Flight Score
Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a fixed point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline during the roll.
What happened: The aircraft drifted 13 m off the runway centreline during the ground roll, and wing drift like that usually keeps reappearing as bank in the climb, with 9° of bank in the first climb segment and 3.3° still showing in the second.
Watch for: Heading indicator: steady on the runway centreline during the roll, then wings level through the climb.
A small uncorrected heading error at 40 knots becomes a metre of offset per second by 100 knots, noticed only at rotation, producing a crabbed liftoff. Root cause is nearly always eyes on the tape instead of the far end of the runway. Small heading changes displace a distant point visibly long before the nearby centreline stripes look wrong.

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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 2,151 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,151 m of the 3,216 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 535 m past the threshold — beyond 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 7 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The Airbus A320 then departed from runway 19R at ENGM Oslo Airport, Gardermoen, with a takeoff distance of 1,238 meters, which accounted for 34% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 167 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 4 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 11 knots blowing from a direction of 220 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 10 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead ENGM Oslo Airport, Gardermoen, and ascending from an altitude of 1,725 feet above sea level to 32,243 feet above sea level, an increase of 30,518 feet in 15 minutes, covering a distance of 64 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise phase began overhead ENTO Sandefjord Airport, Torp, and lasted for 36 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 238 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its enroute descent, beginning 4 miles west of Harby, Denmark, and descending from an altitude of 32,551 feet above sea level to 10,578 feet above sea level, a decrease of 21,973 feet in 14 minutes, covering a distance of 76 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, starting 2 miles south east of Heidmuhlen, Germany, and lasting for 2 minutes, during which it covered a distance of 7 nautical miles. The enroute descent phase began overhead Schmalfeld, Germany, and the aircraft descended from an altitude of 10,572 feet above sea level to 1,342 feet above sea level, a decrease of 9,230 feet in 10 minutes, covering a distance of 11 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 15 at EDDH Hamburg Helmut Schmidt Airport was made from the north west, with the aircraft heading 153.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,291 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 15, which had a length of 3,216 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 134 knots.
The touchdown point was 113 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was a little fast at 128 knots. The touchdown rate was fair at -200 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 10 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 11 knots blowing from a direction of 160 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 11 knots.
The total landing distance was 2,064 meters, which accounted for 64% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, and the aircraft then began taxiing to the parking area, a process that took 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 404 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 87 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 3,481 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at Hamburg Helmut Schmidt Airport (EDDH) on runway 15, achieving a score of 98.9%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north-west, heading 153.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,291 feet above ground level (agl).
The final approach was executed with good threshold height, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 134 knots. However, the touchdown speed of 128 knots was slightly higher than the desired speed, indicating a minor deviation from the optimal landing parameters. The touchdown rate of -200 feet per minute (fpm) was considered fair, suggesting a moderate rate of descent.
The landing was further evaluated based on the touchdown point, which was located 113 meters beyond the touchdown zone. This indicates that the aircraft touched down slightly further down the runway than intended. Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, demonstrating precise control and navigation during the final stages of the approach.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 10°C and a wind speed of 11 knots from a direction of 160°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 11 knots, which likely contributed to the aircraft's ability to maintain a stable approach.
The total landing distance of 2,064 meters was 64% of the available runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control and stability during the post-landing phase. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with minor deviations from the optimal parameters.
