Departure
Ease the nose up sooner to lift off at 143 kt instead of letting speed build on the ground.
What happened: The aircraft lifted off at 164 kt, 21 kt above the target liftoff speed.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 143 kt at liftoff
See Departure Roll
A crosswind landing is a geometry problem. The air mass you're flying in is moving sideways across the runway, and you need your ground track down the centreline with your wheels aligned to it at the moment of contact. There are two techniques that will help, the crab and the sideslip.

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 3,287 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 493 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 9 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 05, with the aircraft lifting off after a takeoff distance of 614 meters, which accounted for 22% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 164 knots.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it encountered local weather conditions of 4°C temperature and winds of 11 knots at 90 degrees. The crosswind component was 7 knots, while the headwind component was 8 knots. The enroute climb started overhead the airport, with the aircraft ascending from 1,485 feet above sea level to 37,008 feet above sea level, an increase of 35,524 feet in 15 minutes, covering a distance of 91 nautical miles.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, starting 3 miles northeast of Augustenborg, Denmark. This phase of the flight lasted 9 minutes and covered 65 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting 7 miles northeast of EK76 Tunø Airstrip, Denmark. The descent took place from 36,985 feet above sea level to 5,003 feet above sea level, a decrease of 31,981 feet in 18 minutes, covering a distance of 100 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting 2 miles south of Onsala, Sweden. This phase of the flight lasted only 2 minutes and covered 6 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 1 mile southeast of Kungsbacka, Sweden. The descent took place from 4,548 feet above sea level to 1,968 feet above sea level, a decrease of 2,580 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 8 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 03 at Göteborg Landvetter Airport, ESGG, was made from the southwest, with the aircraft heading 25.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,466 feet above ground level. The landing took place on runway 03, which had a length of 3,287 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 121 knots.
However, the touchdown point was 68 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed of 121 knots was slightly fast. The touchdown rate was firm at -308 feet per minute. Additionally, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 8.3 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were -5°C temperature and winds of 12 knots at 49 degrees, with a crosswind component of 5 knots and a headwind component of 11 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,198 meters, which accounted for 36% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 10.6 meters from the centerline. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking 3 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 278 nautical miles, taking 60 minutes, and the aircraft used 2,492 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A321 aircraft successfully landed at ESGG Göteborg Landvetter Airport, achieving a score of 92.1%. The final approach to runway 03 was initiated from the southwest, heading 25.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,466 feet above ground level.
The aircraft touched down on the runway, with a threshold speed of 121 knots, which was considered good. However, the touchdown speed was slightly fast, indicating that the pilot may have been able to reduce the speed further during the landing. The touchdown rate was firm, at -308 feet per minute, suggesting a controlled descent.
Despite the good threshold speed, the touchdown point was 68 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, indicating a slight deviation from the intended landing spot. Additionally, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 8.3 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight drift during the landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -5°C and a wind speed of 12 knots from a direction of 49°. The crosswind component was 5 knots, while the headwind component was 11 knots. These conditions may have affected the aircraft's performance during the landing.
The total landing distance was 1,198 meters, which accounted for 36% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the pilot was able to control the aircraft's descent and touchdown effectively. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 10.6 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight drift during the rollout.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with a high score of 92.1%. However, there were some minor deviations from the intended landing spot and a slightly fast touchdown speed, which may indicate areas for improvement in the pilot's landing technique.
