Flight Score
Departure
Roll the wings level with aileron and hold bank within limits as you establish the climb.
What happened: Bank increased to 2.1° during the initial climb, and wings stayed over-banked at 15° into the next climb segment.
Watch for: Attitude indicator bank angle, aiming to keep it near wings-level
Arrival
Hold the aim point and wait for the speed to bleed before raising the nose, starting the flare within the normal band instead of 75 ft.
What happened: The flare began at 75 ft, 30 ft earlier than the normal band.
Watch for: Radio altimeter: start the flare within the normal flare band
See Arrival Landing
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.
Lifted off at 135 kt with 5.5° of pitch.
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 figure at liftoff is the pitch then. 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 962 ft.
Reached 35 ft with 2,099 m of runway left; then climbing at 2,220 fpm on average to 962 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 shaded stretch is Climb 3, scored on its average speed against the target.
Plan view the roll down the 3,494 m runway.
Rolled from 169 m in, drifted 1.8 m left of the centreline and was back on it to lift off. Airborne 28 % 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.
One stabilised approach gate: six 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.
When the approach was stable
Every check met from 2.0 to 1.3 nm, then not again: high from 1.3 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.
Low from 4 nm to 2.0 nm (up to 500 ft under), then back on it to 1.3 nm, then high to the threshold (up to 210 ft over).
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 3× larger than distances along the final.
Inside the 1° band from 4 nm to 3.1 nm, then drifted 186 m right between 3.1 and 2.0 nm, then inside the band from 2.0 nm to the threshold.
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 30 kt fast at the 1,000 ft gate, closing to 18 at 500 ft and 10 at the threshold.
Inside the speed band from 4 nm to 3.2 nm, then slow to 2.5 nm (up to −7 kt), then inside the band to the threshold.
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
Perfect landing flare
Little crosswind (2 kt): nothing to correct for. Touched down with the nose 2° left of the track, wings level.
Wind 032° at 3 kt · 0 kt tail · 2 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 60 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 19 s, an average deceleration of 0.08 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 1,524 m of the approach.
Crossed the threshold at 55 ft, close to the 50 ft target. Touched down 490 m in, 185 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 1,524 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 830 fpm at 56 ft to 80 fpm at touchdown. The nose went down 2.9° 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 1,524 m of the 3,006 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 5.5 m left of the centreline and drifted to 11 m left on the rollout.
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.
The 490 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking area to the runway, which took 18 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, an Embraer E195, then departed from runway 29 at Vienna International Airport (LOWW). The takeoff distance was 1,004 meters, which accounted for 29% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 136 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of -2°C, with a wind speed of 4 knots at a direction of 67°. The crosswind component was 3 knots, while the tailwind component was also 3 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile west of the airport and rising from an altitude of 1,661 feet above sea level to 4,034 feet above sea level, an increase of 2,373 feet in just 1 minute, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. This phase began 1 mile east of the town of Himberg in Austria. The aircraft then started another climb phase, this time from 1 mile north of Reisenberg, Austria, and rose from 4,013 feet above sea level to 16,002 feet above sea level, an increase of 11,989 feet in 5 minutes, covering a distance of 23 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which lasted for 5 minutes and covered a distance of 33 nautical miles. This phase began overhead the town of Deutsch Jahrndorf in Burgenland, Austria. The aircraft then started its descent phase, which began 2 miles southwest of the town of Kolarovo in Slovakia. The descent from 15,996 feet above sea level to 1,342 feet above sea level, a decrease of 14,654 feet in 12 minutes, covered a distance of 54 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 13R at Budapest Liszt Ferenc International Airport (LHBP) was made from the northwest, with a heading of 140.0° at an altitude of 4 nautical miles and 868 feet above ground level. However, the aircraft was forced to execute a go-around at an altitude of 454 feet above ground level. The aircraft then landed on runway 13R, which had a length of 3,006 meters. The threshold height at 56 feet above ground level was slightly above the target, while the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 123 knots.
The touchdown point was 68 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 116 knots, which was considered good. The touchdown rate was smooth at -116 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.5 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -3°C, with a wind speed of 2 knots at a direction of 26°. The crosswind component was 2 knots, while the tailwind component was 1 knot.
The total landing distance was 1,322 meters, which accounted for 44% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 12.5 meters from the centerline. The total flight distance was 126 nautical miles, taking 32 minutes, and the aircraft used 1,445 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
