Improve the takeoff
The rudder input is a changing profile through the roll rather than one that is held. So the demand on your right foot starts large at power application, eases as speed builds and the rudder gains authority, then jumps again at rotation.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,688 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,688 m of the 3,189 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 361 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft, an Airbus A321, taxiing from the parking area to the runway at EFHK Helsinki Vantaa Airport. This process took 8 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 04R, with the aircraft taking off after covering 58% of the runway's length. The takeoff distance was 1,854 meters, and the liftoff speed was 162 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 28 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 5 knots from a direction of 140 degrees. There was no headwind, but a crosswind of 5 knots was present. As the aircraft took off, it began its enroute climb, which started 1 mile northeast of the airport. The climb took the aircraft from an altitude of 1,152 feet above sea level to 34,160 feet, an increase of 33,009 feet, in 24 minutes and covering a distance of 141 nautical miles.
After the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 9 minutes and covered a distance of 66 nautical miles. This phase took place 50 miles southeast of Mariehamn. The aircraft then began another climb, this time from 34,329 feet to 36,191 feet, an increase of 1,862 feet, in just 3 minutes and covering a distance of 28 nautical miles. This climb started 35 miles southeast of Muskoe.
Following the second climb, the aircraft entered another level cruise phase, which lasted for 41 minutes and covered a distance of 333 nautical miles. This phase took place 33 miles northwest of Laerbro. The aircraft then began its descent, which started 1 mile southwest of Staebelow and took it from an altitude of 35,921 feet to 1,459 feet, a decrease of 34,462 feet, in 24 minutes and covering a distance of 122 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, EDDV Hannover Airport, it began its final approach to runway 27R from the east, heading 273.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,276 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 6 knots from a direction of 260 degrees. There was a headwind of 6 knots and a crosswind of 1 knot.
The aircraft landed on runway 27R, which had a length of 3,189 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 144 knots. The touchdown distance was 361 meters, which was good, but the touchdown speed of 143 knots was a little fast. The touchdown rate was firm at -391 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 4.0 meters.
The total landing distance was 1,610 meters, which was 50% of the runway's length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. After landing, the aircraft taxiied to the parking area, a process that took 4 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile.
In total, the flight covered a distance of 699 nautical miles and took 116 minutes to complete. The aircraft used 5,464 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A321 successfully landed at EDDV Hannover Airport, achieving a score of 96.6%. The aircraft approached the runway from the east, heading 273.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,276 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with good control, and the aircraft landed safely on runway 27R, which has a length of 3,189 meters.
The threshold height was satisfactory, and the threshold speed was maintained at 144 knots, indicating a well-executed approach. The touchdown distance was also within acceptable limits at 361 meters. However, the touchdown speed of 143 knots was slightly higher than desired, which may have contributed to a firm touchdown rate of -391 feet per minute (fpm). This firm touchdown rate could have resulted in a slightly bumpy ride for passengers.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.0 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a minor deviation in the approach or a slight drift during the landing. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 16°C and a gentle headwind of 6 knots at 260°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, which further contributed to a smooth landing.
The total landing distance of 1,610 meters was within 50% of the runway length, indicating a controlled and efficient landing. The runway rollout alignment was very good, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control and stability during the landing phase. Overall, the landing was successful, and the aircraft was brought to a safe stop within a reasonable distance.
