Flight Score
Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.
What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 5.8 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
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.

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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: speed below the reference speed.
At the 500 ft gate: speed below the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,680 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 248 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 27 at Logan International Airport (KBOS). The Boeing 737-800 took off with a takeoff distance of 1,272 meters, which was 60% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 172 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 28 degrees Celsius, a wind speed of 23 knots from 270 degrees, resulting in a 5-knot crosswind and a 22-knot headwind.
As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it reached a speed of 172 knots and began its enroute climb. The climb started overhead the Avco/Lowell Heliport in Lowell, Massachusetts, and continued to an altitude of 12,145 feet above sea level, an increase of 11,065 feet in just 4 minutes. The aircraft covered a distance of 12 nautical miles during this climb phase.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started overhead Dover, Massachusetts, and lasted for 9 minutes. During this phase, the aircraft covered a distance of 29 nautical miles. The cruise phase was followed by a descent, which began 3 miles west of Chepachet, Rhode Island. The descent from 12,970 feet to 3,833 feet above sea level, a decrease of 9,138 feet, took 9 minutes and covered a distance of 34 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started overhead Westerly State Airport in Westerly, Rhode Island, and lasted for 3 minutes. During this phase, the aircraft covered a distance of 14 nautical miles. The cruise phase was followed by another descent, which began overhead Kingston, Rhode Island. The descent from 3,680 feet to 3,110 feet above sea level, a decrease of 570 feet, took 2 minutes and covered a distance of 5 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered yet another level cruise phase, which started 1 mile west of Jamestown, Rhode Island, and lasted for 2 minutes. During this phase, the aircraft covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. The cruise phase was followed by another descent, which began 1 mile west of Middletown, Rhode Island. The descent from 3,063 feet to 1,386 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,677 feet, took 4 minutes and covered a distance of 8 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 34 at Theodore Francis Green State Airport (KPVD) was made from the southeast, heading 321.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,322 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 34 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 248 meters, which was good. The touchdown speed was 135 knots, and the touchdown rate was very heavy at -750 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 22 degrees Celsius, a wind speed of 4 knots from 269 degrees, resulting in a 3-knot crosswind and a 3-knot headwind. The total landing distance was 1,104 meters, which was 66% of the runway length. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 8.9 meters from the centerline.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area from the runway, taking 2 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 112 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 37 minutes. The aircraft used 1,990 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at KPVD Theodore Francis Green State Airport, achieving a score of 91.7%. The final approach to runway 34 was conducted from the south east, with a heading of 321.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,322 feet above ground level.
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a good threshold height, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 136 knots. The touchdown distance of 248 meters was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown speed of 135 knots was also good. However, the touchdown rate was quite heavy, at -750 feet per minute, which may indicate a slightly aggressive approach.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 22°C and a gentle wind of 4 knots from 269°. The crosswind component was minimal at 3 knots, and the headwind component was also 3 knots. These conditions contributed to a smooth landing.
The total landing distance of 1,104 meters was 66% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 8.9 meters from the centerline, which may indicate a slight deviation from the intended path during the landing roll.
Overall, the landing was successful, but there is room for improvement in terms of reducing the touchdown rate and maintaining a more precise runway rollout alignment.
