Flight Score
Departure
Lower the nose and add power to raise climb speed to 170 kt.
What happened: Climb speed was 141 kt against a target of 170 kt, running 29 kt slow through the climb.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator against the climb target of 170 kt.
Arrival
Hold the approach aim point and let the aircraft settle onto 457 m instead of holding it off in the flare.
What happened: Touchdown point came 79 m past the target, landing at 536 m against the 457 m aim point, with threshold speed and the flare both within limits.
Watch for: Touchdown distance marker: 457 m from the threshold.
Between four hundred and a thousand feet you're heavy, close to the ground and still carrying flap, and speed is the margin holding all three apart. Slow here doesn't feel like anything — the aeroplane climbs, the nose is up, nothing complains — right up until a turn, a gust or a bank tightens the wing's job and the margin is already gone. The fix is rarely "fly faster", it's lowering the nose a degree and letting the speed build before the next thing you do. Pitch buys altitude, speed buys options, and at this height options are the scarcer of the two.

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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,608 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,608 m of the 2,996 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 536 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from SBCT Afonso Pena Airport in Curitiba, Brazil, the Airbus A320 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took approximately 10 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. With a takeoff roll on runway 33, the aircraft accelerated to a liftoff speed of 154 knots, utilizing 62% of the 1,385-meter runway. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 18°C, with a negligible wind of 1 knot from 269°.
As the aircraft climbed to cruising altitude, it began its enroute climb phase, departing from the airport and ascending to 33,011 feet above sea level. This climb phase covered a distance of 95 nautical miles and took 14 minutes to complete, resulting in an increase of 29,094 feet. Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, maintaining an altitude of 33,011 feet for 5 minutes and covering 41 nautical miles. The enroute descent phase commenced 6 miles west of Pilar do Sul, with the aircraft descending from 33,004 feet to 3,747 feet above sea level, a decrease of 29,258 feet, in 16 minutes and covering 93 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 10R at SBGR André Franco Montoro International Airport was initiated from the west, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 74.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,289 feet above ground level. The landing was executed with a threshold speed slightly above the target at 134 knots, and the touchdown point was 123 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed of 126 knots was a little fast, but the touchdown rate was smooth at -138 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.1 meters from the centerline. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took 6 minutes and covered 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 236 nautical miles, with a total fuel consumption of 2,084 kilograms and a flight duration of 51 minutes.
The aircraft touched down on runway 10R at SBGR André Franco Montoro International Airport, a 2,996-meter long runway, after a final approach from the west. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height achieved. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 134 knots, indicating a slight deviation from the optimal landing speed.
The touchdown point was 123 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed of 126 knots was a little fast. Nevertheless, the touchdown rate was smooth at -138 feet per minute, demonstrating good control and stability during the landing. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.1 meters from the centreline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the approach or during the landing roll.
The total landing distance of 1,531 meters was 51% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll. The runway rollout alignment was very good, with the aircraft maintaining a consistent path along the centreline. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15°C and a light wind of 1 knot at 270°, contributed to a stable and predictable landing environment. Overall, the landing performance was satisfactory, with a score of 98.8%.
