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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 2,409 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,409 m of the 3,701 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
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.
The aircraft in question, an E195, successfully landed at LHBP Budapest Liszt Ferenc International Airport on runway 31R. The final approach was initiated from the south east, heading 299.0° at an altitude of 660 feet above ground level (agl) and 2 nautical miles from the runway. The aircraft maintained a steady course, adhering to the standard approach procedures.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft performed well, with a threshold speed that was significantly above the target speed of 146 knots. This indicates a high degree of control and stability during the landing phase. The touchdown point was located 443 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The touchdown speed of 138 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -80 feet per minute (fpm) was excellent, demonstrating a smooth and controlled descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 4°C and a wind speed of 4 knots from 298°. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 4 knots, which had a minimal impact on the aircraft's performance. The runway length of 3,701 meters was more than sufficient to accommodate the aircraft's landing distance of 2,331 meters, which accounted for 63% of the runway.
The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft maintained a stable and controlled trajectory during the post-landing phase. Overall, the landing was deemed successful, with a score of 92.1%. The pilot's skills and the aircraft's performance were well-coordinated, resulting in a smooth and controlled landing.
