Monitor your taxi speed
Twenty knots on a monitor produces the visual sensation of about ten. The advice to "taxi at a walking pace" cannot fix this, because your sense of walking pace is exactly the thing that's broken. Put the groundspeed readout in your scan and obey it for the next fifty flights, the way a student pilot leans on the airspeed indicator before learning to read attitude.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with five checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
At the 500 ft gate: sink rate above what the glideslope needed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,006 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 398 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking area to the runway, which took 10 minutes and covered a distance of 6 nautical miles. The aircraft, an MD-11, then departed from runway 31L at Budapest Liszt Ferenc International Airport (LHBP). The takeoff distance was 1,559 meters, which accounted for 52% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 167 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 6 knots from a direction of 230°. The crosswind component was 6 knots, while the headwind component was 1 knot. As the aircraft took off, it began its enroute climb, which started 2 miles west of the airport. The climb was from an altitude of 1,452 feet above sea level to 11,557 feet above sea level, an increase of 10,105 feet in just 4 minutes, covering a distance of 17 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which began 1 mile southeast of Etyek, Hungary. This phase lasted for 3 minutes and covered a distance of 18 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its enroute descent, which began overhead Oroszlany, Hungary. The descent was from an altitude of 12,561 feet above sea level to 1,767 feet above sea level, a decrease of 10,794 feet in 12 minutes, covering a distance of 34 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 13R at LHBP was made from the northwest, heading 133.0° at an altitude of 1,303 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was made on runway 13R, which had a length of 3,006 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 167 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 398 meters, and the touchdown speed was 163 knots, which was also good. However, the touchdown rate was fair at -276 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned by 15.3 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 14°C and a wind speed of 6 knots from a direction of 209°. The crosswind component was 6 knots, while the headwind component was 1 knot.
The total landing distance was 1,899 meters, which accounted for 63% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 14.0 meters from the centerline. The total flight distance was 81 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 30 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 37,549 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The MD-11 aircraft successfully landed at LHBP Budapest Liszt Ferenc International Airport, achieving a score of 93.2%. The final approach was conducted from the north-west, heading 133.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,303 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 13R, which has a length of 3,006 meters.
The threshold height was reported as good, but the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 167 knots. However, the touchdown distance of 398 meters was considered good, and the touchdown speed of 163 knots was also within acceptable limits. The touchdown rate of -276 feet per minute (fpm) was fair, indicating a slightly steeper descent than desired.
The runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned by 15.3 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to factors such as wind or pilot error. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 14°C, with a wind speed of 6 knots at 209°. The crosswind component was 6 knots, while the headwind component was 1 knot.
The total landing distance of 1,899 meters was 63% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 14.0 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to the same factors that caused the initial touchdown position to be off-center.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a good touchdown speed and distance. However, the significant misalignment of the touchdown position and rollout alignment may indicate areas for improvement in the pilot's technique or the aircraft's handling characteristics.
