Landing on runway 08L at KATL Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport in the Boeing 737-MAX8

Landing Score 96.82 %

Landing Summary

The Boeing 737-MAX8 aircraft successfully landed at Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport (KATL) on runway 08L. The final approach was initiated from the west, heading 90.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,283 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a steady course throughout the approach, with a slight deviation in the threshold height, being slightly above the target at 59 feet agl.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was recorded at 140 knots, which was a little fast, but still within acceptable limits. The touchdown rate of -261 feet per minute (fpm) was considered fair, indicating a relatively smooth landing. However, the touchdown point was 628 feet beyond the designated touchdown zone, which may indicate a slight overcorrection by the pilots.

The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 14 feet from the centerline, which could be attributed to a minor deviation in the pilots' alignment during the final approach. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 45°F and a wind speed of 15 knots at 100°. The crosswind component was minimal at 3 knots, while the headwind component was 15 knots, which may have contributed to the slight deviation in the touchdown position.

The total landing distance of 3,777 feet was 42% of the runway length, which is within acceptable limits. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilots maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with a score of 96.8%.
