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.
One stabilised approach gate: five 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.
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,079 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 479 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in the CRJ900 began with a 5-minute taxi from the parking area to the runway at KATL Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport. The departure roll on runway 08R covered 1,404 meters, which was 46% of the total runway length. The liftoff speed was 150 knots. The local weather at the time of departure was 15°C with no wind.
The enroute climb started 1 mile southeast of Hapeville, Georgia, climbing from 2,065 feet above sea level to 31,430 feet, covering 89 nautical miles in 11 minutes. The level cruise portion of the flight began 2 miles east of Mustang Field Hartwell, lasting 11 minutes and covering 260 nm.
The enroute descent started 6 miles north of Layne Farm Airstrip Cullen, descending from 30,860 feet to 1,741 feet in 16 minutes, covering 60 nm. The final approach to runway 21 at KCHO Charlottesville Albemarle Airport from the north included a touchdown point that was 65 meters beyond the designated zone, with a touchdown speed of 129 knots and a slight misalignment of 11.9 meters from the centerline.
The landing on runway 21 at KCHO involved a landing distance of 1,282 meters, which was 62% of the total runway length. The touchdown rate was good at -188 ft/m, and the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 11.9 meters from the centerline. The total flight distance was 418 nm, taking 47 minutes and utilizing 1,998 kg of fuel.
Overall, the aircraft landing score of 94.4% is a commendable achievement, showcasing a high level of proficiency and skill from the pilot.
Starting with the Approach Phase, the excellent alignment with the glideslope and the appropriate threshold speed of 139 knots demonstrate strong situational awareness and precise control of the aircraft. This is a crucial aspect of a successful landing as it sets the foundation for a smooth touchdown.
Moving on to the Landing Phase, the good threshold height and perfect landing flare indicate a well-executed descent and approach to the runway. The landing flare is particularly important for a gentle touchdown and minimizing any risk of a hard landing.
In the Touchdown Phase, the touchdown rate of -188 ft/m is within acceptable limits, showing good control and technique during the final moments before touchdown. However, the touchdown speed of 129 knots being slightly fast suggests the need for a slight adjustment to ensure a smoother landing in future flights. Additionally, the touchdown point being 65 meters beyond the touchdown zone and the runway touchdown position being misaligned by 11.9 meters from the centerline are areas that could be improved upon.
Overall, while the landing score of 94.4% reflects a high level of proficiency, there are still areas for refinement to strive towards a perfect landing. By paying attention to details such as touchdown speed, alignment, and touchdown point, the pilot can continue to enhance their skills and strive for even greater precision in future landings. Keep up the good work and continue to focus on honing your techniques for an even smoother and more precise landing next time.
