Top opportunity

Shorten the long landing

The one change that would have gained the most on this flight, and the guide passage for it.

Ground effect becomes significant below about one wingspan of height. A Cessna 172, with a 36 ft span, enters ground effect at flare height - the float it feels in the hold-off is ground effect arriving on cue. An A320, with a span around 117 ft, has been in ground effect since before the threshold and there is no sudden cushion to feel, only a gradual reduction in induced drag that lengthens any float you allow.

Landing on runway 27R at KATL Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport in the Airbus A350-900
Landing Score 98.37 %
Landing Summary

The Airbus A350-900 established a final approach to runway 27R at KATL from the east, maintaining a heading of 270.0° at 4 nm and 1,219 ft agl while the local temperature was 26 °C, wind 5 kt from 200°, with a 5 kt cross-wind component and a 2 kt head-wind component.

At threshold the height was good and the threshold speed was well above target at 140 kt.

Touchdown occurred 294 m beyond the touchdown zone; the aircraft’s speed at touchdown was fast at 145 kt, the vertical rate was good at minus 150 fpm, and runway touchdown alignment was perfect.

The total landing distance measured 1,693 m, representing 47 % of the 3,618 m runway, and rollout alignment was very good.

To tighten future performances, reduce the threshold speed toward the intended target and aim to touch down within the designated zone, which will further improve the already strong 96.1 % score.
