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 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 8,899 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 955 ft 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 8 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-900, then departed from runway 27 at San Diego International Airport (KSAN), with a takeoff distance of 4,520 feet, which was 66% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 155 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions of a temperature of 64°F and a wind speed of 10 knots at 300°. The crosswind component was 2 knots, while the headwind component was 9 knots. After departing from KSAN, the aircraft began its enroute climb, which started 1 mile west of the airport and reached an altitude of 11,421 feet above sea level (asl) in 7 minutes, covering a distance of 30 nautical miles.
The enroute climb involved a significant increase in altitude, from 1,066 feet asl to 11,421 feet asl, a total increase of 10,355 feet. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 18 miles southwest of Oceanside, California, and descended from 11,538 feet asl to 10,369 feet asl, a decrease of 1,169 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 10 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, which started 18 miles south of Dana Point, California, and lasted for 4 minutes, covering a distance of 21 nautical miles. The enroute descent phase began again 5 miles south of Newport Beach, California, and involved a significant decrease in altitude, from 10,191 feet asl to 1,349 feet asl, a total decrease of 8,843 feet in 9 minutes, covering a distance of 32 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 24R at Los Angeles International Airport (KLAX) was made from the east, with a heading of 263.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,210 feet above ground level (agl). The landing was made on runway 24R, which had a length of 8,899 feet. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 144 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 962 feet, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 140 knots. The touchdown rate was good at -199 feet per minute (fpm), and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at KLAX were a temperature of 59°F and a wind speed of 12 knots at 270°, with a crosswind component of 1 knot and a headwind component of 12 knots.
The total landing distance was 3,785 feet, which was 43% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, and the taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 4 minutes, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 101 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 38 minutes, with a fuel consumption of 3,222 pounds.
The Boeing 737-900 aircraft successfully landed at Los Angeles International Airport (KLAX) on runway 24R, achieving a score of 99.8%. The final approach was conducted from the east, heading 263.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,210 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft's performance during the landing was satisfactory, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 144 knots, which is within the acceptable range. The touchdown distance of 962 feet was also within the expected parameters, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. However, the touchdown speed of 140 knots was slightly faster than desired, which may have resulted in a slightly higher touchdown rate.
Despite the slightly high touchdown speed, the aircraft's touchdown rate of -199 feet per minute (fpm) was still within the acceptable range, indicating a controlled and stable touchdown. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilot maintained a stable and aligned approach to the runway.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 59°F and a wind speed of 12 knots from 270°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 12 knots, which helped to stabilize the aircraft during the approach and landing.
The total landing distance of 3,785 feet was 43% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout and brought it to a stop safely and efficiently.
Overall, the landing was a success, with the aircraft performing well within the expected parameters. The pilot's skills and experience were evident in the smooth and controlled approach and landing, which resulted in a high score of 99.8%.
