Track the centreline on final
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.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,524 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 382 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 31L at Budapest Liszt Ferenc International Airport (LHBP). The aircraft, an S22T, accelerated down the runway and lifted off at a speed of 83 kt, covering a distance of 319 m, which was 11% of the runway length. The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 13 °C.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, starting approximately 1 mile northwest of LHBP. The climb was steep, with the aircraft rising from an altitude of 1,710 ft above sea level (asl) to 4,329 ft asl in just 3 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nm. This impressive climb rate allowed the aircraft to quickly gain altitude and establish itself in the local airspace.
After reaching its cruising altitude, the aircraft began its enroute descent, starting approximately 1 mile west of the town of Csomor. The descent was gradual, with the aircraft losing 2,421 ft in altitude over a period of 4 minutes, covering a distance of 8 nm. This controlled descent allowed the aircraft to maintain a safe and stable rate of descent, ensuring a smooth transition to the final approach phase.
The final approach to landing was initiated from a distance of 1 nm, with the aircraft descending from an altitude of 891 ft above ground level (agl) to touch down at a point 1 mile northeast of the town of Pilisvorosvar. The approach was characterized by a steady and controlled descent, with the aircraft losing 50 ft in altitude over a period of just 10 seconds. This precise control allowed the aircraft to touch down at a speed of 64 kt, with a touchdown rate of 247 fpm, which was considered perfect.
The touchdown distance was also satisfactory, with the aircraft coming to rest at a point 379 m from the beginning of the runway. The landing rollout was brief, with the aircraft covering a distance of just 33 m before coming to a stop at an altitude of 789 ft asl. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15 °C.
In total, the flight covered a distance of 19 nm, taking approximately 11 minutes to complete. The aircraft used a total of 13 kg of fuel during the flight, indicating a high level of efficiency and economy. Overall, the flight was characterized by a series of smooth and controlled phases, from takeoff to landing, demonstrating the capabilities of the S22T aircraft.
The aircraft, identified as S22T, successfully completed a landing at a location 1 mile north east of Pilisvorosvar in Pest megye, Hungary. The final approach to the landing site began at an altitude of 891 feet above ground level (agl) and 1 nautical mile from the landing ground, with the aircraft maintaining a steady altitude until it reached 1 nautical mile from the landing site.
As the aircraft approached the touchdown point, it began its descent from 50 feet agl to 0 feet agl, with a notable decrease in altitude of 50 feet in just 10 seconds. This rapid descent suggests that the pilot was able to maintain precise control over the aircraft's altitude, ensuring a smooth and controlled landing.
The aircraft touched down at a speed of 64 knots, which is a relatively slow speed for a landing. However, the touchdown rate of 247 feet per minute (fpm) was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was able to absorb the impact of touchdown without any issues. The touchdown distance of 379 meters was also considered good, suggesting that the pilot was able to maintain control over the aircraft's speed and altitude throughout the landing.
Following touchdown, the aircraft began its landing rollout, during which it maintained an altitude of 789 feet above sea level (asl). The distance covered during the rollout was a relatively short 33 meters, indicating that the pilot was able to bring the aircraft to a stop quickly and safely.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius, which is a relatively mild temperature. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft touching down safely and the pilot maintaining control over the aircraft throughout the landing and rollout phases.
