Hold the approach angle
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.

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 2,298 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,298 m of the 3,547 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 559 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in question was operated by an Airbus A380 aircraft. The journey began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 10 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles (nm). The aircraft then departed from runway 12R at Dubai International Airport (OMDB), with a takeoff distance of 2,468 meters, which was 69% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 167 knots (kt).
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 35°C, with a wind speed of 10 kt at 190°. The crosswind component was 9 kt, while the headwind component was 4 kt. After departing from Dubai, the aircraft began its enroute climb, which started 2 miles southeast of the airport and reached an altitude of 35,649 feet above sea level (ft asl) in 32 minutes, covering a distance of 190 nm.
The enroute level cruise phase began 35 miles east of Fuwayrit, Qatar, and lasted for 116 minutes, covering a distance of 980 nm. The aircraft then started its enroute descent, which began 28 miles southwest of Al Qusayr, Egypt, and descended from 35,622 ft asl to 34,000 ft asl in 55 minutes, covering a distance of 452 nm. The descent was followed by another enroute level cruise phase, which started at a latitude of 26.8658854 and a longitude of 25.468449, and lasted for 177 minutes, covering a distance of 1,441 nm.
The aircraft then began another enroute climb, which started 29 miles southwest of Kaduna Airport, Nigeria, and climbed from 34,003 ft asl to 35,343 ft asl in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 14 nm. This was followed by several other enroute level cruise and climb phases, which took the aircraft over various locations in Nigeria and Brazil.
The final approach to runway 10L at André Franco Montoro International Airport (SBGR) was made from the west, with a heading of 74.0° at 4 nm and 1,979 ft above ground level (agl). The landing was made on a runway length of 3,547 meters, with a good threshold height. The threshold speed was also good at 131 kt. However, the touchdown speed was a little fast at 126 kt, and the touchdown rate was firm at -314 feet per minute (fpm).
The touchdown point was 168 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.4 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 16°C, with a wind speed of 16 kt at 270°. The crosswind component was 5 kt, while the tailwind component was 16 kt.
The total landing distance was 2,243 meters, which was 63% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. After landing, the aircraft took 3 minutes to taxi to the parking from the runway, covering a distance of less than 1 nm. The total flight distance was 6,838 nm, which was covered in 886 minutes, and the aircraft used 176,146 kg of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A380 successfully landed at SBGR André Franco Montoro International Airport, achieving a score of 96.5%. The aircraft approached the runway from the west, heading 74.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,979 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with a good threshold height, indicating that the aircraft was properly configured for landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed on runway 10L, which has a length of 3,547 meters. The threshold speed was within the acceptable range at 131 knots, demonstrating that the pilots had maintained control and were prepared for landing. However, the touchdown point was 168 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was slightly higher than desired at 126 knots. This resulted in a firm touchdown rate of -314 feet per minute (fpm), which may have caused some stress on the aircraft's landing gear.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 4.4 meters, which may have been due to the crosswind or tailwind conditions. The local weather conditions at the time of landing included a temperature of 16°C and winds of 16 knots from 270°. The crosswind component was relatively low at 5 knots, but the tailwind component was significant at 16 knots. Despite these conditions, the pilots managed to maintain a very good runway rollout alignment.
The total landing distance was 2,243 meters, which accounted for 63% of the runway length. This indicates that the aircraft had sufficient stopping distance and that the pilots had effectively managed the landing. Overall, the landing was successful, and the aircraft was able to come to a stop within a reasonable distance from the runway threshold.
