Keep the taxi smooth
Turn speed is limited by lateral load on the tyres and the people in the back, and lateral acceleration goes with the square of speed. On an illustrative 25 m turn radius, 10 kt produces about 0.11 g of side load, while 20 kt produces about 0.43 g. Doubling the speed quadruples the load. That square law is the entire content of the "10 knots in turns" rule, and it tells you why a slightly-too-fast turn feels fine and a moderately-too-fast one throws the cabin crew across the galley.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with five checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,701 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 484 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a quick taxi from the parking area to the runway, taking less than a minute and covering a distance of less than a nautical mile. The Boeing 727-200 then departed from runway 31R at Budapest Liszt Ferenc International Airport, with a takeoff distance of 613 meters, which was 17% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 138 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of the airport, it encountered local weather conditions of 17°C temperature and a wind speed of 34 knots from a direction of 300°. The crosswind component was 7 knots, while the headwind component was 33 knots. The enroute climb started overhead the airport, with the aircraft ascending from 1,474 feet above sea level to 6,605 feet above sea level, an increase of 5,130 feet in just 3 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles.
After reaching the cruising altitude, the aircraft began its descent from 6,289 feet above sea level to 2,971 feet above sea level, a decrease of 3,318 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 8 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise started overhead Pilis, lasting 6 minutes and covering 9 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 31R was made from the southeast, heading 313.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,259 feet above ground level. The landing was made on the runway, with a threshold speed of 116 knots and a touchdown speed of 108 knots. The touchdown point was 53 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown rate was good at -197 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 9.5 meters, and the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 9.0 meters from the centerline. The total landing distance was 938 meters, which was 25% of the runway length. The local weather conditions during landing were 16°C temperature and a wind speed of 38 knots from a direction of 293°, with a crosswind component of 13 knots and a headwind component of 36 knots.
The total flight distance was 27 nautical miles, taking 15 minutes, and the aircraft used 2,286 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 727-200 aircraft successfully landed at Budapest Liszt Ferenc International Airport (LHBP) on runway 31R. The final approach was initiated from the south east, heading 313.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,259 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft demonstrated a high level of proficiency in its approach, achieving a score of 94.4%.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down at a speed of 108 knots, which was within the acceptable threshold speed of 116 knots. The touchdown point was located 53 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, but this was not considered a significant deviation. The aircraft's descent rate was also within the acceptable range, at -197 feet per minute.
However, there were some minor issues with the landing. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 9.5 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the aircraft's alignment during the approach. Additionally, the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 9.0 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were moderate, with a temperature of 16°C and a wind speed of 38 knots from 293°. This resulted in a crosswind of 13 knots and a headwind of 36 knots, which may have affected the aircraft's alignment during the approach and landing.
Despite these minor issues, the total landing distance of 938 meters was only 25% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft was able to land safely and efficiently. Overall, the landing was considered successful, and the aircraft demonstrated a high level of proficiency in its approach and landing.
