Arrival
Hold the aim point and wait for the speed to bleed before raising the nose, starting the flare within the normal band instead of 66 ft.
What happened: The flare began at 66 ft, 21 ft earlier than the normal band.
Watch for: Radio altimeter: start the flare within the normal flare band
See Arrival Landing
Ground effect becomes significant below about one wingspan of height. A Cessna 172, with a 36 ft span, enters ground effect at flare height - the float it feels in the hold-off is ground effect arriving on cue. An A320, with a span around 117 ft, has been in ground effect since before the threshold and there is no sudden cushion to feel, only a gradual reduction in induced drag that lengthens any float you allow.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: seven checks where the approach path is 300 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
At the 300 ft gate: off the centreline and speed below the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 2,062 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,062 m of the 3,701 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 704 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 31R at Budapest Liszt Ferenc International Airport. The Boeing 737-800 aircraft accelerated down the runway, covering a distance of 1,470 meters, which is 40% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was achieved at 159 knots, marking the start of the takeoff phase.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it encountered local weather conditions of 18°C temperature and a wind speed of 1 knot from 270°. The crosswind and headwind components were both 1 knot, resulting in a relatively calm environment for the takeoff. The enroute climb started approximately 1 mile northwest of the airport, where the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 1,517 feet above sea level to 1,854 feet, an increase of 337 feet in just 1 minute. This climb phase covered a distance of 4 nautical miles.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft transitioned to a level cruise phase, which began 2 miles northeast of Kobanya, a suburb of Budapest. This phase lasted for 3 minutes and covered a distance of 5 nautical miles. The cruise phase marked a period of steady flight, where the aircraft maintained a consistent altitude and airspeed.
As the flight progressed, the aircraft began its final approach to runway 13L at Budapest Liszt Ferenc International Airport. The approach was initiated from the northwest, with the aircraft heading 131.0° at an altitude of 154 feet above ground level. The landing was made on a runway with a length of 3,701 meters, and the threshold height was reported as good.
The touchdown speed was slightly below the target speed of 135 knots, at 129 knots. The touchdown point was 288 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown rate was smooth at -140 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 8.8 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 20°C temperature and a wind speed of 3 knots from 227°, resulting in a crosswind component of 3 knots and a headwind component of 0 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,982 meters, which is 54% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned, by 8.1 meters from the centerline. Despite these minor deviations, the landing was reported as good, with a smooth touchdown rate and a reasonable touchdown speed.
The total flight distance was 13 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 6 minutes. The aircraft used a total of -78 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at LHBP Budapest Liszt Ferenc International Airport, with a score of 93.5%. The final approach was initiated from the north-west, heading 131.0° at an altitude of 154 feet above ground level (agl) and 0 nautical miles from the runway. The aircraft touched down on runway 13L, which has a length of 3,701 meters.
The threshold height was reported as good, but the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 135 knots. The touchdown point was 288 meters beyond the touchdown zone, indicating that the aircraft landed slightly further down the runway than intended. However, the touchdown speed of 129 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -140 feet per minute was smooth, indicating a controlled descent.
The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 8.8 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to factors such as wind or pilot error. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 20°C and a wind speed of 3 knots from 227°. The crosswind component was minimal at 3 knots, and there was no headwind.
The total landing distance was 1,982 meters, which is 54% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was able to touch down and stop within a reasonable distance. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 8.1 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 successful, but there were some minor issues with the touchdown position and rollout alignment. These issues may be addressed through further training or adjustments to the aircraft's systems to improve the accuracy of the landing.
