Landing Summary

The Douglas DC-6B established final approach to runway 04 at MMPR Puerto Vallarta International Airport from the south-west, maintaining a heading of 46.0 ° at 4 nm and 1,808 ft agl. Local weather was 31 °C with wind 6 kt from 40 °, including a 1 kt crosswind component and a 6 kt headwind component.

At the threshold the aircraft achieved a good height, but the threshold speed was well above target at 110 kt. The flare proceeded without noted deviation.

Touchdown occurred 375 m down the runway, a good distance, with a touchdown speed of 103 kt that was a little fast. The vertical rate was smooth at minus 126 fpm and runway touchdown alignment was perfect.

Reduce the approach and touchdown speeds to bring them closer to target values, focusing on a slightly slower descent profile to avoid the excess speed noted at threshold and touchdown. Adjusting speed management will help maintain the high overall score while tightening performance margins.
