Flight Score
Arrival
Track the centreline through touchdown using small rudder corrections against a point at the far end of the runway.
What happened: The aircraft touched down off the centreline at 5.9 m, and drifting off centreline at touchdown usually carries through into the rollout, as it did here with alignment reaching 5.3 m.
Watch for: Watch runway centreline position, keeping deviation inside the limit through touchdown and rollout.
Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
At the 1,000 ft gate: speed 35 kt FAST on the reference speed of 138 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,656 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 325 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Manchester Airport (EGCC), the Airbus A321 began its journey with a taxiing period of 17 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles to reach the runway. The departure roll commenced on runway 23L, with a takeoff distance of 1,098 meters, accounting for 38% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 164 knots, with a local temperature of 14°C and wind conditions of 20 knots at 269°, resulting in a crosswind of 12 knots and a headwind of 15 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to cruising altitude, it underwent several phases of ascent and level flight. The initial enroute climb from 1,225 feet above sea level to 5,001 feet above sea level, covering 8 nautical miles, was completed in 2 minutes. The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, lasting 3 minutes and covering 14 nautical miles, before resuming its ascent to 33,011 feet above sea level, a gain of 27,986 feet in 18 minutes. The aircraft continued to cruise at this altitude for 23 minutes, covering 209 nautical miles, before beginning its descent to 10,036 feet above sea level, a decrease of 22,993 feet in 9 minutes. The aircraft underwent several further phases of level flight and descent, eventually entering the final approach to runway 15 at Hamburg Helmut Schmidt Airport (EDDH).
The Airbus A321 touched down on runway 15 at EDDH, with a touchdown distance of 331 meters and a speed of 135 knots, slightly above the target speed. The touchdown rate was fair at -293 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.6 meters from the centerline. The total landing distance was 1,062 meters, accounting for 33% of the runway length. The aircraft taxied to the parking area in 2 minutes, covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 492 nautical miles, completed in 78 minutes, and the aircraft used 3,945 kilograms of fuel during the journey.
The aircraft, an Airbus A321, successfully completed a landing on runway 15 at EDDH Hamburg Helmut Schmidt Airport, touching down at a slightly misaligned position 5.6 meters off the centreline. The approach quality was good, with a threshold height that met expectations. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target, reaching 140 knots.
The touchdown characteristics were notable, with a touchdown speed of 135 knots, which was a little fast, and a touchdown rate of -293 feet per minute, which was fair. The touchdown distance of 331 meters was good, indicating a well-executed flare. The aircraft's landing distance of 1,062 meters, which accounted for 33% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits.
During the rollout phase, the aircraft maintained very good alignment with the centreline, demonstrating a high level of control and precision. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 9°C and wind speeds of 16 knots at 200°, contributed to a challenging landing environment, but the crew's skills and the aircraft's performance ensured a safe and successful landing. Overall, the landing scored 97.9%, reflecting a high level of proficiency and adherence to standard operating procedures.
