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 6.3 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Keep increasing back pressure smoothly after the sink arrests at 15 ft, holding that attitude firmly all the way to touchdown.
What happened: The flare arrested the sink at 15 ft, but 122 fpm of sink came back before touchdown, and sink returning like this usually carries through into a bounce at touchdown.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: steady, continuously decreasing sink held through the flare and into touchdown.
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.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 2,290 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,290 m of the 3,006 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,037 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Budapest Liszt Ferenc International Airport (LHBP) on runway 13L, the Airbus A321 began its takeoff roll, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 171 kt. The aircraft utilized 60% of the available runway length, covering a distance of 2,235 m before lifting off into the air. Local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 10 °C and a negligible headwind, with a slight crosswind component of 1 kt from the north.
As the aircraft transitioned into the enroute climb phase, it began ascending from an initial altitude of 1,432 ft above sea level to 3,004 ft, a vertical gain of 1,573 ft over a period of 2 minutes. This climb phase was initiated approximately 1 mile east of Vecses, and the aircraft continued to climb for a further 3 miles south west of Monor before leveling off into a steady cruise. The enroute level cruise phase lasted for 8 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 30 nm. Following the cruise phase, the aircraft began its final approach to runway 13R at LHBP, descending from an altitude of 1,321 ft above ground level.
The Airbus A321 touched down on runway 13R at a speed of 134 kt, with a touchdown rate of -186 fpm. The touchdown point was located 624 m beyond the designated touchdown zone, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 10.2 m. The total landing distance covered 74% of the available runway length, measuring 2,213 m. Following touchdown, the aircraft underwent a rollout, during which it remained slightly misaligned from the centreline by 12.8 m. The flight utilized a total of 45 nm of distance, consuming 8,803 kg of fuel in the process, and lasted for 13 minutes.
The aircraft touched down on runway 13R at LHBP Budapest Liszt Ferenc International Airport, demonstrating a good threshold height and speed of 146 kt. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a heading of 132.0° from the north west at 4 nm and 1,321 ft above ground level. The touchdown point was 624 m beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 134 kt, which was within acceptable limits. The touchdown rate of -186 fpm was also good, indicating a controlled descent.
However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 10.2 m, and the runway rollout alignment was also off-centre by 12.8 m. Despite these minor deviations, the overall landing distance of 2,213 m was within 74% of the runway length, indicating a safe and controlled rollout. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 7 °C and a light wind of 2 kt at 51°, did not appear to have a significant impact on the landing.
The performance of the aircraft was evaluated as 84.1%, reflecting the satisfactory approach quality, good threshold speed and height, and controlled touchdown characteristics. However, the minor misalignments during the rollout phase detracted from the overall score. Overall, the landing was considered safe and controlled, with opportunities for improvement in terms of centreline alignment during the rollout phase.
