Slow the descent speed
See Enroute Descent
Below 10,000 ft you are typically limited to 250 kt indicated (a US rule that much of the world mirrors in some form, though not universally). This forces a deceleration around 10,000 ft whether the profile wants one or not, so plan for it rather than discovering it.

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 1,757 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 443 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft, an RJ100, taxiing from the parking area to the runway at SGME Aeropuerto Internacional Dr. Luis Maria Argaña. This process took approximately 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 01, with a takeoff distance of 1,693 meters, which accounted for 48% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 142 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 38 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 20 knots at a direction of 23 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 8 knots and a headwind of 18 knots. The aircraft climbed to an altitude of 1,827 feet above sea level, an increase of 246 feet from the initial altitude of 1,581 feet, in less than 1 minute and covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The enroute climb started over SGME Aeropuerto Internacional Dr. Luis Maria Argaña Mariscal Estigarribia, and the aircraft continued to climb to an altitude of 30,674 feet above sea level, an increase of 28,413 feet from the previous altitude of 2,261 feet. This climb took 25 minutes and covered a distance of 152 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a level cruise, lasting 69 minutes and covering 537 nautical miles, starting 3 miles east of SBQX Fazenda São Carlos Airstrip Campo Novo do Parecis.
The enroute descent started 9 miles south of SSPZ Fazenda Princesa do Sul Airport Japoré, and the aircraft descended from an altitude of 31,889 feet above sea level to 3,848 feet above sea level, a decrease of 28,041 feet, in 16 minutes and covering a distance of 89 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 17R at SBSP Congonhas Airport was made from the northwest, with a heading of 148.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,227 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 17R was successful, with a touchdown distance of 442 meters, which was 51% of the runway length. The touchdown speed was 108 knots, and the touchdown rate was excellent at -74 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.0 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 17 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 11 knots at a direction of 140 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 11 knots.
The total landing distance was 893 meters, and the runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing to the parking area from the runway took approximately 4 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 792 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 126 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 4,712 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The RJ100 aircraft successfully landed at SBSP Congonhas Airport, achieving a high score of 99.6%. The final approach was conducted from the northwest, heading 148.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,227 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft then landed on runway 17R, which has a length of 1,757 meters.
The threshold height was satisfactory, and the threshold speed was maintained at 120 knots, indicating a smooth and controlled approach. The touchdown distance of 442 meters was also within acceptable limits, and the touchdown speed of 108 knots was well within the recommended range. The touchdown rate of -74 feet per minute (fpm) was particularly impressive, demonstrating excellent control and precision during the landing.
However, there was a slight deviation in the runway touchdown position, with the aircraft touching down 4.0 meters off-centerline. This minor discrepancy may be attributed to factors such as wind or pilot error, but it did not significantly impact the overall performance of the landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 17°C and a wind speed of 11 knots from a direction of 140°. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 11 knots, which may have contributed to the slight deviation in the touchdown position.
The total landing distance of 893 meters was 51% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, suggesting that the aircraft was well under control during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was a success, with the RJ100 aircraft demonstrating excellent control and precision throughout the approach and landing phases. The minor deviations in the touchdown position and landing distance were not significant enough to impact the overall score, which remained at 99.6%.
