Hold the approach angle
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.
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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,110 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 521 m past the threshold — beyond 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 less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, an ATR 72, then departed from runway 13 at MMTM General Francisco Javier Mina International Airport. The takeoff distance was 996 meters, which accounted for 39% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 123 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 29 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 10 knots at a direction of 110 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 6 knots and a headwind of 8 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, which started overhead MMTM General Francisco Javier Mina International Airport. The climb took 12 minutes and covered 37 nautical miles, with the aircraft ascending from 1,075 feet above sea level to 13,356 feet above sea level, an increase of 12,281 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 7 miles east of Ozuluama de Mascarenas. This phase lasted for 92 minutes and covered 239 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 2 miles northeast of San Andres Tuxtla. The descent took 13 minutes and covered 42 nautical miles, with the aircraft descending from 13,024 feet above sea level to 1,922 feet above sea level, a decrease of 11,102 feet.
The final approach to runway 01 at MMMT Minatitlán/Coatzacoalcos International Airport was made from the south, with the aircraft heading 12.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,876 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 01, which had a length of 2,110 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 119 knots.
The touchdown point was 96 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 104 knots and a touchdown rate of -181 feet per minute, both of which were good. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the runway rollout alignment was also very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 31 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 11 knots at a direction of 10 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 11 knots.
The total landing distance was 856 meters, which accounted for 41% of the runway. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 324 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 96 minutes. The aircraft used 943 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The ATR 72 aircraft successfully landed at Minatitlán/Coatzacoalcos International Airport, achieving a score of 95.0%. The final approach to runway 01 was conducted from the south, with a heading of 12.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,876 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on the runway, which has a length of 2,110 meters.
The threshold height was reported as good, but the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 119 knots. However, the touchdown point was 96 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The touchdown speed of 104 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -181 feet per minute was also good. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway during touchdown.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 31°C and a wind speed of 11 knots from a direction of 10°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 11 knots, which helped to reduce the landing distance. The total landing distance was 856 meters, which is 41% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was able to touch down and come to a stop within a reasonable distance.
During the rollout, the aircraft maintained a very good alignment with the runway, which is essential for safe and controlled deceleration. Overall, the landing was successful, and the aircraft was able to touch down and come to a stop within a short distance, despite a slightly above-target threshold speed.
