Slow down before tight turns
See Arrival Taxi
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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,996 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 624 m past the threshold — beyond 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 5 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-700, then departed from runway 15 at SBCT Afonso Pena Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,426 meters, which accounted for 65% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 146 knots, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 23°C, with a wind speed of 4 knots at a direction of 70°.
The crosswind component was 4 knots, while the headwind component was 2 knots. As the aircraft took off, it began its enroute climb, which started 1 mile south east of SBCT Afonso Pena Airport. The climb was from an initial altitude of 4,040 feet above sea level to a final altitude of 35,126 feet above sea level, an increase of 31,086 feet in 12 minutes, covering a distance of 72 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 15 miles north west of SIBF Bunge Fertilizantes Airport Cajati. This phase lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 13 nautical miles. The enroute descent phase began 17 miles west of SDOS Issac Heliport Guarujá, where the aircraft descended from an altitude of 35,115 feet above sea level to 3,739 feet above sea level, a decrease of 31,377 feet in 21 minutes, covering a distance of 106 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 10R at SBGR André Franco Montoro International Airport was made from the west, with a heading of 74.0° at an altitude of 4 nautical miles and 1,280 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 10R, which had a length of 2,996 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 132 knots.
The touchdown point was 207 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 124 knots, which was a little fast. However, the touchdown rate was excellent at -65 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions during landing were characterized by a temperature of 24°C, with a wind speed of 3 knots at a direction of 90°. The crosswind component was 1 knot, while the headwind component was 3 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,274 meters, which accounted for 43% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, and the taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 5 minutes, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 199 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 46 minutes. The aircraft used 1,646 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-700 aircraft successfully landed at SBGR André Franco Montoro International Airport, achieving a high score of 98.2%. The final approach to runway 10R was conducted from the west, with a heading of 74.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,280 feet above ground level.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway, with the threshold height being satisfactory. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 132 knots, indicating a slight deviation from the optimal landing speed. The touchdown point was located 207 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which may be considered a minor deviation.
The touchdown speed of 124 knots was slightly faster than the ideal speed, but the touchdown rate of -65 feet per minute was excellent, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilot maintained a stable and aligned approach to the runway.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 24°C and a gentle wind of 3 knots at 90°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 3 knots, which helped to stabilize the aircraft during the landing.
The total landing distance of 1,274 meters was 43% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, suggesting that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase and brought it to a stop in a stable and aligned manner. Overall, the landing was successful, with the pilot demonstrating good control and precision during the approach and landing phases.
