Flight Score
Departure
Ease back pressure in smoothly as you approach 154 kt, holding a steady rotation rate rather than snatching the controls.
What happened: On the takeoff roll the aircraft bounced before becoming fully airborne.
Watch for: Attitude indicator: a smooth, continuous pitch-up through liftoff with no secondary bounce.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Reduce power earlier on final to bring threshold speed back to 114 kt.
What happened: You crossed the threshold at 133 kt against a target of 114 kt, and touchdown ended up well past the normal point. Carrying excess threshold speed usually carries the touchdown long as the aircraft floats before settling.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator, targeting 114 kt at the threshold.
Between four hundred and a thousand feet you're heavy, close to the ground and still carrying flap, and speed is the margin holding all three apart. Slow here doesn't feel like anything — the aeroplane climbs, the nose is up, nothing complains — right up until a turn, a gust or a bank tightens the wing's job and the margin is already gone. The fix is rarely "fly faster", it's lowering the nose a degree and letting the speed build before the next thing you do. Pitch buys altitude, speed buys options, and at this height options are the scarcer of the two.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: seven 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. These checks are the approach's score.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,003 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 554 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Boeing 707-320 taxied from the parking area to runway 04L at MMSM Aeropuerto Internacional General Felipe Ángeles for 15 minutes, covering 4 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 04L the aircraft used 2,171 m, representing 48 % of the runway, and lifted off at 139 kt; ambient temperature was 20 °C with wind 6 kt from 310°, a 6 kt crosswind and a 1 kt tailwind.
The initial climb began 1 mile north-east of MMSM, climbing from 8,507 ft asl to 34,007 ft asl-a gain of 25,500 ft-in 15 minutes while covering 92 nm.
Level cruise commenced 4 miles south-east of Landa de Matamoros and continued for 27 minutes, traversing 212 nm.
Descent started 14 miles south of Linares, descending from 33,991 ft asl to 16,505 ft asl, a loss of 17,485 ft in 9 minutes and covering 59 nm.
A brief cruise segment began 16 miles north of MMGW Cap. P.A. Roberto Chávez Balderas Airport General Terán and lasted 3 minutes, during which 20 nm were flown.
The next descent began 11 miles east of Marin, dropping from 16,500 ft asl to 1,988 ft asl-a decrease of 14,512 ft-in 12 minutes and covering 43 nm.
Climb resumed overhead MMMY Monterrey International Airport, gaining 1,061 ft from 1,995 ft asl to 3,055 ft asl in 2 minutes while covering 5 nm.
A short cruise followed overhead Pesquería, lasting 3 minutes and spanning 10 nm.
The final descent started 3 miles south-west of General Zuazua, descending from 3,272 ft asl to 2,078 ft asl, a loss of 1,194 ft in 2 minutes and covering 5 nm.
On final approach to runway 11 at MMMY Monterrey International Airport the aircraft approached from the north-west on a heading of 118.0° at 2 nm and 798 ft agl.
Landing on runway 11, which is 3,001 m long, the aircraft touched down with a threshold speed of 133 kt; the touchdown point was 130 m beyond the touchdown zone, the speed at touchdown was 122 kt and the vertical rate was minus 428 fpm. Local weather reported temperature 30 °C, wind 14 kt from 100°, a 5 kt crosswind and a 13 kt headwind. Total landing distance measured 1,142 m, 38 % of the runway.
Rollout after touchdown was aligned very well, with the aircraft remaining on the centreline throughout the 1,142 m landing roll.
The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 4 minutes, covering 1 nm.
In total the flight covered 457 nm, required 91 minutes of elapsed time, and consumed 6,798 kg of fuel.
The final approach to runway 11 at MMMY Monterrey International Airport was flown from the north-west on a heading of 118.0 ° at 2 nm and 798 ft agl. Local weather was 30 °C with wind 14 kt from 100 °, providing a 13 kt headwind and a 5 kt crosswind. The threshold height was reported as good and the threshold speed was a little below target at 133 kt.
During the threshold and flare segment the aircraft maintained the good threshold height and prepared for touchdown despite the slight speed shortfall.
Touchdown occurred 130 m beyond the touchdown zone with a speed of 122 kt that was judged good. The touchdown rate was hard at -428 fpm and runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
Rollout used a total landing distance of 1,142 m, representing 38 % of the 3,001 m runway, and runway rollout alignment was very good.
To refine the already strong performance, adjust the approach speed to meet the target value and smooth the flare to reduce the hard touchdown rate, which will further improve the landing quality.
