Landing on runway 25L at KLAX Los Angeles International Airport in the Airbus A321

Landing Score 94.85 %

Landing Summary

The Airbus A321 conducted the final approach to runway 25L at Los Angeles International Airport from the east, maintaining a heading of 263.0° at 4 NM and 1,271 ft AGL. Local weather was 79 °F with a wind of 5 kt from 260°, giving a 5 kt headwind and zero cross-wind.

The aircraft achieved a good threshold height, but the threshold speed was well above the target at 154 kt.

Touchdown occurred 1,390 ft beyond the touchdown zone with a speed of 142 kt, noted as a little fast, and a vertical rate of minus 235 fpm described as fair. Runway touchdown alignment was perfect.

The total landing distance was 6,442 ft, representing 58 % of the 11,080 ft runway, and rollout alignment was perfect.

Reduce the approach and touchdown speeds to meet the target values, which will help place the touchdown within the designated zone. Aim for the aim point about 1,000 ft down the runway to achieve a more centered landing distance.
