Flight Score
Departure
On the roll, make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline within 16 ft.
What happened: The takeoff roll drifted off the centreline by 16 ft, and excess bank then carried through all three climb segments. A drifted roll like this usually leads into wandering bank angle through the climb.
Watch for: Watch the heading indicator and runway centreline during the roll, and the attitude indicator for wings level through the climb.

Arrival
Hold the approach speed back toward 45 ft with power and let the aircraft descend to the normal flare band before rounding out.
What happened: The flare began early at 87 ft, well above the normal band, and the aircraft touched down fast at 191 kt against a vref of 147 kt. An early flare like this usually carries extra speed through to touchdown rather than bleeding it off.
Watch for: Watch radio altitude and start the flare within the normal band near 45 ft.
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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: speed above the reference speed.
At the 500 ft gate: sink rate above what the glideslope needed and speed above the reference speed.

Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 8,984 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 700 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in question was operated by a Boeing B737-800 aircraft. The aircraft began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 29 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 18C at Charlotte Douglas International Airport (KCLT), with the aircraft taking off after covering a distance of 6,056 feet, which was 60% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 152 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of Charlotte Douglas International Airport, it encountered local weather conditions of 75°F temperature and a wind speed of 0 knots at 295°. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, which started overhead the airport and took the aircraft to an altitude of 12,577 feet above sea level (asl) in 9 minutes, covering a distance of 15 nautical miles. The climb was followed by a brief level cruise, which lasted 9 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
The aircraft then began another climb, this time from 12,577 feet asl to 20,099 feet asl, an increase of 7,522 feet in 7 minutes, covering a distance of 10 nautical miles. This was followed by another level cruise, which started 2 miles east of Grover, North Carolina, and lasted 31 minutes, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile.
The aircraft then began another climb, this time from 20,600 feet asl to 31,454 feet asl, an increase of 10,853 feet in 15 minutes, covering a distance of 31 nautical miles. The climb was followed by a descent, which started 3 miles north east of Inman, South Carolina, and took the aircraft down to 30,860 feet asl in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began another level cruise, which lasted 2 minutes and covered a distance of 5 nautical miles. This was followed by another descent, which started 2 miles north east of O Neal Field Greer, South Carolina, and took the aircraft down to 6,869 feet asl in 33 minutes, covering a distance of 76 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began another climb, this time from 6,863 feet asl to 7,795 feet asl, an increase of 932 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. This was followed by another level cruise, which started 3 miles west of Homer, Georgia, and lasted 14 minutes, covering a distance of 18 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began another climb, this time from 8,238 feet asl to 8,715 feet asl, an increase of 476 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. This was followed by a descent, which started 4 miles north of Auburn, Georgia, and took the aircraft down to 4,577 feet asl in 5 minutes, covering a distance of 12 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began another level cruise, which lasted 2 minutes and covered a distance of 5 nautical miles. This was followed by another climb, which started 1 mile south east of Snellville, Georgia, and took the aircraft up to 5,876 feet asl in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began another level cruise, which lasted 2 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. This was followed by a descent, which started overhead Lithonia, Georgia, and took the aircraft down to 1,246 feet asl in 6 minutes, covering a distance of 11 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began another level cruise, which lasted 4
The Boeing B737-800 aircraft successfully landed on runway 26R at Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport (KATL) with a score of 80.7%. The final approach was initiated from the east, heading 270.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 862 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on the runway, which has a length of 8,984 feet.
The threshold height was satisfactory, but the threshold speed was too high at 194 knots. This indicates that the aircraft may have been slightly above the recommended speed for landing. However, the touchdown distance was good at 713 feet, which suggests that the pilot maintained control and made a smooth landing. The touchdown speed of 191 knots was excessively fast, which may have contributed to the heavy touchdown rate of -806 feet per minute (fpm).
The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot successfully aligned the aircraft with the runway centerline. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 71°F and a wind speed of 4 knots at 59°. The crosswind was minimal at 2 knots, and the tailwind was 3 knots, which did not significantly impact the landing.
The total landing distance was 4,610 feet, which is 51% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the pilot made a good landing. However, the runway rollout alignment was misaligned by 53 feet from the centerline, which suggests that the pilot may have lost control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was satisfactory, but there were some areas for improvement, such as reducing the threshold speed and touchdown speed, and maintaining better control during the rollout phase.
