The flight in question was operated by an Airbus A320 aircraft, which began its enroute climb from a location 1 mile south east of Santos Dumont Airport in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The aircraft started its ascent from an altitude of 2,624 feet above sea level and climbed to 1,439 feet above sea level, a total increase of 1,185 feet in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, Rio Galeão – Tom Jobim International Airport, it began its final approach to runway 33 from the south east, heading at 301.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,409 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The aircraft maintained a steady course and speed, preparing for a smooth landing.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on runway 33, which has a length of 3,053 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 129 knots. The touchdown distance was within acceptable limits at 302 meters, and the touchdown speed was also good at 125 knots. However, the touchdown rate was slightly hard at -464 feet per minute.
Despite a good landing, there were some minor issues with the aircraft's alignment. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 14.0 meters from the centreline, and the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 13.8 meters from the centreline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were moderate, with a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 5 knots at 348 degrees.
The crosswind was minimal at 3 knots, while the headwind was 4 knots, which helped to stabilize the aircraft during landing. The total landing distance was 910 meters, which is approximately 30% of the runway length. The aircraft used a total of 57 kilograms of fuel during the flight, which covered a distance of 8 nautical miles and took approximately 3 minutes to complete.

The Airbus A320 successfully landed at SBGL Rio Galeão – Tom Jobim International Airport, with a score of 89.7%. The aircraft approached the runway from the south east, heading 301.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,409 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with good control, as indicated by the threshold height and speed, which were both within acceptable limits.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was 125 knots, which is considered good. However, the touchdown rate was hard, at -464 feet per minute (fpm), which may indicate a slightly aggressive approach. The touchdown distance of 302 meters was also within acceptable limits.
Despite the good overall performance, there were some minor issues with the landing. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 14.0 meters from the centreline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the approach path. Additionally, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 13.8 meters from the centreline, which may have been caused by a slight drift during the rollout.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 5 knots from 348°. The crosswind component was minimal, at 3 knots, while the headwind component was 4 knots. These conditions were likely favorable for the landing, and the aircraft's performance was generally good despite the minor issues.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, but there is room for improvement in terms of maintaining a more consistent approach path and reducing the touchdown rate.
