Flight Score
Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.
What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 7.1 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.

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.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,790 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 394 m touchdown sits inside 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 5 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, an Airbus A321, then departed from runway 21 at ESGG Göteborg Landvetter Airport in Sweden. The takeoff distance was 1,368 meters, which is 42% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 158 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 17 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 9 knots from a direction of 149 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 7 knots and a headwind of 5 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile southwest of the airport and reaching a maximum altitude of 35,149 feet above sea level. The climb took 18 minutes and covered a distance of 96 nautical miles, with an increase in altitude of 33,712 feet.
After reaching the cruising altitude, the aircraft began its enroute descent, starting 8 miles east of Ebeltoft in Denmark. The descent took 18 minutes and covered a distance of 124 nautical miles, with a decrease in altitude of 25,392 feet. The aircraft then leveled off for a short period of 2 minutes, covering a distance of 8 nautical miles, before beginning another descent. This time, the descent started overhead Ascheberg in Germany and ended at an altitude of 1,331 feet above sea level, with a decrease in altitude of 8,135 feet in 7 minutes and a distance of 22 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 23 at EDDH Hamburg Helmut Schmidt Airport was made from the north-east, with a heading of 230.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,281 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. However, the aircraft was forced to execute a go-around at an altitude of 11 feet above ground level due to unknown reasons.
The aircraft then made a successful landing on runway 23, with a touchdown speed of 130 knots and a touchdown distance of 393 meters. The touchdown rate was hard at -429 feet per minute, but the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 17 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 13 knots from a direction of 260 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 6 knots and a headwind of 11 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,353 meters, which is 48% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, and the aircraft was able to taxi to the parking area in 4 minutes, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 266 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 68 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 3,348 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A321 successfully landed at EDDH Hamburg Helmut Schmidt Airport, achieving a score of 95.3%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north east, heading 230.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,281 feet above ground level (agl). The landing was executed on runway 23, which has a length of 2,790 meters.
The threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct height as it approached the runway threshold. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed, reaching 143 kt. This suggests that the pilot may have applied a bit more power than necessary during the final approach.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's touchdown distance was good, measuring 393 meters. However, the touchdown speed was a little fast at 130 kt, which may have contributed to a harder touchdown rate. The touchdown rate was indeed hard, measuring -429 feet per minute (fpm). Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was well-aligned with the runway.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 17°C, with a wind speed of 13 kt from 260°. This resulted in a crosswind of 6 kt and a headwind of 11 kt. The total landing distance was 1,353 meters, which is 48% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the pilot executed the landing smoothly.
Finally, the runway rollout alignment was perfect, suggesting that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score of 95.3%.
