MY FS FLIGHTS
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 19 ft off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Fly the flare as one continuous check of the sink rate from 35 ft, holding back pressure steadily rather than adjusting pitch piecemeal.
What happened: The flare drifted away from its intended profile rather than tracking it smoothly from 35 ft down to touchdown.
Watch for: Watch radio altitude and VSI through the flare, aiming to arrest the sink smoothly from 35 ft to touchdown.
See Arrival Landing
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.
The approach, gate by gate
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.
Touched down 2,494 ft 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 10 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, an Airbus A321, then departed from runway 32 at KSRQ Sarasota Bradenton International Airport. The takeoff distance was 4,298 feet, which accounted for 61% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 162 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 59°F and winds of 10 knots at 359°. The crosswind was 7 knots, and the headwind was also 7 knots. The enroute climb started overhead Whitfield, Florida, and the aircraft ascended from 1,011 feet above sea level to 35,006 feet above sea level, an increase of 33,995 feet in 23 minutes, covering a distance of 144 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 3 miles southwest of the Lazy S Farm Airport in High Springs, Florida, and lasted for 51 minutes, covering a distance of 833 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its enroute descent 7 miles northwest of Mattituck, New York, and descended from 35,027 feet above sea level to 1,323 feet above sea level, a decrease of 33,704 feet in 20 minutes, covering a distance of 105 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 33L at KBOS Logan International Airport was from the southeast, with a heading of 315.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,295 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 33L was successful, with the touchdown point being 975 feet beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 128 knots, which was good, and the touchdown rate was smooth at -126 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 15 feet from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 19°F and winds of 7 knots at 298°. The crosswind was 2 knots, and the headwind was 7 knots. The total landing distance was 4,515 feet, which accounted for 49% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 1,091 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 105 minutes. The aircraft used 15,060 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A321 aircraft successfully landed at KBOS Logan International Airport on runway 33L, achieving a score of 87.7%. The final approach was initiated from the southeast, heading 315.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,295 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down 975 feet beyond the touchdown zone, which is slightly off-target. However, the touchdown speed of 128 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -126 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth, indicating a well-controlled descent. The runway touchdown position was also slightly misaligned by 15 feet from the centerline, but this did not appear to have a significant impact on the overall landing performance.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 19°F and a wind speed of 7 knots from 298°. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 7 knots, which may have contributed to the slight misalignment of the touchdown position. Despite these conditions, the aircraft's rollout alignment on the runway was very good, indicating a high degree of control and stability during the landing phase.
The total landing distance of 4,515 feet was 49% of the available runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. Overall, the landing was successful, and the aircraft's performance was satisfactory, with the only notable issues being the slight misalignment of the touchdown position and the touchdown point being beyond the designated zone.
