Flight Score
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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,804 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 621 m past the threshold — beyond 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 8 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, an RJ85, then departed from runway 27R at Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport, with a takeoff distance of 1,304 meters, which was 36% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 140 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 29 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 13 knots at 210 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 12 knots and a headwind of 7 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile south of College Park, Georgia, and climbing from an altitude of 2,004 feet above sea level to 31,655 feet above sea level, an increase of 29,651 feet, in 24 minutes and covering a distance of 114 nautical miles.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, starting 2 miles northwest of the SC32 Oconee Memorial Hospital Heliport in Seneca, South Carolina. This cruise phase lasted for 91 minutes and covered a distance of 663 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 3 miles northeast of West Greenwich, Rhode Island, and descending from 31,395 feet above sea level to 2,197 feet above sea level, a decrease of 29,198 feet, in 9 minutes and covering a distance of 42 nautical miles.
The aircraft then experienced a second enroute climb, starting 1 mile southeast of Milton, Massachusetts, and climbing from 2,190 feet above sea level to 3,937 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,747 feet, in 3 minutes and covering a distance of 11 nautical miles. This was followed by a brief level cruise phase, starting 1 mile west of Hanover, Massachusetts, which lasted for 3 minutes and covered a distance of 6 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began its final descent, starting overhead North Scituate, Massachusetts, and descending from 3,921 feet above sea level to 1,276 feet above sea level, a decrease of 2,646 feet, in 3 minutes and covering a distance of 9 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 33L at Logan International Airport, flying from the southeast and heading 315.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,247 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway.
The landing on runway 33L was successful, with the touchdown point being 288 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 107 knots, which was good, and the touchdown rate was smooth at -129 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the runway rollout alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 14 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 7 knots at 119 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a tailwind of 7 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,230 meters, which was 44% of the runway. 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 853 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 145 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 5,796 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The aircraft in question, an RJ85, successfully landed at KBOS Logan International Airport on runway 33L. The final approach was initiated from the southeast, heading 315.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,247 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft demonstrated a high level of proficiency in its approach, with a threshold height well above the target, indicating a safe margin for landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was recorded at 107 knots, which is within the acceptable range for a safe landing. The touchdown point was located 288 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, but this is not considered a significant deviation given the overall performance of the aircraft. The touchdown rate was smooth, at -129 feet per minute (fpm), which suggests a controlled descent and minimal impact on the aircraft's landing gear.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 14°C and a wind speed of 7 knots from 119°. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a tailwind of 7 knots, which the aircraft successfully managed during the landing. The runway length at KBOS Logan International Airport is 2,804 meters, providing a sufficient margin for the aircraft's landing distance.
The total landing distance was recorded at 1,230 meters, which accounts for 44% of the available runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain a high level of control and precision throughout the approach and landing phases. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, suggesting that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively to bring the aircraft to a stop.
Overall, the landing of the RJ85 at KBOS Logan International Airport was a successful and well-executed operation, with the aircraft demonstrating a high level of proficiency and control throughout the approach and landing phases. The score of 87.6% reflects the aircraft's performance and is a testament to the skills of the pilots involved.
