Improve the takeoff
The rudder input is a changing profile through the roll rather than one that is held. So the demand on your right foot starts large at power application, eases as speed builds and the rudder gains authority, then jumps again at rotation.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,859 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 454 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 05 at Hamburg-Finkenwerder Airport, with the Airbus A319 taking off after a distance of 816 meters, which accounted for 44% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 135 knots. At the time of departure, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 17 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 0 knots from a direction of 270 degrees, resulting in no crosswind or headwind.
As the aircraft climbed, it started its enroute climb 1 mile west of Ottensen, a suburb in the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg, Germany. The climb was steep, with the aircraft rising from an altitude of 1,071 feet above sea level to 2,698 feet in just 1 minute, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 6 minutes and covered a distance of 7 nautical miles.
The enroute descent phase began 1 mile east of Fuhlsbuettel, another suburb in Hamburg, Germany. The aircraft descended from an altitude of 2,903 feet above sea level to 1,305 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 23 at Hamburg-Finkenwerder Airport was made from the north-east, with the aircraft heading in a direction of 232.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,280 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway.
The landing on runway 23 was successful, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 105 knots and a distance of 454 meters. However, the touchdown rate was hard, at -422 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 10.3 meters. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 0 knots from a direction of 270 degrees, resulting in no crosswind or headwind.
The total landing distance was 1,208 meters, which accounted for 65% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned from the centreline by 11.5 meters. The total flight distance was 21 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 14 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 743 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A319 aircraft successfully landed at EDHI Hamburg-Finkenwerder Airport, achieving a score of 92.1%. The final approach to runway 23 was initiated from the north east, with a heading of 232.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,280 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 112 knots.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft performed well, with a touchdown distance of 454 meters, which is within the acceptable range. The touchdown speed was also good at 105 knots. However, the touchdown rate was slightly hard at -422 feet per minute (fpm), which may indicate a slight loss of control during the landing phase.
One notable issue during the landing was the misalignment of the runway touchdown position, which was off-centerline by 10.3 meters. This may have been due to a slight deviation in the aircraft's approach path or a miscalculation of the runway alignment. Additionally, the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 11.5 meters from the centerline, which may have been caused by a similar issue during the landing phase.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 0 knots from 270°. This resulted in a crosswind and headwind of 0 knots, making the landing conditions ideal. Overall, the aircraft performed well during the landing, but there were some minor issues with alignment that need to be addressed to improve the score.
