Flight Score
Arrival
Keep the back pressure coming through the flare so the sink does not return at 203 fpm.
What happened: The flare arrested the sink, but then the sink returned before touchdown.
Watch for: Watch the VSI in the flare and keep arrested sink from returning before touchdown at 109 fpm.
See Arrival Landing
Twenty knots on a monitor produces the visual sensation of about ten. The advice to "taxi at a walking pace" cannot fix this, because your sense of walking pace is exactly the thing that's broken. Put the groundspeed readout in your scan and obey it for the next fifty flights, the way a student pilot leans on the airspeed indicator before learning to read attitude.

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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 10,510 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,303 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The aircraft departed KLAX on runway 24L. The take-off roll was 1,272 ft, representing 13 % of the runway, and rotation occurred at 89 kt. Local weather was 66 °F with a wind of 10 kt from 329°, giving a 9 kt crosswind and a 4 kt headwind.
Initial climb to 1,000 ft agl lasted 45 seconds, averaging 1,071 fpm and reaching 125 kt at the top of the climb. The climb continued from 1,129 ft asl to 28,993 ft asl in 21 minutes, covering 79 nm and beginning about 1 mile north-west of El Segundo. Level cruise was held at 29,000 ft asl for 20 minutes, covering 120 nm, starting roughly 2 miles north-west of Apple Valley. Descent from 28,740 ft asl to 3,586 ft asl took 9 minutes over 37 nm, beginning about 3 miles north-west of 0L7 Jean Jean.
Final approach to runway 26L at KLAS began at 1,536 ft agl and descended to 103 ft agl in 139 seconds. Stabilisation checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway were all met: gear down, landing flap, sink rate, glideslope, centreline, speed, and wings level. The aircraft was in final flap position 2 at 461 ft agl with a speed of 99 kt.
Landing on runway 26L was performed with a good threshold height. Threshold speed was 85 kt. The flare was described as excellent. Touchdown occurred 1,303 ft down the runway at 71 kt, with a smooth rate of -109 fpm. The touchdown point was slightly off centreline by 17 ft. No bounce was observed. Total landing distance was 2,929 ft, representing 28 % of the runway, and rollout alignment was very good.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to parking in 4 minutes, covering less than 1 nm. The overall flight covered 244 nm in 62 minutes and consumed 421 lb of fuel.
