Departure
Reduce climb power to bring speed back to 184 kt and hold it there.
What happened: Climb speed was 29 kt fast at 213 kt during the climb.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 184 kt in the climb
Arrival
Use small rudder inputs against a point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline during rollout.
What happened: During the rollout the aircraft drifted 20 m off the centreline.
Watch for: Runway centreline marks: hold the aircraft tracking straight down the centreline through rollout
See Arrival Rollout
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.

From brake release to the end of the climb, against time, then the takeoff point by point.
Rotated at 147 kt, 4 kt below the 151 kt target, and lifted off at 160 kt 3.1 s later, the nose coming up at 4.2° a second. Climb 3 averaged 213 kt, 29 kt over its 184 kt target.
Two traces from brake release: the airspeed on top, and below it the pitch, which is how far the nose is above the horizon. The dashed green line is the speed to rotate at for this aircraft at its weight, and the green dot is where the nose started to come up. The figures at liftoff are the pitch then and how fast the nose came up, in degrees a second. The shaded stretch is Climb 3, the part of the climb scored on holding the climb speed.
The takeoff, point by point
Side view from the start of the roll to the end of Climb 3 at 939 ft.
Reached 35 ft with 2,243 m of runway left; gear up at 6 ft, inside the 400 ft that gets full marks; then climbing at 2,180 fpm on average to 939 ft.
The takeoff from the side: the height above the runway against the distance along it. The numbers along the runway are the speeds reached at each point. Lifting off in the amber last quarter of the runway costs marks for the roll length. The gear-up ring is coloured by its mark. The shaded stretch is Climb 3, scored on its average speed against the target.
Plan view the roll down the 3,741 m runway.
Rolled from 82 m in, drifted left of the centreline, 8.5 m at the widest, and lifted off 8.7 m left, in 10 kn of crosswind from the left. Airborne 31 % of the way down the runway, before the 75 % line.
The roll from above, with your left at the top. The line is where the wheels went, and "widest" is the furthest you drifted off the centreline. Lifting off before the amber 75 % line gets full marks for the roll length. The arrow beside the runway is the crosswind, pointing the way the air was moving, so it pushed the aircraft that way.
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: speed more than 5 kt below the approach speed of 139 kt.
At the 500 ft gate: glideslope more than 1° off the runway's 3° and speed more than 5 kt below the approach speed of 139 kt.
When the approach was stable
Every check met from 2.2 to 2.0 nm, then not again: slow from 2.0 nm to the threshold.
Each line is one of the gate checks, run along the whole final rather than only at the gates: green where it would have passed, amber where it would not. The glideslope, centreline and speed lines use the bands in the charts beside this card. The sink rate is allowed what the glideslope needs at your ground speed plus 600 fpm, the wings 10° of bank, and the gear and flap are read from when you moved the levers. The bottom line is green where every check held at once, ignoring blips shorter than 0.2 nm, and the sentence above it says from where it held to the threshold. A ring is a stabilisation gate, where the checks in the table were taken.
The final from 4 nm, with the stabilisation gates on it.
Profile height against the 3° glideslope, with its 1° band in green.
Inside the glideslope band from 4 nm to the threshold, never more than 190 ft above the slope.
Your height above the runway against the distance still to go. The glideslope is the steady descent path to the aiming point, 305 m past the threshold: 3° here, which is about 320 ft for every nautical mile out, crossing the threshold at about 50 ft. The row under the distances is the height it puts you at. Inside the green band your path is drawn green; outside it, amber. A ring is a stabilisation gate: green when every check there passed, amber with the failed checks named beside it.
Plan distance off the extended centreline, your left at the top, with the 1° band. Sideways distances are drawn 31× larger than distances along the final.
Inside the 1° band all the way from 4 nm, never more than 11 m off the centreline.
Looking down from above, flying left to right towards the runway: up the page is left of the centreline, down is right. Sideways distances are stretched so that small drifts show, so a line that looks wild here may be only a few tens of feet. The labels are how far off you were at each distance, amber when outside the band.
Speed against the approach speed. The green band runs from 5 kt slow to 35 kt fast at the 1,000 ft gate, closing to 21 at 500 ft and 10 at the threshold.
Slow from 4 nm to 2.2 nm (up to −11 kt), then inside the band to 2.0 nm, then slow to the threshold (up to −12 kt).
