Next time

Departure

Make small rudder corrections against a fixed point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline during the roll.

What happened: The aircraft drifted 348 ft off the runway centreline during the ground roll, and wing drift like that usually keeps reappearing as bank in the climb, with 15° of bank in the first climb segment and 14° still showing in the second.

Watch for: Heading indicator: steady on the runway centreline during the roll, then wings level through the climb.

See Departure RollDeparture Climb 1Departure Climb 2

Arrival

Begin raising the nose earlier, by 11 ft, so the flare has time to arrest the sink before touchdown.

What happened: The flare began late at 1.9 ft, 9.3 ft below the normal band, and a late flare like this usually leaves too little time to arrest the sink before touchdown.

Watch for: Watch radio altitude and start the flare in the normal band, around 11 ft.

See Arrival LandingArrival Touchdown

Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without it.

Flight narrative

The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking area to the runway, which took 9 minutes and covered a distance of 11 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Cessna 208B, then departed from runway 25L at Los Angeles International Airport (KLAX). The takeoff distance was 89 feet, which accounted for 1% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 107 knots.

As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 66°F and a wind speed of 9 knots at 220°. The crosswind was 6 knots, and the headwind was 7 knots. After departing from KLAX, the aircraft began its enroute climb, starting overhead El Segundo, California. The climb took 2 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles, with an increase in altitude from 515 feet above sea level to 2,008 feet above sea level, a total increase of 1,493 feet.

Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 1 mile east of Marina del Rey, California. This phase lasted for 6 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. After the cruise phase, the aircraft began its descent and landing on runway 25L at KLAX. The runway length was 11,076 feet, and the threshold height was well above the target. The threshold speed was good at 68 knots.

The touchdown distance was good at 986 feet, and the touchdown speed was 59 knots, which was also good. However, the touchdown rate was very heavy at -828 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was excessively misaligned by 129 feet from the centreline. The local weather conditions during landing were a temperature of 65°F and a wind speed of 6 knots at 269°, with a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 6 knots.

The total landing distance was 3,341 feet, which accounted for 30% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also excessively misaligned by 202 feet from the centreline. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, which took 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 17 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 11 minutes. The aircraft used 60 pounds of fuel during the flight.

Landing on runway 25L at KLAX Los Angeles International Airport in the Cessna 208B
Landing Score 60.94 %
Landing Summary

The Cessna 208B aircraft successfully landed on runway 25L at KLAX Los Angeles International Airport, achieving a score of 60.9%. The landing was evaluated based on several key parameters, including threshold height, threshold speed, touchdown distance, touchdown speed, and touchdown rate.

The threshold height at 72 ft above ground level (agl) was found to be well above the target, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain a safe altitude during the approach. The threshold speed of 68 kt was also considered good, suggesting that the pilot was able to control the aircraft's speed effectively during the landing.

The touchdown distance of 986 ft was within the acceptable range, indicating that the pilot was able to bring the aircraft to a safe stop within a reasonable distance. The touchdown speed of 59 kt was also good, suggesting that the pilot was able to control the aircraft's speed during the landing. However, the touchdown rate of -828 fpm was considered very heavy, indicating that the aircraft was touching down at a relatively high rate of descent.

One of the areas for improvement was the runway touchdown position, which was excessively misaligned by 129 ft from the centreline. This suggests that the pilot may have been experiencing some difficulty in maintaining a straight course during the landing. The local weather conditions, including a temperature of 65 °F and a wind speed of 6 kt at 269 °, may have contributed to this issue.

The total landing distance of 3,341 ft was 30% of the runway length, which is within the acceptable range. However, the runway rollout alignment was excessively misaligned by 202 ft from the centreline, indicating that the pilot may have been experiencing some difficulty in maintaining a straight course during the rollout.

Overall, while the landing was not perfect, the pilot was able to bring the aircraft to a safe stop within a reasonable distance. However, there are areas for improvement, particularly in terms of maintaining a straight course during the landing and rollout.
