Departure
Arrival
This flight began with an Airbus A320 taking off from Santos Dumont Airport in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and climbing to a higher altitude. The aircraft started its ascent from 2,461 feet above sea level and reached 1,110 feet above sea level in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles. This rapid climb demonstrates the aircraft's ability to efficiently gain altitude.
As the flight progressed, the aircraft began its final approach to runway 33 at Rio Galeão – Tom Jobim International Airport. The approach was made from the southeast, with the aircraft heading 305.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,082 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The approach was likely a critical phase of the flight, requiring precise control and navigation to ensure a safe landing.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on runway 33, which has a length of 3,053 meters. The threshold height at 107 feet above ground level was found to be excessively high, indicating that the aircraft may have been slightly above the recommended landing height. However, the threshold speed of 129 knots was within the acceptable range. The touchdown point was 175 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed of 122 knots was also within the acceptable range.
Despite the relatively good touchdown speed, the touchdown rate was found to be very hard, with a rate of -523 feet per minute. This suggests that the aircraft may have experienced a significant deceleration upon touchdown, which could have put additional stress on the landing gear and other aircraft systems. Additionally, the runway touchdown position was found to be slightly misaligned from the centerline by 4.9 meters.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 5 knots from 348 degrees. The crosswind component was 3 knots, while the headwind component was 4 knots. These conditions may have contributed to the slightly misaligned touchdown position.
The total landing distance was 1,107 meters, which is equivalent to 36% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was able to decelerate quickly and efficiently after touchdown. The runway rollout alignment was found to be very good, suggesting that the aircraft was able to maintain a stable and controlled descent after touchdown.
In terms of overall performance, the flight was relatively short, covering a total distance of 7 nautical miles in 3 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 59 kilograms of fuel during the flight, which is a relatively low amount considering the short distance traveled. Overall, the flight appears to have been executed safely and efficiently, with the aircraft performing well in terms of climb, approach, and landing.

The Airbus A320 has successfully landed at SBGL Rio Galeão – Tom Jobim International Airport, but with some notable deviations from the ideal landing parameters. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the southeast, heading 305.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,082 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with a good threshold speed of 129 knots, which is within the acceptable range.
However, the threshold height at 107 feet agl was excessively over the target, indicating that the aircraft was higher than desired at the point of touchdown. This could be attributed to a slight miscalculation in the approach or a minor deviation in the aircraft's descent rate. Despite this, the touchdown speed of 122 knots was within the acceptable range, indicating that the pilot had maintained control of the aircraft's speed during the landing.
The touchdown point was 175 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The touchdown rate, however, was very hard at -523 feet per minute (fpm), which is significantly higher than the ideal rate. This could be a concern, as a hard touchdown can put excessive stress on the aircraft's landing gear and potentially lead to damage.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.9 meters from the centerline, which is a minor deviation. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a gentle wind of 5 knots at 348°. The crosswind was minimal at 3 knots, and the headwind was 4 knots, which helped to stabilize the aircraft during the landing.
The total landing distance was 1,107 meters, which is 36% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the pilot had maintained control of the aircraft's speed and descent rate during the landing. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot had successfully aligned the aircraft with the runway centerline after touchdown.
Overall, while the landing was not perfect, the pilot had maintained control of the aircraft throughout the approach and landing, and the deviations from the ideal parameters were relatively minor. With some adjustments to the approach and landing technique, the pilot can improve the overall quality of the landing.
