Flight Score
Arrival
Reduce power earlier on final to bleed speed back to 145 kt before crossing the threshold.
What happened: You crossed the threshold at 153 kt, 8 kt above the 145 kt target.
Watch for: Airspeed, targeting 145 kt at the threshold.
See Arrival Landing
Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without it.

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 6,145 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 6,145 ft of the 8,984 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,704 ft 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 6 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 22L at KORD Chicago O'Hare International Airport. The takeoff distance was 5,094 feet, which accounted for 63% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 161 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 12 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind speed of 8 knots from a direction of 296 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 7 knots and a headwind of 2 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile east of Bensenville, Illinois. The climb took 19 minutes and covered a distance of 126 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 1,623 feet above sea level to 35,006 feet above sea level, an increase of 33,383 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 1 mile south east of KCHV Chrisman Airport in Chrisman, Illinois. This phase lasted for 36 minutes and covered a distance of 291 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 4 miles south of Sewanee, Tennessee. The descent took 23 minutes and covered a distance of 129 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from an altitude of 35,004 feet above sea level to 4,984 feet above sea level, a decrease of 30,020 feet.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 2 miles west of Conyers, Georgia, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 3 miles north of the 8GA0 Pinetree Heliport in Cumming, Georgia. The descent took 3 minutes and covered a distance of 8 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from an altitude of 4,871 feet above sea level to 2,309 feet above sea level, a decrease of 2,562 feet.
The final approach to runway 26R 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 1,279 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 26R, which had a length of 8,984 feet. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 154 knots.
The touchdown point was 353 feet beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 145 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was fair at -225 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 41 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind speed of 8 knots from a direction of 315 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 6 knots and a headwind of 5 knots.
The total landing distance was 5,893 feet, which accounted for 66% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect. 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 568 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 94 minutes. The aircraft used 8,138 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport (KATL) on runway 26R. The final approach was executed from the east, heading 270.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,279 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, which is a critical aspect of a safe landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 153 kt, registering at 154 kt. However, the touchdown point was 353 feet beyond the designated touchdown zone, which may indicate a slight deviation from the intended landing spot. The touchdown speed of 145 kt was a bit faster than the ideal speed, but the touchdown rate of -225 feet per minute (fpm) was considered fair.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 41°F and a wind speed of 8 kt from 315°. This resulted in a crosswind of 6 kt and a headwind of 5 kt, which the pilots effectively managed during the landing. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway.
The total landing distance of 5,893 feet was 66% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilots' skill and control during the landing phase. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with a score of 98.6%.
