Hold the approach angle
Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

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 1,833 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 438 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 14 at SBPJ Brigadeiro Lysias Rodrigues Airport, where the Boeing 737-700 took off with a takeoff distance of 1,271 meters, which was 51% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 150 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time were characterized by a temperature of 26 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 89 degrees, resulting in a negligible crosswind and headwind.
As the aircraft climbed out of the airport, it began its enroute climb 1 mile south east of SBPJ Brigadeiro Lysias Rodrigues Airport, heading towards Palmas (Tocantins, Brazil). The climb was a significant one, with the aircraft ascending from an initial altitude of 1,827 feet above sea level to a maximum altitude of 38,729 feet, an increase of 36,902 feet in just 39 minutes. This climb phase covered a distance of 292 nautical miles.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered its enroute level cruise phase, which started 27 miles south west of SSRK Campo Alegre de Lourdes Airport Campo Alegre De Lourdes (Bahia, Brazil). During this phase, the aircraft maintained a steady altitude and flew for 71 minutes, covering a distance of 558 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its enroute descent phase, which started 22 miles north east of Extremoz (Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil). The descent was a steep one, with the aircraft descending from an altitude of 38,945 feet above sea level to a final altitude of 1,406 feet, a decrease of 37,539 feet in just 26 minutes. This descent phase covered a distance of 180 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 12 at SBFN Fernando de Noronha Airport was made from the west, with the aircraft heading 94.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,216 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 125 knots and a touchdown distance of 440 meters, which was 47% of the runway length.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 28 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 5 knots from a direction of 100 degrees, resulting in a negligible crosswind and a headwind of 5 knots. The touchdown rate was fair at -221 feet per minute, but the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area, taking less than 1 minute and covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
In total, the flight covered a distance of 1,037 nautical miles and took 141 minutes to complete, using 6,427 kilograms of fuel. The flight was a successful one, with the aircraft performing well throughout its various phases.
The Boeing 737-700 aircraft successfully landed at SBFN Fernando de Noronha Airport, achieving a high score of 99.7%. The final approach to runway 12 was conducted from the west, with a heading of 94.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,216 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach was well-executed, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 137 knots, which is within the acceptable range.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft performed well, with a touchdown distance of 440 meters, which is within the expected range. The touchdown speed of 125 knots was also good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. However, the touchdown rate of -221 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair, suggesting that the aircraft may have touched down slightly harder than desired.
Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 28°C and a gentle headwind of 5 knots from a direction of 100°. This headwind actually helped to reduce the crosswind component, which was negligible at 0 knots.
The total landing distance of 865 meters was 47% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. This suggests that the aircraft was able to stop quickly and efficiently after touchdown. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was a success, with the aircraft performing well in terms of speed, distance, and alignment. The only area for improvement was the touchdown rate, which could be addressed through further training and practice.
