Flight Score
Departure
Use smoother, smaller aileron inputs to keep the wings level and hold bank angle near wings-level during the climb.
What happened: During the climb, bank angle rose to 6.9°, more roll than the climb out called for.
Watch for: Attitude indicator: wings level during the climb
Arrival
Make small rudder corrections against a fixed point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline.
What happened: You drifted off the centreline on the approach.
Watch for: Runway centreline: tracked all the way to the threshold.
See Arrival Approach
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. These checks are the approach's score.
At the 500 ft gate: centreline 7.0° off, against a 1° limit and wings 13° of bank, against a 10° limit.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,322 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,322 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 420 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Santos Dumont Airport in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, took less than a minute, covering a distance of less than one nautical mile. The Airbus A320 then began its departure roll on runway 02R, utilizing 74% of the 1,317-meter runway to achieve liftoff at a speed of 147 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 17°C, with a negligible wind of 1 knot from a direction of 270°.
As the aircraft climbed out of Santos Dumont Airport, it transitioned into an enroute climb, ascending from an initial altitude of 399 feet above sea level to 1,939 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,540 feet in just one minute. This climb phase covered a distance of approximately three nautical miles. Later, the aircraft began its enroute descent, reducing its altitude from 1,936 feet above sea level to 281 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,654 feet in two minutes, while covering a distance of four nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 02R at Santos Dumont Airport was conducted from the south, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 357.0° at an altitude of 269 feet above ground level, approximately one nautical mile from the runway threshold. The landing was executed with good threshold height, threshold speed, touchdown distance, and touchdown speed, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 109 knots and a rate of -160 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 8.4 meters. The total landing distance was 807 meters, accounting for 61% of the runway length. Following the landing, the aircraft underwent a rollout, which was also slightly misaligned from the centerline by 8.4 meters. The total flight distance was eight nautical miles, with a total fuel consumption of 247 kilograms, and the flight duration was four minutes.
The final approach to runway 02R at SBRJ Santos Dumont Airport from the south was executed with precision, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 357.0° at 1 nm and 269 ft above ground level. The approach quality was excellent, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 120 kt, indicating a well-controlled descent. The aircraft touched down at a speed of 109 kt, which was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -160 fpm was also good, indicating a smooth and controlled touchdown.
The touchdown distance of 413 m was good, and the aircraft remained aligned with the runway centreline until the moment of touchdown, where it was slightly misaligned by 8.4 m. However, this misalignment was not significant enough to affect the overall performance of the landing. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 16 °C and a wind of 1 kt at 270°, were favorable for the landing, with a negligible crosswind and headwind.
The total landing distance of 807 m was 61% of the runway length, which is within the acceptable range. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 8.4 m from the centreline, but this was not significant enough to affect the overall performance of the landing. Overall, the landing was executed with a high degree of precision and control, resulting in a score of 96.9%.
