Improve the takeoff
The rudder input is a changing profile through the roll rather than one that is held. So the demand on your right foot starts large at power application, eases as speed builds and the rudder gains authority, then jumps again at rotation.

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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,859 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 338 m touchdown sits inside 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 12 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Learjet 35A, then departed from runway 25C at Frankfurt Airport (EDDF). The takeoff distance was 829 meters, which accounted for 21% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 138 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it encountered local weather conditions of 11°C temperature and a wind speed of 6 knots at 230°. The crosswind was 2 knots, while the headwind was 5 knots. The enroute climb started 1 mile south of Kelsterbach, Hessen, Germany, and the aircraft climbed from 1,347 feet above sea level to 30,538 feet above sea level, an increase of 29,191 feet in 9 minutes, covering a distance of 36 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began its descent from 30,359 feet above sea level to 29,741 feet above sea level, a decrease of 618 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 8 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise started 1 mile south of Marburg an der Lahn, Hessen, Germany, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 8 nautical miles. The aircraft then climbed from 29,709 feet above sea level to 30,217 feet above sea level, an increase of 509 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 9 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 2 miles west of Frankenau, Hessen, Germany, and lasted for 17 minutes, covering a distance of 91 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent from 30,894 feet above sea level to 4,448 feet above sea level, a decrease of 26,446 feet in 12 minutes, covering a distance of 70 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise started 1 mile west of Siek, Schleswig-Holstein, Germany, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began its descent from 4,380 feet above sea level to 1,126 feet above sea level, a decrease of 3,255 feet in 4 minutes, covering a distance of 11 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 23 at Hamburg-Finkenwerder Airport (EDHI) was made from the north-east, heading 231.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,105 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 23 at EDHI was successful, with a touchdown distance of 338 meters and a touchdown speed of 106 knots. The touchdown rate was -188 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.6 meters from the centreline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 12°C temperature and a wind speed of 14 knots at 260°. The crosswind was 7 knots, while the headwind was 13 knots.
The total landing distance was 799 meters, which accounted for 43% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 246 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 60 minutes. The aircraft used 640 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Learjet 35A successfully landed at EDHI Hamburg-Finkenwerder Airport, demonstrating a high level of proficiency in its approach and landing procedures. The aircraft began its final approach to runway 23 from the north east, heading 231.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,105 feet above ground level (agl). This positioning allowed the pilots to maintain a safe and controlled descent onto the runway.
The aircraft's approach speed and threshold height were both within acceptable limits, with a threshold speed of 121 knots and a good threshold height. This ensured a smooth and stable touchdown, which was achieved at a speed of 106 knots. The touchdown distance of 338 meters was also within the expected range, indicating that the pilots had effectively managed the aircraft's descent and speed.
However, there was a slight deviation from the centerline, with the runway touchdown position being 4.6 meters off-center. This minor misalignment may have been due to factors such as wind or pilot error, but it did not appear to have any significant impact on the overall landing performance.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 12°C and a wind speed of 14 knots from 260°. This resulted in a crosswind of 7 knots and a headwind of 13 knots, which the pilots effectively managed during the approach and landing. The total landing distance of 799 meters was 43% of the runway length, indicating that the pilots had maintained a safe and controlled descent.
The runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilots had effectively managed the aircraft's speed and direction during the rollout phase. Overall, the Learjet 35A's landing at EDHI Hamburg-Finkenwerder Airport was a successful and well-executed procedure, with the pilots demonstrating a high level of skill and proficiency in their approach and landing techniques.
