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 4.5 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
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.

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 1,612 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,612 m of the 3,216 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 305 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Göteborg Landvetter Airport, taking approximately 6 minutes to cover a distance of 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 21, with the aircraft lifting off at a speed of 162 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 13°C, with a wind speed of 10 knots blowing from a direction of 200°. This resulted in a headwind of 10 knots and a crosswind of 1 knot.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, starting approximately 1 mile southwest of Göteborg Landvetter Airport. The climb took place from an initial altitude of 1,494 feet above sea level to a maximum altitude of 29,741 feet, an increase of 28,248 feet in just 15 minutes. During this time, the aircraft covered a distance of 85 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which began approximately 6 miles southeast of Grenaa, Denmark. This phase of the flight lasted for 11 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 82 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its enroute descent, starting approximately 3 miles west of Faaborg, Denmark. The descent took place from a maximum altitude of 30,046 feet to an initial altitude of 1,319 feet, a decrease of 28,726 feet in 18 minutes. During this time, the aircraft covered a distance of 83 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 15 at Hamburg Helmut Schmidt Airport took place from the northwest, with the aircraft heading in a direction of 153.0° at an altitude of 1,269 feet above ground level. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 12°C, with a wind speed of 4 knots blowing from a direction of 150°. This resulted in a headwind of 4 knots and a crosswind of 0 knots.
The landing took place on runway 15, which had a length of 3,216 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 132 knots. However, the touchdown speed was slightly fast at 128 knots, and the touchdown rate was very hard at -517 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 3.4 meters.
The total landing distance was 1,532 meters, which was 48% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating a smooth and controlled landing. The taxiing to the parking area from the runway took approximately 4 minutes to cover a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
In total, the flight covered a distance of 258 nautical miles, taking 54 minutes to complete. The aircraft used a total of 2,935 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A321 aircraft successfully landed at EDDH Hamburg Helmut Schmidt Airport, achieving a score of 94.3%. The final approach was conducted from the north-west, heading 153.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,269 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 15, which has a length of 3,216 meters.
The threshold height was satisfactory, and the threshold speed was maintained at 132 knots, indicating a well-executed approach. However, the touchdown speed of 128 knots was slightly faster than desired, which may have contributed to a harder-than-ideal touchdown. The touchdown rate of -517 feet per minute (fpm) was very hard, suggesting that the aircraft may have touched down with a higher-than-desired vertical velocity.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 3.4 meters, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the approach or during the landing phase. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 12°C and a gentle headwind of 4 knots at 150°. There was no crosswind component, which made the landing conditions even more favorable.
The total landing distance of 1,532 meters was 48% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance. The runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the aircraft was well-controlled during the landing phase and that the pilot was able to maintain a stable and aligned path during the rollout.
Overall, the landing was successful, but there were some minor issues with the touchdown speed and rate, as well as a slight deviation from the centreline. However, the pilot's skills and the aircraft's performance were able to mitigate these issues, resulting in a safe and successful landing.
