Improve the takeoff
The rudder input is a changing profile through the roll rather than one that is held. So the demand on your right foot starts large at power application, eases as speed builds and the rudder gains authority, then jumps again at rotation.

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 5,046 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,046 ft of the 8,899 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 2,117 ft 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 8 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 27 at KSAN San Diego International Airport. The takeoff distance was 4,644 feet, which accounted for 68% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 158 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of San Diego, it began its enroute climb 1 mile west of the airport, reaching an altitude of 9,346 feet above sea level. This climb, which covered a distance of 12 nautical miles, took just 3 minutes and involved an increase of 8,312 feet in altitude. Following this, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 6 miles west of La Jolla and lasted for 14 minutes. During this period, the aircraft covered a distance of 59 nautical miles.
As the flight progressed, the aircraft began its enroute descent 1 mile south of Garden Grove. This descent, which covered a distance of 23 nautical miles, took 8 minutes and involved a decrease of 8,661 feet in altitude, from 10,094 feet to 1,433 feet above sea level. The final approach to runway 24R at KLAX Los Angeles International Airport was made from the east, with the aircraft heading 263.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,293 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway.
The landing on runway 24R was successful, with a touchdown speed of 124 knots and a touchdown rate of -240 feet per minute. However, the touchdown point was 756 feet beyond the touchdown zone, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 10 feet from the centreline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 54 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind speed of 4 knots at 120 degrees.
The total landing distance was 4,785 feet, which accounted for 54% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, and the aircraft was able to taxi to the parking area in just 3 minutes, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 102 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 38 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 3,147 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at Los Angeles International Airport (KLAX) on runway 24R, achieving a score of 96.7%. The final approach was initiated from the east, heading 263.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,293 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 138 knots.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 756 feet beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is slightly outside the recommended area. However, the touchdown speed of 124 knots was within the acceptable range, indicating a controlled descent. The touchdown rate of -240 feet per minute (fpm) was fair, suggesting that the aircraft could have maintained a more gradual descent.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 10 feet from the centerline, which may have been due to factors such as wind or pilot error. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 54°F, a wind speed of 4 knots at 120°, and a crosswind of 2 knots and a tailwind of 3 knots.
The total landing distance of 4,785 feet was 54% of the available runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft maintained a stable and controlled path after touchdown. Overall, the landing was successful, but there is room for improvement in terms of touchdown zone accuracy and touchdown rate.
