See Arrival Final 2
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: seven 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.
At the 500 ft gate: no landing flap set and speed below the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,684 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,684 m of the 2,530 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 658 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 13 at SBFZ Pinto Martins International Airport, where the aircraft, an Airbus A321, took off with a takeoff distance of 800 meters, which is 32% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 163 knots. At the time of departure, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 34 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 19 knots at a direction of 90 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 5 knots and a headwind of 19 knots.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb 1 mile east of the airport, rising from an altitude of 1,044 feet above sea level to 1,710 feet above sea level, an increase of 666 feet in just 1 minute, while covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The climb was a smooth and efficient one, allowing the aircraft to quickly gain altitude and begin its journey.
After reaching its cruising altitude, the aircraft began its enroute descent 2 miles south east of Fortaleza, where it descended from 1,718 feet above sea level to 1,012 feet above sea level, a decrease of 706 feet in 2 minutes, while covering a distance of 4 nautical miles. The descent was also a smooth and controlled one, allowing the aircraft to gradually lose altitude and prepare for its final approach.
The final approach to runway 13 at SBFZ Pinto Martins International Airport was made from the west, with the aircraft heading 99.0 degrees at a distance of 2 nautical miles and an altitude of 917 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 13, which has a length of 2,530 meters, and the threshold height was good. The threshold speed was also good at 148 knots.
The touchdown point was 239 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 131 knots, which was good. The touchdown rate was also good at -192 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 31 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 19 knots at a direction of 100 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 19 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,600 meters, which is 63% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the aircraft was well under control during the landing. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area from the runway in less than 1 minute, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 10 nautical miles, and the flight took 6 minutes to complete. The aircraft used a total of 288 kilograms of fuel during the flight. Overall, the flight was a smooth and efficient one, with the aircraft performing well throughout the various phases of flight.
The Airbus A321 successfully landed at SBFZ Pinto Martins International Airport, achieving a high score of 95.4%. The aircraft approached the runway from the west, heading 99.0° at 2 nautical miles and 917 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with precision, and the aircraft landed smoothly on runway 13, which has a length of 2,530 meters.
The threshold height was good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct altitude as it approached the runway. The threshold speed of 148 knots was also within the acceptable range, demonstrating the pilot's skill in managing the aircraft's speed during the landing phase. The touchdown point was 239 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation but still within the acceptable limits.
The touchdown speed of 131 knots was good, and the touchdown rate of -192 feet per minute (fpm) was also within the acceptable range. This indicates that the aircraft touched down smoothly and with minimal impact, reducing the risk of damage to the aircraft and the runway. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, suggesting that the aircraft was aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 31°C and a wind speed of 19 knots at 100°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, while the headwind component was 19 knots, which helped to reduce the aircraft's ground speed and make the landing more manageable.
The total landing distance of 1,600 meters was 63% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. This suggests that the pilot executed a smooth and controlled landing, minimizing the aircraft's deceleration and roll-out distance. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the aircraft remained aligned with the runway centerline during the roll-out phase.
Overall, the landing was executed with precision and skill, and the aircraft's performance was within the acceptable limits. The high score of 95.4% reflects the pilot's expertise and the aircraft's capabilities, demonstrating a high level of proficiency in landing the Airbus A321 at SBFZ Pinto Martins International Airport.
