Work on the flare
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.

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 2,597 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,597 m of the 3,006 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 920 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, an Embraer E190, then departed from runway 28 at Zürich Airport (LSZH) and took off with a takeoff distance of 1,764 meters, which was 71% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 148 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it encountered local weather conditions of 10°C temperature and a 3-knot tailwind. The enroute climb started 1 mile south of Hofstetten, Switzerland, and reached an altitude of 34,260 feet above sea level, an increase of 31,962 feet from the initial altitude of 2,298 feet. This climb took 19 minutes and covered a distance of 91 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, which started 1 mile northwest of Tarrenz, Austria, and lasted for 32 minutes. During this period, the aircraft covered a distance of 246 nautical miles. The enroute descent phase began 3 miles northwest of Alsoujlak, Hungary, and descended from 33,849 feet to 4,834 feet above sea level, a decrease of 29,015 feet, in 15 minutes and covering 88 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 1 mile north of Szigetcsep, Hungary, and lasted for 4 minutes, covering 11 nautical miles. The enroute descent phase began 1 mile north of Budaors, Hungary, and descended from 4,799 feet to 3,917 feet above sea level, a decrease of 882 feet, in 2 minutes and covering 5 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started overhead Solymar, Hungary, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering 5 nautical miles. The enroute descent phase began overhead Angyalfoeld, Hungary, and descended from 3,163 feet to 1,735 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,428 feet, in 2 minutes and covering 5 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 13R at Budapest Liszt Ferenc International Airport (LHBP) was made from the northwest, heading 132.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,276 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 13R, which had a length of 3,006 meters. The threshold height was significantly above the target, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 143 knots.
The touchdown point was 479 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 136 knots, which was fast. The touchdown rate was good at -194 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 9.6 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 4°C temperature and a 7-knot headwind.
The total landing distance was 2,491 meters, which was 83% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was misaligned by 18.0 meters from the centerline. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 7 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 462 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 93 minutes. The aircraft used 2,682 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Embraer E190 aircraft successfully landed at Budapest Liszt Ferenc International Airport (LHBP) on runway 13R, but the landing was not without some issues. The final approach was initiated from the north-west, heading 132.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,276 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on the runway, but the touchdown point was 479 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, indicating that the pilot may have slightly over-extended the landing.
The touchdown speed of 136 knots was slightly faster than the target speed, which could have contributed to the over-extended landing. However, the touchdown rate of -194 feet per minute (fpm) was good, indicating that the aircraft was able to absorb the impact of landing smoothly. The runway touchdown position was also misaligned by 9.6 meters from the centerline, which could have been due to a slight deviation in the pilot's alignment during the approach.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 4°C and a wind speed of 7 knots at 90°. The crosswind and headwind components were both 5 knots, which was relatively light and should not have significantly impacted the landing. The total landing distance of 2,491 meters was 83% of the runway length, which is within the acceptable range.
One area of concern was the runway rollout alignment, which was misaligned by 18.0 meters from the centerline. This could have been due to a combination of factors, including the pilot's alignment during the approach and the aircraft's response to the landing. Overall, while the landing was not perfect, the Embraer E190 was able to safely touch down on the runway and come to a stop without incident.
