Flight Score
Departure
Raise the gear lever promptly once a positive rate of climb is confirmed after liftoff.
What happened: The landing gear was never raised during the initial climb and was still down when the climb ended.
Watch for: Landing gear lever: UP promptly after confirming a positive rate of climb.
Arrival
Hold the approach aim point and let the aircraft settle onto 457 m instead of holding it off in the flare.
What happened: Touchdown point came 68 m past the target, landing at 525 m against the 457 m aim point, with threshold speed and the flare both within limits.
Watch for: Touchdown distance marker: 457 m from the threshold.
Make sure that you retract the landing gear once you have a positive rate of climb and there is no usable runway left to land back on.

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 1,552 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,552 m of the 3,092 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 525 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Dortmund Airport (EDLW) served as the departure point for the Airbus A320, which began its journey with a 6‑minute taxi to runway 06, covering 1 nm. The aircraft accelerated to a liftoff speed of 159 kt after a takeoff run of 851 m, utilizing 50 % of the available runway. Local conditions at departure were 28 °C with a 12 kt wind from 50°, providing a 2 kt crosswind and an 11 kt headwind. The climb commenced 1 mile north of Holzwickede, where the aircraft ascended from 1,094 ft to 23,011 ft, a gain of 21,917 ft over 10 minutes while covering 62 nm. Level cruise began 3 miles east of Bohmte‑Bad Essen (EDXD), lasting 7 minutes and covering 51 nm. Descent started 2 miles southeast of Osterholz‑Scharmbeck (EDRR), dropping from 23,004 ft to 1,397 ft, a loss of 21,607 ft in 24 minutes over 110 nm.
The final approach to runway 23 at Hamburg Helmut Schmidt Airport (EDDH) was executed from the northeast, maintaining a heading of 230.0° at 4 nm and 1,337 ft AGL. The aircraft touched down 106 m beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 121 kt, slightly above the target of 127 kt, with a touchdown rate of –170 fpm and a runway alignment described as very good. Local weather at the destination was 26 °C with an 8 kt wind from 320°, yielding an 8 kt crosswind and no headwind. The total landing distance was 1,468 m, representing 47 % of the 3,092 m runway, and the runway rollout alignment was noted as perfect.
After landing, the aircraft taxied back to the parking area in 4 minutes, covering 1 nm. The entire flight covered a distance of 231 nm, required 51 minutes of flight time, and consumed 2,018 kg of fuel.
The final approach to runway 23 at EDDH Hamburg Helmut Schmidt Airport was executed from the north‑east with a heading of 230.0°, 4 nm from the threshold and 1,337 ft above ground level. The aircraft maintained a threshold speed of 127 kt, slightly above the target, while the approach quality remained within acceptable limits. The touchdown occurred 106 m beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 121 kt, a little fast but within the operational envelope, and a touchdown rate of –170 fpm, indicating a smooth flare and descent profile.
At the moment of contact, the aircraft was aligned very well with the runway centreline, and the touchdown alignment was described as very good. The local weather conditions were 26 °C with an 8 kt wind from 320°, providing a headwind component of 0 kt and a crosswind of 8 kt. These conditions were effectively managed, contributing to the precise alignment and controlled touchdown.
The rollout covered 1,468 m, representing 47 % of the 3,092 m runway length, and the runway rollout alignment was perfect. Overall, the landing performance achieved a score of 99.1 %, reflecting an excellent execution of the approach, touchdown, and rollout phases.
