Flight Score
Departure
Raise the gear lever promptly once a positive rate of climb is confirmed after liftoff.
What happened: The landing gear was never raised during the initial climb and was still down when the climb ended.
Watch for: Landing gear lever: UP promptly after confirming a positive rate of climb.
Arrival
Keep the back pressure coming through the flare so the sink is fully arrested before the wheels meet the runway.
What happened: Landing g force ran high at 1.1 g through the flare, and the touchdown followed through firm at 1.1 g.
Watch for: Watch the g meter at touchdown against the normal touchdown rate band.
Make sure that you retract the landing gear once you have a positive rate of climb and there is no usable runway left to land back on.

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 8,006 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,715 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Logan International Airport (KBOS), the Boeing B737-800 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 13 minutes and covered 2 nautical miles. As the aircraft lined up on runway 22L, it was cleared for departure, and with a takeoff distance of 3,440 feet, which was 38% of the runway, the aircraft lifted off at a speed of 156 knots. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 68°F and a gentle headwind of 2 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it passed overhead the Avco/Lowell Heliport (MA17) in Lowell, Massachusetts, marking the beginning of the enroute climb phase. The aircraft ascended from 1,052 feet above sea level to 36,001 feet, an increase of 34,950 feet, in 16 minutes and covering 104 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise phase followed, starting 4 miles northeast of Winsted, Connecticut, and lasting 83 minutes, during which the aircraft covered 625 nautical miles. The descent phase began 5 miles northwest of Somerset, Kentucky, and the aircraft descended from 36,000 feet to 6,439 feet in 14 minutes, covering 89 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 20L at Nashville International Airport (KBNA) was initiated from the north, with the aircraft heading 198.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,268 feet above ground level. The landing was smooth, with a touchdown speed of 134 knots and a touchdown rate of -147 feet per minute. The touchdown point was 333 feet beyond the touchdown zone, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 18 feet from the centerline. The total landing distance was 3,396 feet, which was 42% of the runway. After 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 849 nautical miles, and the aircraft used 12,066 pounds of fuel during the flight, which lasted 141 minutes.
The Boeing B737-800 touched down on runway 20L at KBNA Nashville International Airport with a satisfactory approach quality, characterized by a good threshold height and speed of 139 kt. The aircraft maintained a steady descent, ultimately touching down 333 ft beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 134 kt. The touchdown rate was smooth, with a descent rate of -147 fpm, indicating a well-controlled approach.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 18 ft from the centreline, although the rollout alignment was very good, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control and correct for any deviations. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 81 °F and a headwind of 3 kt, contributed to a relatively straightforward landing. The aircraft's performance was further underscored by its ability to maintain a smooth touchdown rate despite the slight deviation from the centreline.
The total landing distance of 3,396 ft, which accounted for 42% of the runway length, was within acceptable parameters. Overall, the landing was deemed satisfactory, with a score of 97.9%, reflecting the pilot's skill and the aircraft's performance in executing a safe and controlled touchdown on runway 20L.
