Landing Summary

The Douglas DC-6B entered the final approach to runway 29 at MMGL Guadalajara International Airport from the south-east on a heading of 296.0° while 4 nm out and at 1,248 ft agl.

At the threshold the aircraft was at 57 ft agl, which was slightly above target, and the threshold speed was slightly above target at 103 kt.

Touchdown occurred 101 m beyond the designated touchdown zone with a speed of 95 kt judged good and a vertical rate of -177 fpm also good; the touchdown point was slightly misaligned by 3.8 m from the centreline.

The rollout covered a total landing distance of 1,572 m, representing 39 % of the 4,004 m runway, and runway rollout alignment was very good.

Reduce the approach height and fine-tune the speed to eliminate the slight excess observed at the threshold. Tighten centreline tracking to remove the 3.8 m offset observed at touchdown.
