What went well

Touched down at -111 fpm — a soft arrival
Threshold crossed at 45 ft and 130 kt — both inside band
Straight touchdown — 11.7 ft off the centreline, no bounce

What held you back

Arrival Landing — Flare profile at 0 %, −1.04 points
Departure Roll — Strobe Lights at 0 %, Takeoff distance 10,589 ft at 76 %, −0.75 points
Arrival Touchdown — Touchdown distance was 2,999 ft at 50 %, −0.33 points

Next time

Departure

Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.

What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 16 ft off the runway centreline.

Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.

See Departure Roll

Arrival

Hold the aim point and wait for the speed to bleed before raising the nose, starting the flare within the normal band instead of 52 ft.

What happened: The flare began at 52 ft, 7.4 ft earlier than the normal band.

Watch for: Radio altimeter: start the flare within the normal flare band

See Arrival Landing

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.

Landing Summary

The aircraft touched down on runway 26R at KATL Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport, a 8,984 ft long runway, after a final approach from the east. The approach quality was good, with a threshold height that met expectations. The threshold speed of 131 kt was also within the desired range, indicating a well-executed approach.

As the aircraft made contact with the runway, it touched down 1,645 ft beyond the touchdown zone, at a speed of 129 kt, which was slightly faster than the ideal. However, the touchdown rate was smooth, at -106 fpm, suggesting a controlled descent. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned, being 12 ft off the centreline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the approach or during the landing phase.

The total landing distance of 5,373 ft was 60% of the runway length, which is within the acceptable range. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating a stable and controlled deceleration after touchdown. Overall, the landing performance was satisfactory, with a score of 91.6%. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 59 °F and a light headwind of 1 kt, did not pose any significant challenges to the landing.
