Improve the rollout
Ground control varies with speed, full authority at walking pace, progressively reducing as groundspeed rises. The aircraft becomes twitchy at any speed, every small pedal input swings the nose, which can encourage large-amplitude leg inputs that no real aircraft would accept.

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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,946 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 318 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 15 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, an Airbus A321, departed from runway 13L at Budapest Liszt Ferenc International Airport (LHBP). The takeoff distance was 1,575 meters, which is 43% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 158 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 11 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 8 knots from a direction of 130 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 0 knots and a headwind of 8 knots. The aircraft began its enroute climb 1 mile north of Vecses, Hungary, and ascended from an altitude of 1,436 feet above sea level to 13,625 feet above sea level, an increase of 12,189 feet, in just 6 minutes and covering a distance of 17 nautical miles.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 1 mile northeast of Kiskunlachaza, Hungary, and lasted for 7 minutes, covering a distance of 37 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent 1 mile north of Bokod, Hungary, and descended from an altitude of 13,598 feet above sea level to 2,387 feet above sea level, a decrease of 11,211 feet, in 10 minutes and covering a distance of 44 nautical miles.
The aircraft entered another level cruise phase, this time starting 3 miles east of Kvetoslavov, Slovakia, and lasting for 3 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 31 at M. R. Štefánik Airport (LZIB) was made from the southeast, heading 314.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,271 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway.
The landing on runway 31 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 318 meters, which is 34% of the runway length. The threshold speed was good at 139 knots, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 134 knots. The touchdown rate was fair at -243 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 11.8 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 7 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 360 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 3 knots.
The total landing distance was 990 meters, and the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 10.4 meters from the centerline. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 5 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 114 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 40 minutes. The aircraft used 1,743 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A321 aircraft successfully landed at LZIB M. R. Štefánik Airport, achieving a score of 95.5%. The final approach to runway 31 was conducted from the south east, with a heading of 314.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,271 feet above ground level.
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a good threshold height, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 139 knots. However, the touchdown speed of 134 knots was slightly faster than expected, which may have contributed to a fair touchdown rate of -243 feet per minute. The touchdown distance of 318 meters was within acceptable limits.
Despite the good overall performance, there were some minor issues with the landing. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 11.8 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the aircraft's approach path. Additionally, the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 10.4 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 7°C and a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 360°. The crosswind and headwind components were both 3 knots, which suggests that the aircraft was not significantly affected by wind during the landing.
Overall, the Airbus A321 aircraft demonstrated a high level of proficiency during the landing, with a good score of 95.5%. However, there were some minor issues with alignment and touchdown speed that will need to be addressed in future training exercises.
