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 1,833 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,833 m of the 2,738 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 743 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.

The landing was on runway 26R at KATL Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta I, with a runway length of 2,738 m. The height at threshold was 42 ft agl, with a speed at threshold of 151 kn. The touchdown occurred 740 m from the threshold at a speed of 141 kn and a VSI of -166 ft/m. The local weather at landing was 30 °C with wind at 7 kn from 259 °, with a 1 kn crosswind and 7 kn headwind. The total landing distance was 1,759 m, which was 64% of the runway.
Finally, taxiing to the parking from the runway took 9 minutes and covered 1 nm. The total flight distance was 2,866 nm, taking 399 minutes and using 58,004 kg of fuel.
Firstly, congratulations on achieving a landing score of 95.0%! This is a clear indication of your skill and proficiency as a pilot. Let's dive into the detailed analysis of the different phases of your aircraft landing to further understand the strengths and areas for improvement.
During the Approach Phase, it's commendable that your glideslope alignment was excellent. This shows your ability to accurately control the descent of the aircraft towards the runway. However, it's noted that your speed was slightly above target. Maintaining the correct approach speed is crucial for a smooth and safe landing, so this is an aspect that you might want to focus on in future flights.
Moving on to the Landing Phase, it's positive to see that you had a good threshold height, indicating that you were properly aligned with the runway as you approached the landing zone. However, the poor landing flare suggests that there may have been room for improvement in your technique for reducing speed and transitioning to the landing phase smoothly. Mastering the landing flare is essential for achieving a soft and controlled touchdown.
In the Touchdown Phase, it's great to see that your touchdown rate was good and your speed was on target. These aspects are crucial for a safe and successful landing. However, the fact that the touchdown point was 333 m beyond the touchdown zone is an area that could be improved. Striving to consistently touch down within the designated zone will help enhance your precision during landings.
Additionally, the fact that the runway touchdown position was 3.4 m from the centerline indicates that there was some deviation from the optimal alignment. Maintaining runway centerline alignment is important for safe taxiing and runway occupancy, so this is another aspect that you could work on improving.
Finally, in the Rollout Phase, the runway alignment being 5.5 m from the centerline suggests some challenges in maintaining straight-line tracking post-touchdown. Ensuring a smooth rollout and keeping the aircraft aligned with the runway centerline will enhance overall landing performance and safety.
In conclusion, while you demonstrated proficiency in various aspects of the landing process and achieved an impressive score, there are specific areas such as approach speed, landing flare, touchdown zone accuracy, and runway alignment that you can focus on to further enhance your skills. Keep up the good work, and continue practicing and refining your techniques to become an even more accomplished pilot. Your dedication to improvement will surely lead to even higher landing scores in the future.
