Flight Score
Arrival
Add power earlier on final to hold VREF of 142 kt by the gates rather than let speed decay.
What happened: The approach was flown too slow through the stabilisation gates, crossing the threshold at 136 kt against a VREF of 142 kt.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator against 142 kt from the first stabilisation gate onward.
See Arrival Approach
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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
At the 500 ft gate: speed 6 kt SLOW on the reference speed of 142 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 8,851 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,125 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport, the Boeing 737-800 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 10 minutes and covered 2 nautical miles. As it reached the runway, the aircraft started its departure roll on runway 30R, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 154 knots. The takeoff distance of 4,671 feet was 59% of the runway length, with a local temperature of 96°F and wind conditions of 6 knots at 259°, resulting in a negligible crosswind and headwind.
As the aircraft climbed out of Minneapolis, it began its enroute climb, reaching an altitude of 36,696 feet in 29 minutes and covering 206 nautical miles. The climb was a significant increase of 34,960 feet from the initial altitude of 1,735 feet. Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, lasting 42 minutes and covering 665 nautical miles, before starting its descent over Jerry Phibbs Airport in Schenectady, New York. The descent from 37,001 feet to 6,291 feet took 21 minutes and covered 137 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a brief level cruise phase over Hull, Massachusetts, before beginning its final descent over Braintree, Massachusetts.
The Boeing 737-800 landed on runway 04R at Logan International Airport, with a touchdown distance of 1,107 feet and a touchdown speed of 132 knots. The touchdown rate was -178 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The total landing distance was 3,418 feet, which was 45% of the runway length. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took 5 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,041 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 115 minutes, with a fuel consumption of 14,851 pounds.
The Boeing 737-800 touched down smoothly on runway 04R at KBOS Logan International Airport, showcasing exceptional approach quality. The aircraft descended from 1,261 feet above ground level (agl) at a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway threshold, aligning itself with the runway heading of 20.0 degrees. The approach was characterized by a stable and controlled descent, culminating in a good threshold height.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft demonstrated a satisfactory threshold speed of 137 knots, with a corresponding touchdown distance of 1,107 feet. The touchdown speed of 132 knots was also within acceptable limits, and the resulting touchdown rate of -178 feet per minute was well within the desired range. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating a high degree of precision and control during the final stages of the approach. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 94 degrees Fahrenheit and a gentle tailwind of 3 knots, contributed to a relatively straightforward landing.
The aircraft's rollout was equally impressive, with perfect alignment along the runway centerline. The total landing distance of 3,418 feet, which accounted for 45% of the runway length, was well within the acceptable range. Overall, the landing was deemed a success, with a score of 99.8% reflecting the high level of proficiency and control demonstrated by the crew throughout the approach, touchdown, and rollout phases.
