Improve the rollout
Ground control varies with speed, full authority at walking pace, progressively reducing as groundspeed rises. The aircraft becomes twitchy at any speed, every small pedal input swings the nose, which can encourage large-amplitude leg inputs that no real aircraft would accept.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
Side view — the last 1,317 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,317 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 441 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The Airbus A320 then departed from runway 17R at SBSP Congonhas Airport in São Paulo, Brazil. The takeoff distance was 1,322 meters, which is 75% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 146 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were a temperature of 23°C, with a wind speed of 13 knots coming from a direction of 130°. This resulted in a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 12 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile southeast of SBSP Congonhas Airport and rising from an altitude of 3,658 feet above sea level to 25,987 feet above sea level, an increase of 22,329 feet in 12 minutes. During this climb, the aircraft covered a distance of 67 nautical miles.
After reaching the desired cruising altitude, the aircraft entered a level cruise, starting 3 miles north of Caraguatatuba, São Paulo, Brazil. This phase of the flight lasted 3 minutes and covered 24 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 6 miles east of Ubatuba, São Paulo, Brazil. The descent from 25,990 feet above sea level to 6,091 feet above sea level, a decrease of 19,899 feet in 18 minutes, covered a distance of 88 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting 12 miles south of SBJR Jacarepaguá - Roberto Marinho Airport in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. This phase of the flight lasted 2 minutes and covered 7 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 12 miles south of RB21 Ipanema Lake in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The descent from 5,668 feet above sea level to 382 feet above sea level, a decrease of 5,286 feet in 9 minutes, covered a distance of 19 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 20L at SBRJ Santos Dumont Airport in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, was made from the north, heading 173.0° at 1 nautical mile and 371 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 20L was successful, with a runway length of 1,317 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 130 knots. The touchdown distance was 442 meters, and the touchdown speed was 125 knots, both of which were good. However, the touchdown rate was fair at -231 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.9 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 26°C, with a wind speed of 5 knots coming from a direction of 160°. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 5 knots. The total landing distance was 932 meters, which is 71% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
After landing, the aircraft taxiied to the parking area, a process that took 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 209 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 52 minutes. The aircraft used 1,983 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at SBRJ Santos Dumont Airport, achieving a high score of 96.9%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north, heading 173.0° at 1 nautical mile and 371 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot maintained a good threshold height, which is a critical aspect of a safe landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was within the acceptable range, at 125 knots, and the touchdown distance was also satisfactory at 442 meters. However, the touchdown rate was slightly below par at -231 feet per minute (fpm), which could be considered fair. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.9 meters from the centerline, but this did not seem to have a significant impact on the overall landing performance.
The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 26°C and a gentle wind of 5 knots at 160°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 5 knots, which helped to stabilize the aircraft during the landing. The total landing distance was 932 meters, which is 71% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft was able to stop within a reasonable distance.
One of the notable aspects of this landing was the excellent runway rollout alignment, which was described as very good. This suggests that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase, ensuring a smooth and stable transition from the landing to the taxi phase. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft touching down safely and coming to a stop within a reasonable distance.
