Slow down before tight turns
Twenty knots on a monitor produces the visual sensation of about ten. The advice to "taxi at a walking pace" cannot fix this, because your sense of walking pace is exactly the thing that's broken. Put the groundspeed readout in your scan and obey it for the next fifty flights, the way a student pilot leans on the airspeed indicator before learning to read attitude.

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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,006 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 524 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft, an Airbus A320, taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Munich Airport, EDDM. This process took 17 minutes and covered a distance of 6 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 08R, with the aircraft taking off after covering 36% of the runway's length. The takeoff distance was 1,417 meters, and the liftoff speed was 170 knots.
As the aircraft climbed into the air, it encountered local weather conditions of -1°C temperature and a wind speed of 2 knots at 90 degrees. The crosswind was negligible, but there was a headwind of 2 knots. The enroute climb started over Munich Airport, with the aircraft ascending from 2,503 feet above sea level to 32,527 feet, an increase of 30,025 feet in just 10 minutes. This climb covered a distance of 111 nautical miles.
After reaching cruising altitude, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 9 minutes and covered 122 nautical miles. This phase began 1 mile south-east of Naarn im Machlande in Austria. Following the cruise, the aircraft started its descent, which began 3 miles east of Dunajská Streda in Slovakia. The descent took 18 minutes and covered 67 nautical miles, with the aircraft decreasing its altitude from 32,513 feet to 1,739 feet.
The final approach to runway 13R at Budapest Liszt Ferenc International Airport, LHBP, was made from the north-west, with the aircraft heading 132.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,272 feet above ground level. The landing took place on a runway with a length of 3,006 meters, and the threshold height was good. The threshold speed was also satisfactory at 133 knots.
The touchdown point was 106 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 124 knots, which was considered good. However, the touchdown rate was fair at -219 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the local weather conditions at the time of landing were -2°C temperature and a wind speed of 5 knots at 120 degrees. The crosswind was 1 knot, and there was a headwind of 5 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,357 meters, which was 45% of the runway's length. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 312 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 52 minutes. The aircraft used 183 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at Budapest Liszt Ferenc International Airport (LHBP) on runway 13R, achieving a high score of 99.0%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north-west, heading 132.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,272 feet above ground level (agl).
The landing was executed with precision, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 133 knots. The touchdown point was 106 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The touchdown speed of 124 knots was also within the acceptable range, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
However, the touchdown rate of -219 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair, suggesting that the aircraft may have touched down slightly harder than desired. Nevertheless, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -2°C and a wind speed of 5 knots from a direction of 120°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 5 knots, which helped to stabilize the aircraft during the approach.
The total landing distance of 1,357 meters was 45% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was a success, with the aircraft demonstrating good control and precision throughout the approach and touchdown phases. However, there is room for improvement in terms of touchdown rate, which can be achieved through further refinement of the approach and landing techniques.
