Departure
Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.
What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 4.1°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
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.

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 6,442 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 6,442 ft of the 11,076 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 2,514 ft past the threshold — beyond 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 11 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 01L at San Francisco International Airport (KSFO). The takeoff distance was 4,977 feet, which accounted for 68% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 166 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 58°F and winds of 6 knots at 70°. The crosswind was 4 knots, and the headwind was 5 knots. After departing from KSFO, the aircraft began its enroute climb, which started overhead the airport and reached an altitude of 37,030 feet above sea level (asl) in 21 minutes, covering a distance of 108 nautical miles. The climb was from an initial altitude of 1,052 feet asl to the final altitude.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, which started 12 miles northeast of San Lucas, California. This cruise phase lasted for 12 minutes and covered a distance of 83 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 7 miles southwest of Derby Acres, California. The descent was from 37,038 feet asl to 2,599 feet asl in 22 minutes, covering a distance of 92 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 7 miles southeast of Malibu, California. This cruise phase lasted for only 2 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, which started 7 miles southwest of Venice Beach, Los Angeles. The descent was from 2,341 feet asl to 1,372 feet asl in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 07R at Los Angeles International Airport (KLAX) was from the west, with a heading of 83.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,234 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft landed on the runway, which had a length of 11,076 feet. The threshold height was slightly above the target, and the threshold speed was well above the target at 142 knots.
The touchdown point was 1,123 feet beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 132 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was fair at -203 feet per minute (fpm). The runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 57°F and winds of 4 knots at 80°, with a crosswind of 0 knots and a headwind of 4 knots.
The total landing distance was 6,151 feet, which accounted for 56% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking, which took 5 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 302 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 77 minutes. The aircraft used 7,427 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at Los Angeles International Airport (KLAX) on runway 07R. The final approach was initiated from the west, heading 83.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,234 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's performance during the landing was evaluated based on several key parameters.
The threshold height at 57 feet agl was slightly above the target, indicating a minor deviation from the ideal landing height. However, the threshold speed of 142 knots was significantly above the target, suggesting that the aircraft was descending at a faster rate than intended. This could be attributed to the aircraft's configuration or the pilot's decision to descend more aggressively.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 1,123 feet beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively long distance. The touchdown speed of 132 knots was a little fast, indicating that the aircraft may have been touching down with some excess energy. The touchdown rate of -203 feet per minute (fpm) was considered fair, suggesting that the aircraft was not descending at an optimal rate.
Despite these minor deviations, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 57°F and a headwind of 4 knots at 80°.
The total landing distance of 6,151 feet was 56% of the runway length, which is a relatively long distance. However, the runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was aligned with the runway centerline during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with some minor deviations from the ideal performance.
