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 16 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 9.6 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 9.6 ft down to touchdown.
Watch for: Watch radio altitude and VSI through the flare, aiming to arrest the sink smoothly from 9.6 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 5,816 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,816 ft of the 8,984 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,869 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 34L at KDEN Denver International Airport. The aircraft, an Airbus A320, accelerated down the runway, covering a distance of 5,922 feet, which was 37% of the runway's length. The liftoff speed was achieved at 160 knots, marking the start of the takeoff phase.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it encountered local weather conditions of 58°F temperature and winds of 11 knots at 19°. The crosswind component was 4 knots, while the headwind component was 10 knots. The enroute climb started approximately 1 mile northwest of the airport and continued for 19 minutes, during which the aircraft ascended from 6,370 feet above sea level to 34,941 feet, an increase of 28,570 feet. This climb phase covered a distance of 124 nautical miles.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which began 7 miles southeast of Burlington, Colorado. This phase lasted for 103 minutes and covered a distance of 811 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its enroute descent, which began 1 mile northwest of Guntersville, Alabama. The descent phase was completed in 19 minutes, during which the aircraft descended from 35,167 feet to 2,229 feet, a decrease of 32,938 feet. This phase covered a distance of 100 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 08L at KATL Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport was made from the west, with the aircraft heading 90° at 4 nautical miles and 1,199 feet above ground level. The landing was made on the runway, which was 8,984 feet long. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 140 knots. The touchdown point was 517 feet beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 131 knots, which was a little fast. However, the touchdown rate was smooth at -114 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 68°F temperature and winds of 2 knots at 89°. The crosswind component was 0 knots, while the headwind component was 1 knot. The total landing distance was 5,564 feet, which was 62% of the runway's length. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect. Taxiing to the parking from the runway took 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 1,042 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 149 minutes. The aircraft used 13,397 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed on runway 08L at Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport (KATL) with a score of 98.4%. The aircraft approached the runway from the west, heading 90.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,199 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with precision, and the aircraft landed smoothly on the runway.
The threshold height was good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct altitude as it approached the runway. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 140 kt, which may have been due to the aircraft's descent rate or the pilot's decision to maintain a higher speed for a smoother landing. The touchdown point was 517 feet beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively short distance, indicating that the aircraft was well-aligned with the runway.
The touchdown speed of 131 kt was a little fast, which may have been due to the aircraft's momentum or the pilot's decision to maintain a higher speed for a shorter landing distance. However, the touchdown rate was smooth at -114 fpm, indicating that the aircraft's descent was controlled and stable. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, which is a critical aspect of a safe and successful landing.
The local weather conditions were favorable for the landing, with a temperature of 68°F and a wind speed of 2 kt at 89°. The crosswind was negligible, and the headwind was 1 kt, which helped to stabilize the aircraft's approach and landing. The total landing distance was 5,564 feet, which is 62% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was well-controlled and the pilot executed a smooth and efficient landing.
The runway rollout alignment was perfect, which is a critical aspect of a safe and successful landing. The aircraft's wheels were aligned with the runway centerline, and the aircraft was stable and under control as it rolled out of the landing. Overall, the Airbus A320's landing on runway 08L at KATL was a success, with a score of 98.4% and a smooth and controlled touchdown.
