Work on the flare
See 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.

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 six checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 8,899 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,231 ft touchdown sits inside 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 8 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 2,640 feet, which accounted for 44% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 140 knots.
As the aircraft climbed, it started its enroute climb overhead Isla Vista, California, and ascended from 1,112 feet above sea level to 17,259 feet above sea level, an increase of 16,147 feet in 6 minutes, covering a distance of 29 nautical miles. The local weather conditions at this time were characterized by a temperature of 58 degrees Fahrenheit.
The enroute descent began 1 mile south of Ventura, California, where the aircraft descended from 17,259 feet above sea level to 6,481 feet above sea level, a decrease of 10,778 feet in 9 minutes, covering a distance of 48 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase 1 mile east of Culver City, California, which lasted for 3 minutes and covered 15 nautical miles.
The enroute descent continued 1 mile north of West Whittier-Los Nietos, California, where the aircraft descended from 6,067 feet above sea level to 1,340 feet above sea level, a decrease of 4,726 feet in 5 minutes, covering a distance of 14 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 24R at the Los Angeles International Airport (KLAX) was made from the east, with a heading of 263.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,205 feet above ground level. The landing was executed on runway 24R, which had a length of 8,899 feet. The threshold height at 60 feet above ground level was slightly above the target, while the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 112 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 1,228 feet, and the touchdown speed at 107 knots was also good. However, the touchdown rate was hard at -420 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the runway rollout alignment was also very good after the landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 66 degrees Fahrenheit, with a wind speed of 4 knots at 310 degrees. The crosswind was 3 knots, and the headwind was also 3 knots. The total landing distance was 2,793 feet, which accounted for 31% of the runway.
After the landing, the aircraft took 9 minutes to taxi to the parking from the runway, covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 113 nautical miles, which was covered in 41 minutes, and the aircraft used 4 pounds of fuel during the flight.
Aircraft C750 successfully landed on runway 24R at KLAX Los Angeles International Airport, achieving a score of 96.4%. The final approach was initiated from the east, heading 263.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,205 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach to the runway was precise, with a touchdown distance of 1,228 feet, which is within the acceptable range.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down at a speed of 107 knots, which is considered good. However, the touchdown rate was slightly hard at -420 feet per minute (fpm), indicating a slightly abrupt touchdown. Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 66°F and a wind speed of 4 knots from 310°. The crosswind component was minimal at 3 knots, and the headwind component was also 3 knots, resulting in a negligible effect on the landing.
The total landing distance was 2,793 feet, which is 31% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was properly configured and controlled during the approach and landing phases. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing of aircraft C750 on runway 24R at KLAX Los Angeles International Airport was a successful one, with a high score of 96.4%. The precise approach, good touchdown speed, and short landing distance all contributed to a smooth and controlled landing.
