Slow the descent speed
Below 10,000 ft you are typically limited to 250 kt indicated (a US rule that much of the world mirrors in some form, though not universally). This forces a deceleration around 10,000 ft whether the profile wants one or not, so plan for it rather than discovering 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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,376 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 505 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in the Cessna Longitude began with a 7-minute taxi from the parking area to the runway at KLAS Harry Reid International Airport. The departure took place on runway 01R, with a takeoff distance of 850 meters, covering 33% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 128 knots, with the local weather indicating a temperature of 16°C and a 5 knot wind at 190°, resulting in a 1 knot crosswind and 5 knot tailwind.
Once enroute, the climb started over Paradise in Nevada, with the aircraft climbing from 3,175 feet above sea level to 28,573 feet above sea level, a total increase of 25,397 feet in just 10 minutes, covering 46 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise began 12 miles west of 9CL4 Hart Mine Airport Ivanpah in California and lasted for 11 minutes, covering 81 nautical miles.
The descent phase of the flight started 2 miles northwest of 6CA5 Valley Vista Airport Yucca Valley in California, with the aircraft descending from 28,579 feet above sea level to 1,942 feet above sea level, a total decrease of 26,637 feet in 17 minutes and covering 87 nautical miles. The landing took place on runway 25L at KLAX Los Angeles International Airport, with a runway length of 3,376 meters. The aircraft was at a height of 38 feet above ground level at the threshold, with a speed of 129 knots. The touchdown occurred 505 meters from the threshold, with a touchdown speed of 114 knots and a vertical speed indicator reading of -164 feet per minute. The local weather at the time indicated a temperature of 16°C, with a 7 knot wind at 240° resulting in a 3 knot crosswind and 6 knot headwind. The total landing distance was 1,068 meters, covering 32% of the runway.
Finally, a 5-minute taxi from the runway to the parking area concluded the flight, covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 224 nautical miles, taking 53 minutes and using 920 kilograms of fuel.
First off, congratulations on the impressive aircraft landing score of 96.7%! This is a testament to your skills as a pilot and the expertise you bring to your work.
Let's break down the different phases of the landing to see where you excelled and where there might be some room for improvement.
During the Approach Phase, you demonstrated excellent glideslope alignment, ensuring that the aircraft was descending at the correct angle towards the runway. Additionally, your speed control was well above target, indicating a high level of precision in managing the aircraft's velocity during this critical phase.
Moving on to the Landing Phase, it's apparent that you did a great job with the threshold height, which is key in ensuring a smooth touchdown. Your landing flare was described as great, indicating that you executed the flare maneuver effectively, helping to cushion the impact as the aircraft made contact with the runway.
In the Touchdown Phase, your touchdown rate was good, indicating that you managed to touch down smoothly and without any excessive force. While your speed was slightly above target, this is a minor deviation that can easily be addressed with practice. The fact that the touchdown point was 80 meters beyond the touchdown zone is something to take note of, as it suggests that adjustments may be needed in order to ensure a more precise touchdown location. Additionally, the runway touchdown position being 3.7 meters from the centerline could be improved upon to enhance alignment with the runway.
Finally, in the Rollout Phase, the runway alignment being 8.6 meters from the centerline is an area where you could focus on improving your precision in taxiing the aircraft along the runway centerline.
Overall, your high landing score reflects your strong performance in the different phases of the landing process. By paying attention to the areas where there is room for improvement, such as touchdown point accuracy and runway alignment, you can continue to refine your skills and strive for even greater success in your future landings. Keep up the great work!
