Departure
Ease the nose up sooner to lift off at 136 kt instead of letting speed build on the ground.
What happened: The aircraft lifted off at 158 kt, 22 kt above the target liftoff speed.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 136 kt at liftoff

A crosswind landing is a geometry problem. The air mass you're flying in is moving sideways across the runway, and you need your ground track down the centreline with your wheels aligned to it at the moment of contact. There are two techniques that will help, the crab and the sideslip.

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: speed above the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,536 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,536 m of the 3,148 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 386 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 20 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, an Airbus A320, departed from runway 28R at SBGR André Franco Montoro International Airport in São Paulo, Brazil. The takeoff distance was 1,304 meters, which accounted for 37% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 158 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 33°C, with a wind speed of 17 knots at 317°. This resulted in a crosswind of 15 knots and a headwind of 7 knots. The aircraft began its enroute climb overhead SBGR André Franco Montoro International Airport, rising from 3,475 feet above sea level to 22,732 feet above sea level in just 7 minutes, covering a distance of 23 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 3 miles north of SDIH Fazenda Irohy Airport Biritiba-Mirim, lasting for 2 minutes and covering 11 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb, this time from 22,841 feet above sea level to 29,223 feet above sea level in 5 minutes, covering a distance of 34 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise resumed 1 mile west of Camanducaia, lasting for 2 minutes and covering 13 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its descent from 29,224 feet above sea level to 3,605 feet above sea level in 13 minutes, covering a distance of 47 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 33 at SBKP Viracopos International Airport was made from the southeast, heading 308.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,436 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 33 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 384 meters and a touchdown speed of 129 knots, which was slightly faster than the target speed. The touchdown rate was firm at -314 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 15.0 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 28°C, with a wind speed of 9 knots at 0°. This resulted in a crosswind of 7 knots and a headwind of 5 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,451 meters, which accounted for 46% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 14.4 meters from the centerline. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 5 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 137 nautical miles, taking 51 minutes, and the aircraft used 1,587 kilograms of fuel.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at SBKP Viracopos International Airport, achieving a score of 90.0%. The aircraft approached the runway from the southeast, heading 308.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,436 feet above ground level (agl). The landing was executed on runway 33, which has a length of 3,148 meters.
The threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct height as it approached the runway. However, the threshold speed was above the target speed, coming in at 137 knots. This may have been due to the aircraft's descent rate or the pilot's decision to maintain a higher speed for the landing.
The touchdown distance was within acceptable limits, measuring 384 meters. However, the touchdown speed was slightly faster than desired, coming in at 129 knots. This may have resulted in a firmer touchdown rate, which was measured at -314 feet per minute (fpm). The runway touchdown position was also slightly misaligned from the centerline, deviating by 15.0 meters.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 28°C and a wind speed of 9 knots from a direction of 0°. The crosswind component was 7 knots, while the headwind component was 5 knots. These conditions did not appear to have a significant impact on the landing.
The total landing distance was 1,451 meters, which is approximately 46% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned from the centerline, deviating by 14.4 meters. Overall, the landing was successful, but there were some minor deviations from the desired parameters.
