Flight Score
Arrival
Reduce power earlier on final to bleed speed back to 88 kt before crossing the threshold.
What happened: You crossed the threshold at 96 kt, 8 kt above the 88 kt target.
Watch for: Airspeed, targeting 88 kt at the threshold.
See Arrival Landing
Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: seven 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. These checks are the approach's score.
At the 500 ft gate: sink rate 3,750 fpm, more than the glideslope needed, glideslope 8.7° against the runway's 3° and wings 12° of bank, against a 10° limit.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 5,200 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,208 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The aircraft taxied from the parking area to runway 27R at KATL, covering 2 nm in 13 minutes.
Takeoff roll on runway 27R at KATL was 4,988 ft, representing 42 % of the runway, and rotation was achieved at 90 kt. Ambient temperature was 70 °F, wind 5 kt from 300°, with a 2 kt cross-wind component and a 4 kt head-wind.
Climb commenced 1 mile southwest of College Park, GA, climbing from 1,861 ft asl to 28,674 ft asl, a gain of 26,813 ft in 27 minutes while covering 89 nm.
Level cruise began 2 miles north of 60GE Flying B Farm Airport, Arnoldsville, GA, and lasted 72 minutes, covering 326 nm.
Descent started 5 miles south of 2VA3 Merlin Aerodrome, Amelia Court House, VA, descending from 28,991 ft asl to 1,859 ft asl, a loss of 27,132 ft in 33 minutes over 131 nm.
