This flight was conducted on an Airbus A321 aircraft, starting its enroute climb from a location 1 mile southwest of Lemsahl-Mellingstedt, a suburb in the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg, Germany. The aircraft began its ascent from an initial altitude of 1,122 feet above sea level, rapidly increasing to 997 feet in less than a minute, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it initiated its final approach to runway 23 at Hamburg Helmut Schmidt Airport (EDDH), located in the north-east. At this point, the aircraft was flying at an altitude of 949 feet above ground level and a distance of 3 nautical miles from the runway, heading in a northeasterly direction at 230.0 degrees.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on runway 23, which has a length of 2,790 meters. The threshold height was satisfactory, but the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 137 knots. The touchdown distance was within acceptable limits at 379 meters, although the touchdown speed of 134 knots was a bit faster than desired. The touchdown rate was also somewhat hard, measuring -418 feet per minute.
Despite these minor issues, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius. The total landing distance covered by the aircraft was 1,730 meters, which accounted for approximately 62% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
In terms of performance, the flight covered a total distance of 4 nautical miles, taking approximately 3 minutes to complete. The aircraft consumed 77 kilograms of fuel during this time, demonstrating its efficiency and reliability. Overall, the flight was a successful one, with only minor deviations from the ideal performance.

The Airbus A321 successfully landed at Hamburg Helmut Schmidt Airport (EDDH) on runway 23, achieving a score of 96.8%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north-east, heading 230.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 949 feet above ground level (agl). The landing was executed on a runway with a length of 2,790 meters, providing a sufficient margin for the aircraft's landing requirements.
The threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct height as it approached the runway threshold. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 137 knots, which may have been due to various factors such as wind resistance or the aircraft's descent rate. Despite this, the touchdown distance was within acceptable limits at 379 meters.
However, the touchdown speed of 134 knots was slightly faster than the target speed, which may have contributed to a harder touchdown rate of -418 feet per minute (fpm). This is a critical aspect of landing, as a hard touchdown can put excessive stress on the aircraft's landing gear and potentially cause damage.
Despite the slightly fast touchdown speed, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15°C, which is within the normal operating range for the Airbus A321.
The total landing distance of 1,730 meters was 62% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. This suggests that the landing was executed efficiently, with the aircraft touching down and coming to a stop within a relatively short distance. The runway rollout alignment was also reported as very good, indicating that the aircraft remained aligned with the runway centerline during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was executed successfully, with the aircraft touching down safely and coming to a stop within a relatively short distance. However, the slightly fast touchdown speed and hard touchdown rate are areas for improvement, and the pilots may need to adjust their approach and landing techniques to achieve a smoother touchdown.
