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.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with five checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,195 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 311 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Boeing 737-600 taxiing from the parking to the runway at SBRF Recife/Guararapes - Gilberto Freyre International Airport. This process took 4 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile (nm). The departure roll took place on runway 18, and the aircraft required 886 meters or 29% of the runway to achieve lift-off. The liftoff speed was 148 knots (kt).
As the plane took off, it faced local weather conditions of 29°C and wind speeds of 7 kt at 120°, resulting in a 5 kt headwind and 5 kt crosswind. The flight then began its enroute climb, departing from SBRF Recife/Guararapes - Gilberto Freyre International Airport at an altitude of 1,099 feet above sea level (asl) and ascending to 37,873 ft asl. This climb spanned 33 minutes, covered a distance of 229 nm, and involved an increase of 36,774 ft.
During the enroute phase, the aircraft entered a level cruise at 37,873 ft asl, lasting 91 minutes and covering 856 nm. The cruise phase ended before the aircraft initiated its enroute descent. The descent began 14 miles north east of SWVP Fazenda Santa Isabel Airport Cutias and involved a decrease of 36,749 ft from 38,044 ft asl to 1,295 ft asl in just 10 minutes. This maneuver covered a distance of 246 nm.
The final approach to runway 08 at SOCA Cayenne – Félix Eboué Airport was conducted from the south west, heading 65.0° at 4 nm and 1,260 ft above ground level (agl). On landing, the aircraft touched down within a reasonable distance of 309 meters, consuming more runway than desired due to slightly faster touchdown speeds of 118 kt. The touchdown rate was 153 feet per minute (fpm), indicating good control.
The local weather at the final destination was characterized by 32°C temperature and 4 kt wind speeds at 90°, with a relatively gentle crosswind of 2 kt and a 4 kt headwind. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 10.8 meters from the centerline. The total landing distance spanned 764 meters, accounting for 24% of the runway's length.
Upon landing, the aircraft experienced slight runway rollout alignment issues, with a deviation of 11.5 meters from the centerline. Taxiing from the runway to the parking took less than 1 minute and covered a short distance of less than 1 nm. The total flight distance measured 1,337 nm, with a total flight duration of 141 minutes. The aircraft consumed a significant amount of fuel, using 8,178 kg throughout the flight.
The Boeing 737-600 aircraft successfully landed at the SOCA Cayenne – Félix Eboué Airport on runway 08. The final approach was performed from the southwest, heading 65.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,260 feet above ground level (agl).
The evaluation of the landing scored a satisfactory 95.3%, indicating that the pilot demonstrated good piloting skills. The landing was executed with a good threshold height, indicating an appropriate approach path angle. The threshold speed, which is the speed at which the aircraft crosses the threshold of the runway, was within acceptable limits, at 124 knots.
The touchdown distance, which is a measure of how far the aircraft travels from the point it touches the ground, was also good at a length of 309 meters, well within the length of the 3,195-meter runway. The touchdown speed, however, was slightly higher than desirable, at 118 knots. Despite this, the touchdown rate, or the rate at which the aircraft descended, was within acceptable limits at -153 feet per minute.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft was slightly misaligned with the runway centerline by 10.8 meters. This deviation may require adjustments to the landing approach or landing technique. Additionally, the total landing distance from the point of touchdown to the point the aircraft came to a stop covered about 24% of the runway, at a length of 764 meters.
During the rollout on the runway, the aircraft was slightly misaligned again by 11.5 meters from the centerline. This may indicate a slight issue with the pilots' ability to align the aircraft with the runway during the post-landing phase. The conditions during landing were favorable, with a temperature of 32°C, a crosswind component of 2 kt, and a headwind component of 4 kt, making landing more manageable.
