Improve the rollout
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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,558 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,558 m of the 3,981 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 521 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Hamburg Helmut Schmidt Airport (EDDH), the Airbus A321 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took approximately 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. Upon reaching runway 33, the aircraft initiated its departure roll, utilizing 1,181 meters, or 37% of the runway, to achieve liftoff at a speed of 164 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 15°C, with a gentle wind of 4 knots at 260°, resulting in a negligible crosswind component and a slight headwind of 1 knot.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb approximately 1 mile southwest of Langenhorn, Germany. The climb phase saw the aircraft ascend from an initial altitude of 1,020 feet above sea level to a cruising altitude of 28,266 feet, a vertical increase of 27,246 feet, in just 13 minutes and covering a distance of 63 nautical miles. Following a 29-minute level cruise phase, during which the aircraft covered 191 nautical miles, the enroute descent phase commenced approximately 1 mile southeast of Wiesau, Germany. The descent saw the aircraft decrease in altitude from 29,006 feet to 2,823 feet, a vertical decrease of 26,183 feet, in 19 minutes and covering 108 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 26R at Munich Airport (EDDM) was initiated from the east, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 264.0° at an altitude of 1,347 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway threshold. The landing was executed on the 3,989-meter-long runway, with the aircraft touching down 107 meters beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 131 knots. The touchdown rate was satisfactory at -198 feet per minute, although the touchdown speed was slightly above the recommended threshold speed of 137 knots. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took approximately 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 370 nautical miles, with the aircraft consuming 3,399 kilograms of fuel during the 71-minute flight.
The aircraft touched down on runway 26R at EDDM Munich Airport, a 3,989-meter-long runway, after a final approach from the east. The approach quality was good, with a threshold height that met expectations. The threshold speed of 137 knots was also satisfactory, indicating a well-executed approach. However, the touchdown speed of 131 knots was slightly above the desired range, resulting in a touchdown rate of -198 feet per minute, which was still within acceptable limits.
The touchdown point was located 107 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 10.6 meters from the centerline. This slight deviation from the centerline was also observed during the rollout phase, where the aircraft was 10.3 meters off-centerline. Despite these minor deviations, the overall landing performance was satisfactory, with a total landing distance of 1,479 meters, which accounted for 37% of the runway length.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 10°C and a wind speed of 9 knots from 240°. The crosswind component was minimal at 4 knots, while the headwind component was 8 knots. Overall, the landing performance scored 94.3%, reflecting a well-executed approach and touchdown, but with some room for improvement in terms of touchdown speed and centerline alignment.
