Flight Score
Arrival
Stop the rotation once the sink is arrested at 0.3 ft, holding the normal landing attitude instead of continuing to pull back.
What happened: The flare pitch reached 2.5°, well above this type's ground attitude, and touchdown followed at a sink rate of 280 fpm. Over-rotating the flare like this usually carries through to a firm or hard touchdown.
Watch for: Attitude indicator: hold the normal landing attitude once sink is arrested at 0.3 ft.

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.

Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 7,641 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,206 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft taxiing from the parking to the runway at Orlando International Airport, taking 7 minutes and covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 17R, with the aircraft lifting off at a speed of 157 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 84 degrees Fahrenheit, with a wind speed of 4 knots at 239 degrees.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it began its ascent 2 miles west of Lake Hart, Florida. The climb from 1,092 feet above sea level to 37,009 feet above sea level took 21 minutes and covered a distance of 133 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a level cruise, starting 3 miles east of Fernandina Beach Municipal Airport in Florida, and lasted for 34 minutes, covering 479 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began its descent 8 miles west of Mears Field in Cape Charles, Virginia, descending from 37,033 feet above sea level to 23,929 feet above sea level in just 5 minutes, covering a distance of 23 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting 2 miles southwest of Onancock, Virginia, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering 13 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began another climb 1 mile southeast of Nelsonia, Virginia, climbing from 23,620 feet above sea level to 36,992 feet above sea level in 8 minutes, covering a distance of 70 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting 8 miles east of Murphy's Landing Airport in Delaware, and lasted for 18 minutes, covering 150 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began its final descent 5 miles northeast of Fort Salonga, New York, descending from 37,000 feet above sea level to 1,363 feet above sea level in 21 minutes, covering a distance of 126 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 04R at Logan International Airport, flying from the south at a heading of 20.0 degrees, 4 nautical miles from the runway, and 1,336 feet above ground level.
The aircraft landed on runway 04R, with a runway length of 7,641 feet. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed at 144 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 1,205 feet, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 139 knots. The touchdown rate was firm at -361 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The aircraft then taxied to the parking from the runway, taking 8 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,002 nautical miles, taking 126 minutes, and the aircraft used 13,068 pounds of fuel.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed on runway 04R at KBOS Logan International Airport, achieving a high score of 98.5%. The aircraft approached the runway from the south, heading 20.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,336 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot maintained a steady course, ensuring a precise final approach to the runway.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed on the runway with a threshold height that was considered good. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 143 kt, registering at 144 kt. Despite this minor deviation, the touchdown distance of 1,205 feet was within acceptable limits. The touchdown speed of 139 kt was a bit faster than desired, but the firm touchdown rate of -361 feet per minute (fpm) ensured a stable landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 27°F and a wind speed of 15 kt from a direction of 89°. This resulted in a crosswind of 14 kt and a headwind of 5 kt, which the pilot effectively managed during the landing. The total landing distance of 3,525 feet was 46% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll.
The runway rollout alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's skill and control during the landing phase. Overall, the Airbus A320's landing on runway 04R at KBOS Logan International Airport was a successful and precise operation, with the aircraft meeting most of the desired parameters.
