Flight Score
Departure
Raise the gear lever promptly once a positive climb is confirmed, before reaching the target retraction height.
What happened: Gear retraction was delayed, with the gear not coming up until 790 ft agl.
Watch for: Landing gear: up by the normal retraction gate
Arrival
Make small rudder corrections against a fixed point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline.
What happened: You drifted off the centreline on the approach.
Watch for: Runway centreline: tracked all the way to the threshold.
See Arrival Approach
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: 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 3,742 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 561 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing Budapest Liszt Ferenc International Airport (LHBP) on runway 31R, the Airbus A320 initiated its takeoff roll, covering 931 meters, or 25% of the 3,695-meter runway, before lifting off at a speed of 155 knots. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 26°C and a wind of 19 knots from 230°, resulted in a crosswind of 18 knots and a headwind of 2 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of LHBP, it transitioned into an enroute climb, reaching an altitude of 3,712 feet above sea level (asl) from an initial altitude of 1,490 feet asl in just 1 minute, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles. Following a brief level cruise 2 miles south of Nagytarcsa, the aircraft began its enroute descent from 3,504 feet asl to 1,285 feet asl, a decrease of 2,219 feet in 3 minutes, covering 7 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 31R was initiated from the southeast, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 305.0° at 2 nautical miles and 830 feet above ground level (agl).
The landing on runway 31R was completed with a touchdown point 162 meters beyond the touchdown zone, at a speed of 114 knots, which was slightly faster than desired. The touchdown rate of -162 feet per minute was within acceptable limits. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.9 meters from the centerline. The total landing distance of 1,406 meters, or 38% of the runway, was within the expected range. Following the landing, the aircraft rolled out, with the runway rollout alignment slightly misaligned by 14.6 meters from the centerline. The total flight distance was 26 nautical miles, taking approximately 10 minutes, and the aircraft consumed 462 kilograms of fuel.
The final approach to runway 31R at LHBP Budapest Liszt Ferenc International Airport was initiated from the south east, heading 305.0° at 2 nm and 830 ft above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a threshold height at 64 ft agl that was above the target. The threshold speed was good at 119 kt, indicating a well-executed approach.
The aircraft touched down 162 m beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 114 kt, which was a little fast. However, the touchdown rate of -162 fpm was good, indicating a controlled descent. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.9 m from the centreline, which was a minor deviation. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 23 °C and wind at 21 kt from 237°, resulted in a crosswind of 20 kt and a headwind of 5 kt.
The total landing distance of 1,406 m was 38% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 14.6 m from the centreline, which was a minor deviation. Overall, the landing was satisfactory, with a score of 86.3%.
