Departure
Arrival
This flight began with an enroute climb from Fuhlsbuettel, a location within the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg, Germany. The aircraft, an Airbus A321, started its ascent from a height of 88 feet above sea level and climbed to 3,000 feet above sea level in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles. This rapid ascent demonstrates the aircraft's impressive climb capabilities.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started approximately 1 mile west of Lemsahl-Mellingstedt, another location within the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg, Germany. During this 3-minute period, the aircraft maintained a steady altitude and covered a distance of 10 nautical miles. This cruise phase likely allowed the crew to stabilize the aircraft and prepare for the next phase of the flight.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its enroute descent from a height of 3,001 feet above sea level to 1,471 feet above sea level. This descent, which took 4 minutes to complete, covered a distance of 5 nautical miles. The aircraft's descent was likely a gradual and controlled process, allowing the crew to maintain a safe and stable approach to the airport.
The final approach to runway 05 at EDDH Hamburg Helmut Schmidt Airport was initiated from a position 1 mile south east of Appen, a location in the German state of Schleswig-Holstein. The aircraft approached the runway from the south west, heading at an angle of 50.0 degrees, and was at an altitude of 1,420 feet above ground level. The crew's approach was likely guided by the aircraft's autopilot system and visual references from the cockpit.
The landing on runway 05 was successful, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 118 knots. However, the touchdown point was slightly beyond the designated touchdown zone, at a distance of 105 meters. The touchdown speed was within the acceptable range, but the touchdown rate was slightly higher than ideal at -200 feet per minute. Additionally, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline, by 3.8 meters.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -3 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 14 knots from a direction of 90 degrees. The crosswind component was 9 knots, while the headwind component was 10 knots. These conditions likely presented a challenge for the crew, but they were able to successfully navigate the aircraft to a safe landing.
In terms of performance, the flight covered a total distance of 23 nautical miles and used 523 kilograms of fuel. The flight duration was 11 minutes, which is a relatively short period of time for an Airbus A321. Overall, the flight was a successful demonstration of the aircraft's capabilities and the crew's skills in navigating challenging weather conditions.

The Airbus A321 successfully landed at EDDH Hamburg Helmut Schmidt Airport, achieving a score of 98.1%. The aircraft approached the runway from the southwest, heading 50.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,420 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was made to runway 05, which has a length of 2,790 meters.
The landing was executed with good threshold height, but the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 131 knots. This indicates that the aircraft may have been slightly fast during the final approach, but it still managed to touch down safely. The touchdown point was 105 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation.
The touchdown speed of 118 knots was within the acceptable range, indicating that the aircraft was able to slow down effectively during the landing. However, the touchdown rate of -200 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair, suggesting that the aircraft may have experienced a slightly higher-than-desired rate of descent during the final approach.
In terms of runway alignment, the aircraft touched down slightly off-centerline, deviating by 3.8 meters from the centerline. This is a relatively minor deviation and may not have had a significant impact on the safety of the landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of -3°C and a wind speed of 14 knots from a direction of 90°. This resulted in a crosswind of 9 knots and a headwind of 10 knots, which may have affected the aircraft's approach and landing. However, the pilots were able to successfully navigate these conditions and execute a safe landing.
