Monitor your speed
Below 10,000 ft you are typically limited to 250 kt indicated (a US rule that much of the world mirrors in some form, though not universally). This forces a deceleration around 10,000 ft whether the profile wants one or not, so plan for it rather than discovering 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.

Side view — the last 5,986 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,986 ft of the 8,984 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,502 ft touchdown sits inside 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 6 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 22R at Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport (KDTW). The takeoff distance was 4,431 feet, which accounted for 44% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 155 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 39 degrees Fahrenheit, with a wind speed of 2 knots at 80 degrees. The crosswind was 2 knots, while the tailwind was 1 knot. As the aircraft took off, it began its enroute climb, which started 1 mile south of Romulus, Michigan. The climb was from an altitude of 1,655 feet above sea level to 35,623 feet above sea level, an increase of 33,968 feet, in 19 minutes and covering a distance of 122 nautical miles.
After the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 5 miles northwest of Russia, Ohio. This phase lasted for 36 minutes and covered a distance of 285 nautical miles. Following the cruise phase, the aircraft began its enroute descent, which started 5 miles northwest of Dayton, Tennessee. The descent was from an altitude of 36,347 feet above sea level to 2,327 feet above sea level, a decrease of 34,019 feet, in 24 minutes and covering a distance of 119 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 09R at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (KATL) was made from the west, with a heading of 89.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,285 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 09R, which had a length of 8,984 feet. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 50 degrees Fahrenheit, with a wind speed of 2 knots at 120 degrees. The crosswind was 1 knot, while the headwind was 1 knot.
The touchdown speed was 133 knots, which was good, and the touchdown distance was 1,510 feet, which was also good. However, the touchdown rate was fair at -209 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was also perfect. The total landing distance was 5,731 feet, which accounted for 64% of the runway.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking from the runway, which took 4 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 535 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 91 minutes. The aircraft used 8,096 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport (KATL) on runway 09R. The final approach was executed from the west, with a heading of 89.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,285 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft demonstrated a high level of proficiency in its approach, achieving a score of 99.8%.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 140 knots, which was within the acceptable threshold speed. The touchdown distance of 1,510 feet was also within the expected range, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown speed of 133 knots was slightly lower than the threshold speed, but still within the acceptable limits.
However, the touchdown rate of -209 feet per minute (fpm) was considered fair, suggesting that the aircraft may have experienced a slight bounce or oscillation upon touchdown. This could be attributed to various factors, including the aircraft's weight, the runway's surface, or the pilot's control inputs.
Despite the slightly higher touchdown rate, the aircraft's runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilots maintained a stable and controlled approach. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 50°F and a wind speed of 2 knots at 120°, were relatively calm, contributing to a smooth landing.
The total landing distance of 5,731 feet was 64% of the runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the pilots maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, the Boeing 737-800 aircraft demonstrated a high level of proficiency in its landing at KATL, with a score of 99.8%. While there were some minor issues with the touchdown rate, the aircraft's overall performance was impressive, and the pilots' skills were evident throughout the landing.
