Improve the rollout
Ground control varies with speed, full authority at walking pace, progressively reducing as groundspeed rises. The aircraft becomes twitchy at any speed, every small pedal input swings the nose, which can encourage large-amplitude leg inputs that no real aircraft would accept.

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 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 11,485 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,523 ft 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 8 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-900, then departed from runway 26L at Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport (KATL). The takeoff distance was 4,972 feet, which was 50% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 158 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 62°F and a wind speed of 17 knots from a direction of 320°. The crosswind component was 13 knots, while the headwind component was 11 knots. The aircraft climbed to an altitude of 36,005 feet above sea level (asl) over College Park, Georgia, after taking off. This climb phase lasted for 21 minutes and covered a distance of 113 nautical miles.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 1 mile east of Dawson Muni Dawson Airport (16J) in Georgia. This cruise phase lasted for 79 minutes and covered a distance of 576 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent from 37,271 feet asl to 2,743 feet asl over Las Clavellinas Airport (MUCV) in Cuba. This descent phase lasted for 18 minutes and covered a distance of 101 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 12 miles west of Cancun, Mexico. This cruise phase was brief, lasting only 2 minutes and covering a distance of 4 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent phase, which started 10 miles west of Alfredo V. Bonfil Airport in Mexico. This descent phase lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 6 nautical miles, bringing the aircraft down to an altitude of 1,356 feet asl.
The final approach to runway 12R at Cancun International Airport (MMUN) was made from the northwest, with the aircraft heading 124.0° at an altitude of 1,330 feet above ground level (agl) and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway threshold. The landing was made on the runway, which had a length of 11,485 feet. The threshold height was good, but the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 142 knots.
The touchdown point was 173 feet beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 138 knots, which was a little fast. However, the touchdown rate was smooth at -148 feet per minute (fpm). The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 23 feet. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 79°F and a wind speed of 9 knots from a direction of 100°. The crosswind component was 4 knots, while the headwind component was 8 knots.
The total landing distance was 4,480 feet, which was 39% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. 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 808 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 135 minutes. The aircraft used 13,167 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-900 aircraft successfully landed at MMUN Aeropuerto Internacional de Cancún, achieving a score of 97.7%. The final approach to runway 12R was initiated from the north-west, with a heading of 124.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,330 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft touched down on the runway, with the threshold height being satisfactory. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 142 knots. The touchdown point was located 173 feet beyond the designated touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed of 138 knots was a bit faster than desired. Despite this, the touchdown rate was smooth, with a descent rate of -148 feet per minute (fpm).
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 23 feet, which may have been due to the crosswind or pilot error. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 79°F, with a wind speed of 9 knots from a direction of 100°. The crosswind component was 4 knots, while the headwind component was 8 knots.
The total landing distance of 4,480 feet was 39% of the available runway length of 11,485 feet. This indicates that the aircraft had sufficient runway remaining for a safe stop. The runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilots maintained control of the aircraft during the landing roll.
Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score despite some minor deviations from the desired touchdown point and speed. The pilots' ability to maintain control and align the aircraft with the runway centreline during the rollout was commendable.
