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.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.

The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 5 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-600, then departed from runway 32 at Lynden Pindling International Airport in Nassau, Bahamas. The takeoff distance was 1,187 meters, which accounted for 36% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 149 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 26 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 0 knots from a direction of 360 degrees. There was no crosswind or headwind. The aircraft began its enroute climb 1 mile northwest of the airport, rising from an altitude of 1,046 feet above sea level to 37,759 feet above sea level, an increase of 36,713 feet in 35 minutes. This climb covered a distance of 246 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 2 miles northwest of Bonita Springs in Florida, United States, and lasted for 105 minutes, covering a distance of 839 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent 6 miles west of Doyle in Texas, United States, and descended from an altitude of 38,109 feet above sea level to 8,913 feet above sea level, a decrease of 29,196 feet in 9 minutes. This descent covered a distance of 216 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began another enroute level cruise 9 miles west of Garcia in Mexico, which lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 7 nautical miles. The enroute descent started 12 miles north of MMIO Plan De Guadalupe International Airport in Saltillo, Mexico, and the aircraft descended from an altitude of 8,363 feet above sea level to 5,941 feet above sea level, a decrease of 2,422 feet in 2 minutes. This descent covered a distance of 9 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 17 at MMIO Plan De Guadalupe International Airport was made from the north, with the aircraft heading 180 degrees at an altitude of 1,205 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing on runway 17 was successful, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 128 knots and a touchdown distance of 179 meters. However, the touchdown speed was a little fast, and the runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned by 16.1 meters from the centreline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 3 knots from a direction of 20 degrees. There was a crosswind of 1 knot and a tailwind of 3 knots. The total landing distance was 906 meters, which accounted for 31% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also misaligned by 16.1 meters from the centreline.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,325 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 163 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 8,134 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-600 aircraft successfully landed at MMIO Plan De Guadalupe International Airport, with a final approach score of 92.7%. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the north, heading 180.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,205 feet above ground level (agl).
The landing was executed on runway 17, which has a length of 2,886 meters. The threshold height was good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct height as it approached the runway. The threshold speed of 131 knots was also within the acceptable range, suggesting that the pilot had maintained control and was on track for a smooth landing.
However, there were a few areas for improvement. The touchdown speed of 128 knots was slightly faster than desired, which may have resulted in a slightly longer rollout distance. Additionally, the touchdown rate of -156 feet per minute (fpm) was good, indicating that the aircraft was able to touch down smoothly and maintain control.
One of the most notable issues with this landing was the significant misalignment of the runway touchdown position, which was off-centerline by 16.1 meters. This misalignment was also evident during the rollout phase, suggesting that the pilot may have had difficulty maintaining control of the aircraft as it touched down and began to roll out.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 16°C and winds of 3 knots at 20°. The crosswind component was minimal, at 1 knot, while the tailwind component was 3 knots. Despite these favorable conditions, the pilot was still unable to maintain a perfectly aligned touchdown and rollout.
The total landing distance of 906 meters was 31% of the runway length, which is within the acceptable range. However, the misaligned touchdown and rollout may have resulted in a slightly longer distance than necessary. Overall, while the landing was successful, there are areas for improvement in terms of maintaining control and alignment during the touchdown and rollout phases.
