Flight Score
Departure
Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.
What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 2.1°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
Ground effect becomes significant below about one wingspan of height. A Cessna 172, with a 36 ft span, enters ground effect at flare height - the float it feels in the hold-off is ground effect arriving on cue. An A320, with a span around 117 ft, has been in ground effect since before the threshold and there is no sudden cushion to feel, only a gradual reduction in induced drag that lengthens any float you allow.

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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,701 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 393 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Vienna International Airport (LOWW), the aircraft began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took approximately 9 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. With the runway 11 clear, the aircraft initiated its departure roll, utilizing 702 meters, or 20% of the runway, to achieve liftoff at a speed of 84 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 16°C, with a gentle tailwind of 11 knots.
As the aircraft climbed away from LOWW, it transitioned into an enroute climb, ascending from 1,656 feet above sea level to 9,009 feet in just 4 minutes, covering a distance of 10 nautical miles. The climb phase was followed by a level cruise, which lasted for 18 minutes and spanned 77 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, initially from 8,369 feet to 5,002 feet in 5 minutes, covering 21 nautical miles. A brief level cruise phase ensued, lasting 3 minutes and covering 10 nautical miles, before the aircraft continued its descent, this time from 4,993 feet to 1,824 feet in 5 minutes, covering 11 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached Budapest Liszt Ferenc International Airport (LHBP), it initiated its final approach to runway 31R from the south-east, aligning itself with the runway at 4 nautical miles and 1,368 feet above ground level. The landing was executed with a threshold speed slightly below target at 76 knots, and the aircraft touched down at a speed of 65 knots, with a touchdown distance of 391 meters. The total landing distance was 800 meters, or 22% of the runway, and the runway rollout alignment was very good. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took 10 minutes and covered 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 138 nautical miles, with a flight time of 53 minutes and a fuel consumption of 191 kilograms.
The final approach to runway 31R at LHBP Budapest Liszt Ferenc International Airport from the south east was executed with precision, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 313.0° at 4 nm and 1,368 ft above ground level. The approach quality was excellent, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed that was slightly below the target at 76 kt. The aircraft touched down smoothly at a speed of 65 kt, with a touchdown distance of 391 m, which was well within the acceptable range.
The touchdown characteristics were good, with a touchdown rate of -89 fpm, indicating a controlled and stable descent. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, with the aircraft centered on the runway. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 12 °C and a wind of 7 kt at 329°, contributed to a relatively calm and stable environment for the landing. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 kt, while the headwind component was 6 kt, providing a favorable wind condition for the landing.
The total landing distance of 800 m, which accounted for 22% of the runway length, was well within the acceptable range. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, with the aircraft maintaining its centerline alignment throughout the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was executed with precision and control, resulting in a score of 97.2%.
