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 53 ft.
What happened: The flare began at 53 ft, 8 ft earlier than the normal band.
Watch for: Radio altimeter: start the flare within the normal flare band
See Arrival Landing
Below 10,000 ft you are typically limited to 250 kt indicated (a US rule that much of the world mirrors in some form, though not universally). This forces a deceleration around 10,000 ft whether the profile wants one or not, so plan for it rather than discovering 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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,804 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 36 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Airbus A320 taxiing from the parking area to the runway at CYQB Quebec Jean Lesage International Airport, a process that took 5 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 29, with a takeoff distance of 1,145 meters, which accounted for 66% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 155 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions of 16°C temperature and a wind speed of 6 knots at 350 degrees. The crosswind was 5 knots, while the headwind was 2 knots. The enroute climb began overhead CAMB Aérodrome du Mont-Bélair Quebec, where the aircraft ascended from 1,222 feet above sea level to 35,446 feet above sea level, an increase of 34,224 feet in 16 minutes, covering a distance of 90 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 4 miles west of ME22 Avery Field Rockwood, lasting 1,719 minutes and covering 113 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent 2 miles south of Boothbay Harbor, Maine, where it descended from 35,785 feet above sea level to 5,096 feet above sea level, a decrease of 30,688 feet in 19 minutes, covering a distance of 97 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise resumed 1 mile south-west of Peabody, Massachusetts, lasting only 2 minutes and covering 5 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent overhead Wakefield, Massachusetts, where it descended from 5,098 feet above sea level to 1,419 feet above sea level, a decrease of 3,679 feet in 5 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 15R at KBOS Logan International Airport was made from the north-west, with a heading of 131.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,386 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown speed of 124 knots and a touchdown distance of 37 meters. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the runway rollout alignment was also very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 24°C temperature and a wind speed of 14 knots at 170 degrees. The crosswind was 8 knots, while the headwind was 11 knots. The total landing distance was 1,383 meters, which accounted for 49% of the runway. The total flight distance was 318 nautical miles, taking 65 minutes, and the aircraft used 2,878 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed on runway 15R at KBOS Logan International Airport, achieving a high score of 97.9%. The aircraft approached the runway from the northwest, heading 131.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,386 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot maintained a good threshold height, which is a critical aspect of a safe landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was within the acceptable range at 125 knots. The touchdown distance of 37 meters was also satisfactory, indicating that the pilot had sufficient control over the aircraft's descent. The touchdown speed of 124 knots was also within the acceptable range, further emphasizing the pilot's skill and control.
However, the touchdown rate of -300 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair, suggesting that the pilot could have maintained a more gradual descent. Nevertheless, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 24°C and a wind speed of 14 knots at 170°. The crosswind component was 8 knots, while the headwind component was 11 knots. These conditions did not appear to pose any significant challenges for the pilot.
The total landing distance of 1,383 meters was 49% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. This suggests that the pilot had sufficient control over the aircraft's descent and was able to bring it to a stop quickly and safely. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the pilot had maintained control over the aircraft's movement after touchdown.
Overall, the landing was a success, with the pilot demonstrating good control and skill throughout the approach and touchdown phases. The high score of 97.9% reflects the pilot's expertise and the aircraft's performance under the given conditions.
