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.
One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
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.
Touched down 813 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 18 at SBRP Leite Lopes Airport. The aircraft, an Airbus A320, accelerated down the runway and lifted off at a speed of 165 kt. The takeoff distance was 607 m, which accounted for 34% of the runway's length. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 28 °C and a gentle wind blowing at 3 kt from a direction of 120 °. The crosswind component was 2 kt, while the headwind component was also 2 kt.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead SBRP Leite Lopes Airport. The aircraft ascended from an initial altitude of 2,879 ft above sea level to a final altitude of 3,449 ft, a gain of 570 ft in just 2 minutes. During this climb, the aircraft covered a distance of 3 nm. The climb was a smooth and efficient one, with the aircraft making good progress in a short amount of time.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its final approach to runway 36 at SBRP Leite Lopes Airport. The approach was made from the south, with the aircraft heading 347.0 ° at a distance of 3 nm from the runway. At an altitude of 1,631 ft above ground level, the aircraft was in a good position to begin its descent. The local weather conditions at the time of the approach were characterized by a temperature of 26 °C and a gentle wind blowing at 4 kt from a direction of 120 °. The crosswind component was 2 kt, while the tailwind component was 3 kt.
The landing was a smooth one, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 106 kt. The touchdown point was 395 m beyond the touchdown zone, but the aircraft's alignment with the runway was perfect. The touchdown rate was also smooth, at -117 fpm. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was well under control during the landing. The total landing distance was 1,323 m, which accounted for 73% of the runway's length.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to a stop, with the runway rollout alignment being perfect. The total flight distance was 7 nm, and the flight took 4 minutes to complete. The aircraft used a total of 138 kg of fuel during the flight. Overall, the flight was a successful one, with the aircraft performing well in a variety of conditions.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at SBRP Leite Lopes Airport, achieving a high score of 94.6%. The aircraft approached the runway from the south, heading 347.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,631 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with precision, and the aircraft landed smoothly on runway 36, which has a length of 1,802 meters.
The threshold height was satisfactory, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 123 knots. This indicates that the pilot maintained a safe margin above the recommended speed, ensuring a stable approach. The touchdown point was 395 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively short distance. The touchdown speed of 106 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -117 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth, indicating a controlled descent.
The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 26°C and a gentle wind of 4 knots at 120°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, and the tailwind component was 3 knots. These conditions contributed to a stable and controlled approach. The total landing distance of 1,323 meters was 73% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. This indicates that the pilot executed a precise and controlled approach, resulting in a smooth touchdown and rollout.
The runway rollout alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's skill and control during the landing phase. Overall, the Airbus A320's landing at SBRP Leite Lopes Airport was a success, with a high score and a smooth, controlled approach and touchdown.
