What went well

Touched down at -185 fpm — a soft arrival
Threshold crossed at 40 ft and 136 kt — both inside band
Straight touchdown — 0.36 m off the centreline, no bounce

What held you back

Arrival Touchdown — Touchdown distance was 765 m at 66 %, −0.42 points
Arrival Landing — scored 98.71 %, −0.09 points
Departure Climb 1 — g force 1.10 to 1.41 g at 91 %, −0.06 points

Next time

Departure

Ease the back pressure on the yoke after rotation so the pitch change is smoother and g force stays lower.

What happened: During the initial climb the average g force reached 1.3 g, a high value for that phase.

Watch for: G meter: smooth, steady value in the normal climb band

See Departure Climb 1

Arrival

Fly the aircraft onto the runway at the aim point instead of holding it off and letting it float further down the runway.

What happened: This landing touched down well beyond the target point on the runway, with nothing else in the approach or flare accounting for it.

Watch for: Aim point markings: touchdown at the target point on the runway.

See Arrival Touchdown

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.

Threshold speed was not the cause here - hold the aim point on the approach and let the aircraft settle rather than holding it off, and the touchdown comes back to the numbers.

The stabilisation gates

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.

Landing Summary

The final approach to runway 25L at KLAX was flown from the east on a heading of 263.0° at 4 nm and 1,300 ft AGL, with a local temperature of 21 °C, wind 9 kt from 250°, a 2 kt cross-wind component and a 9 kt head-wind component.

The aircraft established a good threshold height, but the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 136 kt.

Touchdown occurred 350 m beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 137 kt described as fast, a vertical rate of -151 fpm rated good, and runway touchdown alignment perfect.

The rollout covered a total landing distance of 1,615 m, representing 48 % of the 3,377 m runway, and runway rollout alignment was perfect.

To refine future landings, aim to touch down within the designated touchdown zone, targeting the usual 300 m (1,000 ft) aim point, and adjust the approach speed to meet the target rather than the slightly elevated 136-137 kt observed.
