Flight Score
Departure
Lower the nose and add power to raise climb speed to 174 kt.
What happened: Climb speed was 153 kt against a target of 174 kt, running 21 kt slow through the climb.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator against the climb target of 174 kt.
Arrival
In the last part of the flare, hold a little more back pressure to fully arrest the sink before the mains touch down.
What happened: Threshold speed and height were within limits, and the flare began on time and arrested the sink normally; even so, the touchdown rate was 277 fpm, a firm touchdown.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a smooth, gentle rate at touchdown
There are several things that can go wrong during the flare, carrying too much speed over the threshold, starting the flare at the wrong height and inconsistent flight control inputs, all contribute to a poor flare resulting in a hard touchdown or a float down the runway.

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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,092 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 461 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Munich Airport (EDDM), the Airbus A321 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 8 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. As the aircraft lined up on runway 08L, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 32 °C, with a gentle wind blowing at 7 knots from a direction of 10°. The aircraft's takeoff distance was 2,387 meters, which represented 60% of the runway length. At a liftoff speed of 143 knots, the aircraft lifted off the ground and began its initial climb.
As the aircraft climbed from 2,460 feet above sea level to 35,936 feet, it covered a distance of 152 nautical miles in 24 minutes, an increase of 33,475 feet. The enroute climb phase was followed by a brief level cruise phase, during which the aircraft flew at a constant altitude of 35,936 feet for 11 minutes, covering 81 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, reducing its altitude from 36,036 feet to 3,013 feet in 16 minutes, a decrease of 33,023 feet, and covering 96 nautical miles. The descent phase was punctuated by a short level cruise phase, during which the aircraft flew at a constant altitude of 3,018 feet for 2 minutes, covering 6 nautical miles. The final descent phase saw the aircraft reduce its altitude from 3,018 feet to 1,325 feet in 2 minutes, a decrease of 1,693 feet, and covering 7 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached Hamburg Helmut Schmidt Airport (EDDH), it began its final approach to runway 23 from the north-east, heading 230.0° at an altitude of 1,268 feet above ground level. The aircraft landed on the runway, with a touchdown distance of 461 meters, slightly above the target threshold speed of 139 knots. The touchdown speed of 130 knots was a little fast, but the touchdown rate of -302 feet per minute was firm. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was very good. The total landing distance was 1,243 meters, representing 40% of the runway length. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 351 nautical miles, and the aircraft used 3,461 kilograms of fuel during the flight, which lasted a total of 69 minutes.
The aircraft touched down on runway 23 at EDDH Hamburg Helmut Schmidt Airport with a firm touchdown rate of -302 fpm, slightly above the target speed of 130 kt. The touchdown distance of 461 meters was within acceptable limits, demonstrating good control and precision during the final stages of the approach. The threshold height was well-managed, allowing for a smooth transition from the approach to the touchdown phase.
The aircraft's alignment with the runway centerline was perfect, both at touchdown and during the rollout phase. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating a high degree of control and stability during the deceleration phase. The total landing distance of 1,243 meters, which accounted for approximately 40% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. The approach quality was good, with a slight deviation from the target threshold speed of 139 kt, which was still within the acceptable range.
The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 23 °C and a wind speed of 5 kt at 20 °, contributed to a relatively straightforward landing. The crosswind component of 2 kt and the tailwind component of 4 kt were minimal, allowing the pilot to maintain control and stability throughout the approach and touchdown phases. Overall, the landing was scored at 98.5%, reflecting a high degree of precision and control during the approach, touchdown, and rollout phases.
