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 1,820 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,820 m of the 3,006 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 238 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 6 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 24 at EHAM Amsterdam Airport Schiphol. The takeoff distance was 1,480 meters, which is 46% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 155 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of 15°C, with a wind speed of 9 knots at 120°. The crosswind component was 8 knots, while the tailwind component was 4 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead Aalsmeerderbrug in the Netherlands. The climb took 19 minutes and covered 109 nautical miles, with the aircraft ascending from 1,043 feet above sea level to 35,894 feet above sea level, an increase of 34,851 feet.
After reaching the cruising altitude, the aircraft entered a level cruise, starting 5 miles north of Ascheberg in Germany. This phase of the flight lasted 52 minutes and covered 382 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting overhead Kobylnice in the Czech Republic. The descent took 27 minutes and covered 138 nautical miles, with the aircraft descending from 35,133 feet above sea level to 1,723 feet above sea level, a decrease of 33,410 feet.
The final approach to runway 13R at LHBP Budapest Liszt Ferenc International Airport was made from the northwest, heading 132.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,261 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 13R, which has a length of 3,006 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was well above the target at 150 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 241 meters, but the touchdown speed of 150 knots was fast. The touchdown rate was very heavy at -848 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 7.6 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 8°C, with a wind speed of 7 knots at 139°. The crosswind component was 1 knot, while the headwind component was 7 knots. The total landing distance was 1,748 meters, which is 58% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 637 nautical miles, taking 110 minutes, and the aircraft used 4,219 kilograms of fuel.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at LHBP Budapest Liszt Ferenc International Airport on runway 13R. The final approach was initiated from the north-west, heading 132.0° at an altitude of 1,261 feet above ground level (agl) and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The aircraft maintained a steady course throughout the approach, with a good threshold height and a speed that was well above the target threshold speed of 150 knots.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was recorded at 150 knots, which was considered fast. However, the touchdown distance of 241 meters was deemed good. The touchdown rate was particularly noteworthy, with a very heavy rate of -848 feet per minute (fpm). This indicates that the aircraft touched down with a significant amount of deceleration, which may have been influenced by the aircraft's speed and the runway's surface conditions.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 7.6 meters, which may have been due to factors such as wind or pilot error. However, the local weather conditions were relatively calm, with a temperature of 8°C and a wind speed of 7 knots from 139°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 7 knots, which may have contributed to the slight misalignment.
The total landing distance of 1,748 meters was 58% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilots maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase and were able to bring the aircraft to a stop safely and efficiently. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft touching down safely and the pilots demonstrating good control and management of the aircraft throughout the approach and rollout phases.
