Arrival
Begin the flare with progressive back pressure and keep it coming until the sink is arrested, rather than flying it on flat.
What happened: The nose was barely raised in the flare and little of the sink was taken out, flying the aircraft onto the runway. This pattern usually carries through to a firm touchdown with a noticeable sink rate.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a smoothly reducing sink through the normal flare band, not a steady rate into the runway.
Ground control varies with speed, full authority at walking pace, progressively reducing as groundspeed rises. The aircraft becomes twitchy at any speed, every small pedal input swings the nose, which can encourage large-amplitude leg inputs that no real aircraft would accept.

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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: off the runway's 3° glideslope and speed above the reference speed.
At the 500 ft gate: speed above the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,402 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,402 ft of the 8,984 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 617 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 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-MAX8, then departed from runway 36 at KOMA Eppley Airfield in Omaha, Nebraska. The takeoff distance was 5,496 feet, which accounted for 69% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 165 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 51°F and a wind speed of 2 knots at 329°. The crosswind and headwind were both 1 knot. The enroute climb started 1 mile north of KOMA Eppley Airfield and reached an altitude of 36,602 feet above sea level, an increase of 34,613 feet from the initial altitude of 1,989 feet. This climb took 19 minutes and covered a distance of 131 nautical miles.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 10 miles west of MU38 Bogard-Cowgill Airport in Milan, Missouri. This cruise phase lasted for 51 minutes and covered a distance of 409 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting 2 miles west of Smyrna, Tennessee, and descending from 36,724 feet to 12,402 feet above sea level, a decrease of 24,322 feet. This descent took 20 minutes and covered a distance of 140 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 4 miles southeast of Euharlee, Georgia, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 9 nautical miles. The descent phase began again, this time starting 3 miles east of Dallas, Georgia, and descending from 12,000 feet to 4,055 feet above sea level, a decrease of 7,945 feet. This descent took 7 minutes and covered a distance of 32 nautical miles.
The aircraft entered another level cruise phase, which started 2 miles west of Redan, Georgia, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles. The descent phase began once more, this time starting 3 miles northwest of 8GA0 Pinetree Heliport in Cumming, Georgia, and descending from 4,002 feet to 1,754 feet above sea level, a decrease of 2,247 feet. This descent took 2 minutes and covered a distance of 7 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 26R at KATL Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport was made from the east, heading 270.0° at 4 nautical miles and 717 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 26R was successful, with a touchdown distance of 618 feet and a touchdown speed of 144 knots, which was slightly fast. The touchdown rate was firm at -380 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 12 feet from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 48°F and a wind speed of 2 knots at 220°, with a crosswind and headwind of 1 knot each. The total landing distance was 5,150 feet, which accounted for 57% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 741 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 111 minutes. The aircraft used 8,936 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-MAX8 aircraft successfully landed at Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport (KATL) on runway 26R. The final approach was executed from the east, heading 270.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 717 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, indicating a stable approach.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was within the acceptable range at 147 knots. However, the touchdown speed of 144 knots was slightly faster than desired, which may have contributed to a firm touchdown rate of -380 feet per minute (fpm). Despite this, the touchdown distance of 618 feet was considered good.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 12 feet from the centerline, which may require some adjustments during the rollout phase. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 48°F and a gentle wind of 2 knots from 220°. The crosswind and headwind components were minimal, at 1 knot each.
The total landing distance of 5,150 feet was within the acceptable range, accounting for 57% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively, allowing for a stable and controlled deceleration. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with some minor deviations from the ideal performance.
