MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Apply small rudder corrections to track the centreline against a point at the far end of the runway.
What happened: The takeoff roll drifted 40 m off the centreline, and a heading variation of -1.6° usually follows into the initial climb.
Watch for: Heading indicator: wings-level runway heading held through the climb
Arrival
Hold the aim point and wait for the proper flare height before you start rotating; let the runway come up to you rather than anticipating it.
What happened: The flare began early, well above the normal flare band, and touchdown followed at 797 m past the threshold, 340 m beyond the 457 m target. Starting the flare early like this usually carries the touchdown long.
Watch for: Radio altimeter against the normal flare band, then touchdown distance against 457 m.
Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate for a circuit: six checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate is an instrument-approach check and does not apply. These checks are the approach's score.
At the 1,000 ft gate: centreline 26.2° off, against a 1° limit.
At the 500 ft gate: centreline 20.6° off, against a 1° limit and speed 8 kt SLOW on the reference speed of 138 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 2,018 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,018 m of the 3,742 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 797 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Budapest Liszt Ferenc International Airport (LHBP) played host to a successful departure of an Embraer E195 aircraft, which initiated its takeoff roll on runway 13R. The aircraft accelerated to a liftoff speed of 136 kt, achieving lift-off in a distance of 1,519 meters, which represented 51% of the available runway length. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 15 °C and a gentle wind of 2 kt from a direction of 67°, resulting in a negligible crosswind component.
Following a right-hand pattern entry from runway 13R, the aircraft navigated the traffic pattern with precision, completing the downwind turn in a distance of 6 nautical miles at an angle of 45 degrees to the runway. The subsequent base leg turn was executed with equal finesse, with the aircraft aligning itself for a final approach to runway 31R from the south-east. The approach was characterized by a heading of 315.0° and an altitude of 28 feet above ground level (agl) at a distance of 0 nautical miles from the runway threshold. The aircraft touched down on the runway at a speed of 125 kt, with a touchdown rate of -75 fpm, which was deemed excellent. The touchdown point was located 382 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the total landing distance was 1,938 meters, representing 52% of the available runway length.
The aircraft's performance during the landing phase was notable, with a runway touchdown alignment that was very good. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 8.5 meters from the centreline. The total flight distance was 9 nautical miles, and the aircraft utilized 368 kilograms of fuel during the flight, which lasted approximately 6 minutes. Overall, the flight was executed with precision and efficiency, demonstrating the capabilities of the Embraer E195 aircraft in a variety of operational scenarios.
The aircraft touched down on runway 31R at LHBP Budapest Liszt Ferenc International Airport with a good threshold height, allowing for a smooth transition from the approach to the touchdown phase. The threshold speed was also well-managed, with the aircraft touching down at 135 kt, a speed that was within the acceptable range. The touchdown point was 382 meters beyond the touchdown zone, indicating a slight over-run, but the touchdown speed of 125 kt was good, and the touchdown rate of -75 fpm was excellent, demonstrating a high degree of control and precision.
The approach quality was good, with the aircraft maintaining a stable and controlled descent throughout the final approach. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, with the aircraft aligning well with the centerline. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15 °C and a light wind of 2 kt at 67 °, contributed to a smooth and stable approach. The total landing distance of 1,938 meters, which accounted for 52% of the runway length, was within the acceptable range.
The rollout phase was slightly marred by a misalignment of 8.5 meters from the centerline, which resulted in a score of 93.7% for the overall landing. Despite this minor deviation, the aircraft's performance during the approach, touchdown, and rollout phases was generally good, demonstrating a high degree of skill and control.
