Maintain the centreline
A small uncorrected heading error at 40 knots becomes a metre of offset per second by 100 knots, noticed only at rotation, producing a crabbed liftoff. Root cause is nearly always eyes on the tape instead of the far end of the runway. Small heading changes displace a distant point visibly long before the nearby centreline stripes look wrong.

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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,624 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,624 m of the 3,701 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 530 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 31R at Budapest Liszt Ferenc International Airport (LHBP). The Boeing 737-800 aircraft accelerated down the runway, covering a distance of 1,101 meters, which was 30% of the runway's length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 155 knots, marking the start of its journey.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it encountered local weather conditions of 26°C temperature and a wind speed of 20 knots from a direction of 329°. The crosswind component was 6 knots, while the headwind component was 19 knots. The aircraft climbed from an initial altitude of 1,469 feet above sea level to 2,982 feet, an increase of 1,512 feet in just 1 minute, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles.
After reaching the desired cruising altitude, the aircraft leveled off and began its enroute cruise. This phase of the flight lasted for 5 minutes and covered a distance of 13 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its descent, beginning 1 mile east of Monor, Hungary. The descent from 3,050 feet to 1,709 feet took 2 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached the airport, it began its final approach to runway 31R from the south-east, heading 312.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,242 feet above ground level. The aircraft landed on the runway, which was 3,701 meters long, with a good threshold height. The threshold speed was also good at 144 knots.
The touchdown point was 112 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 135 knots and a smooth touchdown rate of -108 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 6.2 meters. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 24°C temperature and a wind speed of 16 knots from a direction of 330°, with a crosswind component of 5 knots and a headwind component of 16 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,541 meters, which was 42% of the runway's length. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating a smooth and controlled landing. The total flight distance was 26 nautical miles, taking 19 minutes to complete, and the aircraft used 6,010 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at LHBP Budapest Liszt Ferenc International Airport, achieving a high score of 97.5%. The final approach to runway 31R was conducted from the south east, with a heading of 312.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,242 feet above ground level.
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a good threshold height, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 144 knots. The touchdown point was located 112 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The touchdown speed of 135 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate was smooth at -108 feet per minute, indicating a controlled descent.
Despite the minor deviation from the centerline, the runway touchdown position was only slightly misaligned by 6.2 meters. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 24°C and a wind speed of 16 knots from a direction of 330°. The crosswind component was minimal at 5 knots, while the headwind component was 16 knots, which helped to stabilize the aircraft during the landing.
The total landing distance of 1,541 meters was 42% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll. The runway rollout alignment was excellent, demonstrating the pilot's skill and control during the landing phase. Overall, the landing was successful, and the aircraft came to a stop in a controlled and safe manner.
