Monitor your 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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,608 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,608 m of the 2,712 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 335 m touchdown sits inside 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 12 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 777-300, then departed from runway 34L at YSSY Sydney Kingsford Smith International Airport. The takeoff distance was 2,479 meters, which accounted for 64% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 196 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions of 24 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 6 knots at 9 degrees. The crosswind was 2 knots, while the headwind was 6 knots. The enroute climb started overhead Sydenham, where the aircraft ascended from 1,022 feet above sea level to 31,165 feet, an increase of 30,143 feet in 22 minutes and covering 135 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 48 miles east of Smiths Lake and lasted for 560 minutes, covering a distance of 4,757 nautical miles. The aircraft then underwent several enroute climbs and level cruises, each with varying altitudes and distances covered. Notably, one of the climbs took place from 32,519 feet to 36,058 feet in just 3 minutes and covered 28 nautical miles.
As the flight progressed, the aircraft began its descent, starting 49 miles southwest of KLOP Point Bennett Research Station Airstrip Lompoc. The descent from 37,771 feet to 6,160 feet took 25 minutes and covered 132 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 24R at KLAX Los Angeles International Airport was made from the east, with a heading of 263.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,260 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 24R was successful, with a touchdown distance of 338 meters and a touchdown speed of 146 knots. However, the touchdown speed was slightly fast. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.3 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 21 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 9 knots at 259 degrees.
The total landing distance was 1,533 meters, which accounted for 57% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 13 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 6,558 nautical miles, taking 825 minutes and using 117,861 kilograms of fuel.
The Boeing 777-300 aircraft successfully landed at Los Angeles International Airport (KLAX) on runway 24R, achieving a score of 99.5%. The final approach was conducted from the east, heading 263.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,260 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a good threshold height, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The threshold speed of 148 knots was also within the acceptable range, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's speed during the landing phase. The touchdown distance of 338 meters was also satisfactory, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain a stable and controlled approach.
However, the touchdown speed of 146 knots was slightly faster than the desired speed, which may have resulted in a slightly longer rollout distance. The touchdown rate of -171 feet per minute (fpm) was good, indicating that the aircraft was able to absorb the impact of touchdown smoothly.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.3 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the pilot's alignment during the final approach. However, this deviation did not appear to have any significant impact on the overall landing performance.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 21°C and a headwind of 9 knots at 259°. The crosswind component was negligible, with a speed of 0 knots. The total landing distance of 1,533 meters was 57% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight.
The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase and bring it to a stop in a safe and controlled manner. Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated good skills and judgment in managing the aircraft's approach and touchdown.
