MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.
What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 5.2 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Apply steady, continuous back pressure through the flare to arrest the sink smoothly and hold the normal profile, rather than letting it drift.
What happened: The flare did not hold its target profile, with the sink most arrested at 0.9 ft, and this flight then touched down at 0 fpm of sink - a firm arrival. An unsettled flare profile like this usually carries through to a firmer touchdown.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a smooth, steadily decreasing sink rate through the flare to touchdown.
Ground control varies with speed, full authority at walking pace, progressively reducing as groundspeed rises. The aircraft becomes twitchy at any speed, every small pedal input swings the nose, which can encourage large-amplitude leg inputs that no real aircraft would accept.

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.
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 318 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a quick taxi from the parking area to the runway, taking less than a minute and covering a distance of less than a nautical mile. The aircraft, an MD-11, then departed from runway 13L at Budapest Liszt Ferenc International Airport (LHBP). The takeoff distance was 1,092 meters, which is 30% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 169 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of -3°C and a wind speed of 11 knots from a direction of 279°.
The crosswind component was 6 knots, while the tailwind component was 9 knots. As the aircraft took off, it began its enroute climb, starting overhead the town of Vecses in Hungary. The climb from 1,448 feet above sea level to 4,251 feet above sea level was a significant increase of 2,803 feet in just 1 minute, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles.
After reaching the cruising altitude, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 3 minutes and covered a distance of 11 nautical miles. This phase took place overhead the town of Ullo in Hungary. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 1 mile south of the town of Pilis in Hungary. The descent from 3,598 feet above sea level to 1,764 feet above sea level was a decrease of 1,834 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles.
Following the descent, the aircraft entered another level cruise phase, which lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. This phase took place overhead the town of Pilis in Hungary. The aircraft then began another climb phase, starting 2 miles southeast of the town of Monor in Hungary. The climb from 2,082 feet above sea level to 1,739 feet above sea level was an increase of 342 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 31R at LHBP Budapest Liszt Ferenc International Airport was made from the southeast, heading 312.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,280 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 31R, which has a length of 3,701 meters, was successful, with the threshold height being slightly above the target and the threshold speed being good at 130 knots.
The touchdown distance was also good at 319 meters, and the touchdown speed was 126 knots, which was good. However, the touchdown rate was hard at -437 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of -6°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 286°. The crosswind component was 1 knot, while the headwind component was also 1 knot.
The total landing distance was 1,228 meters, which is 33% of the runway length. Unfortunately, the runway rollout alignment was misaligned by 15.9 meters from the centerline. The total flight distance was 32 nautical miles, and the flight took 14 minutes to complete. The aircraft used a significant amount of fuel, with a total consumption of -22,492 kilograms.
The MD-11 aircraft successfully landed at LHBP Budapest Liszt Ferenc International Airport, achieving a score of 92.3%. The final approach to runway 31R was initiated from the south east, with a heading of 312.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,280 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 130 knots, which was within the target threshold speed. The touchdown distance of 319 meters was also satisfactory. However, the touchdown rate was slightly hard, at -437 feet per minute (fpm), which may indicate a slight deviation from the ideal landing technique.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -6°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 286°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind and headwind component, making the landing conditions relatively favorable.
The total landing distance of 1,228 meters was 33% of the runway length, which is a reasonable figure considering the aircraft's size and weight. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned, deviating from the centerline by 15.9 meters. This may indicate a slight deviation in the pilot's control inputs during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft touching down on the runway with a satisfactory speed and distance. However, the hard touchdown rate and slight misalignment of the runway rollout alignment may indicate areas for improvement in the pilot's technique.
