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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 2,378 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,378 m of the 2,993 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 744 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with taxiing from the parking to the runway, which took 8 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, an Embraer E195, then departed from runway 13L at Budapest Liszt Ferenc International Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,350 meters, which is 36% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 152 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 5°C, with a wind speed of 2 knots at 0°. The crosswind was 1 knot, and there was a tailwind of 1 knot. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead Vecses, Hungary, and reaching an altitude of 14,809 feet above sea level in 5 minutes, covering a distance of 13 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started overhead Delegyhaza, Hungary, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute climb, this time from 15,000 feet to 30,564 feet above sea level, an increase of 15,564 feet in 9 minutes, covering a distance of 58 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise started 3 miles north of Kelebia, Hungary, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 13 nautical miles.
The enroute descent started 3 miles east of LYSU Subotica / Bikovo Sport Aerodrome Bikovo, Serbia, and lasted for 19 minutes, covering a distance of 93 nautical miles. The aircraft descended from 30,652 feet to 3,777 feet above sea level, a decrease of 26,874 feet. The enroute level cruise started 7 miles east of Ripanj, Serbia, and lasted for 5 minutes, covering a distance of 15 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 30 at Belgrade Nikola Tesla Airport was made from the south east, heading 301.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,274 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 30, which has a length of 2,993 meters. The threshold height was well above the target, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 141 knots.
The touchdown point was 327 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 134 knots, which was good. The touchdown rate was fair at -274 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.6 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 4°C, with a wind speed of 2 knots at 55°. The crosswind was 2 knots, and there was a tailwind of 1 knot.
The total landing distance was 2,296 meters, which is 77% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing to the parking from the runway took 4 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 207 nautical miles, taking 53 minutes, and the aircraft used 1,479 kilograms of fuel.
The recent landing of the Embraer E195 aircraft, with a score of 88.5%, provides insight into various aspects of the flight's final approach and runway contact. The aircraft initiated its final approach to runway 30 at Belgrade Nikola Tesla Airport (LYBE) from a location 4 nautical miles east of the runway, flying at an altitude of 1,274 feet above ground level (agl) and a heading of 301.0°. As it approached the runway, the pilot aimed for a smooth landing.
Upon landing, the aircraft met several key performance criteria. Notably, the threshold height was above the target of 70 feet, which means the aircraft landed with a higher-than-intended altitude just beyond the threshold of the runway. Nonetheless, the threshold speed of 141 knots was merely 1 knot higher than the target, suggesting that the pilot was able to effectively manage airspeed during the approach. As for the touchdown point, it lay 327 meters away from the designated touchdown zone, slightly extending beyond the planned landing area.
While the aircraft's touchdown speed of 134 knots remained steady and consistent, the touchdown rate was a tad subpar at -274 feet per minute (fpm), which indicates the pilot may have opted to sacrifice some altitude over the runway in order to ensure a smooth touchdown on the relatively long runway, which measures 2,993 meters.
During landing, the presence of light wind conditions contributed to the flight's execution. The wind was at a mere 2 knots strength from a direction of 55°, and although there was a minor crosswind influence at around 2 knots, the tailwind accounted for just 1 knot. These minor wind influences likely presented no major challenges for the pilot.
Upon completion of the landing, the aircraft's total distance rolled out before coming to a standstill measured 2,296 meters – an impressive 77% of the total runway length. Given the overall performance, the standout aspect of the landing concerned the good alignment observed during the runway rollout. The precise control exerted by the pilot in the aftermath of touching down undoubtedly helped in ensuring a smooth rollout.
