Work on the flare
Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without it.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,677 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,677 m of the 3,006 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 785 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 area to the runway, which took approximately 5 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, an Embraer E195, then departed from runway 31L at Budapest Liszt Ferenc International Airport (LHBP). The takeoff distance was 731 meters, which accounted for 24% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 138 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 4°C and a wind speed of 5 knots at a direction of 319°. The crosswind component was 1 knot, while the headwind component was 5 knots. After departing from the airport, the enroute climb began approximately 1 mile west of LHBP, where the aircraft climbed from an altitude of 1,043 feet above sea level to 2,493 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,450 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles.
The enroute descent started overhead Ecser, a location in Pest megye, Hungary, where the aircraft descended from 2,499 feet above sea level to 1,329 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,170 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 31L at LHBP was made from the south-east, heading 300.0° at an altitude of 871 feet above ground level and a distance of 3 nautical miles from the runway.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on runway 31L, which had a length of 3,006 meters. The threshold height was above the target, while the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 123 knots. The touchdown point was 361 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 113 knots, which was considered good. The touchdown rate was fair at -203 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 3°C and a wind speed of 4 knots at a direction of 311°, with a crosswind component of 0 knots and a headwind component of 4 knots. The total landing distance was 1,587 meters, which accounted for 53% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The total flight distance was 12 nautical miles, taking approximately 11 minutes, and the aircraft used 363 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The aircraft in question, an E195, successfully landed at LHBP Budapest Liszt Ferenc International Airport on runway 31L. The final approach was initiated from the south east, heading 300.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 871 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's performance during the landing was satisfactory, with a touchdown speed of 113 knots, which was within the acceptable range.
However, there were a few areas where the landing could be improved. The threshold height at 67 feet agl was above the target, indicating that the aircraft may have been slightly high on its approach. Additionally, the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 123 knots, suggesting that the aircraft may have been slightly slow on its approach. Despite these minor issues, the touchdown point was 361 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is not ideal but still within acceptable limits.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 3°C and a wind speed of 4 knots from 311°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind component and a headwind of 4 knots, which may have contributed to the slightly slow approach speed. The total landing distance was 1,587 meters, which is 53% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was able to stop quickly after touchdown.
The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain its alignment with the runway after touchdown. Overall, the landing was satisfactory, with some minor areas for improvement. The aircraft's performance during the landing was good, and the pilot was able to bring the aircraft to a safe stop within a reasonable distance.
