Departure
Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.
What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 1.8°, 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 2,996 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 328 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 4 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-900, then departed from runway 29 at SAEZ Minister Pistarini International Airport in Buenos Aires, Argentina. The takeoff distance was 2,192 meters, which is 67% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 149 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 28 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 300 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 4 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile west of the airport and reaching a maximum altitude of 36,999 feet above sea level. The climb phase lasted for 33 minutes and covered a distance of 257 nautical miles, with an increase in altitude of 35,984 feet.
Following the climb phase, the aircraft entered a level cruise, starting 13 miles southwest of SUMO Cerro Largo International Airport in Uruguay. This cruise phase lasted for 66 minutes and covered a distance of 538 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 19 miles north of Antonina in Brazil. The descent phase lasted for 16 minutes and covered a distance of 124 nautical miles, with a decrease in altitude of 24,971 feet.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, starting 6 miles south of SDNI Nascimento I Airport in Cotia, Brazil. This cruise phase lasted for only 5 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then began its final descent phase, starting 6 miles south of the same airport. The descent phase lasted for 6 minutes and covered a distance of 29 nautical miles, with a decrease in altitude of 8,143 feet.
The final approach to runway 10R at SBGR André Franco Montoro International Airport was made from the west, with a heading of 74.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,293 feet above ground level. The landing was made on the runway, which had a length of 2,996 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 139 knots.
The touchdown point was 122 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 134 knots and a touchdown rate of -187 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.6 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 26 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 290 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a tailwind of 3 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,021 meters, which is 34% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took less than 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 955 nautical miles, with a total flight time of 127 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 6,572 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-900 aircraft successfully landed at SBGR André Franco Montoro International Airport, with a final approach score of 99.7%. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the west, heading 74.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,293 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a precise landing on runway 10R, which has a length of 2,996 meters.
The threshold height was good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct altitude as it approached the runway. The threshold speed of 139 knots was also within the acceptable range, demonstrating the pilot's control over the aircraft's descent. The touchdown point was 122 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The touchdown speed of 134 knots was also good, and the touchdown rate of -187 feet per minute (fpm) was within the acceptable range, indicating a smooth and controlled landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 26°C and a wind speed of 4 knots from 290°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, and the tailwind component was 3 knots, which did not significantly impact the landing. The total landing distance of 1,021 meters was 34% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight.
The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot maintained control over the aircraft's direction and speed during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was executed smoothly and safely, with the pilot demonstrating excellent control and precision throughout the approach and landing phases.
