Flight Score
Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.
What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 3,415 ft off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
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.
At the 500 ft gate: speed above the reference speed.

Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 6,979 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,422 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Cessna CJ4 Citation took off from runway 13R at John F Kennedy International Airport, with a departure roll distance of 10,522 feet, which is 115% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 130 knots. At the time of takeoff, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 32°F and winds blowing at 18 knots from a direction of 250°, resulting in a crosswind of 14 knots and a tailwind of 11 knots.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead the airport and took it to an altitude of 14,094 feet above sea level. This climb of 14,024 feet was achieved in just 5 minutes, covering a distance of 12 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a level cruise, which lasted for 38 minutes and covered a distance of 143 nautical miles. This cruise phase took place 3 miles southwest of the ZC06 Long Island Static Carrier - CVN76.
After completing the level cruise, the aircraft began its enroute descent, which started 2 miles west of Hubbardston, Massachusetts. This descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 13,737 feet to 5,496 feet above sea level, a decrease of 8,241 feet in just 11 minutes, covering a distance of 53 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise, which lasted for just 2 minutes and covered a distance of 5 nautical miles, taking place 2 miles east of Swampscott, Massachusetts.
The aircraft then began its final descent, which started 5 miles southeast of Marblehead, Massachusetts. This descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 5,473 feet to 1,127 feet above sea level, a decrease of 4,345 feet in just 4 minutes, covering a distance of 9 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 27 at Logan International Airport was made from the east, with the aircraft heading 256.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,108 feet above ground level. The landing was made on a runway length of 6,979 feet, with a good threshold height. The threshold speed was well above the target speed at 104 knots, but the touchdown distance was good at 1,424 feet. However, the touchdown speed was a little fast at 90 knots, and the touchdown rate was fair at -250 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 10 feet from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 27°F and winds blowing at 12 knots from a direction of 250°, resulting in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 12 knots.
The total landing distance was 2,149 feet, which is 31% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. After landing, the aircraft took 6 minutes to taxi to the parking area, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 229 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 80 minutes. Notably, the aircraft used 0 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Cessna CJ4 Citation successfully landed at KBOS Logan International Airport, achieving a score of 92.5%. The aircraft approached the runway from the east, heading 256.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,108 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a precise final approach, taking into account the local weather conditions, which included a temperature of 27°F and a wind speed of 12 knots from 250°.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on runway 27, which has a length of 6,979 feet. The threshold height was satisfactory, and the threshold speed was well above the target speed of 104 knots. However, the touchdown speed of 90 knots was slightly faster than desired, indicating that the pilot may have applied a bit too much power during the flare. The touchdown rate of -250 feet per minute (fpm) was fair, suggesting that the pilot managed to control the descent effectively.
One area for improvement was the runway touchdown position, which was slightly misaligned by 10 feet from the centerline. This may have been due to a slight deviation in the pilot's alignment during the final approach. Despite this, the runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
The total landing distance of 2,149 feet was 31% of the runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The crosswind component was minimal, with a headwind of 12 knots and a crosswind of only 1 knot. Overall, the pilot demonstrated good skills and control during the landing, and the aircraft performed well under the given conditions.
