Flight Score
Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.
What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 11 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Fly a steeper descent on final so you cross the threshold at 50 ft.
What happened: You crossed the threshold at 101 ft agl, above the 50 ft agl target. Crossing high like this usually reduces your margin before the touchdown zone ends.
Watch for: Radio altimeter against 50 ft at the threshold.
See Arrival Landing
Even a modest height error carries straight through to the touchdown. Geometry alone says that crossing the threshold 10 feet high on a 3° path moves your touchdown roughly 190 feet further down the runway before the flare adds anything.

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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,092 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 387 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The 2.07 G arrival is the firm side of smooth.
The rest of the report
Taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Athens Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport took approximately 6 minutes, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. The Airbus A320 then departed from runway 03R, utilizing 64% of the 2,164-meter runway to achieve liftoff at a speed of 164 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 31 °C, with a 5-knot headwind and a crosswind of 1 knot.
As the aircraft climbed to cruising altitude, it began its enroute climb approximately 1 mile southwest of Artemida, Greece, at an altitude of 1,304 feet above sea level. The climb phase lasted 19 minutes, during which the aircraft ascended to 34,047 feet above sea level, covering a distance of 166 nautical miles. Following the climb, the aircraft entered a 38-minute enroute level cruise phase, which spanned 938 nautical miles. The descent phase commenced 2 miles west of Gollensdorf, Germany, and lasted 24 minutes, during which the aircraft descended from 34,004 feet to 1,353 feet above sea level, covering a distance of 106 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 23 at Hamburg Helmut Schmidt Airport was initiated from the northeast, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 230.0° at an altitude of 1,300 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway threshold. The landing was executed on the 2,790-meter runway, with the threshold height being excessively over target. However, the touchdown speed of 136 knots and touchdown distance of 341 meters were both within acceptable limits. The aircraft touched down with a rate of -1,201 feet per minute, which was considered heavy. Additionally, the runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned from the centerline by 21.4 meters. The local weather conditions at the time of landing featured a temperature of 19 °C, with a 7-knot headwind and a 4-knot crosswind. The total flight distance was 1,217 nautical miles, with a total flight time of 83 minutes and a fuel consumption of 2,067 kilograms.
The final approach to runway 23 at EDDH Hamburg Helmut Schmidt Airport from the north east was initiated with a heading of 230.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,300 feet above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a threshold speed of 138 knots, which met the target. However, the threshold height at 101 feet above ground level was excessively over target, indicating a higher-than-desired altitude at the threshold.
As the aircraft touched down on the runway, the touchdown distance of 341 meters was within the acceptable range. The touchdown speed of 136 knots was also good, indicating a controlled descent. However, the touchdown rate of -1,201 feet per minute was very heavy, suggesting a high rate of descent that may have put additional stress on the aircraft's landing gear. The runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned by 21.4 meters from the centreline, which may have been due to a combination of factors including crosswind and pilot error.
During the rollout phase, the aircraft maintained a steady speed, and the local weather conditions, with a temperature of 19°C and a wind of 8 knots at 257°, did not pose a significant challenge. The crosswind component of 4 knots and the headwind component of 7 knots were relatively minor, and the aircraft was able to maintain its centreline alignment despite the misaligned touchdown. Overall, the landing was scored 69.3%, indicating a satisfactory but not exceptional performance.
