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.
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 1,787 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,787 m of the 2,738 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 604 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 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a CRJ900, then departed from runway 08 at KPNS Pensacola International Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,283 meters, which accounted for 60% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 155 knots, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 24 degrees Celsius, a wind speed of 6 knots at 69 degrees, resulting in a 1-knot crosswind and a 6-knot headwind.
As the aircraft climbed, it started its enroute climb 1 mile east of KPNS Pensacola International Airport, rising from 1,052 feet above sea level to 25,908 feet above sea level, an increase of 24,856 feet in 11 minutes, covering a distance of 56 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise began 1 mile east of Carolina, Alabama, and lasted for 13 minutes, covering 89 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its enroute descent 6 miles northeast of 06A Moton Field Muni Tuskegee, Alabama, descending from 25,800 feet above sea level to 12,333 feet above sea level, a decrease of 13,467 feet in 11 minutes, covering 61 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise resumed 2 miles southwest of East Newnan, Georgia, and lasted for 3 minutes, covering 17 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent 1 mile south of Fairburn, Georgia, descending from 12,287 feet above sea level to 2,370 feet above sea level, a decrease of 9,917 feet in 13 minutes, covering 13 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 27L at KATL Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport was made from the east, heading 271.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,341 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 27L at KATL Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport was successful, with a runway length of 2,738 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was 140 knots. The touchdown point was 185 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 129 knots and a smooth touchdown rate of -149 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.3 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius, a wind speed of 3 knots at 130 degrees, resulting in a 2-knot crosswind and a 3-knot tailwind.
The total landing distance was 1,704 meters, which accounted for 62% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took less than 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 243 nautical miles, taking 57 minutes, and the aircraft used 1,512 kilograms of fuel.
The CRJ900 aircraft successfully landed at Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport (KATL) on runway 27L, achieving a high score of 97.5%. The final approach was initiated from the east, heading 271.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,341 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 140 knots.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 185 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 129 knots. The touchdown rate was smooth, at -149 feet per minute (fpm), indicating a controlled descent. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 3.3 meters, which may require some adjustments during future approaches.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 16°C and a gentle wind of 3 knots from a direction of 130°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, while the tailwind component was 3 knots. These conditions contributed to a smooth landing.
The total landing distance covered by the aircraft was 1,704 meters, which accounted for 62% of the runway length. This indicates that the aircraft had sufficient runway remaining for safe deceleration. The runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilot maintained control and stability during the landing roll.
Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score and demonstrating good control and stability throughout the approach and landing phases.
