The Airbus A380 successfully landed on runway 06L at KLAX Los Angeles International Airport, achieving a high score of 99.3%. The aircraft approached the runway from the west, heading 83.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,248 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot maintained a good threshold height, which is a critical aspect of a safe landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was within the acceptable range at 140 knots. However, the touchdown speed of 135 knots was slightly faster than desired, indicating that the pilot may have been able to flare the aircraft more effectively to achieve a smoother touchdown. The touchdown rate of -288 feet per minute (fpm) was considered fair, suggesting that the aircraft's descent was not excessively steep.
The landing distance of 1,399 meters, which accounts for 52% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. The runway length at KLAX is 2,712 meters, providing a comfortable margin for the aircraft to come to a stop. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot maintained a stable and aligned approach to the runway.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 12°C and a gentle headwind of 2 knots at 90°. The crosswind component was negligible, at 0 knots. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the pilot demonstrating good control and precision throughout the approach and touchdown phases.
