Work on the flare
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.
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 1,650 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,650 m of the 3,701 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 598 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 area to the runway, which took 7 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, an Embraer E195, then departed from runway 31L at Budapest Liszt Ferenc International Airport (LHBP). The takeoff distance was 824 meters, which accounted for 27% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 140 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 19°C and a wind speed of 5 knots from a direction of 330°. The crosswind component was 2 knots, while the headwind component was 5 knots. After departing from the airport, the enroute climb started 1 mile west of LHBP, where the aircraft climbed from an altitude of 1,521 feet above sea level to 2,947 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,426 feet in just 1 minute, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 1 mile east of Kobanya and lasted for 3 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its enroute descent overhead Ecser, where it descended from an altitude of 2,980 feet above sea level to 2,257 feet above sea level, a decrease of 724 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise resumed 1 mile north of Monor and lasted for 4 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 31R at LHBP was made from the southeast, heading 312.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,154 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 31R, which had a length of 3,701 meters. The threshold height was well above the target, while the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 123 knots.
The touchdown point was 172 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 113 knots and a firm touchdown rate of -314 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.1 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions during landing were a temperature of 16°C and a wind speed of 5 knots from a direction of 320°, with a crosswind component of 1 knot and a headwind component of 5 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,560 meters, which accounted for 42% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The total flight distance was 26 nautical miles, taking 18 minutes, and the aircraft used 452 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The aircraft in question, an E195, successfully landed at LHBP Budapest Liszt Ferenc International Airport on runway 31R. The final approach was initiated from the south east, heading 312.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,154 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's performance during the landing was satisfactory, with a touchdown speed of 113 knots, which was within the acceptable range.
However, there were a few areas where the landing could be improved. The threshold height at 78 feet agl was significantly above the target, indicating that the aircraft may have been too high during the approach. Additionally, the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 123 knots, suggesting that the aircraft may have been descending too quickly.
The touchdown point was 172 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The touchdown rate was firm at -314 feet per minute (fpm), which is within the acceptable range. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.1 meters from the centerline, which may require some adjustments to the aircraft's alignment during the approach.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 16°C and a wind speed of 5 knots at 320°. The crosswind was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind was 5 knots, which helped to stabilize the aircraft during the approach.
The total landing distance was 1,560 meters, which is 42% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was able to touch down and come to a stop within a reasonable distance. The runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the aircraft was able to maintain its alignment and direction during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was satisfactory, with some minor areas for improvement. The aircraft's performance during the approach and landing was good, and the weather conditions were favorable.
