Track the centreline
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.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
At the 1,000 ft gate: centreline 2.5° off, against a 1° limit.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,380 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 300 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight departed from runway 11R at SBBR Presidente Juscelino Kubitschek International Airport, Brasília, with a takeoff distance of 630 meters, which accounted for 19% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 67 knots, with a local temperature of 22°C and a wind of 6 knots at 160°. The crosswind component was 6 knots, while the headwind component was 2 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to 6,008 feet above sea level, it covered a distance of 6 nautical miles in 4 minutes, achieving an increase of 1,605 feet. The enroute level cruise phase started 1 mile east of SSGP Piquet Airport, lasting 43 minutes and covering 83 nautical miles. The aircraft then climbed again, this time from 5,995 feet to 6,701 feet above sea level, in 2 minutes and covering 3 nautical miles. The final climb phase started 5 miles north east of Senador Canedo, with a descent from 6,868 feet to 4,148 feet above sea level, in 5 minutes and covering 10 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 32 at SBGO Santa Genoveva Airport, from the south east, at a heading of 289.0° and 4 nautical miles from the threshold. The landing was completed with a touchdown distance of 298 meters, which was within the acceptable range. The touchdown speed was slightly high at 60 knots, but the touchdown rate was excellent at -98 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the runway rollout alignment was also satisfactory. The total landing distance was 1,073 meters, which accounted for 50% of the runway. The flight used a total of 31 kilograms of fuel, covering a distance of 135 nautical miles in 75 minutes.
The Cessna C172 touched down on runway 32 at SBGO Santa Genoveva Airport with a satisfactory approach quality, demonstrating good control and precision throughout the descent. The aircraft was established on the final approach course at 4 nm from the threshold, at an altitude of 1,689 ft agl and heading 289.0°. The approach was conducted in a southeasterly direction, with the runway threshold in sight.
The aircraft touched down at a speed of 60 kt, which was slightly above the recommended threshold speed. However, the touchdown distance of 298 m was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown rate of -98 fpm was excellent, indicating a smooth and controlled touchdown. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, with the aircraft centered on the runway centerline. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 21 °C and a gentle tailwind of 4 kt, contributed to a stable and predictable approach.
The rollout phase was characterized by excellent alignment, with the aircraft remaining centered on the runway centerline. The total landing distance of 1,073 m was 50% of the runway length, indicating a good balance between touchdown distance and rollout performance. Overall, the landing was scored 98.5%, reflecting a high level of proficiency and control throughout the approach, touchdown, and rollout phases.
