Arrival
Add power sooner on final to hold 147 kt by the stabilisation gate, not just at the threshold.
What happened: The approach was slow at the stabilisation gate, and the aircraft carried that deficit all the way to the threshold, still 13 kt below VREF; arriving that slow usually leaves little energy to cushion the flare, as it did here with a touchdown rate of 271 fpm.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 147 kt at the threshold
The rudder input is a changing profile through the roll rather than one that is held. So the demand on your right foot starts large at power application, eases as speed builds and the rudder gains authority, then jumps again at rotation.

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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
At the 1,000 ft gate: speed 14 kt SLOW on the reference speed of 147 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
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 827 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Budapest Liszt Ferenc International Airport (LHBP) took approximately 2 minutes, covering less than 1 nautical mile. The Boeing 737-800 then began its departure roll on runway 13L, utilizing 45% of the 3,701-meter runway to achieve liftoff at a speed of 168 knots. Local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 24°C, with a 5-knot wind blowing from a direction of 55°, resulting in a 5-knot crosswind and a 1-knot headwind.
The enroute level cruise phase commenced overhead Vecses, Hungary, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 8 nautical miles. This was followed by a descent phase initiated 1 mile south of Monor, during which the aircraft descended from 3,585 feet above sea level to 2,985 feet, a decrease of 601 feet over a distance of 7 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise phase resumed overhead Danszentmiklos, lasting for another 2 minutes and covering 6 nautical miles. The final descent phase began 2 miles northeast of Ujhartyan, with the aircraft descending from 2,996 feet to 1,682 feet, a decrease of 1,314 feet over a distance of 9 nautical miles. The aircraft then commenced its final approach to runway 31R at LHBP, heading 314.0° from a distance of 4 nautical miles and 1,221 feet above ground level.
The Boeing 737-800 landed on runway 31R, which was 3,701 meters in length. The threshold height was slightly above the target, while the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 134 knots. The touchdown point was 408 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 126 knots and an excellent touchdown rate of -92 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 3.3 meters. Local weather conditions at the time of landing featured a temperature of 25°C, with a 5-knot wind blowing from a direction of 105°, resulting in a 2-knot crosswind and a 5-knot tailwind. The total flight distance was 35 nautical miles, with a flight time of 15 minutes and a fuel consumption of 3,136 kilograms.
The Boeing 737-800 touched down on runway 31R at LHBP Budapest Liszt Ferenc International Airport with a score of 91.8%. The aircraft's approach to the runway from the south east, heading 314.0° at 4 nm and 1,221 ft agl, was characterized by a slightly above-target threshold height of 56 ft agl. However, the threshold speed of 134 kt was slightly below the target, indicating a slight deceleration during the final stages of the approach.
The aircraft made a good touchdown at 126 kt, with a touchdown rate of -92 fpm, which was excellent. However, the touchdown point was 408 m beyond the touchdown zone, indicating a slight over-run. The runway touchdown position was also slightly misaligned by 3.3 m from the centreline, which may have been due to the slight crosswind of 2 kt and tailwind of 5 kt. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 25 °C and wind at 5 kt at 105°, did not appear to have a significant impact on the landing.
The overall performance of the aircraft during the landing was satisfactory, with the exception of the slightly above-target threshold height and the over-run. The good touchdown speed and excellent touchdown rate were notable positives. However, the slight misalignment of the runway touchdown position and the over-run may require further attention to ensure optimal performance during future landings.
