Pilot narrative
Verbatim, de-identified by NASA. Placeholders: ZZZ,
X, Y.
On ILS [Runway] 24R into LAX right at 1000 ft., we put flap 5 in instead of before 1000 ft. We were stabilized on the localizer and glideslopes. I was following a heavy for [Runway] 24R. I configured early up into the final approach fix. After the final approach fix, it got a little turbulent so my mind shifted to the possibility of flying above the glide slope for wake turbulence. Due to this, I was distracted. Right at 1000 ft. the Captain put flap 5 in. I'm not sure if it was right before or right after. I asked if we should go around; he said we were fine. Being unsure, I probably should have just called for the go around. I decided to write this safety report in recognition of possible pilot error Suggestions include more focused CRM. We both missed it early.
