Slow the descent 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.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
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 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.
The 340 m 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 5 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 07L at Los Angeles International Airport (KLAX). The takeoff distance was 1,465 meters, which accounted for 43% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 169 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots at 90 degrees. The crosswind was negligible, but there was a headwind of 2 knots. The enroute climb began approximately 1 mile west of Lennox, California, and the aircraft ascended from 1,154 feet above sea level to 37,032 feet above sea level, an increase of 35,879 feet, in 23 minutes and covering 160 nautical miles.
After reaching cruising altitude, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 9 miles south of the 72CL Iron Mountain Pumping Plant Airport in Desert Center, California. This phase lasted for 247 minutes and covered a distance of 1,998 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started overhead Green Island, New York. The descent from 35,287 feet above sea level to 1,274 feet above sea level, a decrease of 34,013 feet, took 25 minutes and covered 125 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 33L at Logan International Airport (KBOS) was made from the southeast, heading 315.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,250 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 33L was successful, with a runway length of 2,804 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 145 knots. The touchdown distance was 342 meters, and the touchdown speed was 139 knots, both of which were good. However, the touchdown rate was fair at -231 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of -11 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 21 knots at 320 degrees. The crosswind was 2 knots, and the headwind was 21 knots. The total landing distance was 1,001 meters, which accounted for 36% of the runway. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, which took 8 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 2,291 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 313 minutes. The aircraft used 12,340 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at KBOS Logan International Airport on runway 33L, achieving a high score of 99.6%. The final approach was conducted from the southeast, heading 315.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,250 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft's performance during the landing was impressive, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 145 knots, which is within the acceptable range. The touchdown distance of 342 meters was also satisfactory, indicating that the pilot had maintained control and precision throughout the landing process. The touchdown speed of 139 knots was within the acceptable limits, further demonstrating the pilot's skill and expertise.
However, there was a slight deviation in the touchdown rate, which was recorded at -231 feet per minute (fpm). While this is not ideal, it did not significantly impact the overall performance of the landing. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot had successfully aligned the aircraft with the runway centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were challenging, with a temperature of -11°C and a wind speed of 21 knots at 320°. Despite these conditions, the pilot was able to maintain control and navigate the aircraft safely to the runway. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, while the headwind component was 21 knots, which actually helped to reduce the landing distance.
The total landing distance of 1,001 meters was 36% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the pilot had maintained control and precision throughout the landing process.
Overall, the Boeing 737-800 aircraft's landing at KBOS Logan International Airport was a success, with the pilot demonstrating exceptional skill and expertise in navigating the aircraft safely to the runway despite challenging weather conditions.
