Flight Score
Departure
Lower the nose and add power to raise climb speed to 174 kt.
What happened: Climb speed was 152 kt against a target of 174 kt, running 22 kt slow through the climb.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator against the climb target of 174 kt.
Arrival
Hold the approach aim point and let the aircraft settle onto 457 m instead of holding it off in the flare.
What happened: Touchdown point came 126 m past the target, landing at 583 m against the 457 m aim point, with threshold speed and the flare both within limits.
Watch for: Touchdown distance marker: 457 m from the threshold.
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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,689 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,689 m of the 3,215 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 583 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Budapest Liszt Ferenc International Airport, the Airbus A321 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 6 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. As it reached the runway, the aircraft started its departure roll on runway 31L, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 148 knots. The takeoff distance of 1,472 meters was 49% of the runway length, indicating a relatively smooth and efficient departure.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, reaching an altitude of 35,936 feet in 22 minutes and covering a distance of 140 nautical miles. The climb was initiated 1 mile west of the airport, and the aircraft continued to ascend to its cruising altitude. The enroute level cruise phase followed, lasting 38 minutes and covering a distance of 265 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, reducing its altitude from 36,032 feet to 1,364 feet in 23 minutes and covering a distance of 114 nautical miles. The descent was initiated 1 mile east of Kade, Germany.
As the aircraft approached Hamburg Helmut Schmidt Airport, it began its final approach to runway 33 from the southeast, aligning itself with the runway at 4 nautical miles and 1,314 feet above ground level. The landing was executed with a threshold speed slightly above the target at 140 knots, and the touchdown point was 170 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was a little fast at 129 knots, but the touchdown rate was excellent at -100 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 7.4 meters from the centerline, but the runway rollout alignment was very good. The total landing distance was 1,611 meters, or 50% of the runway length. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took 9 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 528 nautical miles, and the aircraft used 4,532 kilograms of fuel during the flight, which lasted 97 minutes.
The aircraft touched down on runway 33 at EDDH Hamburg Helmut Schmidt Airport with a threshold height that met expectations. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target, registering 140 kt. The approach quality was otherwise good, with a touchdown point located 170 m beyond the designated touchdown zone. The touchdown speed of 129 kt was a little fast, but the touchdown rate of -100 fpm was excellent, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 7.4 m. Despite this, the runway rollout alignment was very good, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control and stability during the critical phase of flight. The total landing distance of 1,611 m was 50% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 16 °C and a light wind of 3 kt at 41 °, did not pose any significant challenges to the landing.
Overall, the landing was considered satisfactory, with a score of 95.8%. While there were some minor deviations from the ideal, the pilot's performance was generally good, and the aircraft's handling characteristics were well-managed throughout the approach, touchdown, and rollout phases.
