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.

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 2,272 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,272 m of the 3,006 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 827 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 area to the runway, a process that took 7 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft was departing from runway 13L at Budapest Liszt Ferenc International Airport (LHBP). The takeoff distance was 916 meters, which is 25% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 136 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of 18°C, with a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 260°. The crosswind component was 3 knots, and the tailwind component was 2 knots.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb 1 mile northeast of Vecses, a town in Pest megye, Hungary. The climb started from an altitude of 1,460 feet above sea level and reached a height of 2,629 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,169 feet in just 2 minutes. During this climb, the aircraft covered a distance of 3 nautical miles.
After completing the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 1 mile southwest of Pecel, another town in Pest megye, Hungary. This phase of the flight lasted for 4 minutes and covered a distance of 6 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached the end of its flight, it began its final approach to runway 13R at LHBP Budapest Liszt Ferenc International Airport. The approach was made from the northwest, heading 139.0°, and the aircraft was at an altitude of 706 feet above ground level (agl) when it was 2 nautical miles from the runway. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 16°C, with a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 260°. The crosswind component was 3 knots, and the tailwind component was 2 knots.
The landing was made on runway 13R, which has a length of 3,006 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed at 138 knots. The touchdown point was 413 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 123 knots, which was good. The touchdown rate was firm at -342 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned from the centerline by 17.5 meters.
The total landing distance was 2,193 meters, which is 73% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also misaligned from the centerline by 17.4 meters. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 15 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 13 minutes. The aircraft used 412 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The aircraft in question, an E195, successfully landed at LHBP Budapest Liszt Ferenc International Airport on runway 13R. The final approach was initiated from the north-west, heading 139.0° at an altitude of 706 feet above ground level (agl) and 2 nautical miles from the runway. The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, which is a crucial aspect of a safe landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was slightly above the target threshold speed of 136 kt, registering at 138 kt. However, the touchdown speed of 123 kt was within the acceptable range, indicating a controlled descent. The touchdown rate of -342 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, suggesting a smooth landing.
Despite the good touchdown speed and rate, the landing was not without its issues. The touchdown point was 413 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which may indicate a slight over-shooting. Furthermore, the runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned by 17.5 meters from the centerline, which could pose a challenge for the pilots to maintain control during the rollout phase.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 16°C and a wind speed of 4 kt from 260°. The crosswind component was minimal at 3 kt, while the tailwind component was 2 kt. These conditions were favorable for landing, but the misalignment of the touchdown point and the runway touchdown position may have been influenced by factors such as wind shear or pilot error.
The total landing distance of 2,193 meters was 73% of the runway length, which is within the acceptable range. However, the runway rollout alignment was also misaligned by 17.4 meters from the centerline, which may indicate a loss of control during the rollout phase. Overall, while the landing was not perfect, the aircraft and its pilots demonstrated a good level of proficiency in executing a safe and controlled landing.
