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 5.4 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Make small rudder corrections against a fixed point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline.
What happened: You drifted off the centreline on the approach.
Watch for: Runway centreline: tracked all the way to the threshold.
See Arrival Approach
A small uncorrected heading error at 40 knots becomes a metre of offset per second by 100 knots, noticed only at rotation, producing a crabbed liftoff. Root cause is nearly always eyes on the tape instead of the far end of the runway. Small heading changes displace a distant point visibly long before the nearby centreline stripes look wrong.

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: centreline 2.2° off, against a 1° limit.

The rest of the report
Departing from Budapest Liszt Ferenc International Airport, the Airbus A320 began its journey on runway 31L, taking off with a distance of 1,463 meters, which accounted for 49% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 145 knots, with a local temperature of 28 degrees Celsius and a wind of 10 knots at 8 degrees. The enroute climb commenced 2 miles east of Kispest, where the aircraft ascended from 1,398 feet above sea level to 37,757 feet, an increase of 36,359 feet in 17 minutes, covering a distance of 108 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise phase started 2 miles east of Myjava, Slovakia, and lasted for 52 minutes, covering 376 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent 2 miles north of Weilmuenster, Germany, and continued to descend to 6,217 feet above sea level, a decrease of 31,458 feet in 23 minutes, covering 132 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, this time starting 1 mile northwest of Kortenaken, Belgium, and lasting for 3 minutes, covering 11 nautical miles. The final descent phase began 1 mile east of Rotselaar, Belgium, and the aircraft descended to 1,938 feet above sea level in 3 minutes, covering 8 nautical miles.
The Airbus A320 then commenced its final approach to runway 25L at Brussels Airport, heading 249.0 degrees at 2 nautical miles and 1,767 feet above ground level. However, a go-around was initiated at 1,385 feet above ground level. The aircraft subsequently landed on runway 25L, with a touchdown point 504 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 122 knots, and the touchdown rate was firm at -315 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 13.2 meters from the centreline, and the runway rollout alignment was misaligned by 17.1 meters from the centreline. The total landing distance was 1,582 meters, accounting for 51% of the runway. The total flight distance was 739 nautical miles, taking 133 minutes, and the aircraft used 3,084 kilograms of fuel.
The final approach to runway 25L at EBBR Brussels Airport was initiated from the east, with the aircraft heading 249.0° at 2 nautical miles and 1,767 feet above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a threshold height of 58 feet above ground level, slightly above the target. The threshold speed was good at 132 knots, indicating a well-executed approach.
As the aircraft touched down on the runway, the touchdown point was 504 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 122 knots, which was within the acceptable range. The touchdown rate was firm at -315 feet per minute, indicating a controlled descent. However, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 13.2 meters from the centreline, which could have been a result of crosswind or pilot error. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 30°C and a headwind of 4 knots, may have also contributed to the slight deviation from the centreline.
The total landing distance was 1,582 meters, which accounted for 51% of the runway length. During the rollout phase, the aircraft remained misaligned from the centreline by 17.1 meters. Despite these minor deviations, the overall landing performance was satisfactory, with a score of 81.3%. The pilots demonstrated good control and management of the aircraft during the approach and touchdown phases, but could have improved their alignment with the centreline during the rollout phase.
