Speed on the fast side
Speed at this height is usually bought with gradient. It's rarely dangerous and it's often just an early acceleration, but with flaps still out you may be heading towards the flap limit and a flat fast climb puts you at the acceleration altitude with the cleaning-up still to do.

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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,092 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 419 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Bergen Airport, Flesland, the Airbus A321 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took approximately 9 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. As the aircraft reached the runway threshold, it initiated its departure roll on runway 35, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 159 knots. The takeoff distance of 1,164 meters, which accounted for 48% of the runway, was achieved in a relatively short period.
Following a smooth takeoff, the aircraft began its enroute climb, which started 1 mile north of Flesland. The climb phase saw the aircraft ascend from 1,002 feet above sea level to 36,771 feet, a vertical increase of 35,769 feet, in 21 minutes and covering a distance of 138 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise phase commenced 3 miles northeast of Egersund, lasting 22 minutes and covering 175 nautical miles. As the aircraft approached its destination, it initiated its enroute descent, which began 2 miles east of EK42 Soender Felding Vest Soender Felding. The descent phase saw the aircraft decrease its altitude from 37,021 feet to 1,373 feet, a vertical decrease of 35,648 feet, in 24 minutes and covering 153 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 23 at Hamburg Helmut Schmidt Airport was executed from the northeast, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 230.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,320 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 131 knots, slightly above the target speed. The touchdown distance of 418 meters was within acceptable limits, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. Following a smooth rollout, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took approximately 6 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance of 476 nautical miles was achieved in 82 minutes, with the aircraft consuming 3,630 kilograms of fuel.
The aircraft touched down on runway 23 at EDDH Hamburg Helmut Schmidt Airport with a threshold height that met expectations. The approach quality was excellent, with a heading of 230.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,320 feet above ground level. The threshold speed was slightly above the target, registering 139 knots, but the touchdown distance of 418 meters was well within acceptable limits. The touchdown speed of 131 knots was a bit faster than desired, resulting in a fair touchdown rate of -291 feet per minute.
The aircraft maintained perfect runway touchdown alignment, and the local weather conditions, with a temperature of 13°C and a 14-knot headwind at 320°, did not pose any significant challenges. The crosswind component of 14 knots was effectively managed, allowing for a smooth touchdown. The total landing distance of 1,361 meters, which accounted for 49% of the runway length, was reasonable considering the aircraft's size and weight.
The rollout phase was executed flawlessly, with the aircraft maintaining very good alignment along the centerline. Overall, the landing performance was impressive, with a score of 98.5% reflecting the high level of proficiency demonstrated by the crew. The slight deviations from ideal touchdown speed and rate were minor and did not significantly impact the overall outcome, making this a successful and efficient landing.
