Arrival
Make small rudder corrections against a fixed point at the far end of the runway to stop the drift as soon as it starts in the flare.
What happened: On the landing you drifted 7.7 m off the centreline, and that kind of lateral drift usually carries through to a touchdown point 8.2 m off centreline and into a rollout that is still skewed off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Heading indicator: track straight down the extended runway centreline 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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,742 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
Departing from Hamburg Helmut Schmidt Airport, the Airbus A321 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took approximately 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. With a takeoff distance of 1,558 meters, which accounted for 48% of the runway, the aircraft lifted off from runway 33 at a liftoff speed of 160 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 26°C, with a wind speed of 10 knots from a direction of 340°, resulting in a 1-knot crosswind and a 10-knot headwind.
As the aircraft climbed to its initial cruising altitude, it traversed a distance of 64 nautical miles in 12 minutes, reaching an altitude of 23,789 feet above sea level. The enroute climb phase was punctuated by several level cruise segments, with the longest lasting 23 minutes and covering 187 nautical miles. The aircraft's fuel consumption was moderate, with a total fuel usage of 4,980 kilograms. The flight's overall distance was 594 nautical miles, with a total flight time of 99 minutes.
Upon approaching Budapest Liszt Ferenc International Airport, the aircraft initiated its final descent, touching down on runway 31R with a touchdown distance of 411 meters. The touchdown speed was slightly above the target speed, at 131 knots, while the touchdown rate was within acceptable limits at -157 feet per minute. The aircraft's runway touchdown position was misaligned by 9.7 meters from the centerline, and the runway rollout alignment was similarly misaligned by 9.8 meters. Following a taxiing period of 4 minutes, the aircraft came to a stop in the parking area, marking the end of its journey.
The aircraft touched down on runway 31R at LHBP Budapest Liszt Ferenc International Airport with a threshold height that met expectations. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target, registering 139 kt. The touchdown distance was satisfactory at 411 m, but the touchdown speed of 131 kt was a tad faster than desired. The touchdown rate of -157 fpm was within acceptable limits, indicating a controlled descent.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's runway touchdown position was found to be 9.7 m off-centreline, deviating from the ideal alignment. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 23 °C and a gentle headwind of 4 kt, did not pose any significant challenges to the landing. The total landing distance of 1,447 m, accounting for 39% of the runway length, was within the acceptable range. The aircraft's ability to stop within a reasonable distance was demonstrated, despite the slightly fast touchdown speed.
During the rollout phase, the aircraft's alignment was found to be slightly off-centreline, deviating by 9.8 m from the ideal position. This minor deviation did not significantly impact the overall performance of the landing. Overall, the landing was deemed satisfactory, with a score of 96.2%. While there were some minor deviations from the ideal performance, the aircraft's ability to safely and efficiently land on the runway was demonstrated.
