Flight Score
Departure
Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.
What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 6.4°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
Arrival
Hold the aim point and wait for the speed to bleed before raising the nose, starting the flare within the normal band instead of 69 ft.
What happened: The flare began at 69 ft, 24 ft earlier than the normal band.
Watch for: Radio altimeter: start the flare within the normal flare band
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.

From brake release to the end of the climb, against time, then the takeoff point by point.
Lifted off at 154 kt with 7.8° of pitch.
Two traces from brake release: the airspeed on top, and below it the pitch, which is how far the nose is above the horizon. The figure at liftoff is the pitch then. The shaded stretch is Climb 3, the part of the climb scored on holding the climb speed.
The takeoff, point by point
Side view from the start of the roll to the end of Climb 3 at 951 ft.
Reached 35 ft with 1,949 m of runway left; then climbing at 1,900 fpm on average to 951 ft.
The takeoff from the side: the height above the runway against the distance along it. The numbers along the runway are the speeds reached at each point. Lifting off in the amber last quarter of the runway costs marks for the roll length. The shaded stretch is Climb 3, scored on its average speed against the target.
Plan view the roll down the 3,701 m runway.
Rolled from 86 m in, drifted right of the centreline, 2.7 m at the widest, and lifted off 2.7 m right, in 5 kn of crosswind from the right. Airborne 35 % of the way down the runway, before the 75 % line.
The roll from above, with your left at the top. The line is where the wheels went, and "widest" is the furthest you drifted off the centreline. Lifting off before the amber 75 % line gets full marks for the roll length. The arrow beside the runway is the crosswind, pointing the way the air was moving, so it pushed the aircraft that way.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
When the approach was stable
Every check met from 4 nm to 0.7 nm, then not again: left of the centreline from 0.7 nm to the threshold.
Each line is one of the gate checks, run along the whole final rather than only at the gates: green where it would have passed, amber where it would not. The glideslope, centreline and speed lines use the bands in the charts beside this card. The sink rate is allowed what the glideslope needs at your ground speed plus 600 fpm, the wings 10° of bank, and the gear and flap are read from when you moved the levers. The bottom line is green where every check held at once, ignoring blips shorter than 0.2 nm, and the sentence above it says from where it held to the threshold. A ring is a stabilisation gate, where the checks in the table were taken.
The final from 4 nm, with the stabilisation gates on it.
Profile height against the 3° glideslope, with its 1° band in green.
Inside the glideslope band from 4 nm to the threshold, never more than 60 ft above the slope.
Your height above the runway against the distance still to go. The glideslope is the steady descent path to the aiming point, 305 m past the threshold: 3° here, which is about 320 ft for every nautical mile out, crossing the threshold at about 50 ft. The row under the distances is the height it puts you at. Inside the green band your path is drawn green; outside it, amber. A ring is a stabilisation gate: green when every check there passed, amber with the failed checks named beside it.
Plan distance off the extended centreline, your left at the top, with the 1° band. Sideways distances are drawn 14× larger than distances along the final.
Inside the 1° band from 4 nm to 0.7 nm, then 27 m left of it from 0.7 nm to the threshold.
Looking down from above, flying left to right towards the runway: up the page is left of the centreline, down is right. Sideways distances are stretched so that small drifts show, so a line that looks wild here may be only a few tens of feet. The labels are how far off you were at each distance, amber when outside the band.
Speed against the approach speed. The green band runs from 5 kt slow to 33 kt fast at the 1,000 ft gate, closing to 20 at 500 ft and 10 at the threshold.
Inside the speed band all the way, between +3 kt and +22 kt on the approach speed of 133 kt.
Your indicated airspeed down the final, against the approach speed for this aircraft at its landing weight. The band allows 5 kt slow and more on the fast side further out, closing as you get lower, because the speed is expected to come off on the way down. The figures are knots above (+) or below (−) the approach speed.
Over the threshold
Touchdown
Very poor landing flare
3 kt across from the right, which takes about 1° of crab to hold the centreline at 133 kt. Touched down with 1° of it still on, wings level.
Wind 150° at 8 kt · 7 kt head · 3 kt across
The wind is the one recorded at the landing, split along the runway (headwind or tailwind) and across it. To hold the centreline in a crosswind the nose points a little into wind - the crab - and is straightened with rudder just before the wheels touch, often with the into-wind wing lowered to stop the drift. These are the nose against the direction you were actually moving, and the wings, at the moment of touchdown. Shown for reading; not marked.
