Maintain the centreline
A small uncorrected heading error at 40 knots becomes a metre of offset per second by 100 knots, noticed only at rotation, producing a crabbed liftoff. Root cause is nearly always eyes on the tape instead of the far end of the runway. Small heading changes displace a distant point visibly long before the nearby centreline stripes look wrong.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with five checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 2,552 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,552 m of the 3,662 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 681 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Benito Juárez International Airport (MMMX) took approximately 9 minutes, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. The Boeing 737-900 then began its departure roll on runway 05R, utilizing 61% of the 2,161-meter runway to achieve liftoff at a speed of 160 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 24°C, with a gentle headwind of 8 knots at a direction of 65°.
As the aircraft climbed out of MMMX, it began its enroute climb approximately 2 miles northeast of the airport, reaching an altitude of 34,078 feet above sea level (asl) after a 29-minute ascent of 25,728 feet, covering a distance of 201 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise phase commenced 62 miles northeast of Palma Sola, lasting 100 minutes and covering 806 nautical miles. The aircraft then initiated its enroute descent 50 miles west of Indian Rocks Beach, Florida, and subsequently leveled off overhead Wekiwa Springs for a brief 3-minute cruise. The final descent phase began overhead Heathrow, Florida, and concluded with a landing on runway 18R at Orlando International Airport (KMCO).
The landing on runway 18R, which measures 3,662 meters in length, was executed with good threshold height and threshold speed, touching down at a speed of 138 knots. The touchdown point was 272 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown rate was good at -158 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the runway rollout alignment was also satisfactory. The total landing distance was 2,479 meters, accounting for 68% of the runway length. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in 5 minutes, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,202 nautical miles, with a total flight time of 176 minutes and a fuel consumption of 8,728 kilograms.
The Boeing 737-900 touched down on runway 18R at KMCO Orlando International Airport with a satisfactory approach quality, characterized by a stable and controlled descent. The aircraft was established on the final approach from the north, heading 179.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,307 feet above ground level. The threshold height was good, allowing for a smooth transition to the landing phase.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was 138 knots, which was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -158 feet per minute was also good. The touchdown point was 272 meters beyond the touchdown zone, but this was not considered a significant deviation. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was well-centered on the runway. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 37°C and a 10-knot headwind from 270°, did not pose any significant challenges to the landing.
The total landing distance of 2,479 meters was 68% of the runway length, which was within the acceptable range. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the aircraft maintained its centerline alignment throughout the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was considered satisfactory, with a score of 97.1%.
