Improve the rollout
Ground control varies with speed, full authority at walking pace, progressively reducing as groundspeed rises. The aircraft becomes twitchy at any speed, every small pedal input swings the nose, which can encourage large-amplitude leg inputs that no real aircraft would accept.

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 1,944 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,944 m of the 3,006 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 428 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 13 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 31L at Budapest Liszt Ferenc International Airport (LHBP). The takeoff distance was 1,444 meters, which accounted for 48% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 165 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 1 °C and winds of 5 knots at 89 degrees. The crosswind and tailwind components were both 4 knots. After departing from LHBP, the enroute climb began 1 mile west of the airport, where the aircraft climbed from an altitude of 1,512 feet above sea level to 3,300 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,788 feet in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 2 miles east of Budaörs Airfield (LHBS) and lasted for 4 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 13R at LHBP from the northwest, heading at 132.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,268 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway.
The landing on runway 13R was successful, with a touchdown distance of 426 meters and a touchdown speed of 138 knots, both of which were considered good. However, the touchdown rate was fair at -201 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 9.9 meters. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of -2 °C and winds of 5 knots at 90 degrees, with a crosswind component of 4 knots and a headwind component of 4 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,861 meters, which accounted for 62% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned from the centreline by 15.0 meters. The total flight distance was 21 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 20 minutes. The aircraft used 1,044 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at LHBP Budapest Liszt Ferenc International Airport, with a score of 93.9%. The final approach was initiated from the north-west, heading 132.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,268 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft successfully touched down on runway 13R, which has a length of 3,006 meters.
The threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct height as it approached the runway. However, the threshold speed was slightly below the target speed of 144 knots, which may have been due to the aircraft's descent rate or the pilot's decision to flare earlier than expected. The touchdown distance of 426 meters was considered good, and the touchdown speed of 138 knots was also within acceptable limits.
Despite the good touchdown speed, the touchdown rate of -201 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair. This may indicate that the aircraft's descent rate was not perfectly controlled, resulting in a slightly higher-than-desired rate of descent. The runway touchdown position was also slightly misaligned from the centreline by 9.9 meters, which may have been due to the pilot's alignment or the aircraft's drift during the approach.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -2°C and a wind speed of 5 knots from a direction of 90°. The crosswind component was 4 knots, while the headwind component was also 4 knots. These conditions were relatively calm, which may have contributed to the successful landing.
The total landing distance of 1,861 meters was 62% of the runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and the runway's length. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 15.0 meters, which may have been due to the pilot's alignment or the aircraft's drift during the rollout. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with a score of 93.9%, indicating that the pilot and aircraft performed well under the given conditions.
