 34% of the runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and the wind conditions.
Overall, the landing was successful, with the pilot demonstrating good control and decision-making skills. The slight deviations from the ideal touchdown speed and runway alignment were minor and did not significantly impact the overall performance of the landing.
