Taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Puerto Vallarta International Airport (MMPR) took approximately one minute, covering less than one nautical mile. The aircraft then began its departure roll on runway 22, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 66 knots. The takeoff distance of 1,740 feet represented 17% of the available runway length. Local weather conditions at the time of departure included a temperature of 60°F and a light wind of 1 knot from 270°.

As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it transitioned into an enroute climb, reaching an altitude of 698 feet above sea level (asl) in just one minute, an increase of 435 feet. The climb was initiated overhead the airport, and the aircraft then leveled off for an eight-minute cruise, covering a distance of four nautical miles. A subsequent climb phase saw the aircraft ascend from 596 feet asl to 1,399 feet asl, an increase of 803 feet in two minutes, covering a distance of three nautical miles. The enroute descent phase followed, with the aircraft descending from 1,404 feet asl to 573 feet asl, a decrease of 831 feet in two minutes, covering a distance of four nautical miles.

The final approach to landing was initiated overhead Nuevo Vallarta, with the aircraft descending from 551 feet above ground level (agl) to 0 feet agl. However, the touchdown speed of 95 knots was excessively fast, resulting in a heavy touchdown rate of -1,084 feet per minute. The touchdown distance of 336 feet was still considered good. Following touchdown, the aircraft rolled out for a distance of 852 feet, coming to a stop at an altitude of 13 feet asl. The total flight distance was 16 nautical miles, covering a duration of 10 minutes and utilizing zero pounds of fuel.

Landing on runway XX at overhead Nuevo Vallarta (Estado de Nayarit, Mexico) in the Cessna 172

Landing Score 68.95 %

Landing Summary

The final approach to landing at Nuevo Vallarta (Estado de Nayarit, Mexico) was initiated from 1 nm out, with the aircraft descending from 551 ft above ground level (agl) to 43 ft agl before commencing the flare. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a smooth and controlled descent. However, the touchdown speed of 95 kt was excessively fast, resulting in a very heavy touchdown rate of -1,084 fpm. The touchdown distance of 336 ft was good, indicating a well-executed flare.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft's wheels made contact with the runway at 43 ft in just 2 seconds, demonstrating a high rate of descent. The centreline alignment was maintained throughout the rollout, with the aircraft coming to rest at an altitude of 13 ft above sea level (asl). The landing rollout distance of 852 ft was satisfactory, considering the excessive touchdown speed.

The overall performance of the landing was scored 69.0%, reflecting the satisfactory approach quality and good touchdown distance, but the excessively fast touchdown speed and heavy touchdown rate detracted from the score. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 59 °F and a light wind of 1 kt at 270 °, did not significantly impact the landing.
