Twenty knots on a monitor produces the visual sensation of about ten. The advice to "taxi at a walking pace" cannot fix this, because your sense of walking pace is exactly the thing that's broken. Put the groundspeed readout in your scan and obey it for the next fifty flights, the way a student pilot leans on the airspeed indicator before learning to read attitude.

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.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,216 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 331 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 14 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, an Airbus A321, then departed from runway 26 at Lennart Meri Tallinn Airport, EETN. The takeoff distance was 1,486 meters, which accounted for 46% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 163 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 9 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 15 knots at 230 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 10 knots and a headwind of 11 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile northwest of Peetri in Harjumaa, Estonia. The climb took 21 minutes and covered a distance of 132 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from 1,228 feet above sea level to 35,520 feet above sea level, an increase of 34,292 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 27 miles west of Kihelkonna in Saaremaa, Estonia. This phase lasted for 51 minutes and covered a distance of 353 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 3 miles northwest of Stege in Region Sjaelland, Denmark. The descent took 18 minutes and covered a distance of 98 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from 35,515 feet above sea level to 4,416 feet above sea level, a decrease of 31,099 feet.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 2 miles south of Heidmuhlen in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany. This phase lasted for only 3 minutes and covered a distance of 12 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting overhead Heidmoor in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany. The descent took 3 minutes and covered a distance of 8 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from 3,785 feet above sea level to 1,345 feet above sea level, a decrease of 2,440 feet.
The final approach to runway 15 at Hamburg Helmut Schmidt Airport, EDDH, was made from the northwest, with a heading of 153.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,294 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown distance of 330 meters and a touchdown speed of 129 knots. The touchdown rate was firm at -356 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 7 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 8 knots at 160 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 8 knots. The total landing distance was 1,255 meters, which accounted for 39% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took only 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 612 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 113 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 5,018 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A321 successfully landed at Hamburg Helmut Schmidt Airport (EDDH) on runway 15, achieving a high score of 98.6%. The aircraft approached the runway from the northwest, heading 153.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,294 feet above ground level (agl).
The pilot executed a precise final approach, taking into account the local weather conditions. The temperature was 7°C, and the wind was blowing at 8 knots from a direction of 160°. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 8 knots, which the pilot effectively managed during the landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft maintained a good threshold height, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 134 knots. The touchdown distance was within the acceptable range at 330 meters, and the touchdown speed was also good at 129 knots. The touchdown rate was firm at -356 feet per minute (fpm), indicating a controlled descent.
The most impressive aspect of this landing was the perfect runway touchdown alignment and rollout alignment. This suggests that the pilot maintained precise control over the aircraft throughout the landing process, ensuring a smooth and safe touchdown.
The total landing distance was 1,255 meters, which is 39% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the pilot executed a well-planned and controlled approach. Overall, this landing demonstrates the pilot's expertise and the aircraft's capabilities, resulting in a high score of 98.6%.
