Flight Score
Departure
Rotate sooner, bringing the nose up at 142 kt rather than letting speed build further.
What happened: You lifted off at 160 kt against a rotation target of 142 kt, rotating late in the ground roll.
Watch for: Watch airspeed and rotate at the target of 142 kt.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Keep the back pressure coming through the flare so the sink does not return at 170 fpm.
What happened: The flare arrested the sink, but then the sink returned before touchdown.
Watch for: Watch the VSI in the flare and keep arrested sink from returning before touchdown at 0 fpm.
See Arrival Landing
A typical trainer rotates in the mid-50s of knots - a 172 at around 55 KIAS, climbing out at a Vy in the low 70s, though check your own POH rather than memorising Cessna's numbers - and the transferable rule is that Vr sits just above the stall speed in takeoff configuration. Rotate early because "it felt ready" and the aircraft lifts off inside ground effect, where induced drag is reduced, then climbs out of it into more drag. On a marginal-performance day the result is an aircraft that lifts off and then refuses to climb, sagging back towards the runway.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: seven checks where the approach path is 300 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,701 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 713 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 31R at LHBP Budapest Liszt Ferenc International Airport. The Airbus A321 took off with a takeoff distance of 882 meters, which accounted for 24% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 160 knots, and the aircraft climbed away from the airport.
As the aircraft climbed, it encountered local weather conditions of 8 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 12 knots at 320 degrees. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, while the headwind component was 12 knots. The enroute climb started overhead the airport, where the aircraft ascended from 1,466 feet above sea level to 4,748 feet above sea level, an increase of 3,281 feet in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles.
The enroute descent began 1 mile southwest of Gyomro, where the aircraft descended from 4,733 feet above sea level to 1,620 feet above sea level, a decrease of 3,113 feet in 5 minutes, covering a distance of 12 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 31R was made from the southeast, heading 320.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,162 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 31R was executed with a threshold speed slightly above the target at 123 knots. The touchdown point was 286 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 114 knots and a touchdown rate of -180 feet per minute, both of which were considered good. However, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 14.7 meters from the centerline, and the runway rollout alignment was also misaligned by 16.2 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 7 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 18 knots at 312 degrees, with a crosswind component of 0 knots and a headwind component of 18 knots. The total landing distance was 1,587 meters, which accounted for 43% of the runway. The total flight distance was 38 nautical miles, taking 14 minutes, and the aircraft used -3 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A321 aircraft successfully landed at LHBP Budapest Liszt Ferenc International Airport, with a score of 88.7%. The final approach was conducted from the south east, heading 320.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,162 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 31R, which has a length of 3,701 meters.
The threshold height was reported as good, but the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 123 knots. The touchdown point was 286 meters beyond the touchdown zone, indicating that the aircraft landed slightly further down the runway than intended. The touchdown speed of 114 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -180 feet per minute (fpm) was also good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 7°C and a wind speed of 18 knots from 312°. This resulted in a crosswind of 0 knots and a headwind of 18 knots. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 14.7 meters from the centerline, which may have contributed to the slightly longer landing distance.
The total landing distance was 1,587 meters, which is 43% 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. However, the runway rollout alignment was also misaligned by 16.2 meters from the centerline, which may have affected the aircraft's ability to maintain a straight course during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, but there were some minor deviations from the intended touchdown point and runway alignment. These deviations may be addressed through further training or adjustments to the aircraft's approach and landing procedures.
