Slow the descent speed
Below 10,000 ft you are typically limited to 250 kt indicated (a US rule that much of the world mirrors in some form, though not universally). This forces a deceleration around 10,000 ft whether the profile wants one or not, so plan for it rather than discovering it.

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 244 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 5 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a CRJ900, then departed from runway 24 at KBHM Birmingham-Shuttlesworth International Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,252 meters, which accounted for 38% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 156 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 24 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 16 knots from a direction of 300 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 14 knots and a headwind of 7 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile south of Tarrant, Alabama, and rising from an altitude of 1,660 feet above sea level to 15,011 feet above sea level, an increase of 13,351 feet, in 6 minutes and covering a distance of 13 nautical miles.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, starting 2 miles north of Clay, Alabama, and lasting 12 minutes, during which it covered a distance of 81 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 1 mile north of Rockmart, Georgia, and descending from an altitude of 14,918 feet above sea level to 3,405 feet above sea level, a decrease of 11,512 feet, in 14 minutes and covering a distance of 50 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting 3 miles north of the Pinetree Heliport in Cumming, Georgia, and lasting 2 minutes, during which it covered a distance of 5 nautical miles. It then entered another level cruise, starting 3 miles south of Panthersville, Georgia, and lasting 1 minute, during which it covered a distance of 4 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 26R at KATL Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport was made from the east, heading 270.0 degrees, at an altitude of 1,180 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was made on runway 26R, which had a length of 2,738 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 134 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 243 meters, and the touchdown speed was 131 knots, which was also good. The touchdown rate was firm at -396 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.9 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 19 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 16 knots from a direction of 300 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 8 knots and a headwind of 14 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,314 meters, which accounted for 48% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 7.9 meters from the centerline. 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 160 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 47 minutes. The aircraft used 1,175 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The CRJ900 aircraft successfully landed at Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport (KATL) on runway 26R, achieving a score of 95.9%. The final approach was initiated from the east, heading 270.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,180 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a good threshold height, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 134 knots. The touchdown distance was within acceptable limits at 243 meters, and the touchdown speed was maintained at 131 knots, which is a good indication of the pilot's control and precision. The touchdown rate was firm at -396 feet per minute (fpm), indicating a controlled descent.
However, there were some minor deviations from the ideal landing performance. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.9 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight drift or a minor error in navigation. Additionally, the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 7.9 meters from the centerline, which may have been caused by a slight overcorrection or a minor issue with the aircraft's directional control.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 19°C and a wind speed of 16 knots from 300°. The crosswind component was 8 knots, while the headwind component was 14 knots. These conditions would have required the pilot to make some adjustments to the approach and landing, but it appears that they were able to manage the aircraft effectively.
Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated good control and precision throughout the approach and landing phases. However, there is room for improvement in terms of maintaining a more accurate alignment with the runway centerline during the rollout phase.
