Improve the rollout
Ground control varies with speed, full authority at walking pace, progressively reducing as groundspeed rises. The aircraft becomes twitchy at any speed, every small pedal input swings the nose, which can encourage large-amplitude leg inputs that no real aircraft would accept.

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 2,225 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 304 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 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-600, then departed from runway 14 at MMTG Angel Albino Corzo International Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,051 meters, which accounted for 42% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 144 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of 18 °C, with a wind speed of 1 knot at 141°.
As the aircraft climbed, it started its enroute climb 1 mile south east of MMTG Angel Albino Corzo International Airport, Tuxtla Gutiérrez. The climb took 33 minutes, during which the aircraft ascended from 2,502 feet above sea level to 39,863 feet above sea level, an increase of 37,361 feet. The enroute climb covered a distance of 221 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 5 miles south east of Anton Lizardo, Estado de Veracruz-Llave, Mexico. This phase lasted for 127 minutes and covered a distance of 1,074 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its enroute descent 22 miles south west of N29 Magdalena Airport, Magdalena, New Mexico, United States. The descent took 14 minutes, during which the aircraft descended from 40,091 feet above sea level to 7,794 feet above sea level, a decrease of 32,298 feet. The enroute descent covered a distance of 120 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 24 at KGUP Gallup Municipal Airport was made from the east, with a heading of 254.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,312 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 24, which had a length of 2,225 meters. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 6 °C, with a wind speed of 7 knots at 241°.
The touchdown distance was 304 meters, which was 34% of the runway length. The touchdown speed was 118 knots, and the touchdown rate was -296 feet per minute, which was considered fair. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.8 meters from the centerline. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took less than 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,422 nautical miles, which was covered in 181 minutes. The aircraft used 8,563 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-600 aircraft successfully landed at Gallup Municipal Airport (KGUP) with a score of 97.7%. The final approach to runway 24 was initiated from the east, heading 254.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,312 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach was characterized by a good threshold height, indicating that the pilots maintained a safe altitude prior to touchdown.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was recorded at 125 knots, which is within the acceptable range. The touchdown distance of 304 meters was also deemed good, indicating that the pilots managed to slow down the aircraft effectively. However, the touchdown speed of 118 knots was slightly lower than the expected value, which may have contributed to a fair touchdown rate of -296 feet per minute (fpm). A fair touchdown rate suggests that the aircraft touched down with a slightly higher rate of descent than desired.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.8 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to factors such as crosswind or pilot error. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 6°C and a wind speed of 7 knots from 241°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, while the headwind component was 7 knots, which may have contributed to the slight misalignment of the touchdown position.
The total landing distance of 763 meters was 34% of the runway length, which is within the acceptable range. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilots managed to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft coming to a stop safely on the runway. However, there is room for improvement in terms of touchdown speed and rate, as well as alignment during the touchdown phase.
