Flight Score
Departure
Hold the nose down until the speed reaches 139 kt, then rotate.
What happened: You started the rotation at 109 kt, 30 kt before the 139 kt rotation speed.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 139 kt at rotation
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Reduce power earlier on final so the speed is back to 147 kt before the stabilisation gate, not just by the threshold.
What happened: Speed was still fast at the stabilisation gate, and crossing the threshold 26 kt above target usually carries a fast touchdown with it.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 147 kt at the threshold.
Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
At the 1,000 ft gate: no landing flap set and speed 50 kt FAST on the reference speed of 147 kt.
At the 500 ft gate: no landing flap set, glideslope 1.2° against the runway's 3° and speed 30 kt FAST on the reference speed of 147 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,991 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,991 m of the 2,698 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 197 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Boeing 737-800 taxied from the parking area to runway 23 at KPVD Theodore Francis Green State Airport in less than 1 minute, covering less than 1 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 23, the aircraft used 1,179 m of runway, representing 54 % of the available length, and lifted off at 138 kt. Local weather at the time was 17 °C with a wind of 3 kt from 270°, giving a 3 kt cross-wind component and a 2 kt head-wind component.
The initial climb began 1 mile west of Warwick, Rhode Island, where the airplane rose from 1,068 ft asl to 3,091 ft asl, an increase of 2,023 ft in 1 minute while covering 3 nm.
Level cruise commenced 1 mile west of East Greenwich, Rhode Island, and was maintained for 75 minutes, during which the aircraft traveled 1 nm.
A second climb started 1 mile south-east of West Warwick, Rhode Island; altitude increased from 3,359 ft asl to 4,507 ft asl, a gain of 1,148 ft in 2 minutes over a distance of 6 nm.
The next cruise segment began 1 mile north of RI20 Mystery Farm Airport in Cranston, Rhode Island, lasting 10 minutes and covering 34 nm.
Descent began overhead Stoughton, Massachusetts, with the airplane descending from 4,520 ft asl to 999 ft asl, a loss of 3,521 ft in 2 minutes while traversing 10 nm.
On final approach to runway 04R at KBOS Logan International Airport, the aircraft approached from the south on a heading of 21.0° at 4 nm and 970 ft agl.
Landing on runway 04R was executed with a runway length of 2,693 m; the threshold speed was recorded at 173 kt, while touchdown occurred at 195 m from the threshold with a speed of 171 kt, a descent rate of minus 205 fpm, and perfect runway alignment. Weather at the destination was 15 °C with a wind of 5 kt from 268°, producing a 4 kt cross-wind component and a 2 kt tail-wind component.
The total landing distance measured 1,918 m, representing 71 % of the runway, and rollout alignment was very good.
In summary, the flight covered a total distance of 60 nm, took 16 minutes, and used minus 9,232 kg of fuel.
The final approach to runway 04R at KBOS Logan International Airport was flown from the south on a heading of 21.0° at 4 nm and 970 ft agl, with a temperature of 15 °C, wind 5 kt from 268°, a 4 kt cross-wind component and a 2 kt tail-wind component.
The threshold height was reported as good, while the threshold speed was too high at 173 kt.
Touchdown occurred 195 m down the runway, a distance described as good, with a touchdown speed of 171 kt that was too fast, a touchdown rate fair at minus 205 fpm, and runway touchdown alignment perfect; the total landing distance was 1,918 m, representing 71 % of the 2,693 m runway.
Runway rollout alignment was very good.
With a final score of 96.1 %, the primary refinement is to reduce both threshold and touchdown speeds toward the appropriate VREF to ensure a more controlled touchdown. Maintaining a stabilized approach speed will also help achieve the target touchdown point and rate.
