MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Arrival
Fly a steeper descent on final so you cross the threshold at 50 ft agl instead of 50 ft agl.
What happened: The aircraft crossed the threshold at 50 ft agl against a 50 ft agl target, well above the normal profile. The touchdown point was also long at 680 m against a 457 m target, a pattern often seen after high threshold crossings.
Watch for: Radio altimeter against the 50 ft threshold crossing target on short final.
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.

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. These checks are the approach's score.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,623 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,623 m of the 3,742 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 680 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, the Airbus A320 began its takeoff roll on runway 31R. The aircraft accelerated down the 3,701-meter-long runway, eventually lifting off at a speed of 150 kt after covering 47% of the available distance, which was 1,754 meters. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 17 °C and a light wind of 1 kt from 270°, resulting in a negligible crosswind and headwind component.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb 1 mile northwest of the departure point, reaching an altitude of 3,015 ft asl after a 2-minute climb that covered 7 nm. The aircraft then leveled off for a brief period, before resuming its climb and eventually entering a series of enroute level cruises. The final descent began overhead Maglod, with the aircraft losing 453 ft in altitude over a 2-minute period as it covered 5 nm. The aircraft then leveled off again, this time for a 3-minute period, before commencing its final approach to runway 31R.
The Airbus A320 touched down on the runway 300 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 126 kt that was slightly above the target value. The touchdown rate was good, at -191 fpm, and the runway rollout alignment was very good. The aircraft taxied to the parking area from the runway in 8 minutes, covering a distance of 2 nm. The total flight distance was 49 nm, and the aircraft used 1,116 kg of fuel during the flight, which lasted 20 minutes.
The final approach to runway 31R at LHBP Budapest Liszt Ferenc International Airport was conducted from the south east, aligning with the heading of 313.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,407 feet above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a threshold height of 61 feet above ground level, which was above the target. The threshold speed was good, achieved at 136 knots, indicating a well-executed approach.
The aircraft touched down 300 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 126 knots, which was a little fast. However, the touchdown rate of -191 feet per minute was good, indicating a controlled descent. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.4 meters from the centreline, which may have been due to a slight deviation during the approach. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 16°C and a light wind of 1 knot from 269°, resulting in a negligible crosswind and headwind.
The total landing distance of 1,688 meters was 46% of the runway length, which is within the acceptable range. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating a smooth and controlled deceleration after touchdown. Overall, the landing was satisfactory, with a score of 90.5%, indicating a well-executed approach and touchdown, but with some room for improvement in terms of touchdown speed and alignment.
