Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a fixed point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline during the roll.
What happened: The aircraft drifted 29 ft off the runway centreline during the ground roll, and wing drift like that usually keeps reappearing as bank in the climb, with 5.3° of bank in the first climb segment and 5.4° still showing in the second.
Watch for: Heading indicator: steady on the runway centreline during the roll, then wings level through the climb.
Below a thousand feet the aeroplane is slow, heavy and close to the ground. A steep turn loses lift, raises the stall speed and flattens the climb just when the gradient matters most. A normal turn on course is a rate one — fifteen degrees or so, twenty-five at the outside, this penalty is to acknowledge when a turn has stopped being a turn and become a manoeuvre.

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 9,830 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,221 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from SLLP El Alto International Airport, the Boeing 737-600 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took approximately 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. As the aircraft lined up on runway 28, it was cleared for departure roll, and the aircraft accelerated down the 7,072-foot runway, utilizing 54% of its length before lifting off at a speed of 142 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure included a temperature of 59°F, with a wind of 16 knots at 320°, resulting in a crosswind of 12 knots and a headwind of 11 knots.
As the aircraft climbed away from SLLP, it began its enroute climb, which started approximately 3 miles northeast of SLLJ Laja Airport Los Andes. The aircraft climbed from an initial altitude of 13,968 feet above sea level to a cruising altitude of 38,492 feet, an increase of 24,524 feet in just 6 minutes, covering a distance of 181 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise phase followed, which lasted 34 minutes and covered a distance of 1,021 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started approximately 4 miles southeast of SIZG Fazenda Encontro das Águas Airport São Manuel, and descended from 38,400 feet to 14,872 feet, a decrease of 23,528 feet in 13 minutes, covering a distance of 89 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 28L at SBGR André Franco Montoro International Airport was initiated from the east, with the aircraft heading 254.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,359 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 129 knots, slightly above the recommended threshold speed. The total landing distance was 4,270 feet, which accounted for 43% of the runway length. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took approximately 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,359 nautical miles, and the aircraft used 15,985 pounds of fuel during the flight, which lasted a total of 80 minutes.
The Boeing 737-600 touched down on runway 28L at SBGR André Franco Montoro International Airport with a good threshold height, allowing the crew to maintain a stable approach. The threshold speed of 130 kt was well within the acceptable range, indicating a well-executed approach. As the aircraft made contact with the runway, the touchdown distance of 1,222 ft was satisfactory, but the touchdown speed of 129 kt was slightly above the ideal, resulting in a firm touchdown rate of -391 fpm.
The runway touchdown alignment was very good, with the aircraft centered on the runway. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 72 °F and a gentle headwind of 1 kt, contributed to a smooth landing. The crosswind of 7 kt from the right was effectively managed by the crew, ensuring a stable approach. The total landing distance of 4,270 ft, which accounted for 43% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits.
During the rollout phase, the aircraft remained aligned with the runway centerline for the majority of the distance, but deviated by 37 ft at one point. Despite this minor misalignment, the overall landing performance was satisfactory, earning a score of 93.3%. The crew's ability to manage the approach and touchdown was commendable, and the aircraft's handling characteristics were well within the expected range.
