Flight Score
Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a fixed point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline during the roll.
What happened: The aircraft drifted 13 m off the runway centreline during the ground roll, and wing drift like that usually keeps reappearing as bank in the climb, with 4.6° of bank in the first climb segment and 4.9° still showing in the second.
Watch for: Heading indicator: steady on the runway centreline during the roll, then wings level through the climb.
Arrival
Fly the flare as one continuous check of the sink rate from 34 ft, holding back pressure steadily rather than adjusting pitch piecemeal.
What happened: The flare drifted away from its intended profile rather than tracking it smoothly from 34 ft down to touchdown.
Watch for: Watch radio altitude and VSI through the flare, aiming to arrest the sink smoothly from 34 ft to touchdown.
See Arrival Landing
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.
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 2,111 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,111 m of the 3,701 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 814 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 to the runway, which took 10 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 22R at EKCH Copenhagen Kastrup Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,077 meters, which accounted for 36% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 159 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 4 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 10 knots from a direction of 280 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 8 knots and a headwind of 5 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 2 miles south of Tarnby in Region Hovedstaden, Denmark. The climb took 17 minutes and covered a distance of 106 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 1,035 feet above sea level to 35,122 feet above sea level, an increase of 34,087 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 15 miles northwest of Pobierowo in the West Pomeranian Voivodeship, Poland. This phase lasted for 36 minutes and covered a distance of 308 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting overhead Vojkovice in the Moravskoslezsky kraj, Czech Republic. The descent took 30 minutes and covered a distance of 143 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from an altitude of 35,886 feet above sea level to 1,730 feet above sea level, a decrease of 34,155 feet.
The final approach to runway 31R at LHBP Budapest Liszt Ferenc International Airport was made from the southeast, heading 312.0 degrees at an altitude of 4 nautical miles and 1,275 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 31R, which had a length of 3,701 meters. The threshold height at 79 feet above ground level was well above the target, and the threshold speed was also well above the target at 152 knots.
The touchdown point was 367 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 141 knots, which was fast. However, the touchdown rate was excellent at -72 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 1 degree Celsius and a wind speed of 14 knots from a direction of 280 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 7 knots and a headwind of 11 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,999 meters, which accounted for 54% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 565 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 96 minutes. The aircraft used 3,449 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at LHBP Budapest Liszt Ferenc International Airport, with a score of 85.8%. The final approach was initiated from the south east, heading 312.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,275 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft successfully touched down on runway 31R, which has a length of 3,701 meters.
The threshold height at 79 feet agl was significantly above the target, indicating that the aircraft was higher than expected at the point of touchdown. However, the threshold speed of 152 knots was well above the target, suggesting that the aircraft was traveling at a higher speed than intended at the point of touchdown. The touchdown point was located 367 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which may indicate a slight over-shoot.
The touchdown speed of 141 knots was faster than the target, which could have contributed to the over-shoot. However, the touchdown rate of -72 feet per minute (fpm) was excellent, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, suggesting that the aircraft was aligned with the runway centerline at the point of touchdown.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 1°C and a wind speed of 14 knots from 280°. The crosswind component was 7 knots, while the headwind component was 11 knots. These conditions may have contributed to the over-shoot, as the aircraft may have been affected by the crosswind and headwind.
The total landing distance was 1,999 meters, which is 54% 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, suggesting that the aircraft was aligned with the runway centerline during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, but there were some areas for improvement, including the over-shoot and the fast touchdown speed. However, the excellent touchdown rate and perfect runway touchdown alignment were notable highlights of the landing.
