Improve the 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.
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 460 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 7 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 1,578 meters, which accounted for 85% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 163 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time were characterized by a temperature of 18°C, with a wind speed of 24 knots at 219°.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile south west of EDHI Hamburg-Finkenwerder Airport. The climb took 2 minutes, during which the aircraft ascended from 1,046 feet above sea level to 5,892 feet, an increase of 4,846 feet. This climb covered a distance of 7 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise that followed began 1 mile north east of Appel, in the state of Lower Saxony, Germany, and lasted for 3 minutes, covering 15 nautical miles.
The enroute descent started 1 mile south west of Bergedorf, in the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg, Germany. The descent took 3 minutes, during which the aircraft descended from 5,899 feet above sea level to 3,409 feet, a decrease of 2,490 feet. This descent covered a distance of 13 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another enroute level cruise, this time starting 1 mile east of Bergstedt, in the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg, Germany, and lasting for 2 minutes, covering 5 nautical miles.
The final enroute descent began overhead Fuhlsbuettel, in the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg, Germany. The descent took 2 minutes, during which the aircraft descended from 2,852 feet above sea level to 1,299 feet, a decrease of 1,554 feet. This descent covered a distance of 5 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 23 at EDHI Hamburg-Finkenwerder Airport, approaching from the north east and heading 232.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,270 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 23 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 458 meters, which was good. However, the touchdown speed of 139 knots was slightly above the target speed, and the touchdown rate was firm at -372 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned by 15.8 meters from the centreline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15°C, with a wind speed of 24 knots at 220°.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 52 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 26 minutes. The aircraft used 1,026 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A321 aircraft successfully landed at EDHI Hamburg-Finkenwerder Airport, with a score of 91.2%. The final approach to runway 23 was initiated from the north east, heading 232.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,270 feet above ground level.
The aircraft touched down on the runway, with a touchdown speed of 139 kt, which was slightly above the target speed. The touchdown distance was good, measuring 458 meters, and the touchdown rate was firm at -372 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned from the centreline by 15.8 meters.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15°C, with a wind speed of 24 kt blowing from 220°. This resulted in a crosswind of 5 kt and a headwind of 23 kt. The runway length at EDHI Hamburg-Finkenwerder Airport is 1,859 meters, providing a sufficient margin for the aircraft to land safely.
The total landing distance was 1,042 meters, which accounted for 56% of the runway length. Unfortunately, the runway rollout alignment was also misaligned from the centreline by 15.7 meters. Despite these minor deviations, the aircraft was able to land safely, thanks to the skill and experience of the pilots.
