Landing Score 91.56 %

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.
