Improve the takeoff
The rudder input is a changing profile through the roll rather than one that is held. So the demand on your right foot starts large at power application, eases as speed builds and the rudder gains authority, then jumps again at rotation.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: five 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.
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,401 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 568 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with taxiing from the parking area to the runway, which took 7 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a FFX P180, then departed from runway 24 at SWPI Parintins Airport in Parintins, Amazonas, Brazil. The takeoff distance was 773 meters, which accounted for 43% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 126 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 28 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 3 knots at 119 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a tailwind of 1 knot. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 2 miles southwest of SWPI Parintins Airport. The climb took 8 minutes and covered 28 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from 1,076 feet above sea level to 15,577 feet above sea level, an increase of 14,501 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 23 miles east of Parintins, Amazonas, Brazil. This phase lasted 14 minutes and covered 69 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 20 miles northwest of SNEL Belterra Airport in Belterra, Para, Brazil. The descent took 12 minutes and covered 28 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from 15,567 feet above sea level to 1,824 feet above sea level, a decrease of 13,744 feet.
The final approach to runway 28 at SBSN Santarém - Maestro Wilson Fonseca International Airport was made from the east, heading 260.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,635 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown point 142 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 102 knots, which was good, and the touchdown rate was perfect at -46 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.7 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 28 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 3 knots at 81 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 0 knots and a tailwind of 3 knots. The total landing distance was 1,189 meters, which accounted for 50% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. Taxiing to the parking area from the runway took 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 132 nautical miles, and the flight used 256 kilograms of fuel.
The aircraft, identified as FFX P180 03 01, successfully landed at SBSN Santarém - Maestro Wilson Fonseca International Airport, achieving a score of 98.1%. The final approach to runway 28 was initiated from the east, with a heading of 260.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,635 feet above ground level.
The aircraft's approach and landing performance were satisfactory, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 115 knots. The touchdown point was located 142 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is slightly beyond the recommended area. However, the touchdown speed of 102 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -46 feet per minute was perfect, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 28°C and a wind speed of 3 knots from a direction of 81°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind component and a slight tailwind of 3 knots. The runway length of 2,401 meters was sufficient to accommodate the aircraft's landing distance, which was 1,189 meters, or 50% of the runway.
The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively, allowing for a controlled deceleration. The only minor issue noted was a slight misalignment of the runway touchdown position by 3.7 meters from the centerline. Overall, the landing was successful, and the aircraft's performance was satisfactory.
