Arrival
Use small rudder inputs against a point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline during rollout.
What happened: During the rollout the aircraft drifted 5.3 m off the centreline.
Watch for: Runway centreline marks: hold the aircraft tracking straight down the centreline through rollout
See Arrival Rollout
Ground control varies with speed, full authority at walking pace, progressively reducing as groundspeed rises. The aircraft becomes twitchy at any speed, every small pedal input swings the nose, which can encourage large-amplitude leg inputs that no real aircraft would accept.

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 2,943 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 438 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, the Airbus A321 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 16 minutes and covered a distance of 5 nautical miles. As it reached the runway threshold, the aircraft started its departure roll on runway 36L, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 151 knots. The takeoff distance of 1,719 meters was achieved at 49% of the runway length, with a local temperature of 13°C and wind conditions of 18 knots at 40°, resulting in a 10-knot crosswind and a 14-knot headwind.
As the aircraft climbed away from Schiphol, it began its enroute climb 1 mile east of Vijfhuizen, Netherlands, reaching an altitude of 30,509 feet above sea level in 14 minutes and covering a distance of 74 nautical miles. The climb was characterized by a significant increase of 29,531 feet, with a steady rate of ascent. Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase 1 mile northeast of Ravenswoud, Netherlands, lasting 5 minutes and covering 41 nautical miles. The enroute descent phase commenced 2 miles southeast of Leer, Germany, with the aircraft descending from 31,012 feet to 1,371 feet above sea level in 18 minutes and covering 96 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached Hamburg Helmut Schmidt Airport, it began its final approach to runway 05 from the southwest, aligning itself with the runway at 4 nautical miles and 1,317 feet above ground level. The landing was executed with a threshold speed of 138 knots and a touchdown distance of 445 meters, which was 49% of the runway length. Although the touchdown speed of 131 knots was slightly above the ideal, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the runway rollout alignment was also satisfactory. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 221 nautical miles, with a flight time of 58 minutes and a fuel consumption of 2,458 kilograms.
The aircraft, an Airbus A321, successfully executed a final approach to runway 05 at EDDH Hamburg Helmut Schmidt Airport from the south west, aligning with the runway at a heading of 50.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,317 feet above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 138 knots, which met the required standards.
As the aircraft touched down on the runway, the touchdown distance of 445 meters was within acceptable limits, but the touchdown speed of 131 knots was slightly above the optimal range. The touchdown rate of -269 feet per minute was fair, indicating a moderate deceleration. Notably, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, demonstrating precise control and coordination from the flight crew. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 8°C and a gentle headwind of 6 knots, contributed to a smooth landing.
The total landing distance of 1,380 meters, which accounted for 49% of the runway length, was within the acceptable range. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, showcasing the crew's ability to maintain control and stability during the critical phase of the landing. Overall, the landing performance scored 98.0%, reflecting a high level of proficiency and adherence to standard operating procedures.
