Flight Score
Maintain the centreline
The one change that would have gained the most on this flight, and the guide passage for it.
A small uncorrected heading error at 40 knots becomes a metre of offset per second by 100 knots, noticed only at rotation, producing a crabbed liftoff. Root cause is nearly always eyes on the tape instead of the far end of the runway. Small heading changes displace a distant point visibly long before the nearby centreline stripes look wrong.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks at 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 2,803 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 587 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Logan International Airport's runway 22L, the ATR 72 aircraft began its takeoff roll, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 154 kt in 1,713 meters, which represented 74% of the available runway length. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 10 °C, with a gentle headwind of 9 kt from a direction of 189 °, resulting in a negligible crosswind component.
As the aircraft climbed to a cruising altitude, it transitioned from the initial climb phase to the enroute level cruise, which began approximately 1 mile east of Jamaica Plain. During this 12-minute segment, the aircraft maintained a steady altitude of 3,778 ft asl, covering a distance of 41 nm. Subsequently, the aircraft entered the enroute descent phase, initiated overhead Woburn, and descended to 1,347 ft asl in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nm. The aircraft then proceeded to the final approach phase, aligning itself with runway 15R at Logan International Airport from a heading of 136.0 ° at 4 nm and 1,317 ft agl.
The final approach was interrupted by a go-around at 651 ft agl, after which the aircraft successfully landed on runway 15R, with a touchdown speed of 109 kt and a touchdown rate of -26 fpm. The touchdown point was 164 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The total landing distance was 1,218 meters, representing 43% of the available runway length. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the designated parking area, having completed a total flight distance of 117 nm and utilizing 15 kg less fuel than anticipated, with a total flight time of 42 minutes.
The aircraft touched down on runway 15R at KBOS Logan International Airport with a score of 96.3%. The final approach from the north west, heading 136.0° at 4 nm and 1,317 ft above ground level, was executed smoothly. The threshold height was good, but the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 118 kt, indicating a slight deviation from the ideal landing conditions.
The touchdown point was 164 m beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed of 109 kt was a little fast. However, the touchdown rate of -26 fpm was perfect, demonstrating excellent control and precision. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, with the aircraft maintaining a precise path to the runway. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 7 °C and wind at 8 kt from 189°, resulted in a crosswind of 7 kt and a headwind of 5 kt.
The total landing distance of 1,218 m was 43% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 7.7 m from the centreline, which was the only notable deviation from an otherwise excellent landing. Overall, the landing was executed with precision and control, with the aircraft demonstrating good handling characteristics in the challenging weather conditions.
