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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,360 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 318 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 16 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-700, then departed from runway 11R at SBBR Presidente Juscelino Kubitschek International Airport in Brasília, Brazil. The takeoff distance was 813 meters, which was 25% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 139 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 30 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 12 knots at a direction of 69 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 12 knots. The aircraft began its enroute climb overhead the airport, ascending from an altitude of 4,439 feet above sea level to 40,997 feet above sea level, an increase of 36,559 feet in 13 minutes, covering a distance of 82 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 14 miles south of SNDO Ouro Branco Airport in Paracatu, Brazil, and lasted for 16 minutes, covering a distance of 113 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent 20 miles east of SNYS WD Agroindustrial Airport in João Pinheiro, Brazil. The descent from 41,000 feet above sea level to 4,077 feet above sea level, a decrease of 36,922 feet in 23 minutes, covered a distance of 128 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 13 at SBBH Pampulha - Carlos Drummond de Andrade Airport was made from the west, heading 111.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,486 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 13 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 321 meters, which was good. The touchdown speed was 121 knots, which was fast, but the touchdown rate was excellent at -93 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was also perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 28 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 8 knots at a direction of 80 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 7 knots. The total landing distance was 842 meters, which was 36% of the runway length. The total flight distance was 332 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 71 minutes. The aircraft used 2,026 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-700 aircraft successfully landed at SBBH Pampulha - Carlos Drummond de Andrade Airport, achieving a high score of 98.7%. The final approach to runway 13 was conducted from the west, with a heading of 111.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,486 feet above ground level.
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a good threshold height, and the threshold speed was well above the target at 125 knots. This indicates that the pilot had sufficient control and managed to slow down the aircraft effectively before touchdown. The touchdown distance of 321 meters was also within acceptable limits, demonstrating the pilot's ability to control the aircraft's descent.
However, the touchdown speed of 121 knots was slightly faster than expected, which may indicate that the pilot could have applied more braking or reverse thrust to slow down the aircraft more quickly. Nevertheless, the touchdown rate of -93 feet per minute was excellent, indicating a smooth and controlled touchdown.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 28°C and a wind speed of 8 knots from a direction of 80°. The crosswind component was minimal at 4 knots, while the headwind component was 7 knots, which helped to reduce the aircraft's ground speed and make the landing more manageable.
The total landing distance of 842 meters was 36% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. This suggests that the pilot had good control over the aircraft's descent and was able to bring it to a stop quickly and safely. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the pilot had maintained control of the aircraft throughout the landing process.
Overall, the landing was a success, with the pilot demonstrating good control and management of the aircraft throughout the final approach and touchdown. The high score of 98.7% reflects the pilot's skill and experience in landing the Boeing 737-700 at SBBH Pampulha - Carlos Drummond de Andrade Airport.
