Work on the flare
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.
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 2,032 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,032 m of the 3,701 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 613 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 31R at Budapest Liszt Ferenc International Airport. The aircraft, an Embraer E195, accelerated down the runway, covering a distance of 130 meters, which accounted for only 4% of the runway's total length. The liftoff speed was reached at 135 knots, marking the start of the takeoff phase.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it encountered local weather conditions of 20 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 6 knots from a direction of 269 degrees. The crosswind component was 4 knots, while the headwind component was also 4 knots. The enroute climb began approximately 1 mile northwest of the airport, where the aircraft lifted off from an altitude of 1,491 feet above sea level. Over the next 2 minutes, the aircraft climbed to an altitude of 2,712 feet, an increase of 1,221 feet, while covering a distance of 3 nautical miles.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 1 mile south of Nagytarcsa. During this phase, the aircraft maintained a steady altitude for 4 minutes, covering a distance of 8 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 31R at Budapest Liszt Ferenc International Airport began from the southeast, with the aircraft heading towards the runway at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,336 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 31R, which had a length of 3,701 meters, was slightly above target in terms of threshold height and speed. The touchdown point was 194 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 129 knots, which was a little fast. However, the touchdown rate was good at -165 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 3.6 meters.
The total landing distance was 1,948 meters, accounting for 53% of the runway's length. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The total flight distance was 17 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 16 minutes. The aircraft used 480 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The aircraft in question, an E195, successfully landed at LHBP Budapest Liszt Ferenc International Airport on runway 31R. The final approach was initiated from the south east, heading 311.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,336 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's performance during the landing was evaluated, and it scored 96.1%.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down 194 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is slightly off-target. The touchdown speed of 129 knots was a bit faster than the target speed, indicating that the pilot may have needed to apply more braking force to slow down the aircraft. However, the touchdown rate of -165 feet per minute (fpm) was considered good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 20°C and a gentle wind of 6 knots from 269°. The crosswind component was 4 knots, while the headwind component was also 4 knots, resulting in a relatively calm and stable environment for the landing.
The runway length at LHBP Budapest Liszt Ferenc International Airport is 3,701 meters, which is more than sufficient to accommodate the E195's landing distance of 1,948 meters, or 53% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was deemed very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase and successfully aligned the aircraft with the centerline.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft scoring 96.1% on its performance. However, there were some minor deviations from the target parameters, including a slightly off-target touchdown point and a slightly faster touchdown speed.
