Improve the rollout
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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with five checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,731 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,731 m of the 2,790 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 726 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Airbus A321 taxiing from the parking area to the runway at LSZH Zürich Airport, taking approximately 4 minutes to cover a distance of 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 32, 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 7 °C, with a wind speed of 6 knots at 249 degrees, resulting in a 6-knot crosswind and a 3-knot headwind.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it began its enroute climb over Niederglatt / Grafschaft, located in the Kanton Zurich region of Switzerland. The climb took 19 minutes to reach an altitude of 33,125 feet, an increase of 30,694 feet from the initial altitude of 2,431 feet. During this phase, the aircraft covered a distance of 118 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 1 mile east of Adelsheim, located in the Baden-Wuerttemberg region of Germany. This phase lasted for 16 minutes and covered a distance of 124 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its enroute descent over Scheden, located in the Lower Saxony region of Germany. The descent took 23 minutes to reach an altitude of 1,316 feet, a decrease of 32,088 feet from the cruising altitude of 33,403 feet. During this phase, the aircraft covered a distance of 126 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 05 at EDDH Hamburg Helmut Schmidt Airport was made from the southwest, with the aircraft heading at 48.0 degrees. The approach was made at an altitude of 1,266 feet above ground level, 4 nautical miles from the runway.
The landing took place on runway 05, which had a length of 2,790 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 144 knots. The touchdown point was 307 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 131 knots, which was considered good. The touchdown rate was excellent at -64 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 10.6 meters.
The total landing distance was 1,647 meters, which accounted for 59% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned from the centerline by 12.5 meters. The taxiing to the parking area from the runway took approximately 2 minutes to cover a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
In summary, the flight covered a total distance of 378 nautical miles, taking 65 minutes to complete. The aircraft used 3,126 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A321 successfully landed at EDDH Hamburg Helmut Schmidt Airport, achieving a score of 91.9%. The aircraft approached the runway from the south west, heading 48.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,266 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with good threshold height, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 144 knots.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 307 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, with a speed of 131 knots. The touchdown rate was impressive, with an excellent rate of -64 feet per minute (fpm). However, there was a slight misalignment of the runway touchdown position, deviating 10.6 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -2°C, with a wind speed of 9 knots at a direction of 70°. The crosswind component was minimal at 3 knots, while the headwind component was 9 knots. The total landing distance covered by the aircraft was 1,647 meters, which accounted for 59% of the runway length.
During the rollout phase, the aircraft's alignment was slightly off-center, deviating 12.5 meters from the centerline. Despite these minor deviations, the overall performance of the Airbus A321 during the landing was satisfactory, with a score of 91.9%.
