Landing on runway 24R at KLAX Los Angeles International Airport in the Airbus A320

Landing Score 94.63 %

Landing Summary

The Airbus A320 successfully landed at Los Angeles International Airport (KLAX) on runway 24R, achieving a high score of 94.6%. The aircraft approached the runway from the east, heading 263.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,268 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot maintained a good threshold height, which is a critical aspect of a safe landing.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was recorded at 135 knots, which is within the acceptable range. The touchdown point was located 676 feet beyond the designated touchdown zone, but this is not considered a significant deviation. The touchdown speed of 125 knots was also within the acceptable range, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown rate of -4 feet per minute (fpm) was perfect, demonstrating a gentle and stable landing.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 55°F and no wind. This allowed the pilot to maintain a steady course and avoid any potential challenges posed by wind shear or turbulence. The aircraft's runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot had successfully aligned the aircraft with the runway centerline.

The total landing distance of 3,927 feet was 44% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. This suggests that the pilot had successfully managed the aircraft's descent and touchdown, minimizing the use of runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the pilot had maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.

Overall, the Airbus A320's landing at KLAX was a successful and well-executed maneuver, with the pilot demonstrating excellent skills and control throughout the approach and touchdown phases.
