Slow the descent 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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,712 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 561 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in the Cessna Longitude began at KLAS Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas. The taxiing from the parking to the runway took 13 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nm. With a departure roll from runway 01R, the takeoff distance was 871 m, representing 34% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 134 kn. The local weather at the time of departure included a temperature of 16 °C and a wind speed of 6 kn at 80°, resulting in a crosswind of 5 kn and a headwind of 4 kn.
The enroute climb started overhead Paradise, Nevada, with the aircraft climbing from 3,176 ft asl to 28,001 ft asl, an increase of 24,825 ft in 10 minutes and covering a distance of 49 nm. The enroute level cruise began 13 miles west of 9CL4 Hart Mine Airport Ivanpah in California and lasted 11 minutes, covering 72 nm. The enroute descent started 7 miles east of 2CA8 B, with the aircraft descending from 28,031 ft asl to 1,951 ft asl, a decrease of 26,080 ft in 19 minutes and covering 95 nm.
The landing took place on runway 24R at KLAX Los Angeles International Airport, with a runway length of 2,712 m. The height at threshold was 44 ft agl, and the speed at threshold was 119 kn. The touchdown occurred 562 m from the threshold, with a touchdown speed of 103 kn and a VSI of -98 ft/m. The local weather at the time of landing included a temperature of 14 °C and a wind speed of 4 kn at 50°, resulting in a crosswind of 2 kn and a tailwind of 3 kn. The total landing distance was 1,207 m, representing 44% of the runway length.
After landing, taxiing from the runway to the parking area took 14 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nm. The total flight distance for the journey was 229 nm, taking 77 minutes to complete. The flight consumed 1,010 kg of fuel during the trip.
Great job on achieving a 94.7% landing score! Let's break down the different phases of the landing to see what went well and where there is room for improvement.
During the Approach Phase, you had excellent glideslope alignment, which is crucial for a smooth landing. This shows great control and precision in guiding the aircraft towards the runway. It's important to maintain this accuracy in future landings to ensure a safe touchdown.
Moving onto the Landing Phase, it's impressive that you had good threshold height and a very good landing flare. This indicates that you timed the flare perfectly, allowing for a smooth and controlled touchdown. Keep up the good work on maintaining these aspects of the landing.
In the Touchdown Phase, your touchdown rate was excellent and your speed was on target, demonstrating your skill in executing a precise landing. However, landing 141 meters beyond the touchdown zone shows that there may have been some room for improvement in judging the touchdown point. It's important to work on this aspect to ensure landing within the designated zone.
It's worth noting that you landed with a 3-knot tailwind, which is a factor to be cautious about as it can affect the landing distance and control of the aircraft. Try to avoid landing with tailwinds in the future to ensure a safer landing.
Lastly, in the Rollout Phase, the runway alignment was slightly off, with the aircraft positioned 9.8 meters from the centerline. It's important to maintain proper alignment during the rollout phase to ensure a smooth exit from the runway.
Overall, you demonstrated strong skills in different phases of the landing process, but there are areas that could benefit from further focus and improvement. Keep up the good work and continue to strive for precision and accuracy in your landings. With practice and attention to detail, you can further improve your landing performance. Well done on your impressive landing score, and keep up the hard work!
