The flight began with an enroute climb from Hamburg Helmut Schmidt Airport, located in the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg, Germany. The Airbus A321 aircraft took off from a height of 50 feet above sea level and climbed to 3,001 feet above sea level in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles. This rapid ascent showcased the aircraft's impressive climb capabilities.

Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, where it maintained a steady altitude for 9 minutes while covering a distance of 10 nautical miles. This cruise phase allowed the pilots to stabilize the aircraft and prepare for the final approach to the destination airport.

The final approach to runway 05 at Hamburg Helmut Schmidt Airport was initiated from the south-west, with the aircraft heading at a precise 50.0 degrees. The pilots maintained a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway while flying at an altitude of 1,417 feet above ground level. The approach was characterized by a good threshold height, with the threshold speed being well above the target speed of 138 knots.

Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway at a speed of 130 knots, which was slightly faster than the ideal touchdown speed. However, the touchdown distance of 425 meters was considered good, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of -4 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 15 knots at 90 degrees, presented a moderate challenge for the pilots.

The total landing distance of 1,224 meters was 44% of the runway length, indicating a smooth and controlled landing. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, with the aircraft coming to a stop in a straight line. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in just 3 minutes, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.

The flight was completed with a total distance of 19 nautical miles, taking 16 minutes to complete. The aircraft consumed 533 kilograms of fuel during the flight, demonstrating its efficiency and performance capabilities. Overall, the flight was characterized by a smooth and controlled climb, cruise, and landing, with the pilots demonstrating excellent skills and judgment throughout the flight.

Takeoff on runway at in the Airbus A321

Landing on runway 05 at EDDH Hamburg Helmut Schmidt Airport in the Airbus A321

Landing Score 99.52 %

Landing Summary

The Airbus A321 successfully landed at EDDH Hamburg Helmut Schmidt Airport, achieving a score of 99.5%. The aircraft approached the runway from the southwest, heading 50.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,417 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with precision, resulting in a good threshold height.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was significantly above the target speed, reaching 138 knots. This indicates that the pilot had sufficient control over the aircraft's descent and was able to maintain a stable approach. The touchdown distance of 425 meters was also within acceptable limits, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's speed and altitude during the landing phase.

However, the touchdown speed of 130 knots was slightly faster than desired, which may have resulted in a slightly higher touchdown rate. Nevertheless, the actual touchdown rate of -169 feet per minute (fpm) was still within acceptable limits, indicating that the pilot was able to maintain control over the aircraft's descent.

The runway touchdown alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilot had successfully aligned the aircraft with the runway centerline. This is a critical aspect of landing, as it ensures that the aircraft is properly positioned for a safe and controlled rollout.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of -4°C and a wind speed of 15 knots from a direction of 90°. The crosswind component was 9 knots, while the headwind component was 11 knots. Despite these challenging conditions, the pilot was able to execute a smooth and controlled landing.

The total landing distance of 1,224 meters was 44% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. This suggests that the pilot had successfully managed the aircraft's speed and altitude during the landing phase, resulting in a short and controlled rollout.

Finally, the runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot had successfully maintained control over the aircraft's direction and speed during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was executed with precision and control, resulting in a score of 99.5%.
