Improve the rollout
Ground control varies with speed, full authority at walking pace, progressively reducing as groundspeed rises. The aircraft becomes twitchy at any speed, every small pedal input swings the nose, which can encourage large-amplitude leg inputs that no real aircraft would accept.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with five checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
At the 1,000 ft gate: off the centreline.
At the 500 ft gate: off the centreline.

Side view — the last 5,969 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,969 ft of the 7,641 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 854 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
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.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at KBOS Logan International Airport on runway 04R, achieving a high score of 98.6%. The final approach was conducted from the south, heading 20.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,300 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, indicating a stable and controlled descent.
Upon touchdown, the threshold speed was recorded at 149 knots, which is within the acceptable range. However, the touchdown speed of 146 knots was slightly faster than desired, suggesting a slight overcorrection by the pilots. The touchdown rate of -215 feet per minute (fpm) was fair, indicating a moderate deceleration upon touchdown.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 14 feet from the centerline, which may have been due to a minor deviation in the pilots' alignment during the final approach. Despite this, the runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating a smooth and controlled deceleration of the aircraft after touchdown.
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 340°. The crosswind and headwind components were both 2 knots, resulting in a negligible impact on the landing. The total landing distance of 5,713 feet was 75% of the available runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and weight.
Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft touching down safely and rolling out smoothly. However, there is room for improvement in terms of touchdown speed and alignment.
