Twenty knots on a monitor produces the visual sensation of about ten. The advice to "taxi at a walking pace" cannot fix this, because your sense of walking pace is exactly the thing that's broken. Put the groundspeed readout in your scan and obey it for the next fifty flights, the way a student pilot leans on the airspeed indicator before learning to read attitude.

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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,996 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 450 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight took off from Salgado Filho International Airport in Porto Alegre, Brazil, on runway 11. The Boeing 737-700 aircraft began its departure roll and lifted off the ground after just 65% of the runway's length, which covered a distance of 1,471 meters. The liftoff speed was 150 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time were characterized by a temperature of 33 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 6 knots from the south at an angle of 120 degrees.
The crosswind component was 3 knots, while the headwind component was 5 knots, making the total wind speed 8 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile east of the airport and climbing from an altitude of 1,037 feet to 38,469 feet, an increase of 37,432 feet over a distance of 96 nautical miles in 15 minutes.
After reaching the cruising altitude, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, starting 13 miles northeast of Vacaria in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. This phase lasted for 34 minutes, covering a distance of 280 nautical miles. The aircraft's descent phase began 15 miles south of Nascimento II Airport in Capão Bonito, Sao Paulo, Brazil, and lasted for 28 minutes, during which the aircraft descended from 39,013 feet to 3,749 feet, a decrease of 35,264 feet over a distance of 102 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 10R at André Franco Montoro International Airport was made from the west, with a heading of 74.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,294 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was made on the runway, which had a length of 2,996 meters, and the threshold height was good. The threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 134 knots, but the touchdown speed of 128 knots was a little fast, while the touchdown rate was smooth at -109 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the total landing distance was 1,213 meters, which was 40% of the runway's length. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, which took 7 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 485 nautical miles, taken over a duration of 90 minutes, and the aircraft used 2,878 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-700 aircraft successfully landed on runway 10R at SBGR André Franco Montoro International Airport, marking a commendable accomplishment in aviation. The approach and landing were executed with precision, as evidenced by the aircraft's final approach from the west, heading 74.0°, at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,294 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft landed on the runway with a good threshold height, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 134 knots, indicating a slight deviation from the expected speed.
The touchdown distance of 449 meters was considered good, and the touchdown speed at 128 knots was a little fast, suggesting that the pilot may have been able to achieve a smoother touchdown with a slightly lower speed. However, the touchdown rate was smooth at -109 feet per minute (fpm), indicating a controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's skill and attention to detail in navigating the aircraft to the runway.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing consisted of a temperature of 22°C and a wind speed of 4 knots at 150°, with a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 1 knot. These conditions presented a moderate challenge to the pilot, but the aircraft's performance and the pilot's skills were sufficient to overcome these obstacles.
The total landing distance of 1,213 meters, which is 40% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout and brought it to a stop safely. Overall, the landing of the Boeing 737-700 on runway 10R at SBGR André Franco Montoro International Airport was a success, demonstrating the aircraft's capabilities and the pilot's expertise in executing a safe and controlled landing.
