See Departure Roll
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 rest of the report
The flight began with the departure roll from runway 31R at Budapest Liszt Ferenc International Airport (LHBP). The Airbus A320 took off with a takeoff distance of 1,895 meters, which is 51% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 156 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of 14 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots from 270 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 1 knot.
As the aircraft climbed out of LHBP, it reached an altitude of 3,108 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,634 feet from the initial altitude of 1,475 feet. This climb took place over a distance of 5 nautical miles in 2 minutes. The enroute level cruise started overhead Nagytarcsa, lasting for 2 minutes and covering 6 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began its descent from an altitude of 2,951 feet above sea level to 2,338 feet above sea level, a decrease of 613 feet over a distance of 5 nautical miles in 2 minutes. The enroute level cruise started again overhead Monor, lasting for 2 minutes and covering 3 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 31R at LHBP was made from the southeast, heading 313.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,241 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown point 52 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 131 knots, which was good, and the touchdown rate was fair at -209 feet per minute.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of -4 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 4 knots from 317 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 0 knots and a headwind of 4 knots. The total landing distance was 1,657 meters, which is 45% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect.
The total flight distance was 26 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 14 minutes. The aircraft used a total of -6,547 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at LHBP Budapest Liszt Ferenc International Airport, showcasing a high level of precision and control. The aircraft approached the runway from the south east, aligning itself with the heading of 313.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,241 feet above ground level (agl). This positioning allowed the pilots to maintain a stable and controlled descent onto the runway.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on runway 31R, which has a length of 3,701 meters. The threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the pilots maintained a suitable altitude before touchdown. The threshold speed of 136 knots was also within the acceptable range, demonstrating the pilots' ability to manage the aircraft's speed during the final approach.
The touchdown point was located 52 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. However, the touchdown speed of 131 knots was still within the acceptable range, indicating that the pilots maintained control of the aircraft's speed during the landing. The touchdown rate of -209 feet per minute (fpm) was fair, suggesting that the pilots could have managed the descent more efficiently.
Despite the minor deviations, the runway touchdown alignment was reported as very good, indicating that the pilots maintained a stable and controlled approach. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of -4°C and a wind speed of 4 knots from 317°, did not pose a significant challenge to the landing. The crosswind component was negligible, and the headwind component of 4 knots actually assisted the pilots in maintaining a stable approach.
The total landing distance of 1,657 meters was 45% of the runway length, which is a relatively efficient use of the available runway. The runway rollout alignment was reported as perfect, indicating that the pilots maintained a stable and controlled rollout after touchdown. Overall, the landing was a success, with the pilots demonstrating a high level of skill and control throughout the approach and landing phases.
