Flight Score
Arrival
Wait for the normal flare band and the correct speed before raising the nose, rather than starting the flare at 91 ft.
What happened: The flare began at 91 ft, 46 ft above the normal band, and the touchdown followed at 0 fpm. Starting the flare this early usually carries through to a firmer arrival than a flare begun in the normal band.
Watch for: Radio altimeter: hold the flare start within the normal flare band
Ground effect becomes significant below about one wingspan of height. A Cessna 172, with a 36 ft span, enters ground effect at flare height - the float it feels in the hold-off is ground effect arriving on cue. An A320, with a span around 117 ft, has been in ground effect since before the threshold and there is no sudden cushion to feel, only a gradual reduction in induced drag that lengthens any float you allow.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
The approach that landed joined below the 1,000 ft and 500 ft gates, after a go-around. The gate assessed on the earlier approach is not shown - it was not the landing's.
Side view — the last 2,255 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,255 m of the 3,385 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 2,133 m 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 6 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 08 at PAJN Juneau International Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,371 meters, which accounted for 53% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 160 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 15°C, with a wind speed of 7 knots at a direction of 69°. This resulted in a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 6 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile east of the airport and rising from an altitude of 1,025 feet above sea level to 36,769 feet above sea level, an increase of 35,744 feet in 23 minutes, covering a distance of 124 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 19 miles north of the Whale Pass Seaplane Float Harbor Facility. This phase lasted for 174 minutes, covering a distance of 1,356 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 4 miles northwest of Richgrove, California, and descending from 37,532 feet above sea level to 1,079 feet above sea level, a decrease of 36,454 feet in 23 minutes, covering a distance of 121 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 07L at KLAX Los Angeles International Airport was made from the west, with a heading of 83.0° at an altitude of 4 nautical miles and 935 feet above ground level. However, the aircraft was forced to execute a go-around at an altitude of 2 feet above ground level. The touchdown point was 468 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 117 knots, which was considered good. The touchdown rate was fair at -274 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.9 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 19°C, with a wind speed of 8 knots at a direction of 240°. This resulted in a crosswind of 3 knots and a tailwind of 7 knots. The total landing distance was 1,528 meters, which accounted for 45% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 8 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 1,609 nautical miles, with a total flight time of 237 minutes. The aircraft used 9,678 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed on runway 07L at KLAX Los Angeles International Airport, achieving an overall score of 87.5%. The final approach was initiated from the west, heading 83.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 935 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft touched down on the runway, with the threshold height being satisfactory. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 139 knots. The touchdown point was located 468 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which may indicate a slight deviation from the intended landing spot.
The touchdown speed of 117 knots was within the acceptable range, indicating a good control of the aircraft during the landing phase. However, the touchdown rate of -274 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair, suggesting that the aircraft may have experienced a slightly higher rate of descent than desired.
Upon landing, the aircraft's runway touchdown position was found to be slightly misaligned from the centerline by 3.9 meters. This may have been due to a combination of factors, including wind conditions and pilot control.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 19°C and a wind speed of 8 knots from 240°. The crosswind component was minimal at 3 knots, while the tailwind component was 7 knots. These conditions may have contributed to the slight deviation from the intended landing spot.
The total landing distance of 1,528 meters was 45% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was found to be very good, indicating that the aircraft was well-controlled during the post-landing phase.
Overall, the landing was satisfactory, with some minor deviations from the ideal performance. However, the aircraft's good control and short landing distance suggest that the pilots were able to manage the aircraft effectively in the challenging wind conditions.
