Flight Score
Departure
Roll the wings level with aileron and hold bank within limits as you establish the climb.
What happened: Bank increased to 1.3° during the initial climb, and wings stayed over-banked at 7.6° into the next climb segment.
Watch for: Attitude indicator bank angle, aiming to keep it near wings-level
Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without it.

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 5,037 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,037 ft of the 9,200 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 2,231 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Airbus A320 taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Charleston International Airport, taking 16 minutes and covering a distance of 4 nautical miles. Departure roll occurred on runway 15, with the aircraft taking off after covering 5,783 feet of the runway, which accounted for 64% of its length. The liftoff speed was 156 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of Charleston International Airport, it encountered local weather conditions of 63°F temperature and a 3-knot wind at 50°. The enroute climb started 1 mile south east of the airport and continued for 20 minutes, covering a distance of 124 nautical miles and increasing the aircraft's altitude from 990 feet above sea level to 38,963 feet. This climb was a significant ascent, with the aircraft rising by 37,973 feet.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 2 miles south east of Curtis L Brown Jr Field Elizabethtown in North Carolina. This cruise lasted for 34 minutes and covered a distance of 548 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting 1 mile north west of Barrington in Rhode Island, and continued to descend from 38,260 feet to 9,999 feet in just 9 minutes, covering a distance of 53 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, this time starting 8 miles south of Gloucester in Massachusetts and lasting for 5 minutes, covering a distance of 19 nautical miles. The descent phase resumed, starting 2 miles west of Rowley in Massachusetts, and the aircraft descended from 10,009 feet to 1,284 feet in 7 minutes, covering a distance of 18 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 15R at Logan International Airport was made from the north west, with the aircraft heading 135.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,256 feet above ground level. The landing occurred on the runway, with the aircraft touching down 874 feet beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was slightly above the target at 136 knots, but the touchdown rate was firm at -359 feet per minute.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 21°F temperature and a 12-knot wind at 301°, resulting in a crosswind of 3 knots and a tailwind of 12 knots. The total landing distance was 4,779 feet, accounting for 52% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, and the aircraft taxied to the parking area in just 5 minutes, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 773 nautical miles, taking 95 minutes to complete, and the aircraft used 9,840 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at KBOS Logan International Airport on runway 15R, achieving a score of 94.7%. The aircraft approached the runway from the northwest, heading 135.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,256 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot maintained a good threshold height, which is a crucial aspect of a safe landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 135 kt, registering at 136 kt. However, the touchdown point was 874 feet beyond the designated touchdown zone, which may indicate a slight deviation from the intended landing spot. The touchdown speed of 131 kt was also a bit faster than the target speed, which could have contributed to the slightly longer landing distance.
The aircraft's touchdown rate was firm, measuring -359 feet per minute (fpm), which is a relatively steep descent rate. Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained a stable and controlled approach. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 21°F and a wind speed of 12 kt from 301°, resulting in a crosswind of 3 kt and a tailwind of 12 kt.
The total landing distance of 4,779 feet was 52% of the available runway length of 9,200 feet, which is a relatively short landing distance. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase and brought it to a stop safely. Overall, the landing was successful, with the pilot demonstrating good control and precision throughout the approach and landing phases.
