Departure
Ease the nose up sooner to lift off at 154 kt instead of letting speed build on the ground.
What happened: The aircraft lifted off at 170 kt, 16 kt above the target liftoff speed.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 154 kt at liftoff
See Departure Roll
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 rest of the report
The flight in question was operated by an Airbus A321 aircraft. The aircraft began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 8 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile (nm). The departure roll took place on runway 24 at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol (EHAM), with a takeoff distance of 1,354 meters, which accounted for 42% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 170 knots (kt).
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 22 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 16 kt at 239 degrees. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 kt, while the headwind component was 16 kt. The aircraft began its enroute climb 1 mile northwest of Aalsmeerderbrug, Provincie Noord-Holland, The Netherlands, and ascended from an altitude of 1,053 feet above sea level (asl) to 7,100 ft asl, an increase of 6,048 ft in 4 minutes, covering a distance of 14 nm.
The enroute level cruise phase started 1 mile northwest of Veldhuizen, Provincie Utrecht, The Netherlands, and lasted 11 minutes, covering a distance of 52 nm. The aircraft then began its enroute descent 1 mile south of Someren-Eind, Provincie Noord-Brabant, The Netherlands, and descended from 7,141 ft asl to 596 ft asl, a decrease of 6,545 ft in 8 minutes, covering a distance of 25 nm.
The flight continued with multiple enroute climb and level cruise phases, with the aircraft ascending and descending at various points over the Netherlands. The final approach to runway 21 at Eindhoven Airport (EHEH) was made from the northeast, with the aircraft heading 215.0 degrees at 4 nm and 1,269 ft above ground level (agl).
The landing on runway 21 at EHEH was successful, with a touchdown distance of 406 meters and a touchdown speed of 134 kt, which was slightly faster than the recommended threshold speed of 142 kt. The touchdown rate was fair at -288 feet per minute (fpm), and the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 11.8 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 17 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 5 kt at 230 degrees, with a crosswind component of 1 kt and a headwind component of 5 kt.
The total landing distance was 1,338 meters, which accounted for 53% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 13.1 meters from the centerline. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area, a process that took 8 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nm.
The total flight distance was 165 nm, and the flight duration was 72 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 3,041 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A321 aircraft successfully landed at Eindhoven Airport, achieving a score of 93.8%. The final approach to runway 21 was initiated from the north-east, heading 215.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,269 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach was characterized by a good threshold height, indicating that the pilots maintained a suitable altitude prior to touchdown.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway at a speed of 142 knots, which was within the acceptable threshold speed range. However, the touchdown speed of 134 knots was slightly faster than desired, suggesting that the pilots may have been able to maintain a more controlled descent. The touchdown rate of -288 feet per minute (fpm) was considered fair, indicating that the aircraft's rate of descent was not excessively steep.
One notable aspect of the landing was the misalignment of the runway touchdown position, which was off-centerline by 11.8 meters. This may have been due to factors such as crosswind or pilot error. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 17°C and a wind speed of 5 knots from 230°. The crosswind component was minimal, at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 5 knots.
The total landing distance of 1,338 meters was 53% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft was able to stop within a reasonable distance. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 13.1 meters from the centerline, suggesting that the pilots may have had difficulty maintaining a straight course during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was considered successful, but with some areas for improvement.
