Slow down before tight turns
See Arrival Taxi
Twenty knots on a monitor produces the visual sensation of about ten. The advice to "taxi at a walking pace" cannot fix this, because your sense of walking pace is exactly the thing that's broken. Put the groundspeed readout in your scan and obey it for the next fifty flights, the way a student pilot leans on the airspeed indicator before learning to read attitude.

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 1,825 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,825 m of the 2,996 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 504 m past the threshold — beyond 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 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-700, then departed from runway 12 at SBAR Aracaju - Santa Maria International Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,164 meters, which accounted for 53% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 158 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of 32 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 5 knots at 90 degrees.
As the aircraft climbed, it started its enroute climb 1 mile east of SBAR Aracaju - Santa Maria International Airport, rising from an altitude of 1,032 feet above sea level to 37,439 feet above sea level, an increase of 36,407 feet in 15 minutes, covering a distance of 90 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise then began 12 miles south of SIZA Parque Manoelito Argolo Airport, lasting 105 minutes and covering 714 nautical miles.
The enroute descent started 4 miles west of Eloi Mendes Airport, where the aircraft descended from 38,214 feet above sea level to 3,744 feet above sea level, a decrease of 34,470 feet in 26 minutes, covering a distance of 123 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 10R at SBGR André Franco Montoro International Airport was made from the west, heading 74.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,290 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 10R was successful, with a touchdown point 95 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was slightly above the target at 132 knots, but the touchdown rate was excellent at -59 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was also perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 26 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 2 knots at 70 degrees.
The total landing distance was 1,751 meters, which accounted for 58% of the runway. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took approximately 5 minutes and covered 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 934 nautical miles, taking a total of 159 minutes, and the aircraft used 5,131 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-700 aircraft successfully landed at SBGR André Franco Montoro International Airport, achieving a score of 99.5%. The final approach to runway 10R was conducted from the west, with a heading of 74.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,290 feet above ground level.
The aircraft touched down on the runway, with the threshold height being satisfactory. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 132 knots. The touchdown point was located 95 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which may indicate a slight deviation from the intended landing spot. The touchdown speed of 126 knots was a bit faster than desired, but the touchdown rate of -59 feet per minute was excellent, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 26°C and a gentle wind of 2 knots from a direction of 70°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind component and a slight headwind of 2 knots. The runway length of 2,996 meters was sufficient to accommodate the aircraft's landing distance, which was 1,751 meters, or 58% of the runway.
The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft maintained its direction and speed during the post-landing phase. Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score and demonstrating good control and precision during the approach and touchdown phases.
