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 53 ft off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Wait for the normal flare band and the correct speed before raising the nose, rather than starting the flare at 82 ft.
What happened: The flare began at 82 ft, 37 ft above the normal band, and the touchdown followed at 351 fpm. Starting the flare this early usually carries through to a firmer arrival than a flare begun in the normal band.
Watch for: Radio altimeter: hold the flare start within the normal flare band
Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without it.

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 1,000 ft gate: off the centreline.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 7,028 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,919 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 16 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The Airbus A320 then departed from runway 33L at KBOS Logan International Airport, with a takeoff distance of 5,730 feet, which accounted for 62% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 156 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions of a temperature of 67°F and winds of 4 knots at 140°. The crosswind was negligible, but there was a tailwind of 4 knots. The enroute climb began overhead Chelsea, Massachusetts, where the aircraft ascended from 1,029 feet above sea level to 16,352 feet, an increase of 15,324 feet in just 7 minutes, covering a distance of 30 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 1 mile south east of Northbridge, Massachusetts, and lasted for 20 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 124 nautical miles. The enroute climb resumed overhead Yonkers, New York, where the aircraft ascended from 16,356 feet to 17,228 feet, an increase of 873 feet in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 8 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, the enroute descent began overhead Wood-Ridge, New Jersey, where it descended from 17,110 feet to 1,034 feet, a decrease of 16,075 feet in 9 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 22L at KEWR Newark Liberty International Airport was made from the north east, with a heading of 212.0° at 3 nautical miles and 1,000 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 22L was successful, with a total landing distance of 4,268 feet, which accounted for 61% of the runway. The threshold height was good, but the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 143 knots. The touchdown point was 567 feet beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was a little fast at 138 knots. The touchdown rate was firm at -394 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 20 feet from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 75°F and winds of 6 knots at 189°, with a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 6 knots. The runway rollout alignment was very good, and the taxiing to the parking area from the runway took just 5 minutes, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 178 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 50 minutes, with a fuel consumption of 4,910 pounds.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed on runway 22L at KEWR Newark Liberty International Airport, achieving a score of 90.7%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north east, heading 212.0° at 3 nautical miles and 1,000 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with a good threshold height, indicating that the aircraft was properly configured for landing.
Upon touchdown, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 143 kt, which may have been due to the aircraft's descent rate or the pilot's decision to flare slightly earlier than expected. The touchdown point was 567 feet beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The touchdown speed of 138 kt was a little fast, but the touchdown rate of -394 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, indicating a controlled descent.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 20 feet from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight drift or a minor deviation in the pilot's alignment. However, the runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway after touchdown.
The local weather conditions were favorable for landing, with a temperature of 75°F and a wind of 6 kt at 189°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 kt, and the headwind component was 6 kt, which helped to reduce the aircraft's ground speed and make the landing more stable.
Overall, the landing was successful, and the aircraft came to a stop within 4,268 feet of the runway, which is 61% of the runway length. While there were some minor deviations from the target parameters, the pilots demonstrated good control and management of the aircraft during the landing, resulting in a score of 90.7%.