Your indicated airspeed down the final, against the approach speed for this aircraft at its landing weight. The band allows 5 kt slow and more on the fast side further out, closing as you get lower, because the speed is expected to come off on the way down. The figures are knots above (+) or below (−) the approach speed.
Over the threshold
Touchdown
The flare tracked the target profile exactly. The aircraft floated down the runway before touching. Touchdown was 871 m past the threshold. Threshold speed was not the cause here - hold the aim point on the approach and let the aircraft settle rather than holding it off, and the touchdown comes back to the numbers.
13 kt across from the left, which takes about 6° of crab to hold the centreline at 120 kt. Touched down with 6° of it still on, wings level.
Wind 060° at 15 kt · 4 kt head · 13 kt across
The wind is the one recorded at the landing, split along the runway (headwind or tailwind) and across it. To hold the centreline in a crosswind the nose points a little into wind - the crab - and is straightened with rudder just before the wheels touch, often with the into-wind wing lowered to stop the drift. These are the nose against the direction you were actually moving, and the wings, at the moment of touchdown. Shown for reading; not marked.
From 115 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 30 s, an average deceleration of 0.15 g.
Your ground speed from the moment the wheels touched until you were down to taxi speed, against the distance rolled. A steep line is hard braking, a shallow one a long, gentle roll. For scale, an airliner's lowest autobrake setting decelerates at about 0.15 g, a medium one about 0.3 g. Shown for reading; not marked.
Side view — the last 1,829 m of the approach.
Crossed the threshold at 47 ft, close to the 50 ft target; began the flare at 34 ft. Touched down 871 m in, 566 m past the ideal 305 m.
The last stretch of the approach and the touchdown, from the side. The height is stretched so that the last few feet show: 80 ft top to bottom, against 1,829 m across. The dashed line is the ideal, 50 ft over the threshold and down 305 m in. The flare ring is where you began raising the nose, and "descent slowed" is where the sink came off; the figures beside them are the sink rate, pitch and speed at that point.
Sink and pitch — through the flare, lined up with the side view.
The sink went from 390 fpm at the flare to 170 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 3.3° on the way down.
Lined up with the side view above, so a point on one sits under the same point of the other. On top, how fast you were coming down: 0 is level, and −600 is 600 ft a minute down. Below, the pitch. In a flare the nose comes up and the descent slows towards 0. The figure at the touchdown line is your touchdown rate.
Plan view — the first 1,829 m of the 3,044 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down on the centreline and drifted to 20 m left on the rollout, back to 7.9 m left by the end.
The runway from above, with your left at the top. Touching down inside the green bracket scores full marks for the distance. The shaded part is the rollout, up to where it ended. The arrow beside the runway is the crosswind, pointing the way the air was moving, so it pushed the aircraft that way.
Touched down 871 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The aircraft departed from runway 13L at LHBP Budapest Liszt Ferenc International Airport. Take-off was performed over a distance of 1,182 m (32 % of runway) with rotation at 147 kt. Local weather was 12 °C, wind 13 kt from 050°, giving a 13 kt crosswind and a 2 kt headwind.
Initial climb to 1,000 ft agl took 23 seconds, averaging 1,981 fpm and reaching 211 kt at the top of the climb. The climb continued from 1,168 ft asl to 3,595 ft asl in 1 minute while covering 6 nm, passing overhead Vecses.
The aircraft levelled at 3,900 ft asl for 2 minutes, covering 5 nm and starting 1 mile south of Gyal. Descent began from 3,628 ft asl to 1,494 ft asl in 8 minutes over 20 nm, starting 1 mile south of Kispest, with a brief level-off at 2,500 ft asl.
Final approach to runway 13R at LHBP was made from 1,080 ft agl to -220 ft agl in 110 seconds. Stabilisation checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway were met for gear down, landing flap, sink rate, centreline and wings level; they were not met for glideslope (at one gate) and speed.
Landing was on runway 13R, runway length 3,044 m, with a good threshold height. Threshold speed was slightly below target at 132 kt. The flare was described as perfect; the aircraft floated before touchdown. Touchdown occurred 439 m beyond the touchdown zone at 120 kt, with a good rate of -170 fpm and perfect runway-touchdown alignment. No bounce was observed.
Total landing distance was 1,722 m (57 % of runway). Runway rollout alignment was misaligned by 20.4 m from the centreline. Local weather at landing was 11 °C, wind 11 kt from 060°, giving an 11 kt crosswind and a 3 kt headwind.
The flight covered 38 nm in 15 minutes and used 1,185 kg of fuel.
