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.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
At the 500 ft gate: off the centreline.

Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 6,206 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,812 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Vision Jet taxiing from the parking area to the runway at MMCU General Roberto Fierro Villalobos International Airport, a process that took 6 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 18L, with a takeoff distance of 2,539 feet, which accounted for 30% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 95 knots.
As the aircraft climbed, it encountered local weather conditions of a temperature of 76°F and winds of 23 knots at 243°. The crosswind was 18 knots, while the headwind was 14 knots. The enroute climb started 1 mile south of the airport and continued for 20 minutes, covering a distance of 68 nautical miles. During this time, the aircraft climbed from an altitude of 5,519 feet above sea level to 29,210 feet above sea level, an increase of 23,691 feet.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 13 miles southwest of MMHD Minera La Perla Airport Hercules. This phase lasted for 65 minutes and covered a distance of 366 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, which started 4 miles southwest of Reynosa, Mexico. The descent from 29,641 feet above sea level to 1,613 feet above sea level took 21 minutes and covered a distance of 11 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 31 at MMRX General Lucio Blanco International Airport was made from the southeast, with a heading of 321.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,473 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 31 was successful, with a total landing distance of 2,599 feet, which accounted for 42% of the runway. The touchdown point was 388 feet beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 73 knots, which was slightly fast. The touchdown rate was good at -191 feet per minute.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 82°F and winds of 16 knots at 100°. The crosswind was 10 knots, while the tailwind was 12 knots. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 33 feet from the centreline, and the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 33 feet from the centreline.
The flight concluded with the Vision Jet taxiing from the runway to the parking area, a process that took 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 452 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 115 minutes. The aircraft used 748 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Vision Jet aircraft successfully landed at MMRX General Lucio Blanco International Airport, but with some notable deviations from the ideal landing parameters. The final approach was initiated from the southeast, heading 321.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,473 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 31, which has a length of 6,206 feet.
However, the threshold height at 61 feet agl was above the target, indicating that the aircraft was slightly higher than desired when reaching the runway threshold. Additionally, the threshold speed of 86 knots was well above the target, suggesting that the pilot may have been applying too much power or not enough braking during the approach.
The touchdown point was 388 feet beyond the touchdown zone, which is a significant deviation from the ideal landing spot. Furthermore, the touchdown speed of 73 knots was a little fast, indicating that the pilot may have been unable to slow the aircraft down sufficiently before touching down. On the positive side, the touchdown rate of -191 feet per minute (fpm) was good, indicating that the aircraft was able to absorb the impact of landing smoothly.
The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 33 feet from the centreline, which could have been due to a variety of factors, including crosswind or pilot error. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 82°F and winds of 16 knots at 100°. The crosswind component was 10 knots, while the tailwind component was 12 knots.
The total landing distance of 2,599 feet was 42% of the runway length, which is a relatively short landing distance. However, the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 33 feet from the centreline, which could have been due to the same factors that contributed to the initial touchdown position misalignment. Overall, while the landing was successful, there were several areas for improvement that the pilot could focus on in future approaches.
