Flight Score
Arrival
Reduce power earlier on approach to be at 118 kt by the stabilisation gate, not just by the threshold.
What happened: The approach was too fast at the stabilisation gate, crossing the threshold at 115 kt against a VREF of 118 kt.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator against 118 kt at the stabilisation gate.
See Arrival Approach
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: sink rate 2,252 fpm, more than the glideslope needed and speed 69 kt FAST on the reference speed of 118 kt.
At the 500 ft gate: speed 33 kt FAST on the reference speed of 118 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 3,520 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 293 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
A RJ85 aircraft departed from Valley International Airport, KHRL, on runway 13, utilizing 80% of the 1,761-meter runway to achieve liftoff at a speed of 134 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 35°C, with a 12-knot headwind from a direction of 135°.
As the aircraft climbed to its enroute cruise altitude, it passed overhead Arroyo Colorado Estates Colonia, Texas, and continued to ascend to 29,998 feet above sea level, a gain of 28,938 feet in 30 minutes, covering a distance of 186 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, lasting 25 minutes, and covering 196 nautical miles, before beginning its descent to a lower altitude. The descent phase was initiated overhead Atla, Mexico, and the aircraft descended from 30,010 feet to 26,807 feet in 3 minutes, covering 24 nautical miles. The aircraft continued to descend, with subsequent level cruise phases and descents, before commencing its final approach to runway 05R at Benito Juárez International Airport, MMMX.
The final approach was executed from the southwest, with a heading of 59.0°, and the aircraft landed on the 3,521-meter runway, utilizing 30% of its length. The touchdown distance was 293 meters, and the touchdown speed was 110 knots, with a smooth touchdown rate of -131 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was very good. Following a taxiing period of 7 minutes, covering 2 nautical miles, the aircraft arrived at the parking area, having completed a total flight distance of 523 nautical miles, utilizing 3,323 kilograms of fuel, and taking a total of 92 minutes.
The aircraft touched down smoothly on runway 05R at MMMX Benito Juárez International Airport, with a threshold height that was well within acceptable limits. The approach quality was excellent, with a threshold speed of 116 kt being achieved, indicating a high degree of control and precision. The touchdown distance of 293 m was also good, demonstrating a well-executed flare and touchdown.
The touchdown itself was characterized by a smooth rate of descent, with a rate of -131 fpm, and a touchdown speed of 110 kt, which was within the acceptable range. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft centered on the runway, indicating a high level of skill and control. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 20 °C and a light wind of 2 kt at 190 °, contributed to a stable and predictable approach.
The rollout phase was also executed well, with the aircraft maintaining a very good alignment on the runway centerline. The total landing distance of 1,063 m, which was 30% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. Overall, the landing was scored at 99.7%, reflecting a high level of proficiency and control throughout the approach, touchdown, and rollout phases.
