Flight Score
Monitor your speed
Below 10,000 ft you are typically limited to 250 kt indicated (a US rule that much of the world mirrors in some form, though not universally). This forces a deceleration around 10,000 ft whether the profile wants one or not, so plan for it rather than discovering it.

One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 9,200 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,146 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner taxiing from the parking area to the runway at LOWW Vienna International Airport, taking 5 minutes and covering a distance of 3 nautical miles. Departure roll occurred on runway 29, with a takeoff distance of 4,699 feet, which was 41% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 166 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 42°F, with a wind speed of 19 knots at 280°. The crosswind component was 5 knots, while the headwind component was 18 knots. As the aircraft departed, it began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile west of the airport and reaching an altitude of 32,208 feet above sea level (asl) in 19 minutes, covering a distance of 104 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise phase began 1 mile northwest of Stroheim, Austria, and lasted for 72 minutes, covering a distance of 467 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another enroute climb phase, starting 24 miles northwest of Domburg, Netherlands, and reaching an altitude of 36,390 feet asl in 6 minutes, covering a distance of 45 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise phase resumed 20 miles east of Walton-on-the-Naze, England, and lasted for 243 minutes, covering a distance of 1,723 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another enroute climb phase, starting at a specific latitude and longitude, and reaching an altitude of 40,606 feet asl in 4 minutes, covering a distance of 104 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise phase began again, this time starting 1 mile northeast of Waldoboro, Maine, and lasted for 32 minutes, covering a distance of 955 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 1 mile northeast of Waldoboro and descending to 4,708 feet asl in 24 minutes, covering a distance of 124 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise phase resumed once more, starting 3 miles northeast of Hull, Massachusetts, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 9 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 2 miles northeast of Scituate, Massachusetts, and descending to 1,293 feet asl in 7 minutes, covering a distance of 12 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 33L at KBOS Logan International Airport was made from the southeast, with a heading of 315.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,266 feet above ground level (agl). The landing occurred on the runway, with a threshold speed slightly above the target at 141 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 1,153 feet, while the touchdown speed was fast at 136 knots. The touchdown rate was fair at -266 feet per minute (fpm).
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 16 feet from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 36°F, with a wind speed of 12 knots at 240°. The crosswind component was 11 knots, while the headwind component was 3 knots. The total landing distance was 3,832 feet, which was 42% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
The aircraft then taxied to the parking area from the runway, taking 3 minutes and covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 3,552 nautical miles, taking 422 minutes, and the aircraft used 102,742 pounds of fuel.
The Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner successfully landed at KBOS Logan International Airport on runway 33L, achieving a score of 97.8%. The aircraft approached the runway from the southeast, heading 315.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,266 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot maintained a good threshold height, which is a crucial aspect of a safe landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 140 knots, registering at 141 knots. This minor deviation from the target speed did not significantly impact the overall landing performance. The touchdown distance of 1,153 feet was within acceptable limits, indicating that the pilot had sufficient control over the aircraft's descent.
However, the touchdown speed of 136 knots was slightly faster than desired, which may have contributed to a fair touchdown rate of -266 feet per minute (fpm). A faster touchdown speed can result in a more rapid deceleration, which may be challenging for the aircraft's brakes to manage. Nevertheless, the pilot maintained control of the aircraft, and the runway touchdown position was only slightly misaligned by 16 feet from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 36°F and a wind speed of 12 knots from 240°. The crosswind component was 11 knots, while the headwind component was 3 knots. These conditions presented a moderate challenge for the pilot, but they were still able to execute a safe landing.
The total landing distance of 3,832 feet was 42% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot had successfully transitioned from the landing phase to the rollout phase without any issues.
Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated good control and decision-making skills throughout the approach and landing phases. However, there is room for improvement in terms of touchdown speed and touchdown rate.
