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.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: five 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.
Side view — the last 1,722 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,722 m of the 3,701 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 688 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 6 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 777-300, then departed from runway 35R at LTFM İstanbul Airport. The takeoff distance was 874 meters, which accounted for 22% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 163 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 7 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 5 knots at 80 degrees. The crosswind component was 5 knots, while the headwind component was 1 knot. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile northwest of LTFM İstanbul Airport Arnavutköy. The climb took 15 minutes and covered a distance of 92 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from 1,345 feet above sea level to 36,296 feet above sea level, an increase of 34,952 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 1 mile northeast of Sarafovo, Bulgaria. This phase lasted for 51 minutes and covered a distance of 378 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 3 miles east of Kondoros, Hungary. The descent took 21 minutes and covered a distance of 82 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from 36,471 feet above sea level to 1,774 feet above sea level, a decrease of 34,697 feet.
The final approach to runway 13L at LHBP Budapest Liszt Ferenc International Airport was made from the northwest, with a heading of 131.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,312 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 13L, which had a length of 3,701 meters. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -10 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 0 knots at 173 degrees. The crosswind component was 0 knots, while the headwind component was 0 knots.
The touchdown point was 274 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 134 knots and a touchdown rate of -198 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the runway rollout alignment was perfect. The total landing distance was 1,643 meters, which accounted for 44% of the runway. The aircraft then taxied to the parking from the runway, which took 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 561 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 96 minutes. The aircraft used 11,542 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 777-300 aircraft successfully landed at LHBP Budapest Liszt Ferenc International Airport, demonstrating a high level of proficiency in its approach and landing procedures. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the north-west, heading 131.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,312 feet above ground level (agl).
The pilot's final approach to runway 13L was executed with precision, achieving a score of 95.9%. The threshold height was good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct altitude as it approached the runway. The threshold speed of 140 knots was also satisfactory, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's speed during the approach.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's performance was impressive. The touchdown point was 274 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively short distance considering the runway's length. The touchdown speed of 134 knots was good, and the touchdown rate of -198 feet per minute (fpm) was also satisfactory, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were challenging, with a temperature of -10°C. However, the wind conditions were favorable, with a calm wind of 0 knots at 173°. This allowed the pilot to maintain a stable approach and landing.
The total landing distance of 1,643 meters was 44% of the runway's length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. This indicates that the pilot was able to manage the aircraft's speed and descent rate effectively, resulting in a smooth and controlled landing.
The runway rollout alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the landing roll. Overall, the Boeing 777-300's landing at LHBP Budapest Liszt Ferenc International Airport was a textbook example of a well-executed approach and landing procedure.
