Flight Score
Departure
Apply small rudder corrections against a point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline during the roll.
What happened: The aircraft tracked 4.5 m off the runway centreline during the ground roll, and flights with this pattern usually carry extra bank, around 3.2°, into the first climb.
Watch for: Heading indicator: wings level, tracking the runway centreline
Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without it.

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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,840 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,840 m of the 3,287 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 223 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 9 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, an Airbus A321, then departed from runway 23 at EDDH Hamburg Helmut Schmidt Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,426 meters, which accounted for 51% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 148 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 19 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 12 knots at 169 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 10 knots and a headwind of 6 knots. The aircraft began its enroute climb approximately 1 mile northwest of Hamburg-Nord, Germany, and ascended from an altitude of 1,065 feet above sea level to 34,206 feet above sea level, an increase of 33,142 feet, in 19 minutes and covering 112 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 3 miles south of Praesto, Denmark, and lasted for 9 minutes, covering 71 nautical miles. The enroute descent began 10 miles north of Gilleleje, Denmark, and the aircraft descended from 34,082 feet above sea level to 1,789 feet above sea level, a decrease of 32,293 feet, in 20 minutes and covering 88 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 21 at ESGG Göteborg Landvetter Airport was made from the northeast, with a heading of 206.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,288 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 21 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 225 meters, which was 54% of the runway length. The threshold speed was good at 136 knots, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 131 knots, and the touchdown rate was heavy at -613 feet per minute.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 14 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 10 knots at 140 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 9 knots and a headwind of 4 knots. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the runway rollout alignment was also very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 5 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 280 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 60 minutes. The aircraft used 2,848 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A321 successfully landed at ESGG Göteborg Landvetter Airport, achieving a score of 94.0%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north east, heading 206.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,288 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with precision, and the aircraft landed safely on runway 21, which has a length of 3,287 meters.
The threshold height was satisfactory, and the threshold speed of 136 knots was also within the acceptable range. The touchdown distance of 225 meters was good, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain control and stability during the landing process. However, the touchdown speed of 131 knots was slightly faster than desired, which may have contributed to a heavier touchdown rate.
The touchdown rate of -613 feet per minute (fpm) was considered heavy, suggesting that the aircraft may have experienced a slight loss of lift or a more aggressive descent than intended. Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 14°C and a wind speed of 10 knots from a direction of 140°. The crosswind component was 9 knots, while the headwind component was 4 knots. These conditions may have contributed to the slightly faster touchdown speed and heavier touchdown rate.
The total landing distance of 1,761 meters was 54% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain control and stability during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was considered safe and successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score of 94.0%.
