Landing on runway 05 at EDDH Hamburg Helmut Schmidt Airport in the Airbus A321

Landing Score 99.85 %

Landing Summary

The Airbus A321 successfully landed at Hamburg Helmut Schmidt Airport (EDDH) with a score of 99.8%. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the southwest, heading 50.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,412 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was conducted in accordance with standard procedures, and the aircraft landed safely on runway 05, which has a length of 2,790 meters.

The threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct altitude as it approached the runway. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 128 kt, registering at 129 kt. This minor deviation from the target speed did not appear to have any significant impact on the landing.

The touchdown point was located 51 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The touchdown speed of 118 kt was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -149 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth, indicating a controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was also reported as very good, suggesting that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway during the landing.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of -3°C and winds of 14 kt at 90°. The crosswind component was 9 kt, while the headwind component was 11 kt. These conditions presented a moderate challenge for the pilots, but they were able to successfully navigate the aircraft to a safe landing. Overall, the landing was considered a success, with the aircraft touching down safely and smoothly on the runway.
