Improve the rollout
Ground control varies with speed, full authority at walking pace, progressively reducing as groundspeed rises. The aircraft becomes twitchy at any speed, every small pedal input swings the nose, which can encourage large-amplitude leg inputs that no real aircraft would accept.

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 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 11,076 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 696 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in question was operated by a Cessna 208B aircraft. The takeoff from runway 26 at KCXL Calexico International Airport was smooth, with a takeoff distance of 2,030 feet, which accounted for 45% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 81 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time were characterized by a temperature of 90°F and winds of 7 knots at 134°.
As the aircraft began its enroute climb, it started 1 mile west of the Johnson Brothers Airport, climbing from 1,003 feet above sea level to 1,742 feet, an increase of 739 feet, in just 1 minute and covering a distance of 3 nautical miles. The climb was followed by a level cruise, which lasted for 3 minutes and covered another 3 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began another climb, this time from 2,190 feet above sea level to 6,513 feet, an increase of 4,322 feet, in 7 minutes and covering a distance of 16 nautical miles. This was followed by a prolonged level cruise, which lasted for 34 minutes and covered a distance of 70 nautical miles, as the aircraft flew overhead the Emory Ranch Airport.
The next climb was from 6,162 feet above sea level to 12,322 feet, an increase of 6,160 feet, in 8 minutes and covering a distance of 18 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a level cruise, which lasted for 5 minutes and covered a distance of 14 nautical miles, as it flew 1 mile north-west of Lake Elsinore.
As the aircraft began its descent, it started 2 miles south of the Riverside Municipal Airport, descending from 12,332 feet above sea level to 10,451 feet, a decrease of 1,881 feet, in 3 minutes and covering a distance of 8 nautical miles. The descent was followed by a level cruise, which lasted for 2 minutes and covered another 3 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began another descent, this time from 10,047 feet above sea level to 7,459 feet, a decrease of 2,588 feet, in 5 minutes and covering a distance of 8 nautical miles. This was followed by a level cruise, which lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles.
The next descent was from 6,745 feet above sea level to 5,153 feet, a decrease of 1,593 feet, in 2 minutes and covering a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a level cruise, which lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles, as it flew overhead Hacienda Heights.
As the aircraft continued its descent, it started overhead Whittier, descending from 5,119 feet above sea level to 4,054 feet, a decrease of 1,065 feet, in 2 minutes and covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The descent was followed by a level cruise, which lasted for 8 minutes and covered a distance of 12 nautical miles, as the aircraft flew overhead West Whittier-Los Nietos.
The final approach to runway 25L at KLAX Los Angeles International Airport was made from the east, with a heading of 263.0° and at an altitude of 1,887 feet above ground level. The landing was smooth, with a touchdown distance of 640 feet and a touchdown speed of 65 knots. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the local weather conditions at the time were characterized by a temperature of 69°F and winds of 8 knots at 240°.
The total landing distance was 4,582 feet, which accounted for 41
The Cessna 208B aircraft successfully landed on runway 25L at KLAX Los Angeles International Airport, achieving a high score of 89.3%. The final approach was conducted from the east, heading 263.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,887 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft demonstrated good control and precision during the approach, ultimately touching down on the runway with a speed of 71 knots, which was within the acceptable threshold speed.
The touchdown distance of 640 feet was also within the acceptable range, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain a stable and controlled descent. The touchdown speed of 65 knots was good, and the touchdown rate of -305 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, suggesting that the aircraft was able to absorb the impact of landing smoothly. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 69°F and a wind speed of 8 knots from 240°. The crosswind component was minimal at 3 knots, while the headwind component was 7 knots, which helped to stabilize the aircraft during the approach. The total landing distance of 4,582 feet was 41% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft was able to stop within a reasonable distance.
However, there was a minor issue with the runway rollout alignment, which was misaligned by 82 feet from the centerline. This suggests that the aircraft may have drifted slightly off course during the rollout phase, but it did not appear to have any significant impact on the overall landing performance. Overall, the Cessna 208B aircraft demonstrated good handling and control during the landing, and the pilot's skills and experience were evident in the smooth and controlled execution of the maneuver.
