Work on the flare
Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without it.

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 1,589 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,589 m of the 2,774 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 631 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in the Boeing 737-800 from MMMX Benito Juárez International Airport to MGGT La Aurora Airport was smooth overall. Taxiing from the parking to the runway at MMMX took 9 minutes over a distance of 1 nm. The departure roll from runway 05R covered 63% of the runway, with a takeoff distance of 2,158 m at a liftoff speed of 152 kn. The local weather at departure was 26 °C with a 12 kn wind at 329°, resulting in a 12 kn crosswind and 0 kn headwind.
The enroute climb from 2 miles northeast of MMMX to 35,823 ft asl covered 134 nm in 20 minutes, resulting in an increase of 27,484 ft. The level cruise, which started 4 miles northwest of Sonora, lasted 44 minutes and covered 341 nm. The descent began 4 miles northeast of Ciudad Cuauhtemoc and took the aircraft from 36,445 ft asl to 5,888 ft asl, decreasing by 30,557 ft in 20 minutes over 108 nm.
The final approach to runway 02 at MGGT La Aurora Airport was from the south, with a heading of 21.0° at 3 nm and 958 ft agl. The landing on runway 02 had a threshold height slightly above target at 107 ft agl and a threshold speed slightly above target at 152 kn. The touchdown point was 217 m beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 140 kn and a perfect touchdown rate of 33 ft/m. The runway alignment was very good, and the landing distance covered was 1,511 m, which was 54% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also rated as very good.
Taxiing from the runway to the parking took 2 minutes and less than 1 nm. The total flight distance was 596 nm, taking 109 minutes and consuming 5,056 kg of fuel. Overall, it was a successful flight with good handling during takeoff, enroute, descent, and landing.
First of all, congratulations on achieving a landing score of 91.4%! This is a great accomplishment and shows that you have a solid foundation of skills as a pilot.
When we look at the breakdown of your landing score, we can see that there were some areas where improvements can be made. In the Approach Phase, it seems that the descent path was above the glideslope limit and the threshold speed was slightly above target. This can indicate a need for better planning and execution during the approach to ensure a smooth transition to the landing phase.
Moving on to the Landing Phase, it appears that the threshold height was above target and there was a very poor landing flare. These factors can affect the smoothness of the landing and could potentially lead to a harder touchdown. It is important to focus on maintaining a stable approach and flare to ensure a safe and smooth landing.
On a positive note, the Touchdown Phase had some strong points, such as a perfect touchdown rate at 33 ft/m and a good touchdown speed at 140 kn. This indicates that you have a good sense of control during the touchdown phase. However, it is important to note that the touchdown point was beyond the touchdown zone, which could be a safety concern and may require adjustment in future landings.
Overall, your runway touchdown alignment was very good, which is a crucial aspect of a successful landing. With some minor adjustments in the approach and landing phases, you have the potential to further improve your landing score and continue to grow as a skilled pilot. Keep up the hard work and practice, and you will see even better results in the future. Well done on your achievements so far!
