Flight Score
Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.
What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 10 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Ground control varies with speed, full authority at walking pace, progressively reducing as groundspeed rises. The aircraft becomes twitchy at any speed, every small pedal input swings the nose, which can encourage large-amplitude leg inputs that no real aircraft would accept.

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.

Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,757 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 459 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft taxiing from the parking area to the runway at TNCC Hato International Airport, taking 11 minutes and covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 11, with a takeoff distance of 1,517 meters, which accounted for 59% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 172 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of the airport, it encountered local weather conditions of 32°C temperature and winds of 12 knots at 80 degrees. The crosswind was 4 knots, while the headwind was 11 knots. The enroute climb started 1 mile east of the airport and took the aircraft from 1,035 feet above sea level to 33,883 feet above sea level, an increase of 32,847 feet in 21 minutes, covering a distance of 135 nautical miles.
After reaching cruising altitude, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 1 mile south of Guacara in Venezuela. This phase lasted for 198 minutes, covering a distance of 2,295 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting 5 miles southeast of SSNU Santa Isabel Airport in Brazil. The descent took the aircraft from 34,016 feet above sea level to 3,821 feet above sea level, a decrease of 30,195 feet in 16 minutes, covering a distance of 110 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 17R at SBSP Congonhas Airport was made from the northwest, heading 148.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,202 feet above ground level. The landing took place on a runway with a length of 1,757 meters, and the threshold height was good. The threshold speed was slightly above the target at 135 knots, while the touchdown distance was good at 457 meters. The touchdown speed was 125 knots, which was good, and the touchdown rate was excellent at -81 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 9.0 meters from the centreline, and the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 10.1 meters from the centreline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 21°C temperature and winds of 8 knots at 140 degrees, with a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 7 knots. The total landing distance was 1,136 meters, which accounted for 65% of the runway.
The flight concluded with the aircraft taxiing to the parking area from the runway, taking 3 minutes and covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 2,549 nautical miles, taking 249 minutes, and the aircraft used 14,261 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at SBSP Congonhas Airport on runway 17R, achieving a high score of 96.3%. The aircraft approached the runway from the northwest, heading 148.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,202 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot maintained a good threshold height, which is a critical aspect of a safe landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was slightly above the target threshold speed of 135 knots, registering at 135 kt. However, the touchdown distance of 457 meters was considered good, indicating that the pilot had sufficient control over the aircraft's descent. The touchdown speed of 125 kt was also within acceptable limits, and the touchdown rate of -81 feet per minute (fpm) was excellent, signifying a smooth and controlled landing.
Despite the successful landing, there were some minor deviations from the ideal performance. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 9.0 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to factors such as wind or pilot error. Additionally, the total landing distance of 1,136 meters was 65% of the runway length, which is slightly above the optimal landing distance.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 21°C and a wind speed of 8 knots at 140°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 kt, while the headwind component was 7 kt, which helped to stabilize the aircraft's approach and landing.
During the rollout phase, the aircraft's alignment was slightly misaligned by 10.1 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to the pilot's attempt to correct for the initial touchdown position deviation. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the pilot demonstrating good control and judgment in navigating the aircraft to a safe touchdown.
