Departure
Roll the wings level with aileron and hold bank within limits as you establish the climb.
What happened: Bank increased to 2.4° during the initial climb, and wings stayed over-banked at 15° into the next climb segment.
Watch for: Attitude indicator bank angle, aiming to keep it near wings-level
Below a thousand feet the aeroplane is slow, heavy and close to the ground. A steep turn loses lift, raises the stall speed and flattens the climb just when the gradient matters most. A normal turn on course is a rate one — fifteen degrees or so, twenty-five at the outside, this penalty is to acknowledge when a turn has stopped being a turn and become a manoeuvre.

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 2,266 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 385 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 9 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The Airbus A320 then departed from runway 20L at Santos Dumont Airport, with a takeoff distance of 986 meters, which was 75% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 137 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 28 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 10 knots coming from a direction of 170 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 10 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile south east of Rio de Janeiro, and climbed from an altitude of 755 feet above sea level to 32,010 feet above sea level, an increase of 31,255 feet, in 20 minutes and covering 117 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 61 miles south east of Ilhabela, and lasted for 58 minutes, covering 416 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 11 miles south of SSWT Cambará Airport, and descended from 32,017 feet above sea level to 2,699 feet above sea level, a decrease of 29,318 feet, in 19 minutes and covering 102 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 3 miles north of SIXE Aeroclube de Eldorado do Sul Airport, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering 5 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 3 miles west of SSJC Fazenda do Jacuí Airport, and descended from 2,709 feet above sea level to 1,309 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,400 feet, in 2 minutes and covering 5 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 11 at SBPA Salgado Filho International Airport was made from the west, with a heading of 91.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,291 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 11, which had a length of 2,266 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 142 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 386 meters, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 137 knots. The touchdown rate was smooth at -132 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 26 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 19 knots coming from a direction of 110 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 6 knots and a headwind of 18 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,211 meters, which was 53% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area from the runway, a process that took 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 652 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 115 minutes. The aircraft used 4,617 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at Salgado Filho International Airport, achieving a high score of 99.9%. The aircraft approached the runway from the west, heading 91.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,291 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with precision, and the aircraft landed smoothly on runway 11, which has a length of 2,266 meters.
The threshold height was satisfactory, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 142 knots. However, the touchdown distance was good, measuring 386 meters. The touchdown speed of 137 knots was a bit faster than desired, but the touchdown rate was smooth at -132 feet per minute (fpm). The runway touchdown alignment was excellent, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 26°C and a wind speed of 19 knots from 110°. The crosswind component was minimal at 6 knots, while the headwind component was 18 knots. These conditions contributed to a smooth landing.
The total landing distance was 1,211 meters, which is 53% of the runway length. This indicates that the aircraft was able to stop within a reasonable distance after touchdown. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, demonstrating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was executed with precision and control, and the aircraft was able to stop safely within the designated runway area. The high score achieved by the Airbus A320 is a testament to the skill and expertise of the pilots involved in the landing.
