Flight Score
Arrival
Track the centreline through touchdown using small rudder corrections against a point at the far end of the runway.
What happened: The aircraft touched down off the centreline at 34 ft, and drifting off centreline at touchdown usually carries through into the rollout, as it did here with alignment reaching 28 ft.
Watch for: Watch runway centreline position, keeping deviation inside the limit through touchdown and rollout.
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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,678 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,678 ft of the 10,971 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,858 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Hamburg Helmut Schmidt Airport, the Airbus A320 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took approximately 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. As it reached the runway threshold, the aircraft started its departure roll on runway 33, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 167 knots. The takeoff distance of 5,757 feet was achieved at 55% of the runway length, with a local temperature of 91°F and a gentle headwind of 3 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of Hamburg, it began its enroute climb, reaching an altitude of 36,691 feet in 21 minutes, covering a distance of 142 nautical miles. The climb phase was characterized by a steady increase in altitude, with the aircraft reaching its cruising altitude of 36,691 feet. The enroute level cruise phase that followed lasted for 138 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 1,037 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, reducing its altitude from 37,013 feet to 4,572 feet in 13 minutes, covering a distance of 85 nautical miles. The descent phase was followed by a brief enroute level cruise, lasting only 3 minutes, before the aircraft began its final descent into Chania International Airport.
As the aircraft approached the airport, it began its final descent, reducing its altitude from 4,118 feet to 1,714 feet in 4 minutes, covering a distance of 15 nautical miles. The aircraft then lined up for a landing on runway 29, with a threshold speed of 139 knots, slightly above the target speed. The touchdown point was 480 feet beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 133 knots and a touchdown rate of -211 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 28 feet from the centreline, and the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area, a process that took approximately 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,300 nautical miles, taking 190 minutes, and the aircraft used 15,992 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The aircraft touched down on runway 29 at LGSA Chania International Airport, a 10,971-foot-long runway, after a final approach from the east at 290.0°. The approach quality was good, with a threshold height that met expectations. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 139 knots, indicating a slight deviation from the optimal landing speed.
The touchdown point was located 480 feet beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed of 133 knots was a little fast. The touchdown rate of -211 feet per minute was fair, but not ideal. Upon touchdown, the aircraft's runway touchdown position was misaligned by 28 feet from the centreline, which was also reflected in the runway rollout alignment. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 80°F and a light headwind of 2 knots at 340°, did not significantly impact the landing.
The total landing distance of 5,400 feet was 49% of the runway length, which is within acceptable limits. Overall, the landing performance was satisfactory, with a score of 94.5%. While there were some minor deviations from the optimal landing parameters, the aircraft's touchdown and rollout characteristics were generally good, considering the prevailing weather conditions.
