Flight Score
Departure
Make small rudder corrections to track the centreline, aiming at a point at the far end of the runway.
What happened: You drifted off the runway centreline during the takeoff roll.
Watch for: Runway centreline position, nosewheel on centreline.
See Departure Roll
Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
At the 1,000 ft gate: glideslope 4.8° against the runway's 3°, centreline 4.3° off, against a 1° limit and speed 51 kt FAST on the reference speed of 111 kt.
At the 500 ft gate: glideslope 5.1° against the runway's 3°, centreline 2.0° off, against a 1° limit and speed 32 kt FAST on the reference speed of 111 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,482 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 206 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Douglas DC-6 taxied from the parking area to runway 04L at MMSM Aeropuerto Internacional General Felipe Ángeles, a movement that required 14 minutes and covered 3 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 04L, the aircraft accelerated over a takeoff distance of 3,096 m, representing 69 % of the runway, and lifted off at 96 kt. Local weather at the time was a temperature of 17 °C, wind 8 kt from 280°, a crosswind component of 6 kt and a tailwind component of 5 kt.
Climb commenced 3 miles south of Tizayuca, with the DC-6 ascending from 8,604 ft asl to 13,995 ft asl, an increase of 5,390 ft achieved in 5 minutes while covering 17 nm.
Level cruise began 1 mile north of Tequixquiac and continued for 11 minutes, during which the aircraft traversed 45 nm.
Descent was initiated 6 miles west of Huichapan, descending from 13,501 ft asl to 7,986 ft asl, a loss of 5,516 ft in 5 minutes and covering 23 nm.
The final approach to runway 27 at MMQT Querétaro Intercontinental Airport was flown from the east, on a heading of 290.0°, at 4 nm and 1,688 ft agl.
Landing on runway 27, which is 3,482 m long, occurred with a threshold speed a little below target at 96 kt. Touchdown was recorded 208 m down the runway at 91 kt, with a smooth touchdown rate of minus 142 fpm and very good runway alignment. Local weather at landing was a temperature of 16 °C, wind 9 kt from 100°, crosswind 0 kt and tailwind 9 kt.
The total landing distance measured 1,399 m, equivalent to 40 % of the runway, and rollout alignment was perfect.
After exiting the runway, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in less than 1 minute, covering less than 1 nm.
In summary, the flight covered 98 nm, lasted 30 minutes, and consumed 453 kg of fuel.
The Douglas DC-6 established a final approach to runway 27 at MMQT Querétaro Intercontinental Airport from the east, tracking a heading of 290.0 ° at 4 nm and 1,688 ft agl. Local conditions were temperature 16 °C, wind 9 kt from 100 °, with a 0 kt crosswind component and a 9 kt tailwind component.
At threshold the aircraft presented a good threshold height. The measured threshold speed was a little below target at 96 kt.
Touchdown occurred 208 m down the runway at a speed of 91 kt, both described as good. The vertical rate was smooth at -142 fpm and runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The total landing distance was 1,399 m, representing 40 % of the 3,482 m runway, and rollout alignment was perfect.
Maintain the target threshold speed on future approaches to eliminate the slight undershoot while preserving the overall stability that earned a 99.0 % score.
