Flight Score
Departure
Rotate sooner, bringing the nose up at 152 kt rather than letting speed build further.
What happened: You lifted off at 178 kt against a rotation target of 152 kt, rotating late in the ground roll.
Watch for: Watch airspeed and rotate at the target of 152 kt.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Fly the flare as one continuous check of the sink rate from 25 ft, holding back pressure steadily rather than adjusting pitch piecemeal.
What happened: The flare drifted away from its intended profile rather than tracking it smoothly from 25 ft down to touchdown.
Watch for: Watch radio altitude and VSI through the flare, aiming to arrest the sink smoothly from 25 ft to touchdown.
See Arrival Landing
Twenty knots on a monitor produces the visual sensation of about ten. The advice to "taxi at a walking pace" cannot fix this, because your sense of walking pace is exactly the thing that's broken. Put the groundspeed readout in your scan and obey it for the next fifty flights, the way a student pilot leans on the airspeed indicator before learning to read attitude.

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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,730 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,730 m of the 2,790 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 597 m past the threshold — beyond 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 22 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. The aircraft, an Airbus A320, then departed from runway 22R at EKCH Copenhagen Kastrup Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,466 meters, which accounted for 49% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 178 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 12°C and wind blowing at 12 knots from a direction of 229°. The crosswind was minimal at 2 knots, while the headwind was 12 knots. The enroute climb began 2 miles south of Tarnby, Denmark, and the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 1,079 feet above sea level to 23,656 feet above sea level, an increase of 22,577 feet, in just 13 minutes and covering a distance of 75 nautical miles.
The enroute descent started 6 miles south of Rodbyhavn, Denmark, and the aircraft descended from 23,656 feet above sea level to 1,347 feet above sea level, a decrease of 22,309 feet, in 20 minutes and covering a distance of 68 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 23 at EDDH Hamburg Helmut Schmidt Airport was made from the north-east, heading 230.0°, at an altitude of 1,293 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway.
The landing on runway 23 was successful, with a touchdown point 179 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was a little fast at 130 knots, but the touchdown rate was good at -193 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the runway rollout alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 5°C and wind blowing at 5 knots from a direction of 80°, with a crosswind of 3 knots and a tailwind of 5 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,647 meters, which accounted for 59% of the runway. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took just 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 154 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 46 minutes. The aircraft used 2,067 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at EDDH Hamburg Helmut Schmidt Airport, achieving a high score of 98.3%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north east, heading 230.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,293 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with precision, and the aircraft landed safely on runway 23, which has a length of 2,790 meters.
The threshold height was good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct altitude as it approached the runway. The threshold speed of 137 knots was also within the acceptable range, demonstrating the pilot's skill in managing the aircraft's speed during the landing phase. However, the touchdown speed of 130 knots was slightly faster than desired, which may have been due to the pilot's decision to touch down slightly beyond the touchdown zone.
The touchdown point was 179 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The touchdown rate of -193 feet per minute (fpm) was good, indicating that the aircraft was able to absorb the impact of landing smoothly. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, demonstrating the pilot's ability to align the aircraft with the runway centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 5°C and a wind speed of 5 knots from 80°. The crosswind component was 3 knots, while the tailwind component was 5 knots. Despite these conditions, the pilot was able to execute a safe and controlled landing.
The total landing distance of 1,647 meters was 59% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase and bring it to a stop safely. Overall, the landing was executed with precision and skill, and the pilot's performance was commendable.
