Maintain the centreline
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.
One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,680 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,680 m of the 3,286 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 442 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Airbus A319 taxiing from the parking area to the runway at SBIZ Prefeito Renato Moreira Airport, taking approximately 4 minutes to cover less than 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 07, with the takeoff distance covering 61% of the runway's length at 1,093 meters. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 131 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it encountered local weather conditions of 36°C temperature and a 7-knot headwind at 50°. The enroute climb started approximately 1 mile northeast of SBIZ Prefeito Renato Moreira Airport, with the aircraft ascending from 1,464 feet above sea level to 37,126 feet above sea level, an increase of 35,662 feet in 16 minutes, covering a distance of 98 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 9 miles northwest of SBCI Brig. Lysias Augusto Rodrigues Airport, lasting 58 minutes and covering 422 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its enroute descent 16 miles north of SWNQ Niquelândia Airport, descending from 36,753 feet above sea level to 5,469 feet above sea level, a decrease of 31,284 feet in 19 minutes, covering a distance of 106 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another enroute level cruise, this time starting 10 miles west of SBBR Presidente Juscelino Kubitschek International Airport, lasting only 2 minutes and covering 6 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 11R at SBBR Presidente Juscelino Kubitschek International Airport was made from the west, heading 86.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,310 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 11R took place with a threshold speed slightly above the target at 132 knots, and a touchdown distance of 443 meters, which was considered good. The touchdown speed was a little fast at 123 knots, but the touchdown rate was fair at -248 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the local weather conditions at the time of landing were 24°C temperature and a 7-knot headwind at 110°.
The total landing distance was 1,593 meters, covering 48% of the runway's length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, and the aircraft took approximately 4 minutes to taxi to the parking area from the runway, covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 641 nautical miles, taking 108 minutes, and the aircraft used 3,722 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A319 successfully landed at SBBR Presidente Juscelino Kubitschek International Airport, achieving a high score of 99.7%. The aircraft approached the runway from the west, heading 86.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,310 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with precision, and the aircraft landed safely on runway 11R, which has a length of 3,286 meters.
The threshold height was good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct altitude as it approached the runway. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 132 knots, which may have been due to various factors such as wind conditions or the aircraft's performance. Despite this, the touchdown distance was good at 443 meters, demonstrating the pilot's skill in controlling the aircraft's descent.
The touchdown speed of 123 knots was a little fast, which may have resulted in a slightly higher touchdown rate of -248 feet per minute (fpm). However, this was still considered fair, and the aircraft's alignment with the runway at touchdown was very good. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 24°C and a wind speed of 8 knots at 110°, also played a role in the landing.
The crosswind component was minimal at 3 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 1,593 meters was 48% of the runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and the runway's length.
The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase and ensured a safe and stable stop. Overall, the landing was a success, and the pilot's skills and experience were evident throughout the approach and landing phases.
