The flight in question involved an Airbus A320 aircraft taking off from runway 34L at Denver International Airport (KDEN), a major airport in Colorado, United States. As the plane began its departure, it took 6 minutes to taxi from the parking to the runway, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles (nm).
At 88 °F, with a moderate headwind of 3 kt and crosswind of 3 kt, the aircraft successfully departed runway 34L. Its takeoff distance covered 52% of the 8,342 foot runway. With a liftoff speed of 163 kt, the plane soared into the air, marking the beginning of its journey.
The initial climb started approximately 2 miles north of the airport and continued until the aircraft reached an altitude of 36,749 feet above sea level (asl), an increase of 30,420 feet in 18 minutes. This climb covered 127 nautical miles.
Following the climb, the plane entered level cruise, starting 7 miles north of Haigler Airport (2NE9), in the state of Nebraska. This steady level flight lasted for 155 minutes and covered a significant 1,242 nautical miles.
The en route descent started around 3 miles northwest of Schoharie in New York State and lasted for 28 minutes. During this time, the plane descended by 36,060 feet in altitude, landing at an altitude of 1,305 feet asl and traveling 151 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached Logan International Airport (KBOS) in Massachusetts, it conducted a final approach to runway 22L from the north, flying at a heading of 200.0°, 4 nautical miles from the airport. The descent phase concluded with a smooth landing on runway 22L.
The weather conditions at KBOS were characterized by a temperature of 61 °F, a moderate headwind of 1 kt, and a crosswind of 2 kt. Although the touchdown speed of 127 kt was slightly above the recommended threshold speed, the landing point was 193 ft beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown rate was fair at -211 ft per minute (fpm). The plane touched down 20 ft from the centerline, which can be classified as a slightly misaligned touchdown.
With the runways at KBOS ranging from 8,251 to 7,641 feet, the Airbus A320 landed smoothly, covering 62% of the 7,641-foot runway. The total landing distance of 4,707 feet was a significant achievement. After landing, the aircraft rolled to a stop, with its alignment being very good.
Taxiing the plane to the designated parking took approximately 5 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. With a total flight distance of 1,529 nautical miles and a flight time of 214 minutes, the plane utilized 17,254 pounds of fuel to successfully complete its journey.

The Airbus A320 landed safely at KBOS Logan International Airport, demonstrating a high level of proficiency in the execution of the landing phase. With a final approach from the north at a heading of 200.0°, the aircraft was flying at an altitude of 1,272 feet above ground level (agl) and 4 nautical miles from the runway at touchdown.
As the aircraft approached the runway, it maintained a good threshold height and achieved the recommended threshold speed of 133 knots. However, the touchdown point slightly exceeded the designated touchdown zone, being 193 feet beyond it. The touchdown speed of 127 knots was slightly above the recommended speed, but it did not compromise the overall safety of thelanding.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft presented a fair touchdown rate of -211 feet per minute (fpm), which is a relatively acceptable value. Nevertheless, there is room for improvement to ensure that the pilot complies with the recommended rate.
Further examination of the landing performance revealed that the aircraft landed on the centerline with a slight misalignment of 20 feet. This misalignment, however, did not appear to have a significant impact on the overall safety of the landing.
Given the prevailing weather conditions, the landing would have been facilitated by a gentle headwind of 1 knot and a slight tailwind of 2 knots. With the runway length being 7,641 feet, and the landing distance being 62% of this length, the runway provided ample room for the aircraft to come to a safe stop.
The post-touchdown performance was impressive, with the aircraft exhibiting excellent runway rollout alignment, indicating a high level of pilot skill and control during the landing phase.
