Flight Score
Arrival
Add power on short final to hold 90 kt at the threshold rather than letting speed decay.
What happened: You crossed the threshold at 82 kt against a target of 90 kt, below reference speed.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator, hold 90 kt down to the threshold.
See Arrival Landing
Twenty knots on a monitor produces the visual sensation of about ten. The advice to "taxi at a walking pace" cannot fix this, because your sense of walking pace is exactly the thing that's broken. Put the groundspeed readout in your scan and obey it for the next fifty flights, the way a student pilot leans on the airspeed indicator before learning to read attitude.

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 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 8,383 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 727 ft 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 22R at KBOS Logan International Airport, covering 2 nm in 10 minutes.
During the departure roll on runway 22R, the aircraft used 1,640 ft of runway, representing 23 % of the available length, and rotated at 92 kt. Ambient conditions were 69 °F with a wind of 19 kt from 220°, providing a 7 kt cross-wind component and an 18 kt head-wind component.
Climb commenced overhead MA17 Avco/Lowell Heliport, ascending from 1,023 ft asl to 21,870 ft asl, a gain of 20,847 ft achieved in 16 minutes while covering 49 nm.
The first cruise segment began 1 mile west of West Wareham, Massachusetts, and continued for 27 minutes, during which the aircraft flew 105 nm at level altitude.
Descent began over 03NY Talmage Field, Riverhead, New York, with the aircraft descending from 22,000 ft asl to 3,000 ft asl, a loss of 19,000 ft in 17 minutes while covering 39 nm.
A brief level cruise followed overhead Jericho, New York, lasting 3 minutes and covering 6 nm.
A second descent started over Searingtown, New York, with altitude decreasing from 2,902 ft asl to 1,292 ft asl, a reduction of 1,610 ft in 3 minutes and a distance of 5 nm.
Final approach to runway 22L at KJFK John F. Kennedy International Airport reduced altitude from 1,313 ft agl to 22 ft agl in 138 seconds, and the aircraft passed the stabilisation gates as required.
Landing on runway 22L, which is 8,383 ft long, was executed with a threshold speed slightly below target at 82 kt. Touchdown occurred 727 ft down the runway at 69 kt, with a vertical speed of minus 30 fpm and excellent alignment. Local weather at the time was 70 °F with a wind of 11 kt from 170°, a 7 kt cross-wind component and an 8 kt head-wind component.
The total landing roll measured 3,447 ft, representing 41 % of the runway, and rollout alignment was perfect.
After landing, the aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 42 minutes, covering an additional 2 nm.
In summary, the flight covered a total of 213 nm, required 83 minutes of elapsed time, and consumed 565 lb of fuel.
