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 4.9 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Make one smooth continuous pitch input through the flare rather than chasing the runway with the elevator.
What happened: The flare was pumped, with pitch reversing direction several times on the way down instead of one smooth input.
Watch for: Watch the pitch attitude trend through the flare, aiming for a single steady rise through 3° with no reversals.
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.

From brake release to the end of the climb, against time, then the takeoff point by point.
Lifted off at 155 kt with 8.2° of pitch.
Two traces from brake release: the airspeed on top, and below it the pitch, which is how far the nose is above the horizon. The figure at liftoff is the pitch then. The shaded stretch is Climb 3, the part of the climb scored on holding the climb speed.
The takeoff, point by point
Side view from the start of the roll to the end of Climb 3 at 959 ft.
Reached 35 ft with 1,844 m of runway left; then climbing at 2,290 fpm on average to 959 ft.
The takeoff from the side: the height above the runway against the distance along it. The numbers along the runway are the speeds reached at each point. Lifting off in the amber last quarter of the runway costs marks for the roll length. The shaded stretch is Climb 3, scored on its average speed against the target.
Plan view the roll down the 3,701 m runway.
Rolled from 87 m in, drifted left of the centreline, 4.6 m at the widest, and lifted off 2.8 m right. Airborne 40 % of the way down the runway, before the 75 % line.
The roll from above, with your left at the top. The line is where the wheels went, and "widest" is the furthest you drifted off the centreline. Lifting off before the amber 75 % line gets full marks for the roll length.
One stabilised approach gate: six 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: wings more than 10° from level and speed more than 21 kt above the approach speed of 140 kt.
When the approach was stable
Every check met from 0.4 nm, about 150 ft above the runway, to the threshold, after the 500 ft gate. The last to settle was the speed.
Each line is one of the gate checks, run along the whole final rather than only at the gates: green where it would have passed, amber where it would not. The glideslope, centreline and speed lines use the bands in the charts beside this card. The sink rate is allowed what the glideslope needs at your ground speed plus 600 fpm, the wings 10° of bank, and the gear and flap are read from when you moved the levers. The bottom line is green where every check held at once, ignoring blips shorter than 0.2 nm, and the sentence above it says from where it held to the threshold. A ring is a stabilisation gate, where the checks in the table were taken.
The final from 4 nm, with the stabilisation gates on it.
Profile height against the 3° glideslope, with its 1° band in green.
Inside the glideslope band from 3.1 nm, where the final began, to the threshold, never more than 150 ft below the slope.
Your height above the runway against the distance still to go. The glideslope is the steady descent path to the aiming point, 305 m past the threshold: 3° here, which is about 320 ft for every nautical mile out, crossing the threshold at about 50 ft. The row under the distances is the height it puts you at. Inside the green band your path is drawn green; outside it, amber. A ring is a stabilisation gate: green when every check there passed, amber with the failed checks named beside it.
Plan distance off the extended centreline, your left at the top, with the 1° band. Sideways distances are drawn 3× larger than distances along the final.
Outside the 1° band twice; furthest 231 m right at 2.4 nm.
Looking down from above, flying left to right towards the runway: up the page is left of the centreline, down is right. Sideways distances are stretched so that small drifts show, so a line that looks wild here may be only a few tens of feet. The labels are how far off you were at each distance, amber when outside the band.
Speed against the approach speed. The green band runs from 5 kt slow to 35 kt fast at the 1,000 ft gate, closing to 21 at 500 ft and 10 at the threshold.
Fast from 3.1 nm, where the final began, to 0.4 nm (up to +57 kt), then inside the band to the threshold.
Your indicated airspeed down the final, against the approach speed for this aircraft at its landing weight. The band allows 5 kt slow and more on the fast side further out, closing as you get lower, because the speed is expected to come off on the way down. The figures are knots above (+) or below (−) the approach speed.
Over the threshold
Touchdown
Very poor landing flare
Little crosswind (1 kt): nothing to correct for. Touched down with the nose 1° left of the track, wings level.
Wind 296° at 4 kt · 4 kt head · 1 kt across
The wind is the one recorded at the landing, split along the runway (headwind or tailwind) and across it. To hold the centreline in a crosswind the nose points a little into wind - the crab - and is straightened with rudder just before the wheels touch, often with the into-wind wing lowered to stop the drift. These are the nose against the direction you were actually moving, and the wings, at the moment of touchdown. Shown for reading; not marked.
From 133 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 55 s, an average deceleration of 0.10 g.
Your ground speed from the moment the wheels touched until you were down to taxi speed, against the distance rolled. A steep line is hard braking, a shallow one a long, gentle roll. For scale, an airliner's lowest autobrake setting decelerates at about 0.15 g, a medium one about 0.3 g. Shown for reading; not marked.
Side view — the last 2,409 m of the approach.
Crossed the threshold at 43 ft, close to the 50 ft target. Touched down 856 m in, 551 m past the ideal 305 m.
The last stretch of the approach and the touchdown, from the side. The height is stretched so that the last few feet show: 80 ft top to bottom, against 2,409 m across. The dashed line is the ideal, 50 ft over the threshold and down 305 m in. The flare ring is where you began raising the nose, and "descent slowed" is where the sink came off; the figures beside them are the sink rate, pitch and speed at that point.
Sink and pitch — through the flare, lined up with the side view.
The sink went from 340 fpm at 43 ft to 200 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 2.9° on the way down.
Lined up with the side view above, so a point on one sits under the same point of the other. On top, how fast you were coming down: 0 is level, and −600 is 600 ft a minute down. Below, the pitch. In a flare the nose comes up and the descent slows towards 0. The figure at the touchdown line is your touchdown rate.
Plan view — the first 2,409 m of the 3,701 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1.6 m right of the centreline, and stayed within 1.8 m of it down the rollout.
The runway from above, with your left at the top. Touching down inside the green bracket scores full marks for the distance. The shaded part is the rollout, up to where it ended. The arrow beside the runway is the crosswind, pointing the way the air was moving, so it pushed the aircraft that way.
Touched down 856 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a quick taxiing process from the parking area to the runway, taking less than a minute and covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, an Embraer E195, then departed from runway 13L at Budapest Liszt Ferenc International Airport (LHBP). The takeoff distance was 1,405 meters, which is 38% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 156 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of 5°C, with a wind speed of 4 knots at a direction of 305°.
As the aircraft climbed, it started its enroute climb overhead Vecses, a town in Pest megye, Hungary. The climb began at an altitude of 1,481 feet above sea level and increased to 3,087 feet, a rise of 1,607 feet in just 1 minute, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise then started overhead Ullo, another town in Pest megye, Hungary, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles.
The enroute descent began 3 miles west of Nyaregyhaza, a town in Pest megye, Hungary. The descent started at an altitude of 2,881 feet above sea level and decreased to 1,114 feet, a drop of 1,767 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 8 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 31R at LHBP was made from the southeast, heading 299.0° at a distance of 2 nautical miles and an altitude of 660 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 31R was successful, with a runway length of 3,701 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was well above the target at 146 knots. The touchdown point was 443 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 138 knots, which was good. The touchdown rate was excellent at -80 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 4°C, with a wind speed of 4 knots at a direction of 298°.
The total landing distance was 2,331 meters, which is 63% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating a smooth and controlled landing. The total flight distance was 23 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 10 minutes. The aircraft used 477 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
