Landing on runway 28 at KATL Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport in the Boeing B737-800

Landing Score 58.2 %

Landing Summary

The Boeing B737-800 aircraft has landed on runway 28 at KATL Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport, scoring 58.2%. The landing was conducted on a runway with a length of 8,983 ft, which is considered sufficient for the aircraft. The threshold height was good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct height as it approached the runway.

The threshold speed of 138 kt was also within the acceptable range, suggesting that the pilot had maintained a safe speed as they prepared to touch down. The touchdown distance of 212 ft was good, indicating that the pilot had maintained control of the aircraft and had not over-extended the landing. The touchdown speed of 137 kt was also within the acceptable range, further indicating that the pilot had handled the landing safely.

However, the touchdown rate of -1,030 fpm was very heavy, suggesting that the pilot may have applied too much reverse thrust or braking during the landing. This could potentially have caused the aircraft to skid or lose control, although in this case, it appears that the pilot was able to maintain control.

One of the major issues with this landing was the runway touchdown position, which was excessively misaligned by 207 ft from the centreline. This suggests that the pilot may have been off-centre as they touched down, which could have made it difficult to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout. The runway rollout alignment was also excessively misaligned by 209 ft from the centreline, further indicating that the pilot may have struggled to maintain control of the aircraft during the landing.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were mild, with a temperature of 65 °F. This suggests that the weather was not a factor in the landing, and that the pilot's performance was the primary cause of the issues with the landing.

Overall, while the landing was not perfect, it appears that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft and bring it to a safe stop. However, the heavy touchdown rate and excessive misalignment of the runway touchdown position and rollout alignment suggest that the pilot may have been able to improve their performance during the landing.
