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 5.4 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Reduce power to re-establish a normal three degree glidepath on final.
What happened: On final at the four-mile point, the approach angle was steeper than the target glidepath.
Watch for: VSI against a stable descent rate matching the glidepath angle
See Arrival Final 4
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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: off the runway's 3° glideslope.
At the 500 ft gate: off the runway's 3° glideslope.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,148 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 398 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft, an Airbus A320, taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Humberto Ghizzo Bortoluzzi Regional Airport, taking approximately 1 minute to cover less than 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 05, with the aircraft taking off after covering 65% of the runway's length, which was 1,616 meters. The liftoff speed was 151 knots.
As the aircraft climbed, it encountered local weather conditions of 18°C temperature and a wind speed of 13 knots at 207 degrees. The crosswind was minimal at 1 knot, while the tailwind was 13 knots. The enroute climb started approximately 1 mile northeast of the airport, with the aircraft ascending from 1,138 feet above sea level to 39,981 feet, an increase of 38,843 feet in 25 minutes, covering a distance of 158 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 11 miles southwest of Guaratuba Airport, lasting 9 minutes and covering 64 nautical miles. The descent started 25 miles south of Apiai, with the aircraft descending from 40,088 feet to 4,071 feet, a decrease of 36,016 feet in 25 minutes, covering 147 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 33 at Viracopos International Airport was made from the southeast, with the aircraft heading 312.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,892 feet above ground level. The landing took place on a runway with a length of 3,148 meters, with a good threshold height. The threshold speed was also good at 134 knots, and the touchdown distance was 399 meters. The touchdown speed was 129 knots, which was good, but the touchdown rate was fair at -270 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 9.7 meters, and the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 9.4 meters from the centreline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 23°C temperature and a wind speed of 8 knots at 30 degrees, with a crosswind of 8 knots and a headwind of 1 knot.
The total landing distance was 1,102 meters, which was 35% of the runway's length. The taxiing to the parking area from the runway took approximately 8 minutes, covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 377 nautical miles, taking 71 minutes, and the aircraft used 2,515 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at SBKP Viracopos International Airport, achieving a score of 94.0%. The aircraft approached the runway from the southeast, heading 312.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,892 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot maintained a good threshold height, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 134 knots.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft performed well, with a touchdown distance of 399 meters, which is within the acceptable range. The touchdown speed was also good at 129 knots. However, the touchdown rate was only fair at -270 feet per minute (fpm), indicating that the aircraft could have been brought down to the ground more smoothly.
One notable issue during the landing was the misalignment of the runway touchdown position, which was off-centerline by 9.7 meters. This could have been due to various factors, including wind or pilot error. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 23°C and a wind speed of 8 knots at 30°.
The total landing distance was 1,102 meters, which is 35% of the runway length. This is a relatively short distance, indicating that the pilot was able to bring the aircraft to a stop quickly and efficiently. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 9.4 meters from the centerline, which could have been a result of the initial touchdown misalignment.
Overall, the landing was successful, but there were some minor issues that could be improved upon. The pilot's ability to maintain a good threshold height and touchdown speed was commendable, but the touchdown rate and runway alignment could be refined for future landings.
