The Sirius aircraft successfully landed on runway 06L at KLAX Los Angeles International Airport, achieving a score of 90.8%. The final approach was initiated from the west, heading 83.0° at an altitude of 166 feet above ground level (agl) and 0 nautical miles from the runway. The aircraft maintained a steady course, aligning perfectly with the runway during the approach.
Upon reaching the threshold, the aircraft's height was slightly above the target, but the threshold speed was satisfactory at 58 knots. The touchdown point was 163 feet beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The touchdown speed of 52 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -78 feet per minute (fpm) was excellent, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 62°F and a gentle wind of 8 knots from 270°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the tailwind component was 8 knots, which may have contributed to the slightly longer than expected landing distance.
The total landing distance of 2,481 feet was 28% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft maintained its direction and speed during the rollout phase, ensuring a safe and controlled stop.
Overall, the Sirius aircraft's landing performance was impressive, with a high score and excellent metrics in several key areas. The pilots' skills and experience were evident in their ability to navigate the aircraft safely and efficiently, even in the presence of a moderate tailwind.
