Twenty knots on a monitor produces the visual sensation of about ten. The advice to "taxi at a walking pace" cannot fix this, because your sense of walking pace is exactly the thing that's broken. Put the groundspeed readout in your scan and obey it for the next fifty flights, the way a student pilot leans on the airspeed indicator before learning to read attitude.

Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,006 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 192 m touchdown sits inside 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 approximately 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Cessna 208B, then departed from runway 11 at LRTR Timişoara Traian Vuia Airport. The takeoff distance was 844 meters, which accounted for 24% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 79 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 16°C, with a wind speed of 1 knot at 270°. There was no crosswind, but a tailwind of 1 knot was present. The aircraft began its enroute climb 1 mile north of Remetea Mare, in Timis, Romania, and ascended from 1,300 feet above sea level to 7,370 feet above sea level, an increase of 6,070 feet in 5 minutes, covering a distance of 13 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 2 miles southwest of Bogda, in Timis, Romania, and lasted for 50 minutes, covering a distance of 148 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent 1 mile east of Nagytarcsa, in Pest megye, Hungary, and descended from 7,607 feet above sea level to 5,251 feet above sea level, a decrease of 2,356 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 1 mile southwest of Mogyorod, in Pest megye, Hungary, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent overhead Dunakeszi, in Pest megye, Hungary, and descended from 5,004 feet above sea level to 4,058 feet above sea level, a decrease of 946 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started overhead Pomaz, in Pest megye, Hungary, and lasted for 3 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent 1 mile west of Angyalfoeld, in Budapest, Hungary, and descended from 3,566 feet above sea level to 1,847 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,720 feet in 4 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 13R at LHBP Budapest Liszt Ferenc International Airport was made from the northwest, heading 132.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,391 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 13R was successful, with a touchdown distance of 190 meters and a touchdown speed of 62 knots. The touchdown rate was firm at -392 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15°C, with a wind speed of 1 knot at 270°. There was a crosswind of 1 knot, but a tailwind of 1 knot was also present. The total landing distance was 1,371 meters, which accounted for 46% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took approximately 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 194 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 78 minutes. The aircraft used 278 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Cessna 208B aircraft successfully landed at Budapest Liszt Ferenc International Airport (LHBP) on runway 13R. The final approach was executed from the north-west, heading 132.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,391 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft demonstrated a high level of proficiency in its approach, achieving a score of 98.2%.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 64 knots, which was within the acceptable threshold speed. The touchdown distance of 190 meters was also satisfactory, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown speed of 62 knots was within the desired range, and the touchdown rate of -392 feet per minute (fpm) was firm but not excessive.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from 270°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind and tailwind component, making the landing even more challenging and impressive. The aircraft's ability to maintain perfect runway touchdown alignment and rollout alignment further highlights its exceptional piloting skills.
The total landing distance of 1,371 meters was 46% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. This achievement demonstrates the pilot's expertise in controlling the aircraft's descent and touchdown, as well as their ability to navigate the aircraft to a precise location on the runway.
Overall, the Cessna 208B's landing at LHBP was a textbook example of precision flying, with the pilot executing a flawless approach and touchdown. The aircraft's performance and the pilot's skills were on full display, making this landing a notable achievement in aviation.
