See Arrival Touchdown

Ground effect becomes significant below about one wingspan of height. A Cessna 172, with a 36 ft span, enters ground effect at flare height - the float it feels in the hold-off is ground effect arriving on cue. An A320, with a span around 117 ft, has been in ground effect since before the threshold and there is no sudden cushion to feel, only a gradual reduction in induced drag that lengthens any float you allow.

The departure roll took place on runway 02, and the aircraft lifted off after covering 63% of the runway, which was 4,399 feet long. The liftoff speed was 141 knots.

As the aircraft climbed, it started at an altitude of 1,019 feet above sea level and reached a maximum altitude of 36,932 feet above sea level, an increase of 35,913 feet in 19 minutes. This climb covered a distance of 127 nautical miles. The enroute climb began 1 mile north of Kenner, Louisiana, and continued until the aircraft reached the desired altitude.

Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 9 miles north of Citronelle, Alabama. This phase lasted for 13 minutes and covered a distance of 103 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, which started 4 miles north of Hayneville, Alabama. The descent from 37,048 feet above sea level to 12,048 feet above sea level took 16 minutes and covered a distance of 114 nautical miles.

The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 1 mile southwest of East Newnan Airport (KEAS) in Georgia. This phase lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 9 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, which started overhead Smith Field (51GA) in Georgia. The descent from 12,022 feet above sea level to 2,482 feet above sea level took 7 minutes and covered a distance of 15 nautical miles.

The final approach to runway 27L at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (KATL) was made from the east, with the aircraft heading 272.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,433 feet above ground level. The landing took place on runway 27L, which was 8,984 feet long. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed at 140 knots.

The touchdown point was 722 feet beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 129 knots, which was a little fast. However, the touchdown rate was smooth at -111 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 71 degrees Fahrenheit, a wind speed of 2 knots at 260 degrees, with no crosswind and a headwind of 2 knots.

The total landing distance was 5,318 feet, which was 59% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect. After landing, the aircraft taxiied to the parking area, which took approximately 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
