Flight Score
Departure
Raise the gear lever promptly once a positive climb is confirmed, before reaching the target retraction height.
What happened: Gear retraction was delayed, with the gear not coming up until 0 ft agl.
Watch for: Landing gear: up by the normal retraction gate
Arrival
Reduce power earlier on final so the speed is back to 131 kt before the stabilisation gate, not just by the threshold.
What happened: Speed was still fast at the stabilisation gate, and crossing the threshold 29 kt above target usually carries a fast touchdown with it.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 131 kt at the threshold.
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.
One stabilised approach gate: seven checks where the approach path is 300 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out. These checks are the approach's score.
At the 300 ft gate: no landing flap set, centreline 8.5° off, against a 1° limit, wings 25° of bank, against a 10° limit and speed 32 kt FAST on the reference speed of 131 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,698 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 83 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The aircraft taxied from the parking area to runway 33L, a movement that required less than 1 minute and covered less than 1 nm.
On departure roll on runway 33L at KBOS Logan International Airport, the Boeing 737-800 accelerated through a takeoff distance of 875 m, representing 28 % of the runway, and lifted off at 146 kt. Ambient conditions were 16 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 270°, including a 1 kt crosswind and a 1 kt headwind.
Climb commenced overhead KBOS, rising from 698 ft asl to 1,578 ft asl, an increase of 879 ft achieved in 1 minutes while covering 3 nm.
Descent began overhead South Boston, descending from 1,578 ft asl to 96 ft asl, a loss of 1,482 ft in 2 minutes and traversing 7 nm.
The final approach to runway 04R at KBOS was executed from the south, with a heading of 19.0° at 0 nm and an altitude of 79 ft agl.
Landing on runway 04R, which measures 2,693 m, the aircraft recorded a threshold speed of 160 kt, touchdown distance of 77 m, and touchdown speed of 159 kt. The vertical speed at touchdown was minus 184 fpm and runway alignment was very good. Weather at the time was 18 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 270°, a 2 kt crosswind and a 1 kt tailwind.
Total flight distance was 11nm taking 3 and used 9,493 kg of fuel.
The Boeing 737-800 completed the final approach to runway 04R at KBOS Logan International Airport on a heading of 19.0° while 0 nm from the threshold and 79 ft AGL, with a temperature of 18 °C, wind 2 kt from 270°, a 2 kt cross-wind component and a 1 kt tail-wind component. The aircraft’s overall landing score was 92.5 %.
At the threshold the height was reported as good, but the threshold speed was too high at 160 kt.
Touchdown occurred 77 m from the runway threshold, with a touchdown speed of 159 kt that was excessively fast, a vertical rate of -184 fpm that was good, and runway touchdown alignment that was very good.
Reduce the approach and flare speeds to bring the threshold speed within the target range and to achieve a lower touchdown speed, thereby improving energy management while preserving the already good alignment and touchdown point.
