Arrival
Apply small rudder corrections at touchdown, aiming at a point at the far end of the runway, to stay on the centreline.
What happened: Touchdown drifted 4.8 m off the centreline, and landings like this usually carry that drift into the rollout, where the alignment error grew to 6.1 m.
Watch for: Runway centreline: aircraft tracking directly over it through touchdown and 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.

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 3,215 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 343 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Stockholm-Arlanda Airport, the Airbus A319 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took approximately 8 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. As the aircraft lined up on runway 01L, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 14 °C, a wind speed of 10 kt from 290°, resulting in a 10 kt crosswind and a 2 kt headwind. With a liftoff speed of 156 kt, the aircraft successfully took off, covering a distance of 1,684 meters, which was 51% of the runway length.
As the aircraft climbed to its enroute level, it ascended from 1,102 ft to 36,008 ft in 18 minutes, covering a distance of 114 nautical miles. The climb was initiated 1 mile north of the departure airport and continued until the aircraft reached its cruising altitude. The enroute level cruise phase that followed lasted 31 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 231 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, reducing its altitude from 35,991 ft to 4,302 ft in 19 minutes, covering a distance of 112 nautical miles. The final descent phase started 1 mile southwest of Drage, Germany, and lasted 4 minutes, during which the aircraft descended from 4,007 ft to 1,455 ft, covering a distance of 13 nautical miles.
The Airbus A319 then began its final approach to runway 33 at Hamburg Helmut Schmidt Airport, aligning itself with the runway from the southeast. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 16 °C, a wind speed of 7 kt from 310°, resulting in a 3 kt crosswind and a 7 kt headwind. The aircraft landed successfully, covering a touchdown distance of 343 meters, which was 34% of the runway length. The touchdown speed was slightly higher than the recommended threshold speed, but the runway rollout alignment was very good. The total landing distance was 1,100 meters, and the aircraft taxied to the parking area in 5 minutes, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 485 nautical miles, and the aircraft used 3,057 kg of fuel during the flight, which lasted a total of 87 minutes.
The final approach to runway 33 at EDDH Hamburg Helmut Schmidt Airport from the south east was executed with precision, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 333.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,402 feet above ground level. The approach quality was excellent, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 131 knots, well within the acceptable range. As the aircraft touched down on the 3,216-meter runway, the touchdown distance was good at 343 meters, indicating a well-executed flare.
However, the touchdown speed of 124 knots was slightly above the ideal range, resulting in a firm touchdown rate of -318 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.5 meters from the centreline, which could be attributed to a minor deviation in the approach path. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 16°C and a 7-knot headwind, contributed to a smooth landing experience.
The total landing distance of 1,100 meters, accounting for 34% of the runway, was within acceptable limits. The runway rollout alignment was very good, demonstrating the pilot's skill in maintaining control of the aircraft during the critical phase of the landing. Overall, the landing was scored 97.1%, reflecting a high level of proficiency and adherence to standard operating procedures.
