Flight Score
Arrival
Keep the back pressure coming through the flare so the sink does not return at 206 fpm.
What happened: The flare arrested the sink, but then the sink returned before touchdown.
Watch for: Watch the VSI in the flare and keep arrested sink from returning before touchdown at 8 fpm.
See Arrival Landing
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.

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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: off the runway's 3° glideslope.
At the 500 ft gate: off the runway's 3° glideslope.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,767 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,767 m of the 3,006 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,023 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a short taxiing period from the parking area to the runway, taking less than a minute and covering less than a nautical mile. The aircraft, an MD-11, then departed from runway 13L at Budapest Liszt Ferenc International Airport (LHBP). The takeoff distance was 918 meters, which is 25% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 164 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of 4°C, with a wind speed of 6 knots at 97°.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, reaching an altitude of 3,999 feet above sea level (asl) from an initial altitude of 1,681 feet asl. This climb took 2 minutes and covered a distance of 5 nautical miles. The aircraft then leveled off and began its first enroute level cruise, which lasted for 3 minutes and covered 4 nautical miles.
The flight then began its first enroute descent, which started 1 mile south west of Peteri and took 2 minutes to descend from 3,999 feet asl to 3,039 feet asl, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles. The aircraft then leveled off again and began its second enroute level cruise, which lasted for 2 minutes and covered 4 nautical miles.
The flight then began its second enroute descent, which started 2 miles west of Monor and took 2 minutes to descend from 2,469 feet asl to 1,144 feet asl, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles. The aircraft then leveled off again and began its third enroute level cruise, which lasted for 2 minutes and covered 4 nautical miles.
The flight then began its second enroute climb, which started overhead LHBP Budapest Liszt Ferenc International Airport and took 3 minutes to climb from 1,318 feet asl to 3,019 feet asl, covering a distance of 10 nautical miles. The aircraft then leveled off and began its fourth enroute level cruise, which lasted for 5 minutes and covered 6 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached the airport, it began its final approach to runway 13R, heading 123.0° at an altitude of 579 feet above ground level (agl) and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. However, the pilot decided to go-around, and the aircraft climbed to an altitude of 245 feet agl.
The aircraft then landed on runway 13R, which has a length of 3,006 meters. The threshold speed was slightly below the target speed at 121 knots, but the touchdown speed was good at 124 knots. The touchdown point was 595 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown rate was good at -191 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.2 meters from the centreline.
The total landing distance was 1,791 meters, which is 60% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 14.2 meters from the centreline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 2°C, with a wind speed of 5 knots at 92°.
The total flight distance was 52 nautical miles, and the flight took 35 minutes to complete. The aircraft used a total of 22,495 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The MD-11 aircraft successfully landed at LHBP Budapest Liszt Ferenc International Airport, with a score of 81.9%. The final approach was initiated from the north-west, heading 123.0° at 4 nautical miles and 579 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft was on a clear path to land on runway 13R, which has a length of 3,006 meters.
Upon touchdown, the threshold height was reported as good, but the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 121 knots. The touchdown point was 595 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which indicates that the aircraft landed slightly further down the runway than intended. However, the touchdown speed of 124 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -191 feet per minute (fpm) was also good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 2°C and a wind speed of 5 knots at 92°. The crosswind component was minimal at 3 knots, while the headwind component was 4 knots. These conditions likely contributed to a relatively smooth landing.
One area for improvement was the runway touchdown position, which was slightly misaligned by 5.2 meters from the centerline. Additionally, the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 14.2 meters from the centerline. These minor deviations from the centerline may have been due to factors such as wind or pilot error.
Overall, the landing was successful, but there is room for improvement in terms of precision and alignment. The aircraft's total landing distance of 1,791 meters was 60% of the runway length, which is within the acceptable range.
