Flight Score
Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.
What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 8.7 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
A small uncorrected heading error at 40 knots becomes a metre of offset per second by 100 knots, noticed only at rotation, producing a crabbed liftoff. Root cause is nearly always eyes on the tape instead of the far end of the runway. Small heading changes displace a distant point visibly long before the nearby centreline stripes look wrong.

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 2,484 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 327 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 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, an Airbus A321, then departed from runway 33 at EDDH Hamburg Helmut Schmidt Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,299 meters, which is 40% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 158 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of 7°C, with a wind speed of 7 knots at 220°. The crosswind component was 7 knots, while the tailwind component was 3 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile southwest of Langenhorn, Germany. The climb took 23 minutes, during which the aircraft ascended from 1,149 feet above sea level to 36,242 feet above sea level, covering a distance of 153 nautical miles.
After reaching the cruising altitude, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 5 miles east of Dragor, Denmark. This phase lasted for 45 minutes and covered a distance of 325 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 11 miles northeast of Soedersvik, Sweden. The descent took 19 minutes, during which the aircraft descended from 35,525 feet above sea level to 1,301 feet above sea level, covering a distance of 95 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 08 at EFTU Turku Airport was made from the west, with a heading of 85.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,148 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 08, which has a length of 2,484 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 122 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 326 meters, and the touchdown speed was 124 knots, which was also good. The touchdown rate was good at -179 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of -2°C, with a wind speed of 14 knots at 149°. The crosswind component was 13 knots, while the headwind component was 6 knots. The total landing distance was 1,244 meters, which is 50% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 580 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 95 minutes. The aircraft used 4,745 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A321 successfully landed at EFTU Turku Airport, achieving a high score of 99.1%. The aircraft approached the runway from the west, heading 85.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,148 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with precision, and the aircraft landed smoothly on runway 08, which has a length of 2,484 meters.
The threshold height was satisfactory, and the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 122 knots. This indicates that the pilot maintained control and managed the aircraft's speed effectively during the approach. The touchdown distance of 326 meters was also within acceptable limits, demonstrating the pilot's ability to navigate the aircraft to a safe landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was 124 knots, which is considered good. The touchdown rate of -179 feet per minute (fpm) was also within the acceptable range, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, showing that the pilot maintained the aircraft's alignment with the runway during the final stages of the approach.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of -2°C and a wind speed of 14 knots from a direction of 149°. The crosswind component was 13 knots, while the headwind component was 6 knots. Despite these challenging conditions, the pilot successfully managed the aircraft's approach and landing.
The total landing distance of 1,244 meters was 50% of the runway length, which is a good indication of the pilot's ability to navigate the aircraft to a safe landing. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, demonstrating the pilot's control and precision during the landing phase. Overall, the landing was executed with precision and control, resulting in a high score of 99.1%.
