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.
Side view — the last 1,915 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,915 m of the 3,701 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 781 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 31L at Budapest Liszt Ferenc International Airport (LHBP). The Airbus A321 took off with a takeoff distance of 439 meters, which is 15% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 157 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 286 degrees. This resulted in a negligible crosswind and headwind component.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb 2 miles east of Kispest, a suburb of Budapest. The climb started from an altitude of 1,574 feet above sea level and reached a height of 2,783 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,209 feet in just 1 minute. During this climb, the aircraft covered a distance of 3 nautical miles.
After reaching the desired cruising altitude, the aircraft began its enroute descent 1 mile northeast of Kobanya, another suburb of Budapest. The descent started from an altitude of 2,784 feet above sea level and ended at an altitude of 783 feet above sea level, a decrease of 2,001 feet in 2 minutes. The aircraft covered a distance of 4 nautical miles during this descent.
As the aircraft approached the airport, it began its final approach to runway 13L at LHBP. The approach was made from the northwest, with the aircraft heading 133.0 degrees at an altitude of 318 feet above ground level. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were the same as at the time of departure, with a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 286 degrees.
The aircraft landed on runway 13L, which has a length of 3,701 meters. The threshold height at 78 feet above ground level was well above the target, and the threshold speed was also well above the target at 132 knots. The touchdown point was 330 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 128 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was hard at -453 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The total landing distance was 1,800 meters, which is 49% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect. The aircraft used a total of 10 nautical miles of fuel during the flight, which lasted for 4 minutes. The total fuel consumption was 8,804 kilograms.
The Airbus A321 aircraft successfully landed at LHBP Budapest Liszt Ferenc International Airport, with a score of 85.4%. The final approach was initiated from the north-west, heading 133.0° at an altitude of 318 feet above ground level (agl) and 0 nautical miles from the runway. The aircraft was on a steady course for a landing on runway 13L, which has a length of 3,701 meters.
Upon reaching the threshold, the aircraft was found to be above the target height at 78 feet agl, and the speed was also above the target at 132 knots. The touchdown point was located 330 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, indicating a slight deviation from the intended landing spot. The touchdown speed of 128 knots was slightly faster than the target, and the touchdown rate was hard at -453 feet per minute (fpm).
Despite these minor deviations, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway during the landing. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from 286°. The crosswind and tailwind components were both minimal at 1 knot.
The total landing distance was 1,800 meters, which accounted for 49% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was able to touch down and come to a stop within a reasonable distance. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway during the rollout phase.
Overall, while there were some minor deviations from the target parameters, the landing was considered successful, and the aircraft was able to come to a stop within a reasonable distance.
