Human Factors
During descent transition the departure airport ATIS was referenced instead of the arrival airport ATIS resulting in an incorrect altimeter setting on approach. The flight accomplished a visual approach to Runway 25L as cleared by ATC. Radio navigation of the ILS was tuned and monitored as backup navigation. During the approach the pilots noticed an incorrect or absent automatic altimeter calls outs. The First Officer made the calls in substitution. After block in and investigation we found out error.This was a factor of not reading the ATIS carefully enough and an absence of ATC to pilot verification of ATIS.
During arrival into LAX on the Hlywd1 STAR; we were called by cabin crew with late write ups. I was the Pilot Monitoring and looked up the [Maintenance] codes and sent the codes via ACRS. I printed the responses and gave them to the Captain (Pilot Flying). He transferred aircraft control to me around the mid 20;000 ft. so he could add the write ups to the aircraft binder. While I was flying; the Pilot Monitoring preset the altimeter setting in standby and later took back Pilot Flying duties. I printed a new ATIS and ran the descent checklist. The remainder of the arrival was uneventful. At the 'One Thousand' annunciation; the Pilot Flying replied; 'Stable'. I started to cross check my PFD in anticipation of the '500' annunciation. When I saw 500 ft. come and go with no aural confirmation; I noticed but made my required call and continued to monitor the approach in VMC. During the flare and touchdown; the 'Minimums' annunciation was heard. After clearing the runway; we stopped between 25L and 25R to wait for crossing instructions. I asked the Pilot Flying what had happened with the altimeter and examined the ATIS printout and discovered we had set 30.15 instead of 29.95. After the shutdown checklist; we determined 30.15 was the departure airport setting and that we had not discarded the ATIS after takeoff and mistakenly referred to it instead of the arrival ATIS. Additionally; we did not closely verify the FAF crossing height; which would have alerted us sooner.Recommend crews discard departure ATIS after Cruise Checklist. Emphasize FAF crossing height is cross checked against altimeters during visual approaches.
B737 flight crew reported confusion that resulted in an incorrect altimeter setting on final approach.
