Maintain the centreline
A small uncorrected heading error at 40 knots becomes a metre of offset per second by 100 knots, noticed only at rotation, producing a crabbed liftoff. Root cause is nearly always eyes on the tape instead of the far end of the runway. Small heading changes displace a distant point visibly long before the nearby centreline stripes look wrong.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with five checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,044 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 518 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Budapest Liszt Ferenc International Airport (LHBP) took 14 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The Boeing 737-MAX8 then departed from runway 31L, utilizing 1,256 meters, or 42% of the runway's length, to achieve liftoff at a speed of 151 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 22°C, with a wind speed of 13 knots from a direction of 330°, resulting in a 4-knot crosswind and a 13-knot headwind.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb 2 miles east of Kispest, Budapest, Hungary, at an altitude of 1,384 feet above sea level. The climb phase saw the aircraft ascend to 3,034 feet, an increase of 1,650 feet in just 1 minute, while covering a distance of 3 nautical miles. The enroute descent phase commenced overhead Kobanya, Budapest, Hungary, with the aircraft descending from 2,786 feet to 2,079 feet in 2 minutes, covering 5 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase 1 mile east of LHHH Hármashatárhegy Glider Field, Budapest, lasting 2 minutes and covering 4 nautical miles. The final descent phase began 1 mile south of Urom, Pest megye, Hungary, with the aircraft descending from 2,065 feet to 1,407 feet in 2 minutes, covering 7 nautical miles.
The Boeing 737-MAX8 then commenced its final approach to runway 13R at LHBP, flying from the northwest at a heading of 133.0° and an altitude of 950 feet above ground level. The aircraft landed on the runway, utilizing 1,597 meters, or 53% of the runway's length, and touched down at a speed of 124 knots. The touchdown point was 181 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown rate was smooth at -146 feet per minute. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 8.0 meters from the centerline. The total flight distance was 59 nautical miles, taking 18 minutes, and the aircraft consumed 5,971 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-MAX8 touched down on runway 13R at LHBP Budapest Liszt Ferenc International Airport with a smooth touchdown rate of -146 fpm, indicating a well-executed approach. The aircraft's speed at touchdown was 124 kt, which was within the acceptable range. The threshold speed was slightly below the target at 132 kt, but this did not significantly impact the overall performance. The approach quality was good, with a threshold height that was well within the acceptable limits.
The touchdown point was 181 m beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively short distance. This suggests that the aircraft was well-aligned with the runway centerline during the approach and touchdown phases. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, with the aircraft maintaining its centerline alignment throughout the touchdown process. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 20 °C and a crosswind of 2 kt, did not pose any significant challenges to the landing.
The total landing distance was 1,597 m, which is 53% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was well-controlled throughout the rollout phase. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 8.0 m from the centerline, which is a minor deviation. Overall, the landing performance was good, with a score of 96.4%.
