MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Use coordinated aileron input to level the wings and hold bank angle close to wings-level during the climb.
What happened: During the initial climb, your average bank angle drifted to 3.3°.
Watch for: Attitude indicator, bank angle near wings-level
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 97 ft.
What happened: The flare began at 97 ft, 52 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.

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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,830 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,830 m of the 3,701 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 778 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 to the runway, which took 7 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 08L at LROP Bucharest Henri Coandă International Airport. The takeoff distance was 910 meters, which accounted for 26% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 151 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 4 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 14 knots at a direction of 60 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 5 knots and a headwind of 12 knots. The aircraft began its enroute climb 1 mile east of the airport, rising from an altitude of 1,275 feet above sea level to 31,987 feet above sea level, an increase of 30,712 feet, in 17 minutes and covering a distance of 114 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 1 mile east of Rau Sadului in Sibiu, Romania. This phase lasted for 18 minutes and covered a distance of 142 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent 3 miles east of Mezobereny in Bekes County, Hungary. The descent took 17 minutes and covered a distance of 98 nautical miles, during which the aircraft dropped from an altitude of 31,983 feet above sea level to 1,699 feet above sea level.
The final approach to runway 31R at LHBP Budapest Liszt Ferenc International Airport was made from the southeast, heading 312.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,238 feet above ground level. The landing was executed on runway 31R, which had a length of 3,701 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 143 knots.
The touchdown point was 355 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 133 knots, which was considered good. However, the touchdown rate was fair at -223 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was also perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 3 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 4 knots at a direction of 340 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 4 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,743 meters, which accounted for 47% of the runway. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 6 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 362 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 68 minutes. The aircraft used 3,203 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at LHBP Budapest Liszt Ferenc International Airport, demonstrating a high level of proficiency in its landing procedure. The aircraft approached the runway from the south east, heading 312.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,238 feet above ground level (agl). This approach angle and distance allowed the pilots to maintain a safe and controlled descent onto the runway.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on runway 31R, which has a length of 3,701 meters. The threshold height was good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct altitude as it approached the runway. The threshold speed of 143 knots was also within the acceptable range, demonstrating the pilots' ability to manage the aircraft's speed during the landing process.
The touchdown point was 355 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is slightly beyond the ideal point but still within a safe margin. The touchdown speed of 133 knots was good, indicating that the pilots were able to slow the aircraft down effectively before touching down. However, the touchdown rate of -223 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair, suggesting that the pilots could have done a better job of controlling the aircraft's descent rate.
Despite the slightly higher than ideal touchdown rate, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilots were able to maintain the aircraft's alignment with the runway during the landing process. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were also favorable, with a temperature of 3°C and a wind speed of 4 knots at 340°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, while the headwind component was 4 knots, which helped to reduce the aircraft's ground speed and make the landing process easier.
The total landing distance of 1,743 meters was 47% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. This suggests that the pilots were able to slow the aircraft down effectively and maintain control during the landing process. Finally, the runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilots were able to maintain the aircraft's alignment with the runway during the rollout phase of the landing process. Overall, the landing was successful and demonstrated a high level of proficiency in the pilots' landing procedure.
