Next time

Departure

Rotate as soon as the aircraft reaches 65 kt rather than letting speed build further.

What happened: You rotated late, lifting off at 87 kt against a 65 kt target, and the climb speed carried fast at 97 kt. A late rotation like this usually leaves the climb speed running fast behind it.

Watch for: Watch airspeed against the 65 kt rotation target.

See Departure RollDeparture Climb 3

Arrival

Steepen your descent on final to regain the glideslope, aiming to cross the threshold at 50 ft agl.

What happened: You were high on the glideslope during the approach; carrying that extra energy down to the runway usually leaves the threshold speed fast too, as it was here at 80 kt, 13 kt above target.

Watch for: Watch the glideslope indicator on final, holding it centered all the way to the threshold at 50 ft.

See Arrival ApproachArrival Landing

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.

Flight narrative

Departure from Puerto Vallarta International Airport (MMPR) commenced with a roll on runway 22, utilizing 2,297 feet of the available runway length, which represented 22% of the total. The aircraft, a Cessna 172, accelerated to a liftoff speed of 87 knots, clearing the ground at a relatively low altitude. Local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 61°F and a light wind of 1 knot from 270°, resulting in a negligible crosswind component.

As the aircraft transitioned to the enroute phase, it began a climb from 955 feet above sea level (asl) to 1,189 feet asl, a vertical gain of 234 feet over a distance of 1 nautical mile in 1 minute. The climb was initiated overhead MMPR, marking the beginning of the aircraft's journey northwards. Approximately 1 mile south of Nuevo Vallarta, the aircraft commenced a descent from 1,189 feet asl to 216 feet asl, a decrease of 973 feet over 2 minutes and a distance of 3 nautical miles. The final approach to landing was conducted from 1 nautical mile to 1 nautical mile at an altitude of 201 feet above ground level (agl).

The aircraft touched down at Nuevo Vallarta with a speed of 68 knots, which was slightly above the recommended touchdown speed. However, the touchdown rate of -189 feet per minute (fpm) was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown distance of 1,109 feet was satisfactory. Following touchdown, the aircraft rolled out to a distance of 1,084 feet, maintaining an altitude of 3 feet asl. Taxiing to the parking area took 7 minutes and covered a short distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 7 nautical miles, and the aircraft utilized 0 pounds of fuel during the flight, which lasted 11 minutes.

Landing Score 76.93 %
Landing Summary

The final approach to landing at Nuevo Vallarta was initiated from 1 nm out, with the aircraft descending from 201 ft above ground level (agl) to touch down safely on the runway. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a smooth and controlled descent. The aircraft touched down at a speed of 68 kt, which was slightly above the recommended threshold speed, but the touchdown rate of -189 fpm was good, indicating a controlled and stable touchdown.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft maintained its centreline alignment, with a touchdown distance of 1,109 ft, which was within the acceptable range. The landing rollout was also satisfactory, with the aircraft coming to a stop at an altitude of 3 ft above sea level (asl) after a distance of 1,084 ft. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 60 °F and a wind of 1 kt at 270 °, contributed to a relatively calm and stable environment for the landing.

Overall, the landing was scored 84.6%, reflecting a good performance in terms of approach quality, touchdown characteristics, and rollout. However, the slightly high touchdown speed was a minor deviation from the recommended standard. Despite this, the pilot demonstrated good control and stability throughout the landing, resulting in a safe and successful touchdown.
