The flight began with a departure roll from runway 05 at Hamburg Helmut Schmidt Airport (EDDH). The Airbus A321 took off after a takeoff distance of 1,797 meters, which was 64% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 160 knots. At the time of departure, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of -2 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 15 knots from a direction of 90 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 9 knots and a headwind of 11 knots.

As the aircraft climbed, it started its enroute climb overhead Fuhlsbuettel, a location within the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg, Germany. The climb began at an altitude of 1,099 feet above sea level and reached a height of 3,005 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,906 feet in just 1 minute. During this time, the aircraft covered a distance of 4 nautical miles.

Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started overhead Lemsahl-Mellingstedt, another location within the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg, Germany. This phase lasted for 7 minutes and covered a distance of 16 nautical miles.

As the aircraft began its descent, it started overhead Wedel, a location in the state of Schleswig-Holstein, Germany. The descent began at an altitude of 3,006 feet above sea level and ended at an altitude of 1,473 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,533 feet in 4 minutes. During this time, the aircraft covered a distance of 7 nautical miles.

The final approach to runway 05 at EDDH Hamburg Helmut Schmidt Airport was made from the southwest, heading 50.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,421 feet above ground level.

The aircraft landed safely on runway 05 at EDDH Hamburg Helmut Schmidt Airport, which had a length of 2,790 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 127 knots. The touchdown distance was 436 meters, which was considered good. However, the touchdown speed of 123 knots was a little fast, and the touchdown rate was firm at -318 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good.

The total flight distance was 32 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 14 minutes. The aircraft used 613 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

Landing on runway 05 at EDDH Hamburg Helmut Schmidt Airport in the Airbus A321

Landing Score 97.09 %

Landing Summary

The Airbus A321 successfully landed at EDDH Hamburg Helmut Schmidt Airport, achieving a high score of 97.1%. The aircraft approached the runway from the southwest, heading 50.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,421 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot's final approach to runway 05 was executed with precision, taking into account the local weather conditions.

The temperature at the time of landing was -2 °C, and the wind was blowing at 15 knots from a direction of 90°. This resulted in a crosswind of 9 knots and a headwind of 11 knots, which the pilot effectively managed during the landing. The runway length at EDDH Hamburg Helmut Schmidt Airport is 2,790 meters, providing a safe margin for the aircraft's touchdown.

The pilot's threshold height was good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct altitude as it approached the runway threshold. The threshold speed of 127 knots was also within the acceptable range, demonstrating the pilot's control over the aircraft's speed during the final approach. The touchdown distance of 436 meters was also good, indicating that the pilot had maintained a stable and controlled descent.

However, the touchdown speed of 123 knots was slightly faster than the recommended speed, which may have resulted in a firmer touchdown rate. The touchdown rate of -318 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, but still within the acceptable range. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot had maintained a stable and aligned approach to the runway.

Overall, the landing was executed with precision and control, and the pilot's skills and experience were evident throughout the approach and touchdown. The high score of 97.1% reflects the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft safely and efficiently in a variety of weather conditions.
