Work on the flare
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 1,611 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,611 m of the 2,738 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 752 m 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 5 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a CRJ900, then departed from runway 05 at KOAJ Albert J Ellis Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,323 meters, which accounted for 61% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 152 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 4 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 9 knots at a direction of 20 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 9 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile northeast of KOAJ Albert J Ellis Airport, and climbed from an altitude of 1,108 feet above sea level to 31,266 feet above sea level, an increase of 30,158 feet, in 10 minutes and covering a distance of 77 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 2 miles east of 89NC Strickland Field Fair Bluff. This phase lasted for 9 minutes and covered a distance of 182 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 4 miles east of Warrenton, and descended from an altitude of 31,744 feet above sea level to 3,250 feet above sea level, a decrease of 28,494 feet, in 16 minutes and covering a distance of 115 nautical miles.
The enroute descent was followed by another level cruise phase, which started 3 miles northeast of 7GA9 Smisson Field Whitesburg and lasted for 5 minutes, covering a distance of 16 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 09R at KATL Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport, approaching from the west at a heading of 90.0 degrees and at an altitude of 1,296 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 09R was successful, with a touchdown point located 335 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was slightly above the target speed at 151 knots, but the touchdown rate was good at -192 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 7.5 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 4 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 13 knots at a direction of 130 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 9 knots and a headwind of 10 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,530 meters, which accounted for 56% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 398 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 49 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 2,511 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The CRJ900 aircraft successfully landed at Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport (KATL) on runway 09R, achieving a score of 92.8%. The final approach was initiated from the west, heading 90.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,296 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a steady course, and the landing was executed on the designated runway, which has a length of 2,738 meters.
The threshold height was satisfactory, but the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 151 knots. This minor deviation from the ideal speed may have contributed to a slightly faster touchdown speed of 138 knots. However, the touchdown rate of -192 feet per minute (fpm) was considered good, indicating a controlled descent.
The touchdown point was located 335 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The runway touchdown position was also slightly misaligned by 7.5 meters from the centerline, but this did not appear to have a significant impact on the overall landing performance.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 4°C and a wind speed of 13 knots from a direction of 130°. The crosswind component was 9 knots, while the headwind component was 10 knots. These conditions may have contributed to the slightly faster touchdown speed and the deviation from the centerline.
The total landing distance was 1,530 meters, which represents 56% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain a high level of control and stability throughout the landing process. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, suggesting that the aircraft was able to maintain a stable and controlled trajectory after touchdown.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score of 92.8%. While there were some minor deviations from the ideal performance, the pilot was able to maintain control and stability throughout the landing process, resulting in a safe and efficient touchdown.
