Flight Score
Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.
What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 6.5 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Take the power back earlier on final, so the aircraft settles onto the path and the speed comes back to 104 kt together. Do not push down for the height: that only adds speed.
What happened: You crossed the threshold at 62 ft agl, 12 ft agl above the 50 ft agl target, and at 116 kt, 12 kt over the 104 kt threshold speed. High and fast together is energy the runway has to absorb, and this touchdown came 81 m beyond the aim point.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 104 kt on short final, then 50 ft agl over the threshold
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.

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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,641 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 538 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Douglas DC-6 taxied from the parking area to runway 27 at MMTJ Aeropuerto Internacional Gral. Abelardo Rodriguez for 35 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 27 the aircraft used 824 m of runway, representing 28 % of the available length, and lifted off at 110 kt. Ambient conditions were 36 °C with a wind of 10 kt from 259°, including a 3 kt cross-wind component and a 10 kt head-wind component.
Climb commenced 1 mile west of MMTJ, with the aircraft ascending from 1,354 ft asl to 15,513 ft asl, an increase of 14,159 ft achieved in 10 minutes while covering 35 nm.
The first level-cruise segment began 1 mile west of Encinitas, California and was maintained for 27 minutes, during which 113 nm were flown.
Descent started 3 miles south-west of Westlake Village, California, with the aircraft descending from 15,980 ft asl to 3,447 ft asl, a loss of 12,532 ft in 11 minutes over a distance of 49 nm.
A second cruise phase was initiated 1 mile south-east of Universal City, California, lasting 5 minutes and covering 16 nm.
The subsequent descent began overhead Cudahy, California, with the aircraft dropping from 3,153 ft asl to 1,428 ft asl, a reduction of 1,725 ft in 3 minutes while traveling 6 nm.
Final approach to runway 25R at KLAX Los Angeles International Airport was conducted from the east, on a heading of 262.0°, at 4 nm and 1,290 ft agl.
Landing on runway 25R, which is 3,641 m long, occurred with a threshold height of 62 ft agl above target and a threshold speed slightly above target at 116 kt. Touchdown was recorded 111 m beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 112 kt, with a vertical speed of minus 178 fpm and perfect runway alignment. Local weather at the time was 29 °C with a wind of 12 kt from 250°, including a 3 kt cross-wind and a 12 kt head-wind component.
The aircraft rolled out a total landing distance of 1,342 m, representing 37 % of the runway, and runway-rollout alignment was judged very good.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in 3 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
In total the flight covered 233 nm, required 70 minutes of elapsed time, and consumed 1,235 kg of fuel.
The CRJ900 touched down on runway 26R at KATL Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport with a good threshold height, allowing for a smooth transition from the approach to the touchdown phase. The threshold speed of 138 kt was well within the acceptable range, indicating a well-executed approach. The aircraft's touchdown distance of 411 m was also satisfactory, demonstrating good control and precision.
However, the touchdown speed of 134 kt was slightly above the optimal range, resulting in a fair touchdown rate of -279 fpm. This may have been due to the aircraft's momentum carrying over from the approach, but it did not significantly impact the overall landing performance. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.0 m from the centreline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the approach path or a minor issue with the aircraft's directional control.
The CRJ900's rollout was characterized by excellent alignment, with the aircraft staying very close to the centreline. The total landing distance of 1,317 m, which accounted for 48% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. Overall, the landing performance was impressive, with a score of 98.3% reflecting the high level of precision and control demonstrated by the crew. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 22 °C and a headwind of 11 kt, did not appear to have a significant impact on the landing.
