See Arrival Final 3
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 threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
At the 1,000 ft gate: speed above the reference speed.
At the 500 ft gate: speed above the reference speed.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,441 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 325 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 5 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-700, then departed from runway 18L at KAUS Austin Bergstrom International Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,056 meters, which accounted for 38% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 145 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions of 29°C temperature and a 5-knot headwind at 180°. The enroute climb started 1 mile south east of KAUS Austin Bergstrom International Airport, where the aircraft climbed from 1,486 feet above sea level to 38,017 feet above sea level, an increase of 36,530 feet in 29 minutes, covering a distance of 167 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 16 miles south of KNWL Waldron Field Naval Outlying Landing Field Corpus Christi, and lasted for 47 minutes, covering a distance of 369 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent 2 miles east of Ixcatepec, Mexico, where it descended from 37,904 feet above sea level to 9,774 feet above sea level, a decrease of 28,130 feet in 19 minutes, covering a distance of 114 nautical miles.
The aircraft then experienced a short enroute climb 3 miles south west of Tepeji del Rio de Ocampo, Mexico, where it climbed from 9,773 feet above sea level to 11,160 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,387 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 8 nautical miles. The enroute descent started 3 miles north of MMLN Rancho Lanzarote Airport Loma de San Jose, Mexico, where it descended from 11,025 feet above sea level to 8,912 feet above sea level, a decrease of 2,114 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 15 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered a short enroute level cruise 2 miles west of Naucalpan de Juarez, Mexico, which lasted for 3 minutes, covering a distance of 9 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 05R at MMMX Benito Juárez International Airport was made from the south west, heading 59.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,264 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 05R at MMMX Benito Juárez International Airport was successful, with a touchdown distance of 326 meters, which was good. The touchdown speed was 128 knots, which was a little fast, but the touchdown rate was good at -160 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.3 meters from the centreline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 18°C temperature and a 3-knot tailwind at 300°.
The total landing distance was 955 meters, which accounted for 28% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing to the parking from the runway took 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 689 nautical miles, taking 111 minutes, and the aircraft used 5,104 kilograms of fuel.
The Boeing 737-700 aircraft successfully landed at Benito Juárez International Airport, specifically on runway 05R, after a final approach from the southwest. The aircraft's score for this landing was an impressive 98.8%, indicating a high level of proficiency and control throughout the entire process.
The aircraft's altitude and distance from the runway at the start of the final approach were 1,264 feet above ground level (agl) and 4 nautical miles (nm), respectively. The heading was 59.0°, which is a relatively standard approach angle for a runway 05R landing. The aircraft's speed and altitude were well-managed, with a threshold speed of 136 knots (kt) and a good threshold height.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was slightly higher than desired, at 128 kt, which may have been due to a slight miscalculation or a brief moment of turbulence. However, the touchdown rate was good, at -160 feet per minute (fpm), indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown distance was also within acceptable limits, at 326 meters.
One area for improvement was the runway touchdown position, which was slightly misaligned by 5.3 meters from the centerline. This may have been due to a slight deviation in the aircraft's heading or a brief moment of crosswind. However, the runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot was able to quickly and smoothly align the aircraft with the runway centerline.
The local weather conditions were relatively calm, with a temperature of 18°C and winds of 3 kt at 300°. The crosswind component was minimal, at 3 kt, and the tailwind component was even smaller, at 1 kt. Overall, the landing was a success, with the aircraft coming to a stop within 28% of the runway length, at a total distance of 955 meters.
