Improve the rollout
Ground control varies with speed, full authority at walking pace, progressively reducing as groundspeed rises. The aircraft becomes twitchy at any speed, every small pedal input swings the nose, which can encourage large-amplitude leg inputs that no real aircraft would accept.

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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
At the 500 ft gate: speed 25 kt FAST on the reference speed of 125 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,713 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 569 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from KBRO Brownsville South Padre Island International Airport, the aircraft began its taxiing process from the parking area to the runway, taking approximately 6 minutes to cover a distance of 1 nautical mile. Upon reaching runway 13, the aircraft initiated its departure roll, utilizing 50% of the available runway length of 1,122 meters to achieve liftoff at a speed of 144 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 30°C, with a wind speed of 15 knots at 109°, resulting in a 7-knot crosswind and a 14-knot headwind.
As the aircraft climbed to its enroute altitude, it began its ascent from 1,059 feet above sea level, eventually reaching a cruising altitude of 43,883 feet above sea level, an increase of 42,824 feet in 18 minutes and covering a distance of 108 nautical miles. The enroute climb phase concluded overhead Villa Pancho, Texas, marking the beginning of the level cruise phase, which lasted for 140 minutes and covered a distance of 1,002 nautical miles. The aircraft then commenced its enroute descent, starting 1 mile south east of CA90 Cadiz Airstrip, Cadiz, California, and descending from 42,698 feet to 1,382 feet above sea level, a decrease of 41,316 feet in 24 minutes and covering a distance of 145 nautical miles.
Upon reaching the final approach phase, the aircraft began its descent towards runway 24R at KLAX Los Angeles International Airport, approaching from the east at a heading of 263.0°. The local weather conditions at the time of landing featured a temperature of 15°C, with a wind speed of 12 knots at 240°, resulting in a 5-knot crosswind and an 11-knot headwind. The aircraft landed on the runway, with a touchdown point 150 meters beyond the touchdown zone, at a speed of 134 knots, and a touchdown rate of -118 feet per minute. The total landing distance was 1,276 meters, accounting for 47% of the available runway length. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking approximately 1 minute to cover a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,262 nautical miles, with a total flight time of 189 minutes and a fuel consumption of 2,903 kilograms.
The aircraft touched down on runway 24R at KLAX Los Angeles International Airport, a 2,712-meter-long runway, after a final approach from the east. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height achieved. However, the threshold speed was excessively high at 146 knots, indicating a need for adjustment in the approach configuration. The touchdown point was 150 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed of 134 knots was too fast, resulting in a slightly higher than ideal touchdown rate of -118 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.8 meters from the centreline, which was also reflected in the runway rollout alignment, which was off by 9.6 meters from the centreline. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a 12-knot wind at 240 degrees, contributed to a 5-knot crosswind and an 11-knot headwind. The aircraft's performance was affected by these conditions, but the touchdown characteristics were generally smooth.
The total landing distance of 1,276 meters was 47% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance. Overall, the landing performance scored 90.4%, reflecting a good but not exceptional performance. The excessive threshold speed and high touchdown speed were the main areas for improvement, but the smooth touchdown rate and relatively short landing distance were positive aspects of the landing.
