Twenty knots on a monitor produces the visual sensation of about ten. The advice to "taxi at a walking pace" cannot fix this, because your sense of walking pace is exactly the thing that's broken. Put the groundspeed readout in your scan and obey it for the next fifty flights, the way a student pilot leans on the airspeed indicator before learning to read attitude.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,433 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 217 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 3 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-700, then departed from runway 31 at MMLO Aeropuerto Internacional del Bajío, with a takeoff distance of 1,511 meters, which was 43% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 144 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it started its enroute climb 1 mile northwest of MMLO Aeropuerto Internacional del Bajío Silao, located in the state of Guanajuato, Mexico. The climb took 36 minutes, during which the aircraft ascended from 6,959 feet above sea level to 38,832 feet above sea level, an increase of 31,872 feet. The enroute climb covered a distance of 262 nautical miles.
After reaching its cruising altitude, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 3 miles northwest of Fresnillo de Trujano, located in the state of Oaxaca, Mexico. This phase lasted for 213 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 1,489 nautical miles.
As the aircraft began its descent, it started from a latitude of -1.5915874 and a longitude of -82.6655375. The descent took 11 minutes, during which the aircraft descended from 38,926 feet above sea level to 1,282 feet above sea level, a decrease of 37,644 feet. The descent covered a distance of 112 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 31 at SESA General Ulpiano Paez Airport was made from the southeast, with a heading of 309.0 degrees. The aircraft was at an altitude of 4 nautical miles and 1,258 feet above ground level when it began its final approach.
The landing on runway 31 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 216 meters, which was 24% of the runway. The touchdown speed was 115 knots, and the touchdown rate was -173 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 27 degrees Celsius, a wind speed of 6 knots at 240 degrees, a crosswind of 5 knots, and a headwind of 2 knots.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, which took 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,869 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 246 minutes. The aircraft used 10,448 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-700 aircraft successfully landed at SESA General Ulpiano Paez Airport, showcasing a high level of precision and control. The final approach to runway 31 was executed from the south east, with the aircraft heading 309.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,258 feet above ground level (agl). This approach was characterized by a high score of 99.8%, indicating a nearly flawless execution of the landing procedure.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 115 knots, which was within the acceptable threshold speed of 120 knots. The touchdown distance of 216 meters was also well within the expected range, demonstrating the pilot's ability to control the aircraft's descent and speed. The touchdown rate of -173 feet per minute (fpm) was also satisfactory, indicating a smooth and controlled touchdown.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 27°C and a wind speed of 6 knots from 240°. This resulted in a crosswind of 5 knots and a headwind of 2 knots, which the pilot effectively managed during the landing. The total landing distance of 575 meters was only 24% of the runway length, indicating a short and controlled rollout.
The runway rollout alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the critical phase of landing. Overall, this landing was a testament to the pilot's skill and experience, as well as the aircraft's performance and handling characteristics. The successful landing of the Boeing 737-700 at SESA General Ulpiano Paez Airport was a result of careful planning, precise execution, and effective control of the aircraft.
