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.

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 1,660 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,660 m of the 3,006 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 608 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft taxiing from the parking to the runway at Munich Airport, taking 10 minutes and covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 26L, with a takeoff distance of 1,350 meters, which is 34% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 149 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it encountered local weather conditions of 18°C temperature and a wind speed of 17 knots at 350 degrees. The crosswind was 17 knots, while the headwind was a mere 1 knot. The enroute climb started overhead Hallbergmoos in Bavaria, Germany, where the aircraft climbed from 2,510 feet above sea level to 32,072 feet above sea level, an increase of 29,563 feet in 21 minutes, covering a distance of 130 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 2 miles west of Hofamt Priel in Niederoesterreich, Austria, and lasted for 9 minutes, covering a distance of 75 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its enroute descent 1 mile northeast of Engelhartstetten, Niederoesterreich, Austria, descending from 32,014 feet above sea level to 7,976 feet above sea level, a decrease of 24,038 feet in 13 minutes, covering a distance of 64 nautical miles.
The aircraft then climbed again, this time from 8,285 feet above sea level to 10,027 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,742 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles, starting 2 miles northwest of Sutto in Komarom-Esztergom, Hungary. The enroute descent began 2 miles north of Nyergesujfalu, Komarom-Esztergom, Hungary, where the aircraft descended from 9,597 feet above sea level to 2,149 feet above sea level, a decrease of 7,448 feet in 7 minutes, covering a distance of 29 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 31L at Budapest Liszt Ferenc International Airport took place from the southeast, heading 313.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,252 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 31L, which has a length of 3,006 meters, was successful, with the threshold height being well above the target and the threshold speed also being well above the target at 148 knots.
The touchdown point was 191 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 140 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was firm at -329 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 14°C temperature and a wind speed of 17 knots at 300 degrees, with a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 17 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,578 meters, which is 53% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good, and the aircraft then taxied to the parking from the runway, taking 10 minutes and covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The total flight distance was 325 nautical miles, taking 76 minutes, and the aircraft used 3,666 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A321 aircraft successfully landed at LHBP Budapest Liszt Ferenc International Airport, achieving an overall score of 88.6%. The final approach to runway 31L was initiated from the south east, with a heading of 313.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,252 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down 191 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The touchdown speed of 140 knots was slightly above the target, indicating that the pilot may have been able to reduce the speed further during the approach. The touchdown rate of -329 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, suggesting a controlled descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 14°C and a wind speed of 17 knots from a direction of 300°. This resulted in a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 17 knots, which the pilot effectively managed during the approach and landing.
The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot maintained a stable and controlled approach. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, suggesting that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the post-landing phase.
The total landing distance of 1,578 meters was 53% of the available runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated good control and management of the aircraft during the approach and landing phases.
