Flight Score
Departure
Hold the nose down until the speed reaches 141 kt, then rotate.
What happened: You started the rotation at 121 kt, 20 kt before the 141 kt rotation speed.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 141 kt at rotation

Arrival
In the last part of the flare, hold a little more back pressure to fully arrest the sink before the mains touch down.
What happened: Threshold speed and height were within limits, and the flare began on time and arrested the sink normally; even so, the touchdown rate was 184 fpm, a firm touchdown.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a smooth, gentle rate at touchdown
Between four hundred and a thousand feet you're heavy, close to the ground and still carrying flap, and speed is the margin holding all three apart. Slow here doesn't feel like anything — the aeroplane climbs, the nose is up, nothing complains — right up until a turn, a gust or a bank tightens the wing's job and the margin is already gone. The fix is rarely "fly faster", it's lowering the nose a degree and letting the speed build before the next thing you do. Pitch buys altitude, speed buys options, and at this height options are the scarcer of the two.

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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 9,020 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,401 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from St. Louis Lambert International Airport (KSTL), the Boeing 737-800 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 9 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. With the local weather conditions at 69°F and a gentle headwind of 4 knots, the aircraft took off from runway 30L, utilizing 4,009 feet of the available runway length, which accounted for 39% of the total. The liftoff speed was achieved at 140 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it began its ascent from 1,531 feet above sea level, eventually reaching 38,990 feet, an increase of 37,460 feet in 21 minutes and covering 155 nautical miles. The enroute climb phase was followed by a level cruise, which lasted for 77 minutes and covered 655 nautical miles, with the aircraft flying at a steady altitude 2 miles east of Farmersburg, Indiana. The flight then entered a series of descents and level cruises, with the aircraft navigating through various altitudes and airspaces, including a descent from 39,000 feet to 6,017 feet in 19 minutes and covering 121 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 22L at Logan International Airport (KBOS) was initiated from the north, with the aircraft flying at 4 nautical miles and 1,304 feet above ground level. The landing was executed with a threshold speed slightly above the target at 141 knots, and the touchdown distance was 1,410 feet, which was within the acceptable range. The total landing distance was 3,186 feet, accounting for 42% of the available 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 971 nautical miles, and the aircraft used 11,666 pounds of fuel during the journey, which lasted for 144 minutes.
The Boeing 737-800 touched down on runway 22L at KBOS Logan International Airport with a score of 98.9%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north, heading 200.0° at 4 nm and 1,304 ft above ground level. The approach quality was good, with a satisfactory threshold height. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 141 kt, indicating a slight deviation from the optimal landing speed.
The touchdown characteristics were generally good, with a touchdown distance of 1,410 ft, which was within acceptable limits. The touchdown speed of 134 kt was a little fast, but the touchdown rate of -173 fpm was good, indicating a controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft centered on the runway. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 48°F, did not appear to have any significant impact on the landing.
The total landing distance of 3,186 ft was 42% of the runway length, which is within the acceptable range. The runway rollout alignment was very good, with the aircraft maintaining its centerline alignment throughout the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was satisfactory, with only minor deviations from the optimal landing parameters.
