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 19 ft off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Add power on short final to hold speed at 133 kt, correcting the slow threshold speed before it carries through to the flare.
What happened: Threshold speed was slow at 129 kt against 133 kt, and touchdown followed short of the aim point at 142 ft. Crossing the threshold slow like this usually carries the touchdown short.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator against 133 kt on short final.
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: centreline 9.4° off, against a 1° limit.
At the 500 ft gate: centreline 6.8° off, against a 1° limit.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 5,810 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 142 ft short of the threshold. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Logan International Airport (KBOS), the Boeing 737-700 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 15 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. As the aircraft lined up on runway 33L, it was cleared for departure roll, and the takeoff distance of 5,138 feet, which accounted for 56% of the runway, was utilized. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 145 knots, and with a local temperature of 51°F and wind conditions of 11 knots at 60°, the flight crew navigated the aircraft through the initial climb phase.
As the aircraft climbed from 1,043 feet above sea level to 38,002 feet, an increase of 36,959 feet in just 19 minutes, it covered a distance of 124 nautical miles. The enroute climb phase was completed overhead Chelsea, Massachusetts, marking the beginning of the cruise phase. The aircraft then leveled off at an altitude of 38,002 feet, cruising for 82 minutes and covering 519 nautical miles, before starting its descent phase. The descent from 38,004 feet to 3,220 feet took 27 minutes and covered 134 nautical miles, with the aircraft passing through the descent phase 2 miles south of Marvin Thiel Field Blakeslee in Ohio. The final cruise phase lasted just 5 minutes, covering 12 nautical miles, before the aircraft began its final approach to runway 22L at Chicago Midway International Airport (KMDW).
The Boeing 737-700 touched down before the threshold, with a touchdown speed of 128 knots, which was slightly fast. The touchdown rate was firm at -338 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 29 feet from the centerline. The total landing distance was 1,645 feet, accounting for 31% of the runway. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took 6 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 798 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 153 minutes, with the aircraft consuming 12,095 pounds of fuel during the journey.
The Boeing 737-700 touched down on runway 22L at KMDW Chicago Midway International Airport, completing a final approach from the north east. The aircraft's heading of 233.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,379 feet above ground level (agl) indicated a stable and controlled descent. The approach quality was satisfactory, with the aircraft maintaining a steady rate of descent throughout the final stages of the approach.
The touchdown occurred before the threshold, with a speed of 128 knots, which was slightly above the recommended threshold speed. The touchdown rate of -338 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, indicating a controlled impact with the runway. However, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 29 feet from the centreline, which may have contributed to the slightly fast touchdown speed. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 57°F and a 3-knot headwind, were favorable for the landing.
The total landing distance of 1,645 feet was 31% of the runway length, which is within the acceptable range. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 44 feet from the centreline, indicating a slight deviation from the desired path. Overall, the landing was satisfactory, with a score of 90.5%. While there were some minor deviations from the desired performance, the pilot's skills and the aircraft's handling characteristics ensured a safe and controlled landing.
