Reduce your height at the threshold
Even a modest height error carries straight through to the touchdown. Geometry alone says that crossing the threshold 10 feet high on a 3° path moves your touchdown roughly 190 feet further down the runway before the flare adds anything.

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 5,062 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,062 ft of the 9,851 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,284 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 13 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a FNX320_TCACFM, then departed from runway 26L at Miami International Airport (KMIA). The takeoff distance was 5,291 feet, which was 50% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 158 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it encountered local weather conditions of 80°F temperature and a wind speed of 11 knots at 284°. The crosswind was 3 knots, and the headwind was 11 knots. The enroute climb started overhead Virginia Gardens, Florida, and the aircraft climbed from 1,020 feet above sea level to 33,968 feet above sea level, an increase of 32,948 feet in 20 minutes, covering a distance of 109 nautical miles.
After reaching its cruising altitude, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 6 miles south of Captiva, Florida. This phase lasted for 165 minutes, covering a distance of 922 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting 3 miles northeast of Los Herreras, Mexico. The descent from 33,426 feet above sea level to 8,801 feet above sea level, a decrease of 24,625 feet, took 8 minutes and covered a distance of 33 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 5 miles east of Pesqueria, Mexico. This phase lasted for only 2 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 11 miles east of Pesqueria. The descent from 8,322 feet above sea level to 2,542 feet above sea level, a decrease of 5,781 feet, took 7 minutes and covered a distance of 10 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 29 at Monterrey International Airport (MMMY) was made from the southeast, heading 301.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,255 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown distance of 1,288 feet, which was good. The touchdown speed was 136 knots, and the touchdown rate was firm at -343 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 63°F temperature and a wind speed of 2 knots at 111°. The crosswind was 0 knots, and the tailwind was 2 knots. The total landing distance was 4,811 feet, which was 49% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 1,090 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 219 minutes. The aircraft used 20,625 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The aircraft, FNX320_TCACFM, successfully landed at Monterrey International Airport (MMMY) on runway 29. The final approach was initiated from the southeast, heading 301.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,255 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft demonstrated a high level of proficiency in its landing, achieving a score of 97.2%.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway at a speed of 136 knots, which was within the acceptable range. The touchdown distance of 1,288 feet was also satisfactory, indicating that the pilot maintained control and made a smooth transition from the descent to the landing phase. The touchdown rate of -343 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, suggesting that the aircraft was brought to a stop in a controlled manner.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 63°F and a gentle wind of 2 knots from 111°. This minimal wind had a negligible impact on the aircraft's performance, with a crosswind of 0 knots and a tailwind of 2 knots. The runway length of 9,851 feet provided ample space for the aircraft to land and come to a stop.
The aircraft's alignment with the runway during touchdown was perfect, and the rollout alignment after landing was also very good. The total landing distance of 4,811 feet was 49% of the runway length, indicating that the pilot made a smooth and controlled landing. Overall, the landing was executed with precision and skill, demonstrating the pilot's expertise in handling the aircraft.
