Flight Score
Arrival
Reduce power earlier on approach to be at 147 kt by the stabilisation gate, not just by the threshold.
What happened: The approach was too fast at the stabilisation gate, crossing the threshold at 141 kt against a VREF of 147 kt.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator against 147 kt at the stabilisation gate.
See Arrival Approach
Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
At the 1,000 ft gate: sink rate 2,841 fpm, more than the glideslope needed, glideslope 4.4° against the runway's 3°, centreline 1.4° off, against a 1° limit and speed 46 kt FAST on the reference speed of 147 kt.
At the 500 ft gate: speed 43 kt FAST on the reference speed of 147 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,739 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 429 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The 1.90 G arrival is the firm side of smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Charlotte Douglas International Airport, the Boeing 737-800 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 11 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. As the aircraft reached the end of runway 18C, it initiated its departure roll, accelerating down the 1,616-meter stretch of asphalt that comprised 53% of the runway's total length. At a liftoff speed of 157 knots, the aircraft successfully lifted off into the warm air, with a temperature of 28 degrees Celsius and a gentle headwind of 5 knots.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, ascending from 1,686 feet above sea level to 26,861 feet in a mere 13 minutes, covering a distance of 81 nautical miles. The climb was characterized by a steady increase in altitude, with the aircraft reaching its cruising altitude of 26,861 feet. Over the course of the flight, the aircraft engaged in multiple level cruises, each lasting between 2 and 9 minutes, and covering distances ranging from 6 to 59 nautical miles. The aircraft also underwent several descents, with the most significant one occurring from 26,553 feet to 15,310 feet in just 3 minutes, covering 21 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, it initiated its final approach to runway 26R, descending from 7,158 feet to 2,701 feet in 5 minutes, covering 19 nautical miles. The landing was characterized by a touchdown speed of 136 knots and a touchdown distance of 425 meters, which was well within the acceptable limits. The aircraft's runway touchdown alignment was also perfect, with the aircraft coming to rest on the centerline of the runway. Following a smooth rollout, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took just 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 246 nautical miles, with the aircraft using 2,699 kilograms of fuel in the process, and completing the journey in 51 minutes.
The Boeing 737-800 touched down on runway 26R at KATL Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport with a satisfactory approach quality, despite a threshold height of 77 ft agl, which was above the target. The aircraft maintained a good threshold speed of 142 kt, indicating a well-executed approach. As the aircraft made contact with the runway, it achieved a touchdown distance of 425 m, which was within acceptable limits.
The touchdown speed of 136 kt was also good, but the touchdown rate of -900 fpm was very heavy, indicating a possible need for adjustment in the approach configuration. However, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, with the aircraft centered on the runway. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 26 °C and a light wind of 3 kt at 190 °, contributed to a relatively smooth landing. The crosswind and headwind components were minimal, with 3 kt and 1 kt respectively.
The total landing distance of 1,140 m, which accounted for 42% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, with the aircraft maintaining its centerline alignment throughout the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was satisfactory, with a score of 87.8%, indicating a good performance in terms of approach quality, touchdown characteristics, and rollout alignment.
