Flight Score
Arrival
Hold approach power to keep the threshold speed at 81 kt instead of letting it decay below it.
What happened: The sink was arrested at 9.9 ft while already below VREF at 79 kt, and the aircraft settled as the speed ran out - this pattern usually carries through to a bounce at touchdown.
Watch for: Watch the airspeed indicator against 81 kt on short final.
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.
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: sink rate above what the glideslope needed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,804 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 297 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with taxiing from the parking area to the runway, which took 12 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Vision Jet, then departed from runway 24 at Teterboro Airport (KTEB), with a takeoff distance of 423 meters, which accounted for 23% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 92 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots at 270 degrees. The crosswind and headwind were both 1 knot. The enroute climb started overhead Wood-Ridge, New Jersey, and the aircraft climbed from 1,015 feet above sea level to 16,869 feet above sea level, an increase of 15,854 feet in 8 minutes, covering a distance of 19 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 1 mile north of Montebello, New York, and lasted for 23 minutes, covering a distance of 117 nautical miles. The enroute descent started 2 miles southwest of West Warwick, Rhode Island, and the aircraft descended from 16,469 feet above sea level to 1,746 feet above sea level, a decrease of 14,723 feet in 14 minutes, covering a distance of 48 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 33L at Logan International Airport (KBOS) was made from the southeast, heading 316.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,706 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 33L was successful, with a touchdown distance of 295 meters, which was good. However, the touchdown speed of 69 knots was a little fast, and the touchdown rate of -248 feet per minute was fair. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.0 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were the same as during takeoff, with a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots at 269 degrees. The crosswind and headwind were both 1 knot. The total landing distance was 630 meters, which accounted for 22% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
After landing, the aircraft taxiied to the parking area, which took 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 192 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 55 minutes. The aircraft used 233 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Vision Jet has successfully landed at KBOS Logan International Airport, achieving a score of 96.5%. The aircraft approached the runway from the southeast, heading 316.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,706 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a precise final approach, aligning the aircraft with the runway 33L, which has a length of 2,804 meters.
Upon touchdown, the threshold height was satisfactory, and the threshold speed was well above the target at 80 knots. However, the touchdown speed of 69 knots was slightly faster than desired, indicating that the pilot may have applied a bit too much flare during the landing. The touchdown rate of -248 feet per minute (fpm) was fair, suggesting that the aircraft touched down with a moderate amount of deceleration.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the pilot's alignment during the final approach. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 16°C and a light wind of 2 knots at 269°. The crosswind and headwind components were minimal, at 1 knot each.
The total landing distance of 630 meters was 22% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase and aligned it with the centerline of the runway.
Overall, the Vision Jet's landing at KBOS Logan International Airport was a successful one, with the pilot executing a precise final approach and maintaining control of the aircraft during the touchdown and rollout phases. However, there is room for improvement in terms of touchdown speed and alignment with the centerline.
