The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.

Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 10,998 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,160 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 30 minutes and covered a distance of 5 nautical miles. The aircraft, an Airbus A320, then departed from runway 09L at Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport (KATL). The takeoff distance was 4,263 feet, which accounted for 36% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 149 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of KATL, it began its enroute climb, reaching an altitude of 18,006 feet above sea level (asl) from an initial altitude of 1,308 feet asl. This climb took 15 minutes and covered a distance of 32 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a level cruise, lasting 2 minutes and covering 7 nautical miles, before starting its descent. The initial descent took place from 17,839 feet asl to 4,403 feet asl, a decrease of 13,436 feet in 23 minutes and covering 62 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, lasting 2 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile, before starting its second descent. This descent took place from 4,403 feet asl to 2,695 feet asl, a decrease of 1,708 feet in 3 minutes and covering 4 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise, lasting 15 minutes and covering 23 nautical miles, before starting its final approach to runway 04 at Greenville Spartanburg International Airport (KGSP).
The final approach was made from the south west, heading 32.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,187 feet above ground level (agl). The landing was successful, with a touchdown distance of 1,162 feet, which was 37% of the runway length. The touchdown speed was 134 knots, and the touchdown rate was 165 feet per minute (fpm), which was perfect. The runway touchdown alignment was also perfect.
The local weather at the time of landing was a temperature of 61 degrees Fahrenheit. The total landing distance was 4,068 feet, and the runway rollout alignment was very good. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking, which took 6 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 138 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 78 minutes. The aircraft used 3,319 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at Greenville Spartanburg International Airport (KGSP) with a score of 99.5%. The aircraft approached the runway from the southwest, heading 32.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,187 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a precise final approach, taking into account the runway's length of 10,998 feet and its orientation.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft demonstrated excellent control, with a threshold height that was well within acceptable limits. The threshold speed of 138 knots was also satisfactory, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown distance of 1,162 feet was within the expected range, and the touchdown speed of 134 knots was also well within the acceptable limits.
One of the most impressive aspects of this landing was the touchdown rate, which was a perfect 165 feet per minute (fpm). This indicates that the aircraft touched down with minimal deceleration, reducing the risk of damage to the aircraft and the runway. Additionally, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, suggesting that the pilot had excellent control over the aircraft's descent and alignment with the runway.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 61°F. This suggests that the pilot did not have to contend with any adverse weather conditions that might have affected the landing.
The total landing distance of 4,068 feet was 37% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. This indicates that the pilot had excellent control over the aircraft's descent and rollout, and that the aircraft was able to stop quickly and safely after touchdown. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, suggesting that the pilot had excellent control over the aircraft's movement after touchdown.
Overall, this landing was a textbook example of a well-executed approach and landing, with the pilot demonstrating excellent control and precision throughout the entire process.
