Work on the flare
Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without it.

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 first 1,524 m of the 3,701 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 507 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took approximately 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-700, then departed from runway 22L at EBLG Liège Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,017 meters, which is 33% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 148 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of 18°C, with a wind speed of 10 knots at 219°.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead EBLG Liège Airport in Grâce-Hollogne, Wallonia, Belgium. The climb took the aircraft from an altitude of 1,691 feet above sea level to 38,922 feet above sea level, an increase of 37,231 feet, in 35 minutes and covering a distance of 221 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise phase of the flight began 2 miles west of Weismain, Bavaria, Germany, and lasted for 45 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 268 nautical miles. Following this, the enroute descent phase started 5 miles southwest of Vrbove, Trnava, Slovakia, and took the aircraft from an altitude of 39,110 feet above sea level to 1,718 feet above sea level, a decrease of 37,392 feet, in 17 minutes and covering a distance of 99 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 31R at LHBP Budapest Liszt Ferenc International Airport was made from the southeast, heading 312.0°, at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,252 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 31R, which has a length of 3,701 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed at 140 knots.
The touchdown point was 89 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 131 knots, which was a little fast. However, the touchdown rate was good at -165 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.1 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 23°C, with a wind speed of 4 knots at 319°.
The total landing distance was 1,039 meters, which is 28% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took approximately 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 595 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 91 minutes, during which the aircraft used 4,311 kilograms of fuel.
The Boeing 737-700 aircraft successfully landed at LHBP Budapest Liszt Ferenc International Airport, achieving a high score of 99.3%. 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 1,252 feet above ground level.
The aircraft touched down on the runway, with the threshold height being satisfactory. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 140 knots. The touchdown point was located 89 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, indicating a slight deviation from the intended landing spot. The touchdown speed of 131 knots was also a bit faster than desired, but the touchdown rate of -165 feet per minute was considered good.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 3.1 meters, which may have been due to factors such as wind or pilot error. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 23°C and a gentle wind of 4 knots from a direction of 319°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 4 knots, which helped to stabilize the aircraft during the landing.
The total landing distance of 1,039 meters was 28% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, with the aircraft maintaining a straight course after touchdown. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft coming to a stop in a controlled and safe manner.
