Keep the wings level on final
See Arrival Final 1
Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: seven 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.
At the 500 ft gate: off the centreline and speed below the reference speed.

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 352 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft, an Airbus A319, taxiing from the parking area to the runway at SBSP Congonhas Airport in São Paulo, Brazil. This process took approximately 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 17R, with a takeoff distance of 1,033 meters, which accounted for 59% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 144 knots.
As the aircraft climbed, it encountered local weather conditions of 24°C temperature and a wind speed of 14 knots at 160°. The crosswind was 3 knots, while the headwind was 14 knots. The enroute climb started approximately 1 mile southeast of SBSP Congonhas Airport and continued for 11 minutes, covering a distance of 66 nautical miles. The aircraft climbed from an initial altitude of 3,741 feet above sea level to a maximum altitude of 25,908 feet, an increase of 22,167 feet.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 3 miles north of Caraguatatuba, São Paulo, Brazil. This phase lasted for 3 minutes and covered a distance of 25 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, which started 6 miles east of Ubatuba, São Paulo, Brazil. The descent phase lasted for 23 minutes, covering a distance of 105 nautical miles, and resulted in a decrease of 25,435 feet in altitude, from 25,906 feet to 471 feet above sea level.
The final approach to runway 20L at SBRJ Santos Dumont Airport was made from the north, with a heading of 177.0°. The aircraft was at an altitude of 442 feet above ground level and 1 nautical mile from the runway. The local weather conditions at this point were 23°C temperature and a wind speed of 12 knots at 160°, with a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 11 knots.
The aircraft landed on runway 20L, which had a length of 1,317 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was 126 knots. The touchdown distance was 326 meters, and the touchdown speed was 116 knots, both of which were considered good. The touchdown rate was firm at -396 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 3.5 meters.
The total landing distance was 650 meters, accounting for 49% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect. After landing, the aircraft taxiied to the parking area, a process that took approximately 7 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 199 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 45 minutes. The aircraft used 1,975 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A319 successfully landed at SBRJ Santos Dumont Airport, achieving a high score of 93.9%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north, heading 177.0° at 1 nautical mile and 442 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a precise final approach, taking into account the local weather conditions.
The temperature was a moderate 23°C, with a gentle wind blowing at 12 knots from 160°. This resulted in a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 11 knots, which the pilot effectively managed during the landing. The aircraft touched down on runway 20L, which has a length of 1,317 meters.
The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was maintained at 126 knots, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown distance was also within the acceptable range, measuring 326 meters. The touchdown speed of 116 knots was good, and the touchdown rate of -396 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, suggesting a controlled and stable landing.
However, there was a slight deviation in the runway touchdown position, with the aircraft being 3.5 meters off-centerline. Despite this, the pilot maintained perfect runway rollout alignment, ensuring a safe and controlled rollout.
The total landing distance was 650 meters, which is 49% of the runway length. This indicates that the pilot effectively managed the aircraft's speed and descent rate to achieve a safe and efficient landing. Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated excellent skills and control throughout the approach and landing phases.
