Landing on runway 23 at EDDH Hamburg Helmut Schmidt Airport in the Airbus A321

Landing Score 98.94 %

Landing Summary

The Airbus A321 successfully landed at EDDH Hamburg Helmut Schmidt Airport, achieving a high score of 98.9%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north east, heading 230.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,275 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot maintained a good threshold height, which is a critical aspect of a safe landing.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was recorded at 138 knots, which is within the acceptable range. However, the touchdown speed of 136 knots was slightly faster than desired, indicating that the pilot may have been able to flare the aircraft more effectively to achieve a smoother touchdown. The touchdown rate of -287 feet per minute (fpm) was fair, suggesting that the aircraft's descent was not excessively steep.

The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.2 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the pilot's alignment during the final approach. Despite this, the runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 6°C and a wind speed of 5 knots from 180°. The crosswind component was 4 knots, while the headwind component was 3 knots. The total landing distance of 1,523 meters was 55% of the runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and weight.

Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated good control and decision-making skills throughout the approach and landing phases. However, there is room for improvement in terms of touchdown speed and alignment during the final approach.
