Flight Score
Departure
Level the wings with coordinated aileron to hold bank angle near zero during the initial climb, starting from 3.9°.
What happened: Bank angle was elevated during the initial climb and excess bank usually persists into the second climb segment.
Watch for: Attitude indicator, wings level with bank angle near zero degrees.
Twenty knots on a monitor produces the visual sensation of about ten. The advice to "taxi at a walking pace" cannot fix this, because your sense of walking pace is exactly the thing that's broken. Put the groundspeed readout in your scan and obey it for the next fifty flights, the way a student pilot leans on the airspeed indicator before learning to read attitude.

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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,925 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,925 m of the 2,901 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 353 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
A flight originating from Melbourne International Airport (YMML) departed runway 16, utilizing 1,735 meters of the 3,700-meter runway to achieve liftoff at a speed of 169 knots. The aircraft encountered a crosswind of 12 knots and a headwind of 8 knots, with a temperature of 17 degrees Celsius and a wind direction of 230 degrees. The takeoff roll was completed in 47% of the available runway length.
Following departure, the aircraft initiated an enroute climb, ascending from 1,351 feet above sea level to 32,997 feet in 15 minutes, covering a distance of 263 nautical miles. The climb phase was followed by a level cruise, which lasted 34 minutes and spanned 1,278 nautical miles. The aircraft continued to climb and cruise, adjusting its altitude and heading to optimize fuel efficiency and minimize flight time. The enroute climb and cruise phases were punctuated by brief periods of climbing to higher altitudes, with the aircraft ultimately reaching a cruising altitude of 41,000 feet.
The flight concluded with a descent from 41,001 feet to 1,388 feet above sea level, a decrease of 39,613 feet in 15 minutes, covering 148 nautical miles. The aircraft then initiated a final approach to runway 06R at Los Angeles International Airport (KLAX), touching down at a speed of 136 knots and a distance of 352 meters. The total landing distance was 1,839 meters, with the aircraft utilizing 63% of the available runway length. Following touchdown, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, completing a total flight distance of 6,922 nautical miles and utilizing 85,771 kilograms of fuel in 232 minutes.
The aircraft touched down on runway 06R at KLAX Los Angeles International Airport with a slightly above-target threshold speed of 137 kt. The approach quality was good, with a well-executed final approach from the west, heading 83.0° at 4 nm and 1,249 ft above ground level. The threshold height was satisfactory, allowing for a smooth transition to the runway.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was a little fast at 136 kt, resulting in a hard touchdown rate of -404 fpm. The touchdown distance of 352 m was within acceptable limits, and the aircraft remained on the runway for a total distance of 1,839 m, which equated to 63% of the runway length. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 7.0 m from the centreline, but the rollout alignment was very good, indicating a high level of control and precision during the landing phase.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 21 °C and a wind speed of 1 kt from 181°, resulting in a negligible crosswind component. Overall, the landing performance was satisfactory, with a score of 95.0%. However, the hard touchdown rate and slightly fast touchdown speed were notable areas for improvement.
