Flight Score
Departure
Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.
What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 7°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
Arrival
Keep the back pressure coming once the flare is established, holding the nose up through to touchdown instead of easing it.
What happened: The flare arrested the sink but 166 fpm of it came back before touchdown, and in flights like this one that returning sink usually carries through to a firm or hard touchdown at 364 fpm.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: the sink held near zero all the way through touchdown, not allowed to build back up.
The rudder input is a changing profile through the roll rather than one that is held. So the demand on your right foot starts large at power application, eases as speed builds and the rudder gains authority, then jumps again at rotation.

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 1,677 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,677 m of the 2,712 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 537 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Airbus A320 taxiing from the parking area to the runway at San Francisco International Airport (KSFO), taking approximately 8 minutes and covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 01L, with a takeoff distance of 1,326 meters, which accounted for 59% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 156 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of KSFO, it began its enroute climb 1 mile northeast of the airport, rising from 1,037 feet above sea level to 9,627 feet above sea level in just 3 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles. The climb was followed by a brief level cruise 1 mile southwest of San Bruno, lasting 3 minutes and covering 16 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began another enroute climb 2 miles north of La Honda, this time rising from 10,010 feet above sea level to 37,009 feet above sea level in 18 minutes, covering a distance of 129 nautical miles. Following this climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise 10 miles southwest of Avenal, lasting 5 minutes and covering 41 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its descent 9 miles east of Lost Hills Airport (KLOS), descending from 36,928 feet above sea level to 1,434 feet above sea level in 24 minutes, covering a distance of 109 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 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,293 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 24R was successful, with a touchdown point 119 meters beyond the touchdown zone. However, the touchdown speed of 126 knots was slightly faster than desired, and the touchdown rate of -293 feet per minute was fair. The runway touchdown position was also slightly misaligned from the centerline by 14.3 meters.
The total landing distance was 1,594 meters, which accounted for 59% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned from the centerline by 14.2 meters. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking approximately 6 minutes and covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 308 nautical miles, taking a total of 69 minutes, and the aircraft used 2,619 kilograms of fuel during the flight. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 14 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 3 knots at 70 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 1 knot and a tailwind of 3 knots.
The Airbus A320 aircraft successfully landed on runway 24R at KLAX Los Angeles International Airport, achieving a score of 92.0%. The final approach was initiated from the east, heading 263.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,293 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a threshold speed of 134 knots, which was considered good. However, the touchdown speed of 126 knots was slightly faster than ideal, resulting in a touchdown rate of -293 feet per minute (fpm), which was deemed fair. The touchdown point was 119 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, indicating a slight deviation from the intended landing spot.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 14°C and a wind speed of 3 knots from a direction of 70°. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a tailwind of 3 knots, which did not significantly impact the landing. The runway length was 2,712 meters, providing a sufficient distance for the aircraft to land and roll out.
The total landing distance was 1,594 meters, which accounted for 59% of the available runway length. Although the aircraft landed within the designated runway area, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 14.3 meters from the centerline. Additionally, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 14.2 meters from the centerline, indicating a minor deviation from the intended path.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score despite some minor deviations from the ideal landing parameters. The pilots demonstrated good control and management of the aircraft during the final approach and landing phases, resulting in a safe and efficient touchdown on the runway.
