Arrival
Keep the back pressure coming through the flare so the sink does not return at 196 fpm.
What happened: The flare arrested the sink, but then the sink returned before touchdown.
Watch for: Watch the VSI in the flare and keep arrested sink from returning before touchdown at 289 fpm.
See Arrival Landing
Twenty knots on a monitor produces the visual sensation of about ten. The advice to "taxi at a walking pace" cannot fix this, because your sense of walking pace is exactly the thing that's broken. Put the groundspeed readout in your scan and obey it for the next fifty flights, the way a student pilot leans on the airspeed indicator before learning to read attitude.

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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,584 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,584 m of the 2,738 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 608 m past the threshold — beyond 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 4 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-MAX8, then departed from runway 17L at Calgary International Airport (CYYC) in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. The takeoff distance was 1,880 meters, which was 44% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 159 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 8 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 340 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a tailwind of 4 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile south east of CYYC, and climbed from an altitude of 4,609 feet above sea level to 34,516 feet above sea level, an increase of 29,908 feet, in 17 minutes and covering a distance of 139 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 9 miles south east of Del Bonita/Whetstone International Airport (CEQ4) in Del Bonita, Montana, United States, and lasted for 28 minutes, covering a distance of 429 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute climb, starting 11 miles north of Homa Hills in Wyoming, United States, and climbed from 34,709 feet above sea level to 36,569 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,861 feet, in 2 minutes and covering a distance of 23 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 8 miles south west of Glenrock in Wyoming, United States, and lasted for 73 minutes, covering a distance of 1,023 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 4 miles north west of Somerville in Alabama, United States, and descended from 38,338 feet above sea level to 2,262 feet above sea level, a decrease of 36,075 feet, in 21 minutes and covering a distance of 128 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 08L at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (KATL) was made from the west, heading 90 degrees, at an altitude of 1,238 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was made on runway 08L, which had a length of 2,738 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed at 155 knots.
The touchdown point was 198 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 146 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was fair at -238 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.6 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 21 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 11 knots from a direction of 90 degrees, resulting in a headwind of 11 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,509 meters, which was 55% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 4 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,750 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 154 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 8,992 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-MAX8 aircraft successfully landed at Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport (KATL) on runway 08L. The final approach was conducted from the west, heading 90.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,238 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, which is a crucial aspect of a safe landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was slightly above the target threshold speed of 155 knots, registering at 155 kt. However, the touchdown speed of 146 kt was a bit faster than desired. The touchdown rate of -238 feet per minute (fpm) was considered fair, indicating a relatively smooth descent. The touchdown point was 198 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which may be a concern for future approaches.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.6 meters from the centerline, which could be attributed to factors such as wind or pilot error. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 21°C and a headwind of 11 knots at 90°. The crosswind was negligible, at 0 knots.
The total landing distance of 1,509 meters was 55% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft maintained its direction and speed during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with some minor areas for improvement.
