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.

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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,585 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,585 m of the 3,006 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 585 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a quick taxiing process from the parking area to the runway, taking less than a minute and covering a distance of less than a nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-MAX8, then departed from runway 13L at Budapest Liszt Ferenc International Airport (LHBP). The takeoff distance was 1,605 meters, which is 43% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 170 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 22°C, with a wind speed of 6 knots coming from a direction of 109°. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 5 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead the town of Vecses in Hungary. During this climb, the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 1,486 feet above sea level to 3,249 feet, an increase of 1,763 feet in just 1 minute, while covering a distance of 2 nautical miles.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started overhead the town of Ullo in Hungary and lasted for 2 minutes. During this period, the aircraft covered a distance of 6 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting 1 mile north of the town of Mende in Hungary. The descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 3,622 feet above sea level to 3,070 feet, a decrease of 553 feet in 2 minutes, while covering a distance of 6 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 1 mile south of Gödöllő Airfield in Hungary and lasted for 3 minutes. During this period, the aircraft covered a distance of 9 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 1 mile northeast of the town of Angyalfoeld in Hungary. The descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 2,799 feet above sea level to 1,735 feet, a decrease of 1,065 feet in 2 minutes, while covering a distance of 5 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 13R at LHBP was made from the northwest, with the aircraft heading 132.0° at an altitude of 1,278 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was made on the runway, which had a length of 3,006 meters. The threshold height at 61 feet above ground level was above the target, while the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 140 knots.
The touchdown point was 171 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 132 knots and a touchdown rate of -258 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 4.2 meters. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 19°C, with a wind speed of 5 knots coming from a direction of 91°. This resulted in a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 4 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,507 meters, which is 50% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing process from the runway to the parking area took 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 34 nautical miles, taking 17 minutes, and the aircraft used -2 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-MAX8 aircraft successfully landed at LHBP Budapest Liszt Ferenc International Airport on runway 13R. The final approach was initiated from the north-west, heading 132.0° at an altitude of 1,278 feet above ground level (agl) and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The aircraft maintained a steady course throughout the approach, with a slight deviation in the threshold height, which was above the target at 61 feet agl.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was slightly below the target at 140 knots, but the touchdown speed of 132 knots was considered good. The touchdown rate of -258 feet per minute (fpm) was fair, indicating a moderate deceleration upon landing. However, the touchdown point was 171 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which may indicate a slight over-shooting.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.2 meters from the centerline, which could be attributed to a minor deviation in the aircraft's alignment during the final approach. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 19°C and a gentle wind of 5 knots at 91°. The crosswind component was minimal at 3 knots, while the headwind component was 4 knots, which likely contributed to the aircraft's stable approach.
The total landing distance of 1,507 meters was 50% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance. The runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively, maintaining a stable alignment with the runway centerline. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with minor deviations in the threshold height and touchdown point, but a good touchdown speed and rollout alignment.
