Work on the flare
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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with five checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 6,979 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,296 ft 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 9 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 27R at Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport (KATL). The takeoff distance was 4,844 feet, which accounted for 41% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 154 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 47°F and a wind speed of 11 knots from a direction of 347°. The crosswind component was 11 knots, while the headwind component was 2 knots. As the aircraft took off, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead KATL. The climb took the aircraft from an altitude of 1,991 feet above sea level to 36,813 feet above sea level, an increase of 34,822 feet, in 19 minutes and covering a distance of 105 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 3 miles northeast of Northlake, South Carolina. This phase lasted for 63 minutes and covered a distance of 541 nautical miles. The enroute descent phase began overhead New Dorp Beach, New York, and took the aircraft from an altitude of 37,023 feet above sea level to 1,301 feet above sea level, a decrease of 35,722 feet, in 33 minutes and covering a distance of 180 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 27 at Logan International Airport (KBOS) was made from the east, with the aircraft heading 256.0° at an altitude of 1,265 feet above ground level and 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was made on runway 27, which had a length of 6,979 feet. The threshold height was slightly above the target, and the threshold speed was also slightly above the target at 144 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 1,303 feet, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 137 knots. The touchdown rate was firm at -335 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 11 feet from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 37°F and a wind speed of 8 knots from a direction of 303°. The crosswind component was 6 knots, while the headwind component was 5 knots.
The total landing distance was 4,203 feet, which accounted for 60% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 4 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 835 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 130 minutes. The aircraft used 10,090 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at KBOS Logan International Airport, with a score of 97.6%. The final approach to runway 27 was initiated from the east, heading 256.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,265 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach was characterized by a slightly above-target threshold height of 59 feet agl and a slightly above-target threshold speed of 144 knots.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's performance was satisfactory, with a touchdown distance of 1,303 feet, which was considered good. However, the touchdown speed of 137 knots was a little fast, indicating that the pilots may have needed to apply more braking to slow down the aircraft. The touchdown rate was firm at -335 feet per minute (fpm), which is within the acceptable range.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 11 feet from the centreline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the pilots' alignment during the final approach. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 37°F and a wind speed of 8 knots at 303°. The crosswind component was 6 knots, while the headwind component was 5 knots.
The total landing distance of 4,203 feet was 60% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilots had successfully controlled the aircraft's rotation and braking during the landing roll. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft coming to a stop within a safe distance from the runway threshold.
