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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,006 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 390 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with taxiing from the parking area to the runway, which took approximately 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, an MD-83, then departed from runway 13L at Budapest Liszt Ferenc International Airport (LHBP). The takeoff distance was 1,183 meters, which accounted for 32% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 162 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 18°C and a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 200°. The crosswind component was 4 knots, while the headwind component was 2 knots. As the aircraft took off, it began its enroute climb, which started 1 mile north of Vecses, a town in Pest megye, Hungary. The climb from 1,534 feet above sea level to 2,678 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,144 feet, took 1 minute and covered 4 nautical miles.
The enroute descent began overhead Ullo, another town in Pest megye, Hungary. The descent from 2,671 feet above sea level to 1,383 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,288 feet, took 2 minutes and covered 3 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a level cruise, which started 2 miles south of Ullo and lasted for 3 minutes, covering 9 nautical miles.
The enroute descent continued, this time from 1,569 feet above sea level to 988 feet above sea level, a decrease of 581 feet, which took 2 minutes and covered 4 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 13R at LHBP was made from the northwest, heading 139.0° at 3 nautical miles and 530 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 13R was successful, with a touchdown distance of 388 meters, which was good. The touchdown speed was 124 knots, and the touchdown rate was fair at -222 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned by 19.7 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 16°C and a wind speed of 5 knots from a direction of 202°. The crosswind component was 4 knots, while the headwind component was 2 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,275 meters, which accounted for 42% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also misaligned by 19.5 meters from the centerline. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, which took approximately 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 25 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 13 minutes. Notably, the aircraft used 0 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The MD-83 aircraft successfully landed at LHBP Budapest Liszt Ferenc International Airport, with a final approach score of 89.9%. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the north-west, heading 139.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 530 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot maintained a good threshold height and speed, touching down at 128 knots.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's distance was 388 meters, which is considered good. The touchdown speed was also within the acceptable range at 124 knots. However, the touchdown rate was fair at -222 feet per minute (fpm), indicating a slightly steeper descent than ideal. The runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned by 19.7 meters from the centerline, which may have contributed to the subsequent rollout alignment issues.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 16°C and a wind speed of 5 knots from 202°. The crosswind component was 4 knots, while the headwind component was 2 knots. The total landing distance was 1,275 meters, which is 42% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the pilot managed to control the aircraft's descent effectively.
However, the runway rollout alignment was also misaligned by 19.5 meters from the centerline, which may have been a result of the initial touchdown position. This misalignment could have been caused by the pilot's reaction to the initial touchdown position or by the aircraft's response to the wind conditions. Overall, the landing was successful, but there is room for improvement in terms of touchdown position and rollout alignment.
