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.
At the 500 ft gate: speed below the reference speed.

Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 10,212 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,182 ft 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 8 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 15L at KIAH George Bush Intercontinental Houston Airport. The takeoff distance was 4,837 feet, which was 40% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 155 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 95 degrees Fahrenheit and winds of 5 knots at 120 degrees. The crosswind was 3 knots, while the headwind was 4 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile south of the airport and rising from an altitude of 1,107 feet above sea level to 33,324 feet above sea level, an increase of 32,217 feet in 17 minutes and covering a distance of 66 nautical miles.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, starting 2 miles northwest of Bay City, Texas, and lasting 2 minutes, covering a distance of 12 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb phase, starting 1 mile southeast of Blessing, Texas, and rising from 33,318 feet to 37,401 feet, an increase of 4,083 feet in 5 minutes and covering a distance of 42 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, starting 4 miles southwest of Seadrift, Texas, and lasting 74 minutes, covering a distance of 555 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting 8 miles southwest of MMWR Santa Clara Airstrip in Mexico, and descending from 37,547 feet to 1,390 feet, a decrease of 36,157 feet in 21 minutes and covering a distance of 106 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 04 at MMPR Puerto Vallarta International Airport was made from the southwest, heading 47.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,364 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 04, which had a length of 10,212 feet. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 138 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 1,178 feet, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 133 knots. The touchdown rate was good at -171 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 14 feet from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 88 degrees Fahrenheit and winds of 7 knots at 250 degrees. The crosswind was 3 knots, while the tailwind was 6 knots. The total landing distance was 4,385 feet, which was 43% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 788 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 131 minutes. The aircraft used 12,535 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at Puerto Vallarta International Airport, achieving a high score of 99.3%. The final approach to runway 04 was conducted from the southwest, with a heading of 47.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,364 feet above ground level.
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a good threshold height, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 138 knots. The touchdown distance was within acceptable limits at 1,178 feet, but the touchdown speed of 133 knots was slightly higher than desired. However, the touchdown rate of -171 feet per minute was considered good.
The landing was affected by local weather conditions, with a temperature of 88°F and winds blowing at 7 knots from a direction of 250°. The crosswind component was minimal at 3 knots, while the tailwind component was 6 knots. Despite these conditions, the aircraft maintained a stable approach and touchdown.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 14 feet, but the runway rollout alignment was very good. The total landing distance of 4,385 feet was 43% of the runway length, which is within acceptable limits. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft demonstrating good control and stability throughout the approach and touchdown phases.
