Top opportunity

Work on the flare

Arrival Landing

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 to the runway, which took 6 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 25 at the Santa Barbara Municipal Airport (KSBA), with a takeoff distance of 3,024 feet, which was 50% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 154 knots.

As the aircraft climbed, it started at 1 mile northwest of Isla Vista, California, and reached an altitude of 19,859 feet above sea level (asl) from an initial altitude of 1,099 feet asl. This climb of 18,760 feet took 8 minutes and covered 30 nautical miles. The local weather conditions during this time were characterized by a temperature of 74°F and a wind speed of 5 knots at 220°, resulting in a 4-knot crosswind and a 3-knot headwind.

The enroute level cruise started 6 miles west of Channel Islands Beach, California, and lasted for 8 minutes, covering 6 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent from 19,788 feet asl to 10,770 feet asl, a decrease of 9,018 feet in 5 minutes and covering 28 nautical miles. This descent started overhead Channel Islands Beach.

The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, this time starting 5 miles southwest of Topanga, California, and lasting for 3 minutes, covering 18 nautical miles. The descent from 10,443 feet asl to 4,209 feet asl, a decrease of 6,235 feet in 5 minutes and covering 11 nautical miles, started 1 mile south of Koreatown, California.

The aircraft entered another level cruise phase, starting 1 mile northwest of Santa Fe Springs, California, and lasting for 2 minutes, covering 6 nautical miles. The descent from 4,184 feet asl to 1,954 feet asl, a decrease of 2,231 feet in 2 minutes and covering 6 nautical miles, started overhead Florence-Graham, California.

The final approach to runway 24R at the Los Angeles International Airport (KLAX) was made from the east, heading 263.0° at 2 nautical miles and 1,788 feet above ground level (agl). The landing on runway 24R, which had a length of 8,899 feet, resulted in a touchdown point 421 feet beyond the touchdown zone. The threshold height at 109 feet agl was excessively over target, and the threshold speed was excessively high at 166 knots.

The touchdown speed at 162 knots was excessively fast, and the touchdown rate was very heavy at -1,600 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 41 feet from the centreline. The local weather conditions during landing were characterized by a temperature of 72°F and a wind speed of 11 knots at 250°, resulting in a 2-knot crosswind and an 11-knot headwind.

The total landing distance was 3,865 feet, which was 43% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was misaligned by 63 feet from the centreline. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 6 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 111 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 44 minutes, with a fuel consumption of 1,533 pounds.

Landing Summary

Aircraft C750's landing at KLAX Los Angeles International Airport was marked by several areas of concern. The final approach to runway 24R from the east, heading 263.0° at 2 nm and 1,788 ft above ground level (agl), was the starting point for this evaluation. The aircraft's performance during the landing was assessed based on several key parameters.

One of the primary issues observed during the landing was the excessive height of the threshold at 109 ft agl, which was significantly above the target height. This indicates that the aircraft may have been too high during the approach, potentially leading to a longer landing distance. Additionally, the threshold speed of 166 kt was excessively high, suggesting that the aircraft may have been descending too quickly or that the pilot may have been unable to maintain a stable approach speed.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft's performance was also found to be suboptimal. The touchdown point was located 421 ft beyond the touchdown zone, indicating that the aircraft may have landed too far down the runway. Furthermore, the touchdown speed of 162 kt was excessively fast, and the touchdown rate of -1,600 fpm was very heavy, suggesting that the aircraft may have been experiencing a high rate of descent during the landing.

The runway touchdown position was also found to be misaligned by 41 ft from the centreline, indicating that the aircraft may have been drifting during the landing. This could be due to a variety of factors, including crosswind or pilot error. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing, with a temperature of 72°F and a wind of 11 kt at 250°, may have contributed to the difficulties experienced during the landing.

The total landing distance of 3,865 ft was 43% of the runway length, which is slightly above the average landing distance. However, the runway rollout alignment was also found to be misaligned by 63 ft from the centreline, indicating that the aircraft may have been experiencing difficulties during the rollout phase of the landing.

Overall, Aircraft C750's landing at KLAX Los Angeles International Airport was marked by several areas of concern, including excessive threshold height and speed, a long touchdown distance, and misaligned touchdown and rollout positions. These issues may be due to a variety of factors, including pilot error, aircraft performance, or weather conditions.
