MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Arrival
Fly the flare as one continuous check of the sink rate from 14 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 14 ft down to touchdown.
Watch for: Watch radio altitude and VSI through the flare, aiming to arrest the sink smoothly from 14 ft to touchdown.
See Arrival Landing
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.
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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,006 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 554 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the departure roll from runway 31R at LHBP Budapest Liszt Ferenc International Airport. The Airbus A320 took off with a takeoff distance of 1,695 meters, which is 46% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 155 knots. At the time of departure, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 18 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 1 knot at 270 degrees, resulting in a negligible crosswind and headwind.
As the aircraft climbed out of the airport, it began its enroute climb 1 mile northwest of LHBP. The climb started from an altitude of 1,482 feet above sea level and reached 3,293 feet in just 1 minute, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles. This rapid ascent was followed by a brief enroute level cruise 1 mile east of Kobanya, which lasted for 2 minutes and covered 7 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began its descent 1 mile southeast of Urom, reducing its altitude from 3,791 feet to 3,063 feet in 2 minutes, while covering 6 nautical miles. This descent was followed by another enroute level cruise 1 mile north of Pilisvorosvar, which lasted for 2 minutes and covered 5 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began another climb 2 miles northwest of Pilisszentkereszt, increasing its altitude from 3,510 feet to 4,016 feet in 2 minutes, while covering 5 nautical miles. This climb was followed by an enroute level cruise overhead Csobanka, which lasted for 2 minutes and covered 6 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began its final descent 1 mile south of Urom, reducing its altitude from 3,799 feet to 1,729 feet in 2 minutes, while covering 7 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 13R at LHBP was made from the northwest, heading 132.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,267 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 13R was successful, with a touchdown point 143 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was a little fast at 134 knots, but the touchdown rate was good at -195 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.5 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 5 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 3 knots at 357 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 2 knots and a tailwind of 2 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,705 meters, which is 57% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The total flight distance was 45 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 16 minutes. The aircraft used a total of -6,547 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at LHBP Budapest Liszt Ferenc International Airport, achieving a high score of 98.4%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north-west, heading 132.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,267 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with precision, and the aircraft landed on runway 13R, which has a length of 3,006 meters.
The threshold height was good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct altitude as it approached the runway. The threshold speed was also satisfactory at 139 knots, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's speed during the landing phase. However, the touchdown point was slightly beyond the designated touchdown zone, located 143 meters down the runway.
The touchdown speed of 134 knots was a bit faster than ideal, which may have contributed to the slightly longer landing distance. Nevertheless, the touchdown rate of -195 feet per minute (fpm) was good, indicating a controlled descent. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.5 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a minor deviation in the pilot's alignment during the landing phase.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 5°C and a wind speed of 3 knots from 357°. The crosswind and tailwind components were both 2 knots, which had a minimal impact on the landing. The total landing distance of 1,705 meters was 57% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight.
The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the post-landing phase. Overall, the landing was executed with precision, and the aircraft came to a stop in a safe and controlled manner.
