Landing on runway 25L at KLAX Los Angeles International Airport in the Airbus A350-900

Landing Score 88.76 %

Landing Summary

The Airbus A350-900 established the final approach to runway 25L at KLAX from the east on a heading of 263.0 °, 4 nm out and 1,260 ft agl, with local temperature 26 °C, wind 10 kt at 259 °, a 1 kt cross-wind component and a 10 kt head-wind component.

At the threshold the aircraft maintained a good threshold height, while the threshold speed was well above target at 146 kt.

Touchdown occurred 828 m beyond the touchdown zone; the touchdown speed of 144 kt was fast, yet the touchdown rate was smooth at minus 114 fpm and runway touchdown alignment was perfect.

The total landing distance measured 2,190 m, representing 65 % of the 3,377 m runway, and rollout alignment remained perfect.

To refine future performances, attention should be given to reducing the excess threshold and touchdown speeds to meet target values, and to achieving a touchdown point closer to the designated zone, which will further improve runway utilization.
