Next time

Departure

Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.

What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 33 ft off the runway centreline.

Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.

See Departure Roll

Arrival

Level the wings with coordinated aileron on short final so bank stays near wings-level through touchdown.

What happened: Wings were not level through the landing phase, with bank angle at 8.1° on short final.

Watch for: Watch the bank angle indicator, holding it near wings-level through the landing and touchdown.

See Arrival LandingArrival Touchdown

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.

The stabilisation gates

One stabilised approach gate: seven 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. These checks are the approach's score.

Flight narrative

Taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Puerto Vallarta International Airport (MMPR) took approximately one minute, covering a distance of less than one nautical mile. The aircraft, AA-5B (N28672), then began its departure roll on runway 22, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 80 knots. The takeoff distance was 1,575 feet, representing 15% of the runway length. Local weather conditions at the time of departure included a temperature of 60°F and a light wind of 1 knot from 270°.

As the aircraft climbed out of Puerto Vallarta, it transitioned into a steady enroute climb, reaching an altitude of 1,114 feet above sea level (asl) in just one minute, covering a distance of two nautical miles. The aircraft then leveled off for a brief period, cruising at a steady altitude before resuming its climb. This pattern of climb and cruise continued throughout the flight, with the aircraft reaching a maximum altitude of 3,906 feet asl. The flight plan took the aircraft over various coastal towns in the Estado de Nayarit, including Nuevo Vallarta, Bucerias, and Sayulita. The aircraft's climb and descent rates were consistent, with an average rate of climb of approximately 800 feet per minute.

The final approach to runway 20 at Penita De Jaltemba (MX85) was initiated from the north, with the aircraft descending from an altitude of 1,882 feet asl to 959 feet above ground level (agl). The landing was smooth, with a touchdown distance of 26 feet and a touchdown speed of 43 knots. However, the touchdown rate was heavy at -665 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline. The total landing distance was 604 feet, representing 17% of the runway length. The aircraft's fuel consumption for the flight was approximately 156 pounds, and the total flight distance was 38 nautical miles, taking approximately 21 minutes to complete.

Landing Summary

The aircraft, AA-5B (N28672), executed a final approach to runway 20 at MX85 Penita De Jaltemba from the north, aligning with the heading of 181.0° at 1 nautical mile and 959 feet above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height allowing for a controlled descent. However, the threshold speed of 44 knots was below the target, necessitating caution to avoid stalling the aircraft.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft demonstrated a good touchdown distance of 26 feet, with a corresponding touchdown speed of 43 knots. Although the touchdown rate was heavy at -665 feet per minute, the aircraft's ability to absorb the impact was satisfactory. Unfortunately, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 27 feet from the centreline, indicating a slight deviation from the intended path. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 59°F and a negligible wind of 1 knot at 270°, did not significantly impact the landing.

The total landing distance of 604 feet, accounting for 17% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. Notably, the runway rollout alignment was very good, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control and stability during the critical phase of the landing. Overall, the landing performance of AA-5B (N28672) scored 78.4%, reflecting a satisfactory but not exceptional execution of the landing.

Flare
54.45 %
The flare strayed well off the target profile. The flare took all the sink out 21 ft agl above the runway and the aircraft settled on from there, 247 fpm of sink coming back, having crossed the threshold below target speed. Touchdown was 44 ft past the threshold. Carry the speed to the flare and hold it lower - the aircraft ran out of lift before the wheels arrived, so the fix is energy on the approach, not attitude.
