Work on the flare
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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
Side view — the last 1,611 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,611 m of the 2,790 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 599 m past the threshold — beyond 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, a process that took 11 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The Airbus A321 then departed from runway 25 at EDDS Stuttgart Airport, with a takeoff distance of 1,279 meters, which accounted for 42% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 148 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 6 degrees Celsius, a wind speed of 6 knots at 330 degrees, with a crosswind of 6 knots and a headwind of 1 knot.
As the aircraft climbed out of Stuttgart, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead the airport and took the aircraft up to an altitude of 35,181 feet above sea level. This climb phase covered a distance of 125 nautical miles and took 20 minutes to complete, with the aircraft increasing its altitude by 32,869 feet. The enroute level cruise phase that followed lasted for 5 minutes and covered a distance of 42 nautical miles, with the aircraft flying 1 mile south of Niederaula, a town in the state of Hessen, Germany.
The enroute descent phase began 1 mile southwest of Dransfeld, a town in the state of Lower Saxony, Germany, and took the aircraft down from an altitude of 35,109 feet to 3,279 feet above sea level. This descent phase covered a distance of 133 nautical miles and took 22 minutes to complete, with the aircraft decreasing its altitude by 31,830 feet. The enroute level cruise phase that followed lasted for 4 minutes and covered a distance of 10 nautical miles, with the aircraft flying 1 mile south of Todendorf, a town in the state of Schleswig-Holstein, Germany.
The final approach to runway 23 at EDDH Hamburg Helmut Schmidt Airport was made from the northeast, with the aircraft heading 230 degrees at an altitude of 1,279 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was made on runway 23, which had a length of 2,790 meters. The threshold height at 60 feet above ground level was slightly above the target, and the threshold speed was also slightly above the target at 137 knots.
The touchdown point was 183 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 132 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was fair at -219 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.4 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 4 degrees Celsius, a wind speed of 4 knots at 220 degrees, with a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 4 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,530 meters, which accounted for 55% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good, and the aircraft was able to taxi to the parking area from the runway in 4 minutes, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 320 nautical miles, and the flight took 68 minutes to complete, using a total of 2,895 kilograms of fuel.
The Airbus A321 aircraft successfully landed at EDDH Hamburg Helmut Schmidt Airport, with a score of 92.1%. The final approach to runway 23 was initiated from the north east, heading 230.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,279 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on runway 23, which has a length of 2,790 meters. The threshold height at 60 feet agl was slightly above the target, indicating a minor deviation in the approach. The threshold speed was also slightly above the target at 137 knots, which may have contributed to the slightly fast touchdown speed of 132 knots.
The touchdown point was located 183 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The touchdown rate of -219 feet per minute (fpm) was considered fair, indicating a relatively smooth landing. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.4 meters from the centerline, which may require some adjustments in the approach.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 4°C and a wind speed of 4 knots at 220°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 4 knots, which may have contributed to the slightly fast touchdown speed.
The total landing distance was 1,530 meters, which is 55% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating a good performance from the aircraft. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating a smooth and controlled rollout after touchdown.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with a score of 92.1%. However, there were some minor deviations in the approach and touchdown, which may require some adjustments in the future to achieve a perfect landing.
