MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Raise the gear lever promptly once a positive climb is confirmed, before reaching the target retraction height.
What happened: Gear retraction was delayed, with the gear not coming up until 0 ft agl.
Watch for: Landing gear: up by the normal retraction gate
Arrival
Add power earlier on final to hold VREF of 140 kt by the gates rather than let speed decay.
What happened: The approach was flown too slow through the stabilisation gates, crossing the threshold at 133 kt against a VREF of 140 kt.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator against 140 kt from the first stabilisation gate onward.
See Arrival Approach
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: sink rate 1,238 fpm, more than the glideslope needed and speed 6 kt SLOW on the reference speed of 140 kt.
At the 500 ft gate: speed 6 kt SLOW on the reference speed of 140 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,742 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 610 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Budapest Liszt Ferenc International Airport (LHBP) took a brief 5 minutes, covering less than 1 nautical mile. The Airbus A320 then began its departure roll on runway 13R, utilizing 59% of the 2,950-meter runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 156 knots, overcoming a slight headwind of 1 knot. The local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 15°C and a gentle wind of 2 knots from a direction of 67°.
As the aircraft transitioned into the enroute climb phase, it began ascending from an altitude of 1,389 feet above sea level to 3,007 feet, a gain of 1,618 feet in just 2 minutes. This climb phase covered a distance of 7 nautical miles, positioning the aircraft for a level cruise. The enroute level cruise phase commenced 2 miles southwest of Monor, lasting 4 minutes and covering 11 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, aligning with runway 31R at LHBP, which has a length of 3,695 meters. The final approach was initiated from the southeast, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 313.0° at an altitude of 1,183 feet above ground level, 4 nautical miles from the runway.
The Airbus A320 touched down on runway 31R at a speed of 134 knots, with a touchdown point located 195 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown rate was a perfect 4 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions remained unchanged, with a temperature of 15°C and a gentle wind of 2 knots from a direction of 67°. The aircraft experienced a slight tailwind of 1 knot during the landing. The total flight distance was 25 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 11 minutes, with the aircraft consuming 697 kilograms of fuel.
The aircraft, an Airbus A320, commenced its final approach to runway 31R at LHBP Budapest Liszt Ferenc International Airport from the south east, aligning with the heading of 313.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,183 feet above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a slight deviation from the target threshold height of 58 feet above ground level. However, the threshold speed was well within the acceptable range at 134 knots, indicating a good control of the aircraft's descent.
As the aircraft touched down on the runway, the touchdown point was located 195 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone. The touchdown speed of 134 knots was also within the desired range, and the touchdown rate of 4 feet per minute was perfect, demonstrating a smooth and controlled landing. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was well-centered on the runway. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15°C and a gentle wind of 2 knots at 67°, contributed to a relatively calm and stable environment for the landing.
The overall performance of the aircraft during the landing phase was excellent, with a score of 96.5%. The combination of a good threshold speed, a perfect touchdown rate, and a very good runway touchdown alignment resulted in a smooth and controlled landing. The slight deviation from the target threshold height was the only notable deviation from the ideal performance, but it did not significantly impact the overall outcome of the landing.
