Flight Score
Arrival
Reduce power earlier on final to bleed back to 131 kt well before the gate.
What happened: Approach was fast through the stabilisation gate, and the threshold was crossed at 146 kt against the 131 kt target. Carrying that extra speed in usually carries the touchdown long, which it did here at 1,943 ft against the 1,500 ft target.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 131 kt at the threshold
Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
At the 1,000 ft gate: speed 32 kt FAST on the reference speed of 131 kt.
At the 500 ft gate: speed 19 kt FAST on the reference speed of 131 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 6,773 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 6,773 ft of the 9,965 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,943 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Budapest Liszt Ferenc International Airport (LHBP), the Airbus A319 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 7 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. As the aircraft lined up on runway 31L, it was cleared for departure, and the takeoff roll commenced. The aircraft lifted off the ground at a speed of 155 knots, having covered a distance of 6,497 feet, which represented 66% of the available runway length.
As the aircraft climbed away from Budapest, it encountered a local weather pattern characterized by a temperature of 93°F and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 289°. The enroute climb phase began 2 miles east of Kispest, and the aircraft ascended from an initial altitude of 1,428 feet above sea level to a cruising altitude of 23,976 feet, a vertical gain of 22,548 feet in 9 minutes and covering a distance of 51 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise phase followed, during which the aircraft flew at a steady altitude for 56 minutes, covering a distance of 341 nautical miles. As the aircraft approached its destination, the enroute descent phase commenced 2 miles west of Steinheim am Albuch, and the aircraft descended from a cruising altitude of 24,007 feet to a final approach altitude of 2,579 feet, a vertical loss of 21,428 feet in 16 minutes and covering a distance of 81 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 07 at Stuttgart Airport (EDDS) was conducted from the west, with the aircraft aligning itself with the runway at a heading of 74.0° and an altitude of 1,336 feet above ground level. The landing was executed at a speed of 146 knots, which was above the target threshold speed. The touchdown point was located 609 feet beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 137 knots, which was slightly faster than desired. The touchdown rate was fair at -257 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took 8 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The total flight distance was 483 nautical miles, and the aircraft used 8,222 pounds of fuel during the journey, which lasted a total of 99 minutes.
The final approach to runway 07 at EDDS Stuttgart Airport from the west was executed with a heading of 74.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,336 feet above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height achieved. However, the threshold speed was above the target, reaching 146 knots, which may have contributed to a slightly faster touchdown speed.
The aircraft touched down 609 feet beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 137 knots, which was faster than desired. The touchdown rate of -257 feet per minute was fair, indicating a moderate deceleration. Notably, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, demonstrating precise control during the final stages of the approach. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 91°F and a light headwind of 2 knots, also played a role in the landing.
The total landing distance of 6,539 feet was 66% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short rollout. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, showcasing the pilot's ability to maintain control and direction during the critical phase of the landing. Overall, the landing performance scored 96.9%, reflecting a high level of proficiency and adherence to standard operating procedures.
