Hold the approach angle
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.
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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,298 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 357 m 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 5 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, an ATR 72, then departed from runway 33 at KRYN Ryan Field, with a takeoff distance of 900 meters, which was 73% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 118 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 24°C, with a wind speed of 7 knots at a direction of 10°. This resulted in a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 6 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile northwest of KRYN Ryan Field, Tucson, Arizona. The climb took 11 minutes, during which the aircraft ascended from 3,358 feet above sea level to 16,954 feet, an increase of 13,597 feet. The distance covered during this climb was 28 nautical miles.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 4 miles west of Amado, Arizona, and lasted for 18 minutes. During this period, the aircraft covered a distance of 74 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb, this time starting 6 miles southeast of Santa Ana, Mexico. The climb took 5 minutes, during which the aircraft ascended from 17,326 feet to 20,334 feet, an increase of 3,008 feet. The distance covered during this climb was 18 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 5 miles east of Benjamin Hill, Mexico, and lasted for 2 minutes. During this brief period, the aircraft covered a distance of 7 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting 10 miles southeast of Benjamin Hill. The descent took 15 minutes, during which the aircraft descended from 19,766 feet to 2,577 feet, a decrease of 17,189 feet. The distance covered during this descent was 54 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 23 at MMHO General Ignacio P. Garcia International Airport was made from the northeast, with a heading of 238.0° at 3 nautical miles and 1,945 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 23, which had a length of 2,298 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was well above the target speed of 118 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 357 meters, but the touchdown speed of 109 knots was a little fast. The touchdown rate was fair at -221 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 28°C, with a wind speed of 4 knots at a direction of 100°. This resulted in a crosswind of 3 knots and a tailwind of 3 knots.
The total landing distance was 656 meters, which was 29% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 187 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 62 minutes. The aircraft used 593 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The ATR 72 aircraft successfully landed at MMHO General Ignacio P. Garcia International Airport, achieving a high score of 97.8%. The final approach to runway 23 was initiated from the north east, with a heading of 238.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,945 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach was well-executed, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed that was well above the target at 118 knots.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's performance was satisfactory, with a touchdown distance of 357 meters, which was within acceptable limits. However, the touchdown speed of 109 knots was slightly faster than desired, indicating that the pilots may have needed to apply more braking or reverse thrust to slow the aircraft down more quickly. The touchdown rate of -221 feet per minute was fair, suggesting that the aircraft's descent was not excessively steep.
The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the pilots had successfully aligned the aircraft with the runway centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 28°C and a light wind of 4 knots from a direction of 100°. The crosswind component was minimal at 3 knots, and the tailwind component was also 3 knots, which had a negligible impact on the landing.
The total landing distance of 656 meters was 29% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. This suggests that the pilots had successfully managed the aircraft's speed and descent rate to achieve a smooth and controlled touchdown. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilots had maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase and had successfully aligned the aircraft with the runway centerline.
Overall, the landing was a success, with the aircraft achieving a high score and demonstrating good performance in terms of touchdown distance, speed, and rate. The pilots' skills and experience were evident in their ability to navigate the aircraft safely and efficiently through the final approach and landing phases.
