The flight began with taxiing from the parking to the runway, a process that took 10 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. Departure occurred from runway 05R at Düsseldorf Airport (EDDL), with a takeoff distance of 1,338 meters, equivalent to 56% of the runway length. The liftoff speed reached 155 knots.

As the aircraft climbed, it reached a speed of 155 knots and climbed to an altitude of 28,546 feet above sea level. The enroute climb started approximately 1 mile north east of Düsseldorf Airport and took 14 minutes to cover a distance of 82 nautical miles, resulting in an altitude gain of 27,379 feet.

Local weather conditions were favorable during the initial climb, with a temperature of 18 degrees Celsius and winds of 6 knots at a direction of 339 degrees. The crosswind was 6 knots, and the headwind was 2 knots, contributing to a relatively stable flight path.

The enroute descent began 1 mile south west of Alfhausen, with a descent from 28,748 feet to 7,011 feet in 11 minutes and covering a distance of 69 nautical miles. The subsequent level cruise commenced overhead Basdahl, lasting 5 minutes and covering 25 nautical miles.

However, descent procedures were implemented once again, starting overhead Neuendeich. A gentle descent ensued from 7,016 feet to 5,007 feet in 2 minutes, a distance of 6 nautical miles.

As the aircraft entered level-flight, it leveled off at an altitude of 5,007 feet and flew over Klein Offenseth-Sparrieshoop for 8 minutes while covering 6 nautical miles.

Once again, the crew initiated a descent, this time from 4,423 feet to 1,366 feet above sea level in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 10 nautical miles.

The final approach was executed to runway 15 at Hamburg Helmut Schmidt Airport (EDDH), which is situated to the north west. The aircraft maintained a heading of 153.0 degrees for a distance of 4 nautical miles, flying at an altitude of 1,320 feet above ground level.

Initially, the aircraft went around the runway due to unknown reasons at an altitude of 118 feet agl. But eventually the aircraft landed on the runway 15 at EDDH, a runway that is 3,216 meters long, in a gentle manner. Although the threshold height was slightly above target, the aircraft touched down at a speed of 127 knots and a speed good enough for landing. Touchdown distance was also good at 326 meters and the touchdown speed of 122 knots was also good. But due to a heavy rate of descent of -608 fpm the touchdown was a bit harsh.

The total landing distance covered 2,192 meters, accounting for approximately 68% of the runway length. Runway rollout alignment proved to be very good throughout the process.

Taxiing from the runway to the parking took 3 minutes, a duration even shorter than the initial taxiing process. The total flight distance was 214 nautical miles, and the entire journey took around 74 minutes. Additionally, the aircraft utilized 3,825 kilograms of fuel to complete the flight.

Landing on runway 15 at EDDH Hamburg Helmut Schmidt Airport in the Airbus A321

Landing Summary

The Airbus A321 successfully landed at EDDH Hamburg Helmut Schmidt Airport on runway 15, demonstrating a satisfactory performance. The aircraft's final approach from the northwest, heading 153.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,320 feet above ground level (agl), was executed effectively.

Upon landing, the threshold height was slightly above the target, but this was compensated by a good threshold speed of 127 knots. This indicates that the crew had sufficient control and precision throughout the landing process. Furthermore, the touchdown distance of 326 meters was satisfactory, and the touchdown speed of 122 knots was within acceptable limits.

However, the touchdown rate was considered heavy at -608 feet per minute (fpm), indicating a slight impact upon touchdown. This could be due to various factors, such as a steeper-than-desired rate of descent or inadequate reverse thrust application. Despite this, the runway touchdown position was only slightly misaligned by 3.1 meters from the centreline, which is a relatively minor deviation.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were moderate, with a temperature of 19°C and winds of 10 knots at 70°. The crosswind component was 10 knots, while the headwind component was minimal at 1 knot. This implies that the aircraft was subject to a moderate crosswind, but the crew was still able to control the aircraft effectively.

The total landing distance of 2,192 meters was 68% of the runway length, which is a reasonable outcome considering the aircraft's size and the winds encountered. Moreover, the runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the crew had sufficient control and ability to stabilize the aircraft after touchdown.

In conclusion, the Airbus A321 landed safely and effectively at EDDH Hamburg Helmut Schmidt Airport, with only minor deviations from the ideal performance. The crew's skills and the aircraft's capabilities were demonstrated throughout the landing process, and the outcome was satisfactory given the conditions encountered.
