Monitor your speed
Below 10,000 ft you are typically limited to 250 kt indicated (a US rule that much of the world mirrors in some form, though not universally). This forces a deceleration around 10,000 ft whether the profile wants one or not, so plan for it rather than discovering it.

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.
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 11,076 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 2,609 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft, a REDWING SUPER CONSTELLATION 1049 C, taxiing from the parking area to the runway at KLAS Harry Reid International Airport. This process took approximately 5 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 01L, with a takeoff distance of 435 feet, which accounted for 5% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 102 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 87°F and winds of 9 knots at 40°. The crosswind was 2 knots, while the headwind was 9 knots. The enroute climb began overhead Paradise, Nevada, where the aircraft ascended from 2,653 feet above sea level to 32,393 feet above sea level, an increase of 29,740 feet in 25 minutes, covering a distance of 65 nautical miles.
The enroute descent started 3 miles northwest of Baker, California, where the aircraft descended from 32,439 feet above sea level to 20,258 feet above sea level, a decrease of 12,181 feet in 5 minutes, covering a distance of 63 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise began 2 miles north of the Holiday Ranch Airport in Apple Valley, California, and lasted for 3 minutes, covering a distance of 61 nautical miles.
The final descent started overhead West Whittier-Los Nietos, California, where the aircraft descended from 20,258 feet above sea level to 1,219 feet above sea level, a decrease of 19,039 feet in 10 minutes, covering a distance of 13 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 25L at KLAX Los Angeles International Airport from the east, heading 267.0° at 3 nautical miles and 1,087 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 25L was successful, with a touchdown point 1,193 feet beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 93 knots, which was good, and the touchdown rate was smooth at -132 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 61°F and winds of 16 knots at 260°, with a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 16 knots.
The total landing distance was 3,946 feet, which accounted for 36% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, and the aircraft then taxied to the parking area, a process that took less than 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 207 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 50 minutes, with a fuel consumption of 3,971 pounds.
The REDWING SUPER CONSTELLATION 1049 C American Overseas successfully landed at KLAX Los Angeles International Airport, achieving a score of 95.5%. The aircraft approached the runway from the east, heading 267.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,087 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with precision, and the aircraft landed smoothly on runway 25L, which has a length of 11,076 feet.
The threshold height was good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct altitude as it approached the runway. The threshold speed of 119 knots was also within the acceptable range, demonstrating the pilot's skill in managing the aircraft's speed during the landing. The touchdown point was 1,193 feet beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively short distance, and the touchdown speed of 93 knots was also within the acceptable range.
The touchdown rate of -132 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth, indicating that the aircraft touched down without any significant impact or bounce. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, showing that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway during the landing. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 61°F and a wind speed of 16 knots from 260°.
The crosswind component was minimal, at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 16 knots, which helped to reduce the landing distance. The total landing distance was 3,946 feet, which is 36% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the pilot executed the landing with precision and control. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, showing that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway during the rollout phase of the landing. Overall, the landing was executed with skill and precision, resulting in a high score of 95.5%.
