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.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
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 5,861 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,861 ft of the 8,405 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 2,052 ft past the threshold — beyond 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 12 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a FNX320_TCACFM, then departed from runway 11 at Monterrey International Airport (MMMY). The takeoff distance was 5,793 feet, which accounted for 59% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 157 knots.
As the aircraft climbed, it encountered local weather conditions of a temperature of 93°F and winds of 6 knots at 109°. The crosswind was 1 knot, while the headwind was 6 knots. The enroute climb started 1 mile south east of MMMY and reached an altitude of 36,980 feet above sea level, an increase of 34,758 feet from the initial altitude of 2,221 feet. This climb took 23 minutes and covered a distance of 175 nautical miles.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 42 miles east of El Mezquite (Z21Z) and lasted for 96 minutes. During this period, the aircraft covered a distance of 730 nautical miles. The cruise phase was followed by a descent, which began 80 miles south west of Captiva (Florida, United States). The aircraft descended from 37,096 feet to 4,495 feet above sea level, a decrease of 32,601 feet, in 29 minutes and covered a distance of 191 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 9 miles south east of Key Biscayne (Florida, United States) and lasted for 2 minutes. This phase covered a distance of 5 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another descent, which started 14 miles south east of Key Biscayne. The descent from 4,191 feet to 1,618 feet above sea level took 5 minutes and covered a distance of 11 nautical miles.
The aircraft entered a final level cruise phase, which started 3 miles east of Key Biscayne and lasted for 3 minutes. This phase covered a distance of 8 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 30 at Miami International Airport (KMIA), heading 300.0° at an altitude of 1,258 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway.
The landing on runway 30 was successful, with the aircraft touching down 712 feet beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 133 knots, which was good, and the touchdown rate was -188 feet per minute, also good. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was also perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 73°F and winds of 2 knots at 280°, with a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 1 knot.
The total landing distance was 5,621 feet, which accounted for 67% of the runway. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,128 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 168 minutes. The aircraft used 14,220 pounds of fuel during the flight.
Aircraft FNX320_TCACFM successfully landed at KMIA Miami International Airport, demonstrating a high level of proficiency in its approach and landing procedures. The aircraft began its final approach to runway 30 from the southeast, heading 300.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,258 feet above ground level (agl).
The pilot's performance during the approach was impressive, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 136 knots, which is within the acceptable range for a safe landing. The touchdown point was 712 feet beyond the touchdown zone, but this was still considered a good landing, as the aircraft maintained control and stability throughout the descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 73°F and a gentle wind of 2 knots from 280°. This resulted in a minimal crosswind and headwind, making the landing even smoother. The pilot's ability to adapt to these conditions and maintain a perfect runway touchdown alignment is a testament to their skill and experience.
The aircraft's touchdown speed of 133 knots was also within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -188 feet per minute (fpm) was good, indicating a controlled and stable descent. The total landing distance of 5,621 feet was 67% of the runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and weight.
Finally, the runway rollout alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control and stability during the post-landing phase. Overall, the landing of aircraft FNX320_TCACFM at KMIA Miami International Airport was a success, with a score of 98.0% indicating a high level of proficiency and skill.
