A small uncorrected heading error at 40 knots becomes a metre of offset per second by 100 knots, noticed only at rotation, producing a crabbed liftoff. Root cause is nearly always eyes on the tape instead of the far end of the runway. Small heading changes displace a distant point visibly long before the nearby centreline stripes look wrong.

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.

Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 6,740 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,170 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 9 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The Airbus A320 then departed from runway 28R at SBGR André Franco Montoro International Airport, with a takeoff distance of 7,541 feet, which was 65% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 165 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions of 83°F temperature and a wind speed of 7 knots at 303°. The crosswind was 6 knots, while the headwind was 5 knots. After departing from the airport, the enroute climb started 1 mile west of SBGR André Franco Montoro International Airport, with the aircraft climbing from 3,476 feet above sea level to 33,544 feet above sea level, an increase of 30,067 feet in 17 minutes, covering a distance of 95 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 2 miles west of SDTK Paraty Airport Paraty, and lasted for 24 minutes, covering a distance of 192 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent 8 miles southeast of Sao Fidelis, descending from 34,019 feet above sea level to 1,483 feet above sea level, a decrease of 32,536 feet in 23 minutes, covering a distance of 116 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 02 at SBVT Eurico de Aguiar Salles Airport was made from the south, with the aircraft heading 352.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,456 feet above ground level. However, a go-around was initiated at 20 feet above ground level. The aircraft then landed on runway 02, with a runway length of 6,740 feet. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 138 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 1,176 feet, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 133 knots. The touchdown rate was firm at -389 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 72°F temperature and a wind speed of 8 knots at 64°. The crosswind was 8 knots, while the headwind was 2 knots. The total landing distance was 3,681 feet, which was 55% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also very good.
After landing, the aircraft taxiing to the parking area from the runway took 6 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 421 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 100 minutes. The aircraft used 8,821 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed on runway 02 at SBVT Eurico de Aguiar Salles Airport, achieving a score of 93.7%. The aircraft approached the runway from the south, heading 352.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,456 feet above ground level (agl).
During the final approach, the aircraft maintained a good alignment with the runway, and the touchdown distance was within acceptable limits at 1,176 feet. The touchdown speed of 133 knots was slightly above the target, indicating that the aircraft may have touched down with a bit too much energy. However, the touchdown rate of -389 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, suggesting that the aircraft was able to absorb the impact smoothly.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 72°F and a wind speed of 8 knots from 64°. The crosswind component was 8 knots, while the headwind component was 2 knots. These conditions did not appear to have a significant impact on the landing.
The aircraft's performance on the runway was also satisfactory, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed that was slightly above target. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain a stable and controlled descent after touchdown.
Overall, the landing was successful, and the aircraft was able to come to a stop within 3,681 feet of the runway, which is 55% of the runway length. While there were some minor deviations from the target parameters, the landing was generally smooth and controlled, and the aircraft was able to maintain a good alignment with the runway throughout the process.
