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.
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 1,629 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,629 m of the 2,712 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 481 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 17 minutes and covered a distance of 5 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Cessna Longitude, then departed from runway 26R at KLAS Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas, Nevada. The takeoff distance was 778 meters, which accounted for 23% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 128 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 14 degrees Celsius and winds of 7 knots at 10 degrees. The crosswind was 7 knots, while the tailwind was 1 knot. After departing from KLAS, the aircraft began its enroute climb, which started overhead the airport and reached an altitude of 28,574 feet above sea level. The climb was a significant increase of 25,372 feet in just 10 minutes, covering a distance of 52 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, which started 15 miles west of the Hart Mine Airport in Ivanpah, California. This cruise phase lasted for 9 minutes and covered a distance of 64 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 9 miles east of the B airport. The descent was from 28,673 feet to 14,187 feet above sea level, a decrease of 14,486 feet in 9 minutes, covering a distance of 51 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started overhead Rialto, California, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 11 nautical miles. The final descent phase began overhead the Ontario International Airport in Ontario, California. The descent was from 13,682 feet to 1,387 feet above sea level, a decrease of 12,295 feet in 10 minutes, covering a distance of 37 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 24R at KLAX Los Angeles International Airport was from the east, with a heading of 263.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,250 feet above ground level. The landing on the runway was successful, with a touchdown point 65 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was slightly above the target at 127 knots, while the touchdown rate was fair at -268 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 12.1 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 12 degrees Celsius and winds of 6 knots at 100 degrees. The crosswind was 2 knots, while the tailwind was 6 knots. The total landing distance was 1,548 meters, which accounted for 57% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also misaligned by 21.8 meters from the centerline. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took less than 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 226 nautical miles, which was completed in 57 minutes. The aircraft used 963 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Cessna Longitude aircraft successfully landed on runway 24R at KLAX Los Angeles International Airport, achieving a score of 90.3%. The final approach to the runway was initiated from the east, heading 263.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,250 feet above ground level.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down 65 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is slightly off-target. The touchdown speed of 111 knots was a bit faster than the target speed, indicating that the pilot may have needed to apply more braking force to slow down the aircraft. The touchdown rate of -268 feet per minute was considered fair, suggesting that the pilot managed to control the descent effectively.
However, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 12.1 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the pilot's alignment during the approach. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 12°C and a wind speed of 6 knots from a direction of 100°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, while the tailwind component was 6 knots, which may have contributed to the slight deviation in the touchdown position.
The total landing distance of 1,548 meters was 57% of the available runway length, indicating that the pilot managed to bring the aircraft to a stop within a reasonable distance. However, the runway rollout alignment was also misaligned by 21.8 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the pilot's alignment during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, but there were some minor deviations in the pilot's alignment and touchdown speed. These deviations can be addressed through further training and practice to improve the pilot's skills and reduce the risk of errors during future landings.
