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.

Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 9,519 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,568 ft touchdown sits inside 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 12 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-900, then departed from runway 15L at George Bush Intercontinental Houston Airport (KIAH). The takeoff distance was 5,850 feet, which was 49% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 157 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 89°F and winds of 3 knots at 179°. The crosswind was 1 knot, and the headwind was 2 knots. After departing from Houston, the aircraft began its enroute climb, starting 2 miles northeast of Aldine, Texas. The climb took 25 minutes, during which the aircraft ascended from 1,098 feet above sea level to 34,038 feet above sea level, an increase of 32,940 feet. The distance covered during this climb was 162 nautical miles.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, starting 3 miles east of the XS75 West Ranch Airport Round Mountain in Texas. This cruise phase lasted 86 minutes and covered a distance of 586 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb, this time starting 10 miles northwest of Bowie, Arizona. The climb took only 2 minutes, during which the aircraft ascended from 34,320 feet above sea level to 36,152 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,832 feet. The distance covered during this climb was 11 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting 7 miles north of the 02AZ Winchester Farm Airstrip in Willcox, Arizona. This cruise phase lasted 47 minutes and covered a distance of 322 nautical miles. As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its descent, starting 1 mile east of Twentynine Palms, California. The descent took 22 minutes, during which the aircraft descended from 36,048 feet above sea level to 1,129 feet above sea level, a decrease of 34,919 feet. The distance covered during this descent was 115 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 24L at Los Angeles International Airport (KLAX) was made from the east, heading 263.0° at 4 nautical miles and 988 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 24L, which had a length of 9,519 feet. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 145 knots. The touchdown point was 202 feet beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 136 knots, which was a little fast. However, the touchdown rate was good at -157 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking, which took 6 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,206 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 209 minutes. The aircraft used 20,185 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-900 aircraft successfully landed at Los Angeles International Airport (KLAX) on runway 24L, achieving a score of 99.6%. The final approach was conducted from the east, heading 263.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 988 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach was characterized by a good threshold height, indicating that the pilots maintained a stable and controlled descent.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 145 knots, which may have contributed to a slightly faster touchdown speed of 136 knots. However, the touchdown rate of -157 feet per minute (fpm) was considered good, indicating a controlled and smooth touchdown. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilots' ability to maintain a stable and aligned approach.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 61°F and a light wind of 3 knots from 250°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 2 knots, which may have contributed to the slightly faster touchdown speed. The total landing distance of 4,688 feet was 49% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance.
The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, demonstrating the pilots' ability to maintain control and stability during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score and demonstrating good control and stability throughout the approach and touchdown phases.
