Monitor your speed
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.
One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,308 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 193 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with taxiing from the parking area to the runway, which took 9 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a FFX P180, then departed from runway 15R at KBOS Logan International Airport, Boston, Massachusetts, United States. The takeoff distance was 540 meters, which accounted for 19% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 114 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of KBOS, it encountered local weather conditions of -3°C temperature and a wind speed of 2 knots at 269 degrees. The crosswind was 1 knot, and the tailwind was also 1 knot. The enroute climb started overhead KBOS and took the aircraft from an altitude of 1,011 feet above sea level to 30,006 feet above sea level, an increase of 28,995 feet in 14 minutes, covering a distance of 27 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 2 miles southwest of Salem, New Hampshire, and lasted for 36 minutes, covering a distance of 241 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its enroute descent 4 miles southwest of Victory, New York, and descended from 29,992 feet above sea level to 1,946 feet above sea level, a decrease of 28,046 feet in 18 minutes, covering a distance of 85 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 23 at KBUF Buffalo Niagara International Airport was made from the north east, heading 224.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,247 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 23 was successful, with a threshold speed slightly below target at 109 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 192 meters, and the touchdown speed was 102 knots, which was good. The touchdown rate was also good at -189 feet per minute.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were -4°C temperature and a wind speed of 2 knots at 270 degrees, with a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 1 knot. The total landing distance was 726 meters, which accounted for 31% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect. Taxiing to the parking area from the runway took 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 360 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 78 minutes. The aircraft used 501 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The aircraft, identified as FFX P180 03 01, successfully landed at KBUF Buffalo Niagara International Airport, demonstrating exceptional piloting skills. The final approach to runway 23 was executed from the north east, with a heading of 224.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,247 feet above ground level (agl). This approach was likely a visual approach, given the good threshold height and the fact that the aircraft was able to land on the runway.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down at a speed of 102 knots, which was slightly below the target threshold speed of 109 knots. However, this was not a concern, as the touchdown speed was still within a safe range. The touchdown distance of 192 meters was also good, indicating that the pilot had a good sense of the aircraft's speed and altitude. The touchdown rate of -189 feet per minute (fpm) was also good, suggesting that the pilot had a smooth and controlled descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of -4°C and a wind speed of 2 knots from 270°. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 1 knot, which the pilot effectively managed during the landing. The total landing distance of 726 meters was 31% of the runway length, indicating that the pilot had a good sense of the aircraft's speed and altitude.
The runway rollout alignment was perfect, suggesting that the pilot had a good sense of the aircraft's direction and speed during the landing. Overall, the landing was a success, with the aircraft touching down safely and the pilot demonstrating excellent piloting skills. The score of 99.8% reflects the high level of proficiency and skill displayed by the pilot during the landing.
