Maintain the centreline
A small uncorrected heading error at 40 knots becomes a metre of offset per second by 100 knots, noticed only at rotation, producing a crabbed liftoff. Root cause is nearly always eyes on the tape instead of the far end of the runway. Small heading changes displace a distant point visibly long before the nearby centreline stripes look wrong.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
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 1,524 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 487 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 6 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The Airbus A321 then departed from runway 23 at EDHI Hamburg-Finkenwerder Airport, with a takeoff distance of 1,678 meters, which was 90% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 166 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were a temperature of 19°C, with a wind speed of 23 knots at 209 degrees.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile southwest of EDHI Hamburg-Finkenwerder Airport. The climb took 2 minutes, during which the aircraft ascended from 1,028 feet above sea level to 5,869 feet, an increase of 4,841 feet. This climb covered a distance of 6 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise then began 1 mile north of Appel, lasting 3 minutes and covering 16 nautical miles.
The enroute descent started 2 miles southwest of Bergedorf, where the aircraft descended from 5,907 feet to 2,959 feet, a decrease of 2,947 feet, in 5 minutes and covering 12 nautical miles. Another enroute level cruise then began 1 mile east of Fuhlsbuettel, lasting 5 minutes and covering 1 nautical mile. The final enroute descent started 2 miles east of Fuhlsbuettel, where the aircraft descended from 2,957 feet to 1,303 feet, a decrease of 1,654 feet, in 3 minutes and covering 6 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 23 at EDHI Hamburg-Finkenwerder Airport was made from the northeast, with a heading of 232.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,279 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 23, which had a length of 1,859 meters. The threshold height was good, but the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 150 knots.
The touchdown point was 69 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 137 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was firm at -356 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.5 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 17°C, with a wind speed of 14 knots at 210 degrees.
The total landing distance was 1,037 meters, which was 56% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 49 nautical miles, and the flight took 33 minutes, using 1,517 kilograms of fuel.
The Airbus A321 aircraft successfully landed at EDHI Hamburg-Finkenwerder Airport, achieving a score of 96.7%. The final approach to runway 23 was initiated from the north east, with a heading of 232.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,279 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach was characterized by a good threshold height, indicating a stable and controlled descent.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 150 knots, which may have contributed to a slightly faster touchdown speed of 137 knots. The touchdown rate was firm, at -356 feet per minute (fpm), suggesting a controlled and stable landing. However, the touchdown point was 69 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which may indicate a slight deviation from the intended landing path.
The runway touchdown position was also slightly misaligned, being 4.5 meters off-centerline. This may have been due to a combination of factors, including wind and pilot error. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 17°C, with a wind speed of 14 knots at 210°. The crosswind component was relatively low, at 5 knots, while the headwind component was 13 knots, which may have contributed to the slight misalignment.
Despite the minor deviations, the aircraft's runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating a high degree of control and stability during the landing phase. The total landing distance was 1,037 meters, which is 56% of the runway length. Overall, the landing was successful, and the aircraft's performance was satisfactory, with a score of 96.7%.
