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 9.1 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Keep the back pressure coming through the flare so the sink does not return at 139 fpm.
What happened: The flare arrested the sink, but then the sink returned before touchdown.
Watch for: Watch the VSI in the flare and keep arrested sink from returning before touchdown at 167 fpm.
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 1,921 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,921 m of the 3,701 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 623 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 31R at Budapest Liszt Ferenc International Airport (LHBP). The Boeing 737-800 aircraft accelerated down the runway, covering a distance of 1,914 meters, which was 52% of the runway's length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 172 knots, marking the start of its ascent.
As the aircraft climbed, it began to gain altitude, rising from 1,468 feet above sea level to 3,365 feet above sea level in less than a minute, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. This rapid ascent was followed by a brief level cruise, lasting 2 minutes and covering 4 nautical miles, before the aircraft began its descent.
The first descent started overhead Maglod, where the aircraft lost 467 feet of altitude in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles. The aircraft then leveled off for another brief period, lasting 3 minutes and covering 4 nautical miles, before beginning its second descent. This descent started 1 mile south of Monor and saw the aircraft lose 910 feet of altitude in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached the airport, it began its final approach to runway 31R from the south-east, flying at a heading of 312.0 degrees and 918 feet above ground level. The aircraft touched down on the runway, with the touchdown point being 207 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was slightly above target at 138 knots, but the touchdown rate was good at -191 feet per minute.
The aircraft's landing distance was 2,030 meters, which was 55% of the runway's length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating a smooth and controlled landing. The total flight distance was 27 nautical miles, and the flight lasted 15 minutes. The aircraft used a total of -2,408 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at LHBP Budapest Liszt Ferenc International Airport, achieving a high score of 97.5%. The final approach to runway 31R was conducted from the south east, with a heading of 312.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 918 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down 207 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is slightly outside the target area. The touchdown speed of 138 knots was a bit faster than the target speed, indicating that the pilots may have needed to apply more braking to bring the aircraft to a stop. However, the touchdown rate of -191 feet per minute (fpm) was considered good, suggesting that the pilots were able to control the descent effectively.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 20°C and a wind speed of 3 knots from a direction of 227°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind component and a headwind of 0 knots, making the landing conditions relatively straightforward.
The total landing distance of 2,030 meters was 55% of the available runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilots were able to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase and bring it to a stop within the designated area.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the pilots demonstrating good control and decision-making skills. However, there is room for improvement in terms of touchdown speed and touchdown point accuracy.
