Departure
Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.
What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 5.4°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
Below a thousand feet the aeroplane is slow, heavy and close to the ground. A steep turn loses lift, raises the stall speed and flattens the climb just when the gradient matters most. A normal turn on course is a rate one — fifteen degrees or so, twenty-five at the outside, this penalty is to acknowledge when a turn has stopped being a turn and become a manoeuvre.

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 1,802 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 213 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 10 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, an Airbus A320, then departed from runway 28R at SBGR André Franco Montoro International Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,674 meters, which accounted for 47% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 150 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 24 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 6 knots from a direction of 270 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 6 knots. The aircraft began its enroute climb 1 mile west of SBGR André Franco Montoro International Airport, São Paulo, Brazil, and ascended from an altitude of 3,433 feet above sea level to 15,521 feet above sea level, an increase of 12,088 feet, in 7 minutes and covering a distance of 34 nautical miles.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase 1 mile north-west of Louveira, São Paulo, Brazil, and remained at this altitude for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 9 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb phase 1 mile south-east of Campinas, São Paulo, Brazil, and ascended from 15,860 feet above sea level to 19,685 feet above sea level, an increase of 3,825 feet, in 3 minutes and covering a distance of 18 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, this time overhead Cosmopolis, São Paulo, Brazil, and remained at this altitude for 7 minutes, covering a distance of 39 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent phase 4 miles south-west of SSMV Fazenda Boa Vista Airport Pirassununga, São Paulo, Brazil, and descended from 19,727 feet above sea level to 3,172 feet above sea level, a decrease of 16,555 feet, in 11 minutes and covering a distance of 55 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 36 at SBRP Leite Lopes Airport was made from the south, with a heading of 343.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,361 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 36 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 212 meters, which was good, and a touchdown speed of 127 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was hard at -416 feet per minute, but the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 21 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 3 knots from a direction of 40 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 2 knots. The total landing distance was 1,017 meters, which accounted for 56% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 163 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 43 minutes. The aircraft used 1,561 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at SBRP Leite Lopes Airport, achieving a high score of 97.2%. The aircraft approached the runway from the south, heading 343.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,361 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a precise final approach, taking into account the local weather conditions.
The temperature at the time of landing was 21°C, with a gentle wind of 3 knots at 40°. This resulted in a minimal crosswind component of 3 knots and a headwind of 2 knots. The pilot effectively managed these conditions, ensuring a smooth and controlled descent.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed on the runway threshold at a speed of 132 knots, which was considered good. However, the touchdown speed of 127 knots was slightly faster than ideal, resulting in a harder touchdown rate of -416 feet per minute (fpm). Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot maintained control and stability throughout the landing.
The total landing distance of 1,017 meters was 56% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. This suggests that the pilot executed a precise and controlled approach, minimizing the time and distance required to land the aircraft. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the pilot maintained control and stability during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was executed with precision and control, resulting in a high score of 97.2%. The pilot's ability to manage the local weather conditions and execute a precise final approach and touchdown contributed to the success of the landing.
