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 16 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Begin the flare with progressive back pressure and keep it coming until the sink is arrested, rather than flying it on flat.
What happened: The nose was barely raised in the flare and little of the sink was taken out, flying the aircraft onto the runway. This pattern usually carries through to a firm touchdown with a noticeable sink rate.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a smoothly reducing sink through the normal flare band, not a steady rate into the runway.
There are several things that can go wrong during the flare, carrying too much speed over the threshold, starting the flare at the wrong height and inconsistent flight control inputs, all contribute to a poor flare resulting in a hard touchdown or a float down the runway.

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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,930 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,930 m of the 3,377 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 560 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Airbus A350-1000 taxied from the parking area to runway 27L at London Heathrow Airport (EGLL) in 8 minutes, covering a distance of 2 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 27L, the aircraft accelerated over a takeoff distance of 2,170 m, representing 60 % of the runway, and achieved liftoff at 164 kt; ambient temperature was 22 °C with wind 11 kt from 299°, a 6 kt cross-wind component and a 10 kt head-wind component.
Climb commenced overhead Horton, advancing from 1,105 ft asl to 33,793 ft asl-a gain of 32,688 ft-over 23 minutes while traversing 156 nm.
Cruise began 2 mi south-east of Brinscall, Lancashire, and persisted for 584 minutes, during which the aircraft covered 4,548 nm.
Descent was initiated 11 mi west of 43CA Dick Taylor Airstrip, Kelso, CA, descending from 35,104 ft asl to 1,373 ft asl, a loss of 33,731 ft in 24 minutes and covering 134 nm.
The final approach to runway 25L at Los Angeles International Airport (KLAX) was flown from the east on a heading of 263.0° at 4 nm and 1,234 ft agl.
Landing on runway 25L, which is 3,377 m long, was executed with a threshold speed of 144 kt; touchdown occurred 187 m beyond the touchdown zone at 138 kt and a firm rate of minus 336 fpm, with alignment described as very good. Local weather reported a temperature of 19 °C, wind 5 kt from 249°, a 1 kt cross-wind and a 5 kt head-wind. The total landing distance measured 1,893 m, equivalent to 56 % of the runway.
Runway rollout alignment was noted as very good following touchdown.
The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in less than 1 minute, covering less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 4,848 nm, required 640 minutes of elapsed time, and consumed 75,179 kg of fuel.
The Emirates aircraft, A6-EVA, successfully landed at KBOS Logan International Airport with an impressive score of 98.2%. The aircraft approached the runway from the northwest, heading 133.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,287 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a precise final approach, taking into account the local weather conditions.
The temperature at the time of landing was 22°C, with a moderate wind blowing at 13 knots from a direction of 80°. This resulted in a crosswind of 10 knots and a headwind of 7 knots. Despite these conditions, the pilot managed to maintain a stable approach and touchdown. The threshold speed was good, reaching 141 knots, and the touchdown distance was also satisfactory at 231 meters.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was 137 knots, which was within the acceptable range. However, the touchdown rate was slightly below average at -235 feet per minute (fpm), indicating a slightly longer deceleration period. Nevertheless, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's skill and attention to detail.
The total landing distance of 1,171 meters was 42% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. This suggests that the pilot had a good understanding of the aircraft's performance and was able to manage its speed and descent effectively. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing of Emirates A6-EVA at KBOS Logan International Airport was a success, with the pilot demonstrating excellent skills and judgment in challenging weather conditions. The high score of 98.2% reflects the pilot's ability to execute a precise and controlled landing, minimizing the risk of any potential issues or complications.
