This flight began with an Airbus A320 taking off from Santos Dumont Airport in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and climbing to a higher altitude. The aircraft started its ascent from an initial altitude of 2,597 feet above sea level, gradually increasing to 1,346 feet above sea level over the course of 2 minutes. During this time, the plane covered a distance of 4 nautical miles.
As the flight progressed, the aircraft began its final approach to runway 33 at Rio Galeão – Tom Jobim International Airport. The approach was made from the southeast, with the plane heading in a direction of 301.0 degrees. At this point, the aircraft was at an altitude of 1,316 feet above ground level and was 4 nautical miles away from the runway.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on runway 33, which has a length of 3,053 meters. The threshold height at the time of landing was significantly above the target, but the threshold speed was satisfactory at 127 knots. The touchdown distance was also good, measuring 412 meters. The touchdown speed was 126 knots, which was within acceptable limits.
However, the touchdown rate was quite heavy, with a rate of -773 feet per minute. Additionally, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline, deviating by 6.8 meters. The local weather conditions at the time of landing included a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 349 degrees. The crosswind and headwind were both 3 knots.
The total landing distance covered by the aircraft was 895 meters, which accounted for 29% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot had successfully controlled the aircraft during the landing process. The total flight distance was 7 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 3 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 98 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

The Airbus A320 aircraft successfully landed at SBGL Rio Galeão – Tom Jobim International Airport, with a score of 84.2%. The final approach to runway 33 was initiated from the south east, heading 301.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,316 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway at a speed of 126 knots, which was within the target range. The touchdown distance of 412 meters was also satisfactory. However, the touchdown rate was significantly higher than expected, at -773 feet per minute (fpm), indicating a heavy touchdown. This could be a concern for the aircraft's safety and potential damage to the landing gear.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 6.8 meters, which may require adjustments to the aircraft's approach path or the pilot's landing technique. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 15°C, a wind speed of 4 knots at 349°, and a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 3 knots.
The total landing distance of 895 meters was 29% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. This suggests that the aircraft was able to stop quickly after touchdown, which is a desirable outcome. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain its direction and speed after touchdown.
Overall, while the landing was not perfect, with some concerns regarding the touchdown rate and runway alignment, the aircraft was able to touch down safely and stop within a reasonable distance. The score of 84.2% suggests that there is room for improvement, but the landing was still considered satisfactory.
