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.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,515 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 524 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing process of 5 minutes from the parking to the runway, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. After completing the pre-flight checks, the aircraft departed from runway 10L at SBGR André Franco Montoro International Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,744 meters, which is 49% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 160 knots, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 26°C and a headwind of 2 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of São Paulo, it began its enroute climb to a cruising altitude. The enroute climb started 1 mile north east of SBGR André Franco Montoro International Airport, and it took the aircraft 16 minutes to climb from 3,488 feet above sea level to 36,426 feet above sea level, covering a distance of 106 nautical miles. This climb phase was marked by an increase in altitude of 32,939 feet.
During the enroute level cruise, the aircraft flew at a constant altitude and speed, covering a distance of 408 nautical miles in 53 minutes. This cruise phase was interrupted by a second enroute climb, which started 9 miles north east of Joaima and took the aircraft 2 minutes to climb from 36,990 feet above sea level to 38,465 feet above sea level, covering a distance of 13 nautical miles.
The second enroute level cruise was longer and more extensive, lasting 69 minutes and covering a distance of 522 nautical miles. The aircraft flew at a constant altitude and speed, and it was during this phase that the crew began to prepare for the approach and landing at the destination airport, SBJP Presidente Castro Pinto International Airport.
As the aircraft approached the destination airport, it started its enroute descent, which began 5 miles north west of Sao Jose da Laje. The descent was a gradual process, taking 24 minutes to reduce the altitude from 38,937 feet above sea level to 1,461 feet above sea level, covering a distance of 128 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 16 at SBJP Presidente Castro Pinto International Airport was executed from the north west, heading 135.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,232 feet above ground level. The aircraft landed on the runway, which had a length of 2,515 meters, and the threshold height was good. The threshold speed was well above the target at 140 knots, and the touchdown point was 107 meters beyond the touchdown zone.
The touchdown speed was at a slightly fast 130 knots, but the touchdown rate was smooth at -120 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.4 meters from the centreline, but the runway rollout alignment was very good. The total landing distance was 1,415 meters, which is 56% of the runway length.
After landing, the aircraft taxiied to the parking from the runway, taking 1 minute to cover a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,185 nautical miles, taking 173 minutes to complete, and it used a total of 5,856 kilograms of fuel.
The Boeing 737-700 aircraft successfully landed at SBJP Presidente Castro Pinto International Airport, achieving a score of 97.7%. The final approach to runway 16 was initiated from the north-west, with a heading of 135.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,232 feet above ground level.
The aircraft touched down on the runway, with the threshold height being well within the acceptable range. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 140 kt, indicating a slight deviation from the optimal landing conditions. The touchdown point was located 107 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which may be attributed to the slightly fast touchdown speed of 130 kt.
Despite the slightly fast touchdown speed, the touchdown rate was smooth, with a descent rate of -120 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was also slightly misaligned from the centerline by 3.4 meters, which may have contributed to the touchdown point being beyond the designated zone.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 26°C and a wind speed of 5 kt at 90°. The crosswind and headwind components were minimal, at 3 kt each, which did not significantly impact the landing.
The total landing distance was 1,415 meters, accounting for 56% 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 within a reasonable distance. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, suggesting that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft during the landing roll.
Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft touching down safely and coming to a stop within a reasonable distance. However, there were some minor deviations from the optimal landing conditions, including a slightly fast touchdown speed and a slightly misaligned runway touchdown position.
