Maintain the centreline
A small uncorrected heading error at 40 knots becomes a metre of offset per second by 100 knots, noticed only at rotation, producing a crabbed liftoff. Root cause is nearly always eyes on the tape instead of the far end of the runway. Small heading changes displace a distant point visibly long before the nearby centreline stripes look wrong.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
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 292 m 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 7 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a CRJ900, then departed from runway 05 at KCAE Columbia Metropolitan Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,191 meters, which accounted for 56% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 157 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 27 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 9 knots from a direction of 10 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 5 knots and a headwind of 7 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead Springdale, South Carolina. The climb took 6 minutes and covered a distance of 13 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from 1,260 feet above sea level to 16,077 feet above sea level, an increase of 14,817 feet.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, starting 3 miles east of SC84 Milliken. This cruise phase lasted for 23 minutes and covered a distance of 133 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 3 miles west of Porterdale, Georgia. The descent took 8 minutes and covered a distance of 6 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from 16,313 feet above sea level to 4,086 feet above sea level, a decrease of 12,227 feet.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting 2 miles southwest of Conyers, Georgia. This cruise phase lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 5 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 2 miles northwest of the 8GA0 Pinetree Heliport in Cumming, Georgia. The descent took 3 minutes and covered a distance of 9 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from 4,098 feet above sea level to 2,250 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,848 feet.
The final approach to runway 27L at KATL Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport was made from the east, with a heading of 270.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,207 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 27L, which had a length of 2,738 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 126 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 294 meters, and the touchdown speed was 119 knots, which was also good. The touchdown rate was firm at -366 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 26 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 6 knots from a direction of 120 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 3 knots and a tailwind of 5 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,336 meters, which accounted for 49% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 173 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 53 minutes. The aircraft used 1,442 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The CRJ900 aircraft successfully landed on runway 27L at Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport (KATL) with a score of 97.6%. The final approach was initiated from the east, heading 270.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,207 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a good threshold height, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. However, the threshold speed was slightly below the target speed of 126 knots, which may be a minor concern for the pilots. Despite this, the touchdown distance of 294 meters was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown speed of 119 knots was also good.
The touchdown rate of -366 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, indicating a controlled and stable touchdown. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilots maintained a stable and aligned approach to the runway.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 26°C and a wind speed of 6 knots from 120°. The crosswind component was minimal at 3 knots, and the tailwind component was 5 knots, which may have contributed to the slightly below-target threshold speed.
The total landing distance of 1,336 meters was 49% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, suggesting that the pilots maintained control and stability during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilots demonstrated good control and stability throughout the approach and touchdown phases. However, the slightly below-target threshold speed may be an area for improvement in future landings.
