Improve the takeoff
The rudder input is a changing profile through the roll rather than one that is held. So the demand on your right foot starts large at power application, eases as speed builds and the rudder gains authority, then jumps again at rotation.

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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 2,133 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,133 m of the 3,286 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 362 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 SBMA João Correa da Rocha Airport. This process took 11 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 25, and the takeoff distance was 1,192 meters, which is 59% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 133 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it started its enroute climb 1 mile west of Maraba, a city in Para, Brazil. The climb began at an altitude of 1,310 feet above sea level and reached a maximum altitude of 38,421 feet above sea level, an increase of 37,111 feet in 21 minutes. During this time, the aircraft covered a distance of 120 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 9 miles west of SWGN Araguaína Airport in Araguaína, Tocantins, Brazil, and lasted for 56 minutes. During this period, the aircraft covered a distance of 404 nautical miles. The cruise altitude remained constant at 38,421 feet above sea level.
As the aircraft began its descent, it started 25 miles north of SWNQ Niquelândia Airport in Niquelândia, Goias, Brazil. The descent from 38,385 feet above sea level to 23,848 feet above sea level took 9 minutes and covered a distance of 55 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, this time starting 18 miles east of Barro Alto, Goias, Brazil, and lasting for 2 minutes. The distance covered during this short cruise was less than 1 nautical mile.
The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 17 miles east of Barro Alto, Goias, Brazil. The descent from 23,496 feet above sea level to 5,516 feet above sea level took 12 minutes and covered a distance of 64 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, this time starting 11 miles west of SBBR Presidente Juscelino Kubitschek International Airport in Brasília, Federal District, Brazil, and lasting for 2 minutes. The distance covered during this short cruise was 6 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 11R at SBBR Presidente Juscelino Kubitschek International Airport was made from the west, with a heading of 85.0 degrees at an altitude of 4 nautical miles and 1,293 feet above ground level. The landing took place on runway 11R, which has a length of 3,286 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 126 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 359 meters, and the touchdown speed was 117 knots, which was also good. However, the touchdown rate was very hard at -511 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.4 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 7 knots at 80 degrees. The crosswind was 1 knot, and the headwind was 7 knots.
The total landing distance was 2,051 meters, which is 62% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. After landing, the aircraft taxiied to the parking area, taking 4 minutes and covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 658 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 111 minutes. The aircraft used 4,070 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A319 successfully landed at SBBR Presidente Juscelino Kubitschek International Airport, achieving a high score of 95.8%. The aircraft approached the runway from the west, heading 85.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,293 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a precise final approach, ensuring a good threshold height and speed of 126 knots upon touchdown.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down at a distance of 359 meters, which was within the acceptable range. The touchdown speed of 117 knots was also satisfactory. However, the touchdown rate was quite hard, reaching -511 feet per minute (fpm). This may indicate that the pilot could have applied a smoother touchdown, but it did not significantly impact the overall performance.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.4 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a minor deviation in the pilot's alignment during the final approach. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a gentle headwind of 7 knots at 80°. The crosswind was minimal, at 1 knot, which further contributed to a smooth landing.
The total landing distance of 2,051 meters was 62% of the runway length, indicating that the pilot had sufficient control and precision to bring the aircraft to a stop within a reasonable distance. The runway rollout alignment was very good, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control and stability during the landing phase. Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot's skills were showcased in executing a precise and controlled touchdown.
