Maintain the centreline
A small uncorrected heading error at 40 knots becomes a metre of offset per second by 100 knots, noticed only at rotation, producing a crabbed liftoff. Root cause is nearly always eyes on the tape instead of the far end of the runway. Small heading changes displace a distant point visibly long before the nearby centreline stripes look wrong.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,329 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 306 m touchdown sits inside 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 8 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a CRJ700ER, then departed from runway 31 at LaGuardia Airport (KLGA) in New York. The takeoff distance was 1,199 meters, which accounted for 56% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 154 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 7 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 8 knots from a direction of 210 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 8 knots and a headwind of 0 knots. The aircraft climbed to an altitude of 20,348 feet above sea level (asl) over Port Morris, New York, after taking off. The climb from 1,040 feet asl to 20,348 feet asl was achieved in 11 minutes, covering a distance of 55 nautical miles.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 3 miles northeast of Woodbridge, Connecticut. This phase lasted for 7 minutes and covered a distance of 46 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent from 20,469 feet asl to 4,680 feet asl over the CT43 Spruce Airport in Jewett City, Connecticut. The descent took 16 minutes to complete, covering a distance of 77 nautical miles.
The aircraft entered another level cruise phase, this time starting 10 miles northeast of Scituate, Massachusetts. This phase lasted for 4 minutes and covered a distance of 16 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent from 4,650 feet asl to 2,860 feet asl over Marblehead, Massachusetts. The descent took only 2 minutes to complete, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles.
The aircraft entered another level cruise phase, starting 2 miles southwest of Essex, Massachusetts. This phase lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 7 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent from 2,631 feet asl to 1,298 feet asl over Peabody, Massachusetts. The descent took 2 minutes to complete, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 22L at Logan International Airport (KBOS) was made from the north, with the aircraft heading 200.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,275 feet above ground level (agl) and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was made on runway 22L, which had a length of 2,329 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 135 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 307 meters, but the touchdown speed was slightly fast at 127 knots. The touchdown rate was very hard at -511 feet per minute (fpm). The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 1 degree Celsius, with a wind speed of 5 knots from a direction of 210 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 5 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,115 meters, which accounted for 48% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 8 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 221 nautical miles, and the flight took 59 minutes to complete. The aircraft used 1,329 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The CRJ700ER aircraft successfully landed on runway 22L at KBOS Logan International Airport, achieving a score of 92.2%. The final approach was initiated from the north, heading 200.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,275 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, indicating a well-executed approach.
Upon touchdown, the threshold speed was recorded at 135 knots, which is within the acceptable range. However, the touchdown speed of 127 knots was slightly faster than expected, resulting in a harder touchdown rate of -511 feet per minute (fpm). Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's skill and control during the landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 1°C and a wind speed of 5 knots from 210°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 5 knots, which likely contributed to the faster-than-expected touchdown speed.
The total landing distance of 1,115 meters was 48% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, suggesting that the pilot maintained control and stability during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score despite a few minor deviations from the expected performance. The pilot's skills and experience were evident in the execution of the landing, and the aircraft's performance was satisfactory under the given weather conditions.
