MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.
What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 5.7 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Fly the flare as one continuous check of the sink rate from 30 ft, holding back pressure steadily rather than adjusting pitch piecemeal.
What happened: The flare drifted away from its intended profile rather than tracking it smoothly from 30 ft down to touchdown.
Watch for: Watch radio altitude and VSI through the flare, aiming to arrest the sink smoothly from 30 ft to touchdown.
See Arrival Landing
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.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
At the 1,000 ft gate: speed above the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 2,020 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,020 m of the 3,006 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 738 m past the threshold — beyond 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 737-800 then departed from runway 31R at Budapest Liszt Ferenc International Airport, with a takeoff distance of 1,499 meters, which was 41% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 160 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of the airport, it encountered local weather conditions of 18°C temperature and a wind speed of 1 knot from 270 degrees. The crosswind and headwind were both 1 knot, resulting in a relatively calm environment. The enroute climb started 2 miles northwest of the airport, where the aircraft climbed from 1,467 feet above sea level to 1,614 feet, an increase of 147 feet in less than a minute and covering a distance of less than a nautical mile.
The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, starting 2 miles east of Kobanya, which lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 6 nautical miles. This was followed by another climb phase, starting 1 mile northeast of Angyalfoeld, where the aircraft climbed from 1,535 feet to 2,951 feet, an increase of 1,416 feet in 2 minutes and covering a distance of 5 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, starting 1 mile northeast of Budakalasz, which lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. However, this was followed by a descent phase, starting 1 mile northeast of Angyalfoeld, where the aircraft descended from 3,016 feet to 1,559 feet, a decrease of 1,458 feet in 2 minutes and covering a distance of 5 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 13R at Budapest Liszt Ferenc International Airport was made from the northwest, heading 134.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,092 feet above ground level. The landing was made on the runway, which had a length of 3,006 meters. The threshold height was slightly above the target, but the threshold speed was good at 153 knots.
The touchdown point was 328 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 142 knots, which was good. However, the touchdown rate was fair at -232 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.2 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 15°C temperature and a wind speed of 1 knot from 270 degrees, with a crosswind of 1 knot and a tailwind of 1 knot.
The total landing distance was 1,946 meters, which was 65% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The total flight distance was 29 nautical miles, taking 10 minutes, and the aircraft used 797 kilograms of fuel.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at LHBP Budapest Liszt Ferenc International Airport, with a score of 90.6%. The final approach to runway 13R was initiated from the north-west, heading 134.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,092 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft touched down on the runway, with a threshold height slightly above the target at 60 feet agl. However, the threshold speed was good, reaching 153 knots. The touchdown point was 328 meters beyond the touchdown zone, indicating a slight deviation from the intended landing spot. The touchdown speed of 142 knots was within the acceptable range, but the touchdown rate of -232 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from 270°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind and tailwind component, making the landing conditions favorable. The total landing distance of 1,946 meters was 65% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight.
Despite the slight deviations from the ideal landing parameters, the runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft's brakes and control surfaces were functioning properly. Overall, the landing was successful, but there is room for improvement in terms of touchdown rate and touchdown zone accuracy.
