Flight Score
Departure
Use coordinated aileron input to level the wings and hold bank angle close to wings-level during the climb.
What happened: During the initial climb, your average bank angle drifted to 2.9°.
Watch for: Attitude indicator, bank angle near wings-level
Ground control varies with speed, full authority at walking pace, progressively reducing as groundspeed rises. The aircraft becomes twitchy at any speed, every small pedal input swings the nose, which can encourage large-amplitude leg inputs that no real aircraft would accept.

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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,790 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 409 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Airbus A321 taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, taking approximately 8 minutes and covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft then departed from runway 24, with a takeoff distance of 1,621 meters, which was 51% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 162 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it encountered local weather conditions of 6°C temperature and a wind speed of 25 knots at 289 degrees. The crosswind was 20 knots, while the headwind was 15 knots. The enroute climb started approximately 1 mile northwest of Aalsmeerderbrug, in the province of Noord-Holland, Netherlands. The aircraft climbed from an initial altitude of 1,086 feet above sea level to 32,130 feet, an increase of 31,044 feet, in 16 minutes and covering a distance of 79 nautical miles.
After reaching the desired altitude, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, starting overhead Loon in the province of Drenthe, Netherlands. This phase lasted for 5 minutes and covered a distance of 42 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting 2 miles northwest of Apen in Lower Saxony, Germany. The descent from 31,424 feet to 3,764 feet, a decrease of 27,660 feet, took 12 minutes and covered a distance of 73 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, starting overhead Grevenkop in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany. This phase lasted for 3 minutes and covered a distance of 17 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent again, starting overhead Hartenholm, Germany. The descent from 3,662 feet to 2,806 feet, a decrease of 856 feet, took 2 minutes and covered a distance of 7 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, starting overhead Leezen, Germany. This phase lasted for 3 minutes and covered a distance of 9 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent once more, starting 1 mile southwest of Jersbek, Germany. The descent from 2,617 feet to 1,339 feet, a decrease of 1,279 feet, took 2 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 23 at Hamburg Helmut Schmidt Airport was made from the northeast, heading 230.0 degrees, at an altitude of 1,287 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was made on runway 23, which had a length of 2,790 meters. The threshold height was good, but the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 138 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 411 meters, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 132 knots. The touchdown rate was fair at -216 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 10.1 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 0°C temperature and a wind speed of 12 knots at 220 degrees. The crosswind was 2 knots, while the headwind was 12 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,323 meters, which was 47% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 10.1 meters from the centerline. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking approximately 7 minutes and covering a distance of 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 240 nautical miles, taking a total of 60 minutes, and the aircraft used 2,786 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A321 successfully landed at EDDH Hamburg Helmut Schmidt Airport, achieving a score of 95.9%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north east, heading 230.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,287 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was made to runway 23, which has a length of 2,790 meters.
The landing was executed with a good threshold height, but the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 138 knots. This may indicate that the pilot may have been slightly aggressive in their approach. The touchdown distance was good at 411 meters, but the touchdown speed of 132 knots was a little fast. This could have resulted in a slightly higher touchdown rate of -216 feet per minute (fpm), which is considered fair.
The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 10.1 meters from the centreline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the pilot's alignment during the approach. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 0°C, with a wind speed of 12 knots at 220°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, while the headwind component was 12 knots, which would have assisted the aircraft during the landing.
The total landing distance was 1,323 meters, which is 47% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the pilot executed the landing smoothly. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 10.1 meters from the centreline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the pilot's alignment during the rollout.
Overall, the landing was executed with a high degree of precision, but there were some minor deviations in terms of speed and alignment. The pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's speed and alignment during the approach and rollout was good, but there is room for improvement in terms of achieving the target threshold speed and maintaining perfect alignment with the runway centreline.
