Keep the wings level on final
Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

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 1,591 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,591 m of the 3,441 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 338 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 8 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 34 at MMSD Aeropuerto Internacional de Los Cabos. The takeoff distance was 1,621 meters, which accounted for 54% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 175 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 18 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 7 knots at a direction of 319 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 6 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile west of Santa Anita in the Estado de Baja California Sur, Mexico. The climb took 24 minutes and covered a distance of 134 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from 1,305 feet above sea level to 37,424 feet above sea level, an increase of 36,119 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 66 miles west of MM40 Isla Maria Madre Isla Maria Madre in the Estado de Nayarit, Mexico. This phase lasted for 53 minutes and covered a distance of 411 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 4 miles west of Santiago de Queretaro in the Estado de Queretaro, Mexico. The descent took 10 minutes and covered a distance of 64 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from 37,932 feet above sea level to 17,606 feet above sea level, a decrease of 20,326 feet.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 4 miles south east of San Andres Timilpan in the Estado de Mexico, Mexico. This phase lasted for 4 minutes and covered a distance of 20 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 1 mile north east of Tepeji del Rio de Ocampo in the Estado de Hidalgo, Mexico. The descent took 9 minutes and covered a distance of 33 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from 17,641 feet above sea level to 8,592 feet above sea level, a decrease of 9,049 feet.
The final approach to runway 05R at MMMX Benito Juárez International Airport was made from the south west, with a heading of 51.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,280 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 05R, which had a length of 3,441 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 144 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 339 meters, and the touchdown speed was 139 knots, which was also good. However, the touchdown rate was fair at -291 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.7 meters from the centreline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 9 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 5 knots at a direction of 60 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 0 knots and a headwind of 5 knots. The total landing distance was 1,520 meters, which accounted for 44% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 12 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 672 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 122 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 5,078 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at Benito Juárez International Airport, specifically on runway 05R, after a final approach from the southwest. The aircraft's heading during the approach was 51.0°, and it was at an altitude of 1,280 feet above ground level (agl) at a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was executed with a high degree of precision, achieving a score of 98.2%.
The aircraft's approach and landing parameters were well within the acceptable limits. The threshold height was good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct altitude as it approached the runway. The threshold speed of 144 knots was also within the expected range, demonstrating the pilot's ability to control the aircraft's speed during the approach. The touchdown distance of 339 meters was also good, indicating that the aircraft landed smoothly and did not experience any significant deceleration during the landing roll.
However, there were a few minor issues with the landing. The touchdown rate of -291 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair, suggesting that the aircraft may have experienced a slight bounce or oscillation during the landing. Additionally, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.7 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the aircraft's heading or a minor error in the pilot's navigation.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 9°C and a wind speed of 5 knots from a direction of 60°. The crosswind component was negligible, and the headwind component was 5 knots, which may have helped to stabilize the aircraft during the approach. The total landing distance of 1,520 meters was 44% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight.
Overall, the landing was executed with a high degree of precision and control, and the aircraft's performance was well within the acceptable limits. However, there were a few minor issues that may be worth addressing in future training or operations.
