Flight Score
Departure
Use smoother, smaller aileron inputs to keep the wings level and hold bank angle near wings-level during the climb.
What happened: During the climb, bank angle rose to 6.5°, more roll than the climb out called for.
Watch for: Attitude indicator: wings level during the climb
A good takeoff has a defined shape. It also has a defined end. For an airliner that's thrust reduction and acceleration, commonly somewhere around 1,000 to 1,500 ft above the airfield depending on the operator, while for a light aircraft it's established at Vy with the flaps on schedule. Most simmers have no defined end to their takeoff, which is exactly why it never gets judged.

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 2,166 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 404 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 approximately 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-700, then departed from runway 20L at Santos Dumont Airport in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The takeoff distance was 918 meters, which was 70% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 142 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 25°C, with a wind speed of 6 knots at 120°. The crosswind component was 5 knots, while the headwind component was 3 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, which started overhead the airport and took it to an altitude of 38,096 feet above sea level. This climb phase covered a distance of 69 nautical miles and took 16 minutes to complete.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 47 minutes and covered a distance of 329 nautical miles. The cruise phase started approximately 1 mile southwest of Juiz de Fora, Brazil. The aircraft then began its descent, which started 4 miles northeast of Paracatu Airport in Minas Gerais, Brazil. This descent phase took the aircraft from an altitude of 38,065 feet to 7,653 feet above sea level, covering a distance of 90 nautical miles in 14 minutes.
The flight then continued with a series of enroute climbs, descents, and level cruises, navigating through various airports and airspaces in Brazil. These phases included a climb from 4,008 feet to 7,023 feet above sea level, a descent from 6,670 feet to 6,071 feet above sea level, and a level cruise from 11 miles west of Brasília International Airport to 5 miles west of the same airport.
The final approach to runway 14 at Santa Genoveva Airport in Goiânia, Brazil, was made from the northwest, with a heading of 120.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,182 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown distance of 406 meters and a touchdown speed of 129 knots. The touchdown rate was excellent at -76 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 30°C, with a wind speed of 7 knots at 130°. The crosswind component was 1 knot, while the headwind component was 7 knots. The total landing distance was 1,102 meters, which was 51% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took approximately 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 649 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 135 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 4,964 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-700 aircraft successfully landed at SBGO Santa Genoveva Airport, achieving a perfect score of 100.0%. The final approach to runway 14 was initiated from the north-west, with a heading of 120.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,182 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft's approach and landing performance were impressive, with a good threshold height and a slightly above-target threshold speed of 134 knots. The touchdown distance of 406 meters was also within acceptable limits, indicating a well-executed landing. However, the touchdown speed of 129 knots was slightly faster than the target, which may have been due to the aircraft's approach speed being slightly higher than intended.
The landing rate of -76 feet per minute (fpm) was excellent, demonstrating the pilot's skill and control during the landing phase. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 30°C and a wind speed of 7 knots from a direction of 130°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 7 knots, which helped to reduce the aircraft's ground speed and improve the landing performance.
The total landing distance of 1,102 meters was 51% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft was able to stop within a reasonable distance after touchdown. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing of the Boeing 737-700 at SBGO Santa Genoveva Airport was a textbook example of a well-executed landing, with the aircraft achieving a perfect score of 100.0%. The pilot's skill and control, combined with favorable weather conditions, contributed to a safe and successful landing.
