Flight Score
Departure
Level the wings with coordinated aileron to hold bank angle near zero during the initial climb, starting from 3.7°.
What happened: Bank angle was elevated during the initial climb and excess bank usually persists into the second climb segment.
Watch for: Attitude indicator, wings level with bank angle near zero degrees.
Below 10,000 ft you are typically limited to 250 kt indicated (a US rule that much of the world mirrors in some form, though not universally). This forces a deceleration around 10,000 ft whether the profile wants one or not, so plan for it rather than discovering it.

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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: speed above the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 2,075 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,075 m of the 3,216 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 418 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 8 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, an Airbus A321, then departed from runway 23L at Manchester Airport (EGCC), taking off with a takeoff distance of 1,228 meters, which was 43% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 157 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it encountered local weather conditions of 11°C temperature and a wind speed of 5 knots at 270°. The crosswind was 3 knots, while the headwind was 4 knots. The enroute climb started overhead Mobberley in Cheshire East, England, and took the aircraft from 1,237 feet above sea level to 37,572 feet above sea level, an increase of 36,335 feet in 23 minutes, covering a distance of 150 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 62 miles east of Easington in East Riding of Yorkshire, England, and lasted for 24 minutes, covering a distance of 177 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent from 37,816 feet above sea level to 24,533 feet above sea level, a decrease of 13,284 feet in 7 minutes, covering a distance of 50 nautical miles. This descent started 11 miles northwest of Juist in Lower Saxony, Germany.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting 8 miles east of Schillig in Lower Saxony, Germany, and lasting for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 11 nautical miles. The enroute descent started overhead Cappel in Lower Saxony, Germany, and took the aircraft from 24,548 feet above sea level to 9,743 feet above sea level, a decrease of 14,805 feet in 5 minutes, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting 1 mile southeast of Cappel in Lower Saxony, Germany, and lasting for 3 minutes, covering a distance of 17 nautical miles. The enroute descent started overhead Geversdorf in Lower Saxony, Germany, and took the aircraft from 9,706 feet above sea level to 3,185 feet above sea level, a decrease of 6,521 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 17 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting overhead Grevenkop in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany, and lasting for 3 minutes, covering a distance of 11 nautical miles. The enroute descent started overhead Langeln in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany, and took the aircraft from 2,854 feet above sea level to 1,344 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,510 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 15 at Hamburg Helmut Schmidt Airport (EDDH) was made from the northwest, heading 153.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,292 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 15 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 418 meters and a touchdown speed of 129 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was good at -192 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.2 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 7°C temperature and a wind speed of 9 knots at 130°. The crosswind was 4 knots, while the headwind was 8 knots. The total landing distance was 1,991 meters, which was 62% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
The taxi
The Airbus A321 successfully landed at Hamburg Helmut Schmidt Airport (EDDH) on runway 15, achieving a score of 99.3%. The aircraft approached the runway from the northwest, heading 153.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,292 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot maintained a good threshold height, which is a critical aspect of a safe landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was within the acceptable range at 133 knots. However, the touchdown speed of 129 knots was slightly faster than desired, which may have resulted in a slightly longer rollout distance. The touchdown rate of -192 feet per minute (fpm) was good, indicating a controlled descent.
The aircraft landed on the runway with a touchdown distance of 418 meters, which is within the acceptable range. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.2 meters from the centerline. This minor deviation may have been due to the crosswind component of 4 knots, which was present during the landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 7°C and a wind speed of 9 knots from a direction of 130°. The crosswind component was 4 knots, while the headwind component was 8 knots. These conditions may have contributed to the slight misalignment of the aircraft during touchdown.
The total landing distance of 1,991 meters was 62% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated good skills and judgment in navigating the aircraft to a safe touchdown.
