This climb covered a distance of 6 nautical miles.

As the aircraft approached the Rio Galeão – Tom Jobim International Airport, it began its final approach to runway 33 from the southeast, heading at 299.0 degrees. At this point, the aircraft was 3 nautical miles from the runway and at an altitude of 1,503 feet above ground level.

The landing on runway 33 was successful, with the threshold height being above the target but the threshold speed being good at 136 knots. The touchdown point was 125 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 121 knots, which was considered good. The touchdown rate was smooth at -137 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 15 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 5 knots at 348 degrees. The crosswind was 3 knots, and the headwind was also 3 knots. The total landing distance was 1,177 meters, which accounted for 39% of the runway length.

After landing, the aircraft experienced a slight misalignment during the rollout, deviating from the centerline by 8.0 meters. Despite this, the overall performance of the flight was satisfactory.

Takeoff on runway at in the Airbus A320

Landing on runway 33 at SBGL Rio Galeão – Tom Jobim International Airport in the Airbus A320

Landing Score 92.07 %

Landing Summary

The Airbus A320 successfully landed at SBGL Rio Galeão – Tom Jobim International Airport, achieving a score of 92.1%. The aircraft approached the runway from the south east, heading 299.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,503 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed smoothly, with the aircraft landing on runway 33, which has a length of 3,053 meters.

Upon landing, the threshold height was found to be above the target, but the threshold speed was satisfactory at 136 knots. The touchdown point was 125 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 121 knots, which is considered good. The touchdown rate was also smooth, at -137 feet per minute (fpm). The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 5 knots from 348°. The crosswind and headwind components were both 3 knots, which is relatively minimal. These conditions likely contributed to the smooth landing.

However, the total landing distance was 1,177 meters, which is 39% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was able to touch down and come to a stop quickly. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 8.0 meters from the centerline, which is a minor deviation. Overall, the landing was successful, and the aircraft was able to come to a stop safely and efficiently.
