Plan view the roll down the 11,866 ft runway.

Rolled from the start of the runway, never more than 5 ft off the centreline. Airborne 48 % of the way down the runway, before the 75 % line.

How to read this

The roll from above, with your left at the top. The line is where the wheels went, and "widest" is the furthest you drifted off the centreline. Lifting off before the amber 75 % line gets full marks for the roll length.

How to read this

The takeoff from the side: the height above the runway against the distance along it. The numbers along the runway are the speeds reached at each point. Lifting off in the amber last quarter of the runway costs marks for the roll length. The shaded stretch is Climb 3, scored on its average speed against the target.

Speed and pitch from brake release to the end of the climb, against time.

How to read this

Two traces from brake release: the airspeed on top, and below it the pitch, which is how far the nose is above the horizon. The figure at liftoff is the pitch then. The grey dashed line across the pitch is the attitude held from 35 ft to the end: a nose held steady is a climb speed that holds, and the airspeed trace sits directly above it to compare. The shaded stretch is Climb 3, the part of the climb scored on holding the climb speed.

The stabilisation gates

Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.

When the approach was stable

Every check met from 4 nm to 0.4 nm, then not again: low from 0.4 nm to the threshold.

How to read this

Each line is one of the gate checks, run along the whole final rather than only at the gates: green where it would have passed, amber where it would not. The glideslope, centreline and speed lines use the bands in the charts beside this card. The sink rate is allowed what the glideslope needs at your ground speed plus 600 fpm, the wings 10° of bank, and the gear and flap are read from when you moved the levers. The bottom line is green where every check held at once, ignoring blips shorter than 0.2 nm, and the sentence above it says from where it held to the threshold. A ring is a stabilisation gate, where the checks in the table were taken.

How to read this

Your height above the runway against the distance still to go. The glideslope is the steady descent path to the aiming point, 1,000 ft past the threshold: 3° here, which is about 320 ft for every nautical mile out, crossing the threshold at about 50 ft. The row under the distances is the height it puts you at. Inside the green band your path is drawn green; outside it, amber. A ring is a stabilisation gate: green when every check there passed, amber with the failed checks named beside it.

How to read this

Looking down from above, flying left to right towards the runway: up the page is left of the centreline, down is right. Sideways distances are stretched so that small drifts show, so a line that looks wild here may be only a few tens of feet. The labels are how far off you were at each distance, amber when outside the band.

Your indicated airspeed down the final, against the approach speed for this aircraft at its landing weight. The band allows 5 kt slow and more on the fast side further out, closing as you get lower, because the speed is expected to come off on the way down. The figures are knots above (+) or below (−) the approach speed.

Side view — the last 5,969 ft of the approach.

Crossed the threshold at 13 ft, 37 ft below the 50 ft target. Touched down 854 ft in, close to the ideal 1,000 ft.

How to read this

The last stretch of the approach and the touchdown, from the side. The height is stretched so that the last few feet show: 80 ft top to bottom, against 5,969 ft across. The dashed line is the ideal, 50 ft over the threshold and down 1,000 ft in. The flare ring is where you began raising the nose, and "descent slowed" is where the sink came off; the figures beside them are the sink rate, pitch and speed at that point.

Sink and pitch — through the flare, lined up with the side view.

The sink went from 360 fpm at 13 ft to 190 fpm at touchdown. The pitch barely changed. Into 13 ft at 149 kt, on the 147 kt approach speed, and 146 kt at touchdown.

Lined up with the side view above, so a point on one sits under the same point of the other. On top, how fast you were coming down: 0 is level, and −600 is 600 ft a minute down. Below, the pitch. In a flare the nose comes up and the descent slows towards 0. The figure at the touchdown line is your touchdown rate.

How to read this

The runway from above, with your left at the top. Touching down inside the green bracket scores full marks for the distance. The shaded part is the rollout, up to where it ended. The arrow beside the runway is the crosswind, pointing the way the air was moving, so it pushed the aircraft that way. The wind is the one recorded at the landing, split along the runway (headwind or tailwind) and across it. To hold the centreline in a crosswind the nose points a little into wind - the crab - and is straightened with rudder just before the wheels touch, often with the into-wind wing lowered to stop the drift. The sentence gives the nose against the direction you were actually moving as the wheels touched, and the steepest bank as they touched, the figure the touchdown's Bank tile marks. The rest of it is shown for reading, not marked.

The stop — touchdown to taxi speed.

From 138 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 38 s, an average deceleration of 0.15 g.

How to read this

Your ground speed from the moment the wheels touched until you were down to taxi speed, against the distance rolled. A steep line is hard braking, a shallow one a long, gentle roll. For scale, an airliner's lowest autobrake setting decelerates at about 0.15 g, a medium one about 0.3 g. Shown for reading; not marked.

Flight narrative

The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 9 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 27R at Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport (KATL). The takeoff distance was 6,019 feet, which accounted for 51% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 162 knots.

The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 74°F and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 260°. The crosswind was negligible, while the headwind was 2 knots. As the aircraft took off, it began its enroute climb, which started 1 mile south of College Park, Georgia. The climb was from an altitude of 2,046 feet above sea level to 35,098 feet above sea level, an increase of 33,052 feet in 23 minutes, covering a distance of 136 nautical miles.

Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, which started 2 miles south of Duncan, South Carolina. This phase of the flight lasted for 63 minutes and covered a distance of 489 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 1 mile west of Englishtown, New Jersey. The descent was from an altitude of 35,149 feet above sea level to 21,172 feet above sea level, a decrease of 13,977 feet in 16 minutes, covering a distance of 115 nautical miles.

The aircraft then entered another level cruise, which started overhead Devils Hopyard Field East Haddam, Connecticut. This phase of the flight lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 11 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, which started overhead Norwich, Connecticut. The descent was from an altitude of 20,791 feet above sea level to 1,333 feet above sea level, a decrease of 19,458 feet in 16 minutes, covering a distance of 66 nautical miles.

The final approach to runway 04R at Logan International Airport (KBOS) was made from the south, with a heading of 20.0° at an altitude of 1,300 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was made on runway 04R, which had a length of 7,641 feet. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 149 knots.

The touchdown distance was good at 857 feet, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 146 knots. The touchdown rate was fair at -215 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 14 feet from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 21°F and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 340°. The crosswind was 2 knots, while the headwind was also 2 knots.

The total landing distance was 5,713 feet, which accounted for 75% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 5 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 827 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 135 minutes. The aircraft used 13,057 pounds of fuel during the flight.
