What went well

Touchdown 786 ft in — inside the full-score zone
Threshold crossed at 34 ft and 139 kt — both inside band
Straight touchdown — 9.1 ft off the centreline, no bounce

What held you back

Departure Roll — Liftoff speed was 182 kt at 82 %, −0.24 points
Arrival Landing — Flare profile at 78 %, −0.23 points
Arrival Touchdown — Touchdown rate was -416 fpm at 89 %, −0.12 points

Next time

Departure

Rotate sooner, bringing the nose up at 157 kt rather than letting speed build further.

What happened: You lifted off at 182 kt against a rotation target of 157 kt, rotating late in the ground roll.

Watch for: Watch airspeed and rotate at the target of 157 kt.

See Departure Roll

Arrival

Stop the rotation once the sink is arrested at 0.2 ft, holding the normal landing attitude instead of continuing to pull back.

What happened: The flare pitch reached 1.9°, well above this type's ground attitude, and touchdown followed at a sink rate of 249 fpm. Over-rotating the flare like this usually carries through to a firm or hard touchdown.

Watch for: Attitude indicator: hold the normal landing attitude once sink is arrested at 0.2 ft.

See Arrival LandingArrival Touchdown

A typical trainer rotates in the mid-50s of knots - a 172 at around 55 KIAS, climbing out at a Vy in the low 70s, though check your own POH rather than memorising Cessna's numbers - and the transferable rule is that Vr sits just above the stall speed in takeoff configuration. Rotate early because "it felt ready" and the aircraft lifts off inside ground effect, where induced drag is reduced, then climbs out of it into more drag. On a marginal-performance day the result is an aircraft that lifts off and then refuses to climb, sagging back towards the runway.

Flight narrative

The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 10 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, an Airbus A321, then departed from runway 28R at KORD Chicago O'Hare International Airport. The takeoff distance was 6,846 feet, which accounted for 53% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 182 knots.

The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 87 degrees Fahrenheit and winds of 8 knots at 327 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 7 knots and a headwind of 4 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead Bensenville, Illinois, and ascending from 1,719 feet above sea level to 34,796 feet above sea level, an increase of 33,078 feet in 19 minutes and covering 131 nautical miles.

Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, starting 2 miles northwest of Marshall, Michigan, and lasting 56 minutes, covering 477 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its first descent, starting 1 mile west of Delanson, New York, and descending from 33,993 feet above sea level to 23,904 feet above sea level, a decrease of 10,089 feet in 5 minutes and covering 41 nautical miles.

The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting 1 mile southwest of Pownal, Vermont, and lasting 3 minutes, covering 24 nautical miles. A subsequent descent began 1 mile northeast of Colrain, Massachusetts, and the aircraft descended from 23,747 feet above sea level to 3,362 feet above sea level, a decrease of 20,385 feet in 16 minutes and covering 78 nautical miles.

The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting overhead Wenham, Massachusetts, and lasting 2 minutes, covering 5 nautical miles. A final descent began overhead Peabody, Massachusetts, and the aircraft descended from 2,869 feet above sea level to 1,228 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,641 feet in 2 minutes and covering 5 nautical miles.

The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 22L at KBOS Logan International Airport, coming in from the north at a heading of 200.0 degrees and 4 nautical miles from the runway. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 73 degrees Fahrenheit and winds of 7 knots at 190 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 7 knots.

The aircraft landed on runway 22L, which had a length of 7,641 feet. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 140 knots. The touchdown distance was 790 feet, which was good, but the touchdown speed of 137 knots was a little fast. The touchdown rate was hard at -416 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 11 feet from the centerline.

The total landing distance was 3,801 feet, which accounted for 50% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 6 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 770 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 119 minutes. The aircraft used 10,337 pounds of fuel during the flight.

Landing Score 97.91 %
Landing Summary

The Airbus A321 successfully landed at KBOS Logan International Airport on runway 22L, achieving a score of 97.9%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north, heading 200.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,200 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot maintained a good threshold height, which is a crucial aspect of a safe landing.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was within the acceptable range at 140 knots. However, the touchdown speed of 137 knots was slightly faster than ideal, which may have contributed to a harder touchdown rate. The touchdown rate of -416 feet per minute (fpm) was indeed hard, indicating that the aircraft may have touched down with a bit too much force.

The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 11 feet from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the pilot's alignment during the final approach. Despite this, the runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft and align it with the runway centerline during the rollout phase.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 73°F and a wind speed of 7 knots from 190°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 7 knots, which helped to reduce the aircraft's ground speed and make the landing more manageable.

The total landing distance of 3,801 feet was 50% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated good control and management of the aircraft during the final approach and touchdown phases.
