Improve the taxi
Twenty knots on a monitor produces the visual sensation of about ten. The advice to "taxi at a walking pace" cannot fix this, because your sense of walking pace is exactly the thing that's broken. Put the groundspeed readout in your scan and obey it for the next fifty flights, the way a student pilot leans on the airspeed indicator before learning to read attitude.

One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
Side view — the last 1,568 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,568 m of the 3,216 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 572 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 10 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, an Airbus A319, then departed from runway 28 at Zürich Airport (LSZH) in Switzerland. The takeoff distance was 1,089 meters, which accounted for 44% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 151 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 7°C and winds of 3 knots at 150 degrees. The crosswind was 2 knots, while the tailwind was 1 knot. The enroute climb began overhead Rumlang, a town in the Kanton Zurich region of Switzerland, where the aircraft climbed from an altitude of 2,461 feet above sea level to 37,645 feet above sea level, an increase of 35,185 feet in 20 minutes, covering a distance of 81 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started overhead Notzingen, a town in the Baden-Wuerttemberg region of Germany, and lasted for 83 minutes, covering a distance of 184 nautical miles. The enroute descent began 2 miles north of Weper Airfield Hardegsen in Lower Saxony, Germany, where the aircraft descended from 37,245 feet above sea level to 1,343 feet above sea level, a decrease of 35,902 feet in 35 minutes, covering a distance of 118 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 15 at Hamburg Helmut Schmidt Airport (EDDH) was made from the northwest, heading 153.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,294 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with the touchdown point being 149 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 126 knots, which was good, and the touchdown rate was excellent at -65 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 0°C and winds of 7 knots at 120 degrees. The crosswind was 4 knots, while the headwind was 6 knots. The total landing distance was 1,480 meters, which accounted for 46% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
In total, the flight distance was 391 nautical miles, taking 91 minutes, and the aircraft used 3,382 kilograms of fuel.
The Airbus A319 successfully landed at EDDH Hamburg Helmut Schmidt Airport, achieving a high score of 98.8%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north-west, heading 153.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,294 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a precise final approach, taking into account the local weather conditions.
The temperature at the time of landing was 0°C, with a wind speed of 7 knots blowing from 120°. This resulted in a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 6 knots, which the pilot effectively managed during the landing. The threshold speed was maintained at 135 knots, indicating a smooth and controlled approach.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 149 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a speed of 126 knots. This was a good touchdown speed, and the aircraft's descent rate was excellent at -65 feet per minute (fpm). The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's skill and precision.
The total landing distance was 1,480 meters, which is 46% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the pilot had a good understanding of the aircraft's performance and the runway conditions. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, showing that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was executed flawlessly, with the pilot demonstrating excellent skills and judgment. The high score of 98.8% reflects the precision and control exhibited during the landing, making it a successful and safe operation.
