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 2,500 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 230 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 36 at SLAL Alcantarí Airport. The Boeing 737-700 took off with a takeoff distance of 2,083 meters, which was 58% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 138 knots. At the time of departure, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 22 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 110 degrees. The crosswind component was 3 knots, while the tailwind component was 2 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of SLAL Alcantarí Airport, it began its enroute climb 2 miles north of the airport. The climb started from an altitude of 11,340 feet above sea level and continued to an altitude of 38,498 feet above sea level, an increase of 27,158 feet in 38 minutes. During this phase, the aircraft covered a distance of 284 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise phase began 28 miles south of SLCW Concepcion Airport in Concepcion, Bolivia. This phase lasted for 96 minutes and covered a distance of 752 nautical miles. The aircraft maintained a steady altitude of 38,498 feet above sea level during this phase.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its enroute descent 26 miles southeast of SJBR Fazenda Santa Luzia Airport in Corumbá, Brazil. The descent started from an altitude of 38,632 feet above sea level and continued to an altitude of 2,259 feet above sea level, a decrease of 36,372 feet in 21 minutes. During this phase, the aircraft covered a distance of 135 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 14 at SBPJ Brigadeiro Lysias Rodrigues Airport was made from the northwest, heading 124.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,504 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown speed of 121 knots and a touchdown rate of -340 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 25 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 49 degrees.
The total landing distance was 712 meters, which was 28% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area from the runway in 1 minute, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 1,178 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 159 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 6,832 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-700 aircraft successfully landed at SBPJ Brigadeiro Lysias Rodrigues Airport, showcasing a high level of precision and control. The final approach to runway 14 was initiated from the north-west, with the aircraft heading at 124.0° and maintaining a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. At an altitude of 1,504 feet above ground level (agl), the aircraft demonstrated a high degree of situational awareness and control.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 127 knots, which was within the acceptable threshold speed range. The touchdown distance of 229 meters was also well within the expected parameters, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown speed of 121 knots was also satisfactory, and the firm touchdown rate of -340 feet per minute (fpm) suggested a stable and controlled landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 25°C and a gentle wind of 2 knots at 49°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, while the headwind component was 1 knot. These conditions contributed to a stable and predictable landing environment.
The total landing distance of 712 meters was 28% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. This suggests that the pilots were able to maintain a high degree of control and precision throughout the landing process. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain its direction and speed after touchdown.
Overall, the landing of the Boeing 737-700 at SBPJ Brigadeiro Lysias Rodrigues Airport was a textbook example of precision and control, with the aircraft demonstrating a high level of situational awareness and control throughout the final approach and landing phases.