From 123 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 48 s, an average deceleration of 0.10 g.
Your ground speed from the moment the wheels touched until you were down to taxi speed, against the distance rolled. A steep line is hard braking, a shallow one a long, gentle roll. For scale, an airliner's lowest autobrake setting decelerates at about 0.15 g, a medium one about 0.3 g. Shown for reading; not marked.
Side view — the last 1,908 m of the approach.
Crossed the threshold at 55 ft, close to the 50 ft target. Touched down 558 m in, 253 m past the ideal 305 m.
The last stretch of the approach and the touchdown, from the side. The height is stretched so that the last few feet show: 80 ft top to bottom, against 1,908 m across. The dashed line is the ideal, 50 ft over the threshold and down 305 m in. The flare ring is where you began raising the nose, and "descent slowed" is where the sink came off; the figures beside them are the sink rate, pitch and speed at that point.
Sink and pitch — through the flare, lined up with the side view.
The sink went from 630 fpm at 53 ft to 280 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 1.9° on the way down.
Lined up with the side view above, so a point on one sits under the same point of the other. On top, how fast you were coming down: 0 is level, and −600 is 600 ft a minute down. Below, the pitch. In a flare the nose comes up and the descent slows towards 0. The figure at the touchdown line is your touchdown rate.
Plan view — the first 1,908 m of the 2,993 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 5.4 m left of the centreline, and stayed about there down the rollout, 5.6 m left at the widest.
The runway from above, with your left at the top. Touching down inside the green bracket scores full marks for the distance. The shaded part is the rollout, up to where it ended. The arrow beside the runway is the crosswind, pointing the way the air was moving, so it pushed the aircraft that way.
Touched down 558 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight originated from Budapest Liszt Ferenc International Airport, departing from runway 13L and taking off with a distance of 1,244 meters, equivalent to 34% of the runway length. The E195 aircraft achieved a liftoff speed of 155 knots. Local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 4°C, a wind speed of 9 knots blowing at an angle of 170°, resulting in a crosswind of 6 knots and a headwind of 7 knots.
Following a smooth takeoff, the aircraft initiated its enroute climb 1 mile north east of Vecses, Hungary. Within 11 minutes, the plane climbed from an altitude of 1,479 feet above sea level to 26,227 feet, an increase of 24,748 feet. This climb covered a distance of 53 nautical miles. Subsequent to the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise 2 miles east of Tazlar, Hungary, with a duration of 3 minutes and spanning 24 nautical miles.
The first level cruise was short-lived as the aircraft began its descent 3 miles north east of Subotica, Serbia. The descent from 26,249 feet to 7,085 feet took 12 minutes and covered 67 nautical miles. The descent leveled off once more as the plane entered another enroute cruise 1 mile north of Ingija, Serbia, lasting 5 minutes and covering 13 nautical miles.
The final descent began 2 miles north west of Ruma, Serbia, and saw the aircraft drop from 6,601 feet to 1,599 feet in just 6 minutes, a decrease of 5,002 feet. This descent covered 21 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 12 at Belgrade Nikola Tesla Airport from the north west, establishing a heading of 122.0°.
Despite the local weather conditions at the destination airport featuring a temperature of 2°C, a wind speed of 6 knots, and a crosswind of 1 knot with a headwind of 6 knots, the aircraft landed smoothly on runway 12, which had a length of 2,993 meters. However, the landing experience was slightly complicated by the threshold height being slightly above target at 56 feet above ground level and the threshold speed being slightly above target at 139 knots.
The touchdown point was situated 140 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 133 knots. While the touchdown speed was commendable, the touchdown rate of -284 feet per minute was considered fair. Additionally, the runway touchdown position was 5.6 meters off-centreline from the runway's centerline.
With a total landing distance of 1,826 meters, equivalent to 61% of the runway length, the aircraft demonstrated good brake performance, and the runway rollout alignment proved to be very good. The 7-minute taxiing journey from the runway to the parking area covered a distance of 1 nautical mile.
Overall, the flight covered a total distance of 186 nautical miles and consumed 3,814 kilograms of fuel throughout its journey, with a total flight time of 51 minutes.
