Departing from Hamburg Helmut Schmidt Airport (EDDH), the Airbus A321 initiated its departure roll on runway 23, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 163 kt after covering 65% of the 1,827 m runway. The aircraft lifted off with a minimal takeoff distance, and the crew began the enroute climb phase shortly after clearing the airport's northern boundary. Climbing from an initial altitude of 995 ft asl to 1,513 ft asl, the aircraft achieved a vertical gain of 518 ft in just 1 minute, while covering a horizontal distance of 4 nm.

As the aircraft continued its journey, it entered the enroute level cruise phase, maintaining a steady altitude of 1,513 ft asl for 5 minutes while covering a distance of 19 nm. The crew then began the final approach to runway 23 at EDDH, descending from an altitude of 1,221 ft agl while heading 230.0° towards the airport. The aircraft touched down on the runway with a touchdown speed of 118 kt, slightly above the target speed, and a touchdown distance of 388 m, which was within acceptable limits. The total landing distance of 1,649 m, covering 59% of the 2,790 m runway, was also satisfactory.

Following a smooth touchdown, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking 2 minutes to cover a distance of less than 1 nm. The total flight distance of 29 nm was completed in 11 minutes, with the aircraft consuming 1,542 kg of fuel. The crew's performance was characterized by a high degree of precision and control, with perfect runway touchdown alignment and rollout alignment. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 17 °C and a wind speed of 1 kt at 0°, contributed to a smooth and uneventful flight.

Landing Summary

The aircraft touched down on runway 23 at EDDH Hamburg Helmut Schmidt Airport with a threshold height that met the desired standards. The approach quality was excellent, with a heading of 230.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,221 feet above ground level. The threshold speed was slightly above the target at 124 knots, but the touchdown distance of 388 meters was within acceptable limits. The touchdown speed of 118 knots was a little fast, resulting in a fair touchdown rate of -286 feet per minute.

The aircraft maintained perfect runway touchdown alignment, with the centreline of the aircraft aligned with the centreline of the runway. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 17°C and a wind speed of 1 knot at 0°. The crosswind and headwind components were negligible, at 1 knot and 0 knots respectively. The total landing distance of 1,649 meters was 59% of the runway length, indicating a good balance between touchdown distance and runway utilization.

The rollout phase was executed smoothly, with the aircraft maintaining perfect centreline alignment. The overall performance of the landing was excellent, with a score of 99.3%. The slight deviations in threshold speed and touchdown speed did not significantly impact the overall quality of the landing, and the aircraft's ability to maintain alignment and control throughout the rollout phase was a testament to the pilot's skill and the aircraft's handling characteristics.
