Speed on the fast side
Next time
Rotate the moment the speed tape reaches 128 kt, not after it.
What happened: Rotation was held until 138 kt, 10 kt past the 128 kt rotation target. Carrying that much extra speed into rotation usually adds unwanted energy right at liftoff.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator against the 128 kt rotation target.
Speed at this height is usually bought with gradient. It's rarely dangerous and it's often just an early acceleration, but with flaps still out you may be heading towards the flap limit and a flat fast climb puts you at the acceleration altitude with the cleaning-up still to do.

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 3,092 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 346 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Airbus A319 departed EDDH Hamburg Helmut Schmidt Airport on runway 23, using a take-off distance of 698 m (23 % of the runway) and achieving a liftoff speed of 139 kt. Local conditions were a temperature of 24 °C with wind 22 kt from 270°, providing a cross-wind component of 14 kt and a head-wind component of 17 kt.
Climb commenced approximately 1 nm north-west of Winterhude, where the aircraft rose from 1,007 ft asl to 3,063 ft asl, a gain of 2,056 ft in 1 minute while covering 5 nm.
Cruise began overhead Neustadt and continued for 2 minutes, during which the aircraft travelled 7 nm at level flight.
Descent was initiated 2 nm south of Bergstedt, with the aircraft descending from 3,002 ft asl to 1,323 ft asl, a loss of 1,679 ft over 4 minutes and a distance of 10 nm.
The final approach to runway 23 at EDDH was flown from the north-east, on a heading of 230.0° at 4 nm and 1,278 ft agl.
Landing on runway 23 was executed with a runway length of 3,092 m; the threshold speed was slightly above target at 121 kt. Touchdown occurred 347 m down the runway at 111 kt, with a firm touchdown rate of minus 309 fpm and perfect alignment. Weather at the time was 22 °C, wind 19 kt from 270°, cross-wind 12 kt and head-wind 15 kt. The total landing distance recorded was 1,012 m (33 % of the runway) and rollout alignment was very good.
During rollout the aircraft maintained the established alignment and decelerated safely to a stop on the runway.
In total the flight covered 27 nm, required 11 minutes, and consumed 168 kg of fuel.
The Airbus A319 approached runway 23 at EDDH Hamburg Helmut Schmidt Airport from the north-east on a heading of 230.0° at 4 NM and 1,278 ft agl, with local temperature 22 °C, wind 19 kt from 270°, providing a 15 kt headwind and 12 kt crosswind component.
The aircraft established a good threshold height and the threshold speed was slightly above target at 121 kt.
Touchdown occurred 347 m down the runway, a distance described as good, with a touchdown speed of 111 kt noted as a little fast and a firm touchdown rate of minus 309 fpm; runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The total landing distance was 1,012 m, representing 33 % of the 3,092 m runway, and rollout alignment was very good.
To bring the landing closer to the target, reduce the final-approach speed slightly to meet the intended threshold speed and refine flare technique to achieve a softer touchdown rate and lower speed at the ground. The 99.0 % score indicates the overall performance was excellent, requiring only these minor refinements.
