Monitor your taxi speed
See Departure Taxi
Twenty knots on a monitor produces the visual sensation of about ten. The advice to "taxi at a walking pace" cannot fix this, because your sense of walking pace is exactly the thing that's broken. Put the groundspeed readout in your scan and obey it for the next fifty flights, the way a student pilot leans on the airspeed indicator before learning to read attitude.

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 3,053 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 396 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 6 minutes and covered a distance of 6 nautical miles. The aircraft, an RJ85, then departed from runway 28R at SBGR André Franco Montoro International Airport in São Paulo, Brazil. The takeoff distance was 1,323 meters, which accounted for 37% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 136 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 22°C and winds of 5 knots at 130°. The crosswind was 4 knots, while the tailwind was 2 knots. After departing from the airport, the enroute climb started overhead SBGR André Franco Montoro International Airport, where the aircraft climbed from 3,490 feet above sea level to 21,032 feet above sea level, an increase of 17,543 feet in 13 minutes and covering a distance of 60 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 15 miles north of Caraguatatuba, São Paulo, Brazil, and lasted for 7 minutes, covering a distance of 52 nautical miles. As the aircraft continued its journey, the enroute descent started 8 miles southwest of SILI Ilha dos Porcos Grandes Airport Angra Dos Reis, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The descent from 20,633 feet above sea level to 1,283 feet above sea level, a decrease of 19,351 feet in 14 minutes and covering a distance of 66 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 15 at SBGL Rio Galeão – Tom Jobim International Airport was made from the northwest, heading 125.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,252 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 15 was successful, with a runway length of 3,053 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 118 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 397 meters, and the touchdown speed at 110 knots was also good. However, the touchdown rate was fair at -267 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the local weather conditions during landing were a temperature of 25°C and winds of 3 knots at 250°. The crosswind was 2 knots, while the tailwind was also 2 knots. The total landing distance was 1,066 meters, which accounted for 35% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect. After landing, the aircraft taxiing to the parking from the runway took 5 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 191 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 45 minutes. The aircraft used 1,527 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The aircraft in question, an RJ85, successfully landed at SBGL Rio Galeão – Tom Jobim International Airport, achieving a high score of 98.9%. The final approach was conducted from the northwest, heading 125.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,252 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on runway 15, which has a length of 3,053 meters. The threshold height was satisfactory, and the threshold speed was maintained at 118 knots, indicating a smooth and controlled approach. The touchdown distance of 397 meters was also within acceptable limits, and the touchdown speed of 110 knots was well-managed.
However, the touchdown rate of -267 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair, suggesting that the aircraft may have experienced a slight bounce or oscillation upon touchdown. Nevertheless, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 25°C and a gentle wind of 3 knots from 250°. The crosswind and tailwind components were minimal, at 2 knots each, which further contributed to a smooth landing.
The total landing distance of 1,066 meters was 35% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. This suggests that the aircraft was able to stop quickly and efficiently after touchdown. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, and the aircraft was able to achieve a high score despite a slightly suboptimal touchdown rate.
