MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Arrival
Keep the back pressure coming once the flare is established, holding the attitude instead of letting the nose drop.
What happened: Sink came back after the flare had arrested it, and that pattern usually carries the touchdown long - here it landed at 1,998 ft against the 1,500 ft aim point.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a steady, shallow rate through the flare with no renewed sink before touchdown
Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
At the 1,000 ft gate: centreline 1.2° off, against a 1° limit.
At the 500 ft gate: centreline 1.6° off, against a 1° limit.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 8,901 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,998 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The aircraft taxied from the parking area to runway 26R at KLAS Harry Reid International Airport, a movement that lasted 9 minutes and covered 2 nm.
Take-off was performed on runway 26R. The take-off roll was 1,150 ft, representing 9 % of the runway length. Rotation occurred at 89 kt. Local weather at departure was temperature 84 °F, wind 5 kt from 070°, with a 2 kt crosswind and a 5 kt tailwind component.
Initial climb to 1,000 ft agl took 65 seconds, averaging 672 fpm and reaching 138 kt at the top of the segment. The climb continued from 3,203 ft asl to 22,012 ft asl in 14 minutes, covering 40 nm, beginning about 1 mile west of KLAS.
Level flight was maintained at 22,000 ft asl for 25 minutes, covering 108 nm, starting roughly 16 miles southeast of 04NV Kingston Ranch Airport Sandy Valley.
Descent began from 21,685 ft asl to 1,866 ft asl in 18 minutes, covering 68 nm, with the segment starting 5 miles east of Running Springs.
During final approach to runway 24R at KLAX Los Angeles International Airport, descent from 1,744 ft agl to 87 ft agl was completed in 154 seconds. Stabilisation checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway were met for gear down, landing flap, sink rate, glideslope, speed, and wings level; the check for centreline was not met. Configuration was landing gear down at 3,103 ft agl with 160 kt, and final flap position 2 was selected at 1,316 ft agl with 129 kt.
Landing was made on runway 24R, whose length is 8,901 ft. The threshold height was good and the threshold speed was slightly below target at 78 kt. The flare was described as great. Touchdown occurred 551 ft beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 68 kt, with a rate of -84 fpm, and alignment was perfect. No bounce was observed. Total landing distance was 2,596 ft, representing 29 % of the runway, and rollout alignment was perfect.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a movement that took 6 minutes and covered less than 1 nm.
The entire flight covered 225 nm, lasted 72 minutes, and consumed 510 lb of fuel. Local weather at KLAX was temperature 74 °F, wind 11 kt from 250°, with a 3 kt crosswind and an 11 kt headwind component.
