MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Use smoother, smaller aileron inputs to keep the wings level and hold bank angle near wings-level during the climb.
What happened: During the climb, bank angle rose to 5.9°, more roll than the climb out called for.
Watch for: Attitude indicator: wings level during the climb
Arrival
Lower the gear before the stabilisation gate, completing the landing checklist well ahead of final approach.
What happened: On final approach, the gear was not down in time for landing.
Watch for: Gear indicator: three greens confirmed before the gate
See Arrival Final 1
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: seven 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.
At the 500 ft gate: gear still up, off the runway's 3° glideslope, off the centreline and speed above the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
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.
Touched down 521 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Budapest Liszt Ferenc International Airport, the Airbus A321 began its takeoff roll on runway 13L. The aircraft accelerated to a liftoff speed of 164 kt, clearing the ground after a takeoff distance of 836 m, which represented 23% of the available runway length. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 18 °C, with a wind blowing at 18 kt from a direction of 140°, resulting in a headwind component of 18 kt.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it transitioned into an enroute climb, ascending from 846 ft above sea level to 1,444 ft above sea level over a distance of 4 nm in just 1 minute. This rapid ascent was followed by a level cruise phase, which lasted for 6 minutes and covered a distance of 26 nm. The aircraft then began its final approach to landing, descending from 40 ft above ground level to touch down on the runway. The touchdown speed of 125 kt was slightly above the recommended value, but the touchdown rate of -299 fpm was considered fair. The touchdown point was located 109 m beyond the designated touchdown zone.
Following a landing rollout of 333 m, the aircraft came to a stop at an altitude of 714 ft above sea level. Taxiing to the parking area took less than 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nm. The total flight distance of 32 nm was completed in 9 minutes, with the aircraft consuming -8,802 kg of fuel. The local weather conditions at the time of landing featured a temperature of 16 °C, with a wind blowing at 15 kt from a direction of 137°, resulting in a tailwind component of 15 kt.
The final approach to landing on ground 3 miles west of Jobbagyi, Nograd megye, Hungary, was conducted from 1 nm to 1 nm at a glide slope of -5 ft agl. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a smooth and controlled descent from 40 ft agl to 0 ft agl, a decrease of 40 ft in 6 seconds. This indicates a well-executed flare, with a consistent rate of descent.
Touchdown occurred 3 miles west of Jobbagyi, with a speed of 125 kt, which was slightly above the recommended threshold speed. However, the touchdown rate of -299 fpm was fair, indicating a relatively smooth touchdown. The touchdown point was 109 m beyond the touchdown zone, which may have been due to the slight tailwind of 15 kt. Local weather conditions, with a temperature of 16 °C and a wind of 15 kt at 137 °, contributed to the approach and landing.
The landing rollout was conducted on ground 3 miles west of Jobbagyi, with an altitude of 714 ft asl. The distance covered during rollout was 333 m, which was within acceptable limits. Overall, the landing performance scored 72.4%, indicating a good but not exceptional execution of the approach and landing.
