Reduce your height at the threshold
Even a modest height error carries straight through to the touchdown. Geometry alone says that crossing the threshold 10 feet high on a 3° path moves your touchdown roughly 190 feet further down the runway before the flare adds anything.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with five 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 2,990 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 465 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 737-600, then departed from runway 28R at SBGR André Franco Montoro International Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,240 meters, which is 35% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 138 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 21 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 3 knots at 80 degrees. There was a slight tailwind of 2 knots. The aircraft began its enroute climb 1 mile west of the airport, rising from an altitude of 3,471 feet above sea level to 40,980 feet above sea level, an increase of 37,509 feet, in 14 minutes and covering 59 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 6 miles south of Paraisopolis, Brazil, and lasted for 77 minutes, covering a distance of 584 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent 3 miles west of Ibicarai, Brazil, descending from 41,011 feet above sea level to 1,336 feet above sea level, a decrease of 39,675 feet, in 27 minutes and covering 136 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 10 at SBSV Deputado Luiz Eduardo Magalhães International Airport was made from the west, heading 78.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,291 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 10, which has a length of 2,990 meters. The threshold height at 56 feet above ground level was slightly above the target, while the threshold speed was well above the target at 120 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 466 meters, while the touchdown speed at 116 knots was a little fast. The touchdown rate was good at -172 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 28 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 4 knots at 90 degrees. There was a slight headwind of 4 knots and a crosswind of 1 knot.
The total landing distance was 1,151 meters, which is 39% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was 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 787 nautical miles, taking 129 minutes, and the aircraft used 3,610 kilograms of fuel.
The Boeing 737-600 aircraft successfully landed at SBSV Deputado Luiz Eduardo Magalhães International Airport, achieving a high score of 99.6%. The final approach to runway 10 was conducted from the west, with a heading of 78.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,291 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft touched down on the runway, which has a length of 2,990 meters. The threshold height at 56 feet agl was slightly above the target, indicating a minor deviation from the ideal landing height. However, the threshold speed of 120 knots was significantly above the target, suggesting that the aircraft was traveling at a higher speed than necessary for a smooth landing.
Despite the slightly fast touchdown speed of 116 knots, the touchdown distance of 466 meters was considered good. The touchdown rate of -172 feet per minute (fpm) was also within acceptable limits, indicating a controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, demonstrating the pilot's skill and precision in navigating the aircraft to the runway.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 28°C and a gentle wind of 4 knots at 90°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 4 knots, which helped to stabilize the aircraft during the landing.
The total landing distance of 1,151 meters was 39% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score of 99.6%. The minor deviations from the target threshold height and speed were compensated by the good touchdown distance, rate, and alignment, making the landing a safe and controlled one.
