Improve the rollout
The one change that would have gained the most on this flight, and the guide passage for it.
Ground control varies with speed, full authority at walking pace, progressively reducing as groundspeed rises. The aircraft becomes twitchy at any speed, every small pedal input swings the nose, which can encourage large-amplitude leg inputs that no real aircraft would accept.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,006 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 324 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a short taxiing period from the parking area to the runway, taking approximately 1 minute and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-700, then departed from runway 12 at SBAR Aracaju - Santa Maria International Airport. The takeoff distance was 927 meters, which accounted for 42% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 144 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 31 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 8 knots at 110 degrees.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead SBAR Aracaju - Santa Maria International Airport. The climb took 26 minutes to reach a maximum altitude of 38,624 feet above sea level, an increase of 37,576 feet from the initial altitude of 1,049 feet. During this period, the aircraft covered a distance of 166 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 143 minutes and covered a distance of 1,884 nautical miles. This phase of the flight took place 11 miles east of Maragogi, Brazil.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its enroute descent, which started 40 miles south of Guiglo, Ivory Coast. The descent took 11 minutes to reach a maximum altitude of 1,937 feet above sea level, a decrease of 36,979 feet from the initial altitude of 38,916 feet. During this period, the aircraft covered a distance of 125 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 05 at DIYO Yamoussoukro Airport was made from the southwest, with a heading of 42.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,254 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown distance of 325 meters, which was 26% of the runway length. The touchdown speed was 114 knots, and the touchdown rate was -193 feet per minute, both of which were considered good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 34 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 2 knots at 55 degrees. The crosswind was negligible, and the headwind was 2 knots. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 6.2 meters.
Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking less than 1 minute and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 2,180 nautical miles, and the total flight time was 186 minutes. The aircraft used 11,191 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-700 aircraft successfully landed at DIYO Yamoussoukro Airport, achieving a high score of 97.8%. The final approach to runway 05 was conducted from the southwest, with a heading of 42.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,254 feet above ground level.
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 120 knots, which was slightly below the target threshold speed. However, the touchdown distance of 325 meters was considered good, and the touchdown speed of 114 knots was also within acceptable limits. The touchdown rate of -193 feet per minute was also satisfactory, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 6.2 meters, but this did not appear to have any significant impact on the overall landing performance. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 34°C and a light wind of 2 knots from a direction of 55°. The crosswind component was negligible, and the aircraft was able to land with a headwind of 2 knots.
The total landing distance of 773 meters was relatively short, accounting for only 26% of the runway length. This suggests that the aircraft was able to land and stop quickly, with a good rollout alignment. The runway rollout alignment was indeed very good, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain a stable and controlled path after touchdown.
Overall, the landing of the Boeing 737-700 at DIYO Yamoussoukro Airport was a successful one, with a high score and good performance in all areas. The aircraft was able to land safely and efficiently, despite the slightly misaligned touchdown position and slightly below-target threshold speed.
