Work on the flare
Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without it.

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 3,286 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 225 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 6 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-700, then departed from runway 32 at SBGO Santa Genoveva Airport in Goiânia, Brazil. The takeoff distance was 1,537 meters, which accounted for 71% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 150 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 25°C, with a wind speed of 4 knots at 350°. The crosswind was 3 knots, while the headwind was also 3 knots. As the aircraft took off, it began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile northwest of SBGO Santa Genoveva Airport. The climb was from an altitude of 3,326 feet above sea level to 7,906 feet, an increase of 4,580 feet in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 9 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 2 miles northeast of SWOA Arnapar Airport in Goianira, Brazil, and lasted for 3 minutes, covering a distance of 16 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute climb, this time starting 4 miles west of SNLL Brennand Heliport in Ipojuca, Brazil. The climb was from 8,185 feet to 17,093 feet, an increase of 8,908 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 19 nautical miles.
As the aircraft continued its journey, it began its enroute descent, starting 8 miles south of Abadiania, Brazil. The descent was from 17,305 feet to 5,879 feet, a decrease of 11,426 feet in 9 minutes, covering a distance of 40 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another enroute level cruise, starting 8 miles east of SWRM Santo Antônio do Descoberto Airport in Santo Antônio do Descoberto, Brazil. This cruise lasted for 4 minutes, covering a distance of 11 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 11R at SBBR Presidente Juscelino Kubitschek International Airport was made from the west, heading 87.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,309 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 11R, which had a length of 3,286 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 122 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 223 meters, and the touchdown speed was 118 knots, which was also good. However, the touchdown rate was heavy at -685 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 21°C, with a wind speed of 4 knots at 210°. The crosswind was 3 knots, while the tailwind was 2 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,114 meters, which accounted for 34% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 103 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 34 minutes. The aircraft used 1,328 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-700 aircraft successfully landed at SBBR Presidente Juscelino Kubitschek International Airport, with a final approach score of 94.1%. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the west, heading 87.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,309 feet above ground level (agl).
The landing was executed on runway 11R, which has a length of 3,286 meters. The threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct height as it approached the runway. However, the threshold speed was slightly below the target speed of 122 knots, which may have been due to the aircraft's descent rate or the pilot's decision to slow down before touchdown.
The touchdown distance was good, measuring 223 meters, and the touchdown speed was also within acceptable limits at 118 knots. However, the touchdown rate was reported as heavy, at -685 feet per minute (fpm), which may indicate that the aircraft touched down with a higher than desired rate of descent. Despite this, 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 the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 21°C and a wind speed of 4 knots from 210°. The crosswind component was minimal at 3 knots, and the tailwind component was 2 knots, which should not have had a significant impact on the landing.
The total landing distance was 1,114 meters, which is 34% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was able to stop quickly after touchdown. The runway rollout alignment was also reported as very good, indicating that the aircraft was aligned with the runway centerline during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft touching down safely and coming to a stop within a short distance. However, the heavy touchdown rate may be an area for improvement, and the pilots may need to adjust their descent rate or touchdown configuration to achieve a smoother touchdown.
