Work on the flare
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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,738 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 434 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in question was operated by an Airbus A319 aircraft. The pre-flight taxiing process took 57 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft departed from runway 09 at Key West International Airport (KEYW), with a takeoff distance of 1,076 meters, which accounted for 74% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 139 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 32 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 10 knots at 109 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 10 knots. The aircraft began its enroute climb 1 mile southeast of Stock Island, Florida, and ascended from an altitude of 863 feet above sea level to 39,186 feet above sea level, an increase of 38,324 feet, in 21 minutes and covering a distance of 129 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 8 miles south of Harlem, Florida, and lasted for 45 minutes, covering a distance of 312 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent 4 miles north of Nicholls, Georgia, and descended from 39,037 feet above sea level to 37,085 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,952 feet, in 3 minutes and covering a distance of 24 nautical miles. This was followed by a brief level cruise 6 miles south of McRae, Georgia, lasting 2 minutes and covering 12 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began its descent 5 miles north of Helena, Georgia, and descended from 36,952 feet above sea level to 6,450 feet above sea level, a decrease of 30,502 feet, in 23 minutes and covering a distance of 121 nautical miles. Another brief level cruise started 2 miles east of Chattahoochee Hills, Georgia, lasting 5 minutes and covering 6 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent 3 miles southwest of Chattahoochee Air Park Douglasville, Georgia, and descended from 5,702 feet above sea level to 2,312 feet above sea level, a decrease of 3,391 feet, in 3 minutes and covering a distance of 11 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 09R at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (KATL) was made from the west, with a heading of 90.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,277 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 09R, which had a length of 2,738 meters. The threshold height at 79 feet above ground level was well above the target, and the threshold speed was good at 126 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 436 meters, and the touchdown speed was 112 knots, which was also good. However, the touchdown rate was very heavy at -718 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.4 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 21 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 7 knots at 100 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 7 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,316 meters, which accounted for 48% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The post-landing taxiing process took 4 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 621 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 116 minutes. The aircraft used 4,303 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A319 aircraft successfully landed at Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport (KATL) on runway 09R. The final approach was initiated from the west, heading 90.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,277 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a steady course and speed throughout the approach, ultimately touching down on the runway at a speed of 112 knots.
The touchdown distance of 436 meters was within acceptable limits, indicating that the aircraft's descent and flare were well-executed. However, the touchdown rate of -718 feet per minute (fpm) was considered very heavy, suggesting that the aircraft may have touched down with a slightly higher than ideal rate of descent. This could be attributed to a variety of factors, including the aircraft's configuration, the pilot's technique, or the wind conditions.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 4.4 meters, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the aircraft's alignment during the final approach. Despite this, the runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively to bring the aircraft to a stop.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 21°C and a wind speed of 7 knots from a direction of 100°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 7 knots, which may have contributed to the aircraft's slightly heavy touchdown rate. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft coming to a stop within 48% of the runway length.
