Flight Score
Departure
Rotate sooner, bringing the nose up at 181 kt rather than letting speed build further.
What happened: You lifted off at 200 kt against a rotation target of 181 kt, rotating late in the ground roll.
Watch for: Watch airspeed and rotate at the target of 181 kt.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Begin raising the nose sooner, at 11 ft, rather than waiting until 7.3 ft.
What happened: The flare began late at 7.3 ft, below the normal band.
Watch for: Radio altimeter approaching 11 ft as the cue to start the flare.
See Arrival Landing
A typical trainer rotates in the mid-50s of knots - a 172 at around 55 KIAS, climbing out at a Vy in the low 70s, though check your own POH rather than memorising Cessna's numbers - and the transferable rule is that Vr sits just above the stall speed in takeoff configuration. Rotate early because "it felt ready" and the aircraft lifts off inside ground effect, where induced drag is reduced, then climbs out of it into more drag. On a marginal-performance day the result is an aircraft that lifts off and then refuses to climb, sagging back towards 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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,875 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,875 m of the 2,329 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 540 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 10 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 777-300, then departed from runway 17L at Shanghai Pudong International Airport. The takeoff distance was 2,849 meters, which accounted for 71% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 200 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of 23°C, with a wind speed of 10 knots at 210°.
As the aircraft climbed out of Shanghai Pudong International Airport, it began its enroute climb, which started 2 miles south of the airport. The climb took 20 minutes and covered a distance of 122 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from 1,020 feet above sea level to 30,867 feet above sea level, an increase of 29,847 feet. The enroute level cruise that followed lasted 234 minutes and covered a distance of 1,992 nautical miles, with the aircraft flying at a latitude of 31.641065 and a longitude of 124.1283596.
The aircraft then began another enroute climb, this time from a latitude of 48.8987805 and a longitude of 162.0532798. The climb took only 3 minutes and covered a distance of 31 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from 29,172 feet above sea level to 31,079 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,908 feet. The subsequent enroute level cruise lasted 182 minutes and covered a distance of 1,484 nautical miles, with the aircraft flying at a latitude of 49.1935209 and a longitude of 162.731345.
The aircraft continued its journey, beginning another enroute climb 2 miles south east of Nushagak Airport in Alaska. The climb took 3 minutes and covered a distance of 29 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from 30,223 feet above sea level to 32,302 feet above sea level, an increase of 2,079 feet. The subsequent enroute level cruise lasted 211 minutes and covered a distance of 1,914 nautical miles, with the aircraft flying 6 miles north east of Levelock Airport in Alaska.
The aircraft then began another enroute climb, this time from a position 34 miles east of Grand Rapids Airport in Manitoba, Canada. The climb took 3 minutes and covered a distance of 32 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from 33,852 feet above sea level to 35,773 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,922 feet. The subsequent enroute level cruise lasted 474 minutes and covered a distance of 1,130 nautical miles, with the aircraft flying 9 miles west of Poplar River Airport in Manitoba, Canada.
As the aircraft began its descent, it started from a position 1 mile south east of Latham in New York. The descent took 21 minutes and covered a distance of 126 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from 35,623 feet above sea level to 3,051 feet above sea level, a decrease of 32,572 feet. The subsequent enroute level cruise lasted only 5 minutes and covered a distance of 14 nautical miles, with the aircraft flying 1 mile west of Snow Airport in Massachusetts.
The final approach to runway 22L at Logan International Airport was made from the north, with the aircraft flying at a heading of 200.0° and at an altitude of 1,248 feet above ground level. The landing was made on the runway, which had a length of 2,329 meters. The touchdown speed was 139 knots, which was slightly fast
The Boeing 777-300 aircraft successfully landed at KBOS Logan International Airport on runway 22L, achieving a score of 93.6%. The final approach was initiated from the north, heading 200.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,248 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 147 knots.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 123 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is slightly outside the recommended area. The touchdown speed of 139 knots was a bit faster than ideal, but the touchdown rate of -95 feet per minute (fpm) was excellent, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. However, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 11.1 meters from the centerline, which may have contributed to the slightly off-center touchdown.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 6°C, with a wind speed of 6 knots from 170°. The crosswind component was minimal at 3 knots, while the headwind component was 5 knots. These conditions were relatively favorable for the landing, with a minimal impact on the aircraft's performance.
The total landing distance of 1,793 meters was 77% of the available runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 11.3 meters from the centerline, which may have resulted from the initial touchdown position being off-center. Overall, the landing was successful, but there is room for improvement in terms of touchdown speed and alignment.
