Departing from Nuremberg Airport, the Airbus A321 initiated its enroute climb, ascending from an initial altitude of 1,026 feet above sea level to a cruising altitude of 30,007 feet, a vertical gain of 28,981 feet in just 12 minutes. This climb phase covered a distance of 65 nautical miles, positioning the aircraft for its subsequent cruise phase.

As the aircraft transitioned into its enroute level cruise, it maintained a steady altitude of 30,007 feet for 18 minutes, covering a distance of 136 nautical miles. This phase was punctuated by a brief descent and subsequent level cruise, which began approximately 3 miles west of Bornsen, Saxony-Anhalt. The aircraft then descended from 28,615 feet to 4,007 feet in 13 minutes, covering 72 nautical miles. Following this descent, the aircraft entered another level cruise phase, this time lasting just 5 minutes and covering 19 nautical miles.

The final approach to Hamburg Helmut Schmidt Airport began with a descent from 4,010 feet to 1,408 feet in just 3 minutes, covering 9 nautical miles. The aircraft then aligned itself for a final approach to runway 15, touching down at a speed of 122 knots and a distance of 422 meters. The touchdown rate was firm at -338 feet per minute, and while the touchdown speed was slightly above target, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area, completing the flight in 54 minutes and consuming 2,249 kilograms of fuel.

Landing Summary

The final approach to runway 15 at EDDH Hamburg Helmut Schmidt Airport from the north west was conducted in a heading of 153.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,358 feet above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a threshold height of 57 feet above ground level, slightly above the target. The threshold speed of 127 knots was also slightly above the target, indicating a slight increase in power application during the final stages of the approach.

The touchdown characteristics were good, with a touchdown distance of 422 meters. However, the touchdown speed of 122 knots was a little fast, indicating a slight loss of control during the flare. The touchdown rate of -338 feet per minute was firm, suggesting a controlled descent. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.6 meters from the centreline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the approach path. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 8°C and a wind of 7 knots at 90°, contributed to a crosswind of 6 knots and a headwind of 3 knots.

The total landing distance of 1,857 meters was 58% of the runway length, indicating a good utilization of the available runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good, with the aircraft maintaining a consistent path along the centreline. Overall, the landing was satisfactory, with a score of 96.8%. The slight deviations in threshold height and speed, as well as the slightly fast touchdown speed, were the main factors contributing to the score.
