Slow the descent speed
Below 10,000 ft you are typically limited to 250 kt indicated (a US rule that much of the world mirrors in some form, though not universally). This forces a deceleration around 10,000 ft whether the profile wants one or not, so plan for it rather than discovering it.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with five checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,185 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 298 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 6 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 10L at SBGR André Franco Montoro International Airport. The takeoff distance was 2,041 meters, which accounted for 58% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 172 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 16°C and a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 160°. There was a slight crosswind of 4 knots, but no headwind. As the aircraft took off, it began its enroute climb, which started 2 miles northeast of SBGR André Franco Montoro International Airport. The climb was from an altitude of 3,454 feet above sea level to 35,154 feet above sea level, an increase of 31,700 feet in 19 minutes, covering a distance of 125 nautical miles.
After the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which began 8 miles north of Conceição do Rio Verde in Minas Gerais, Brazil. This phase lasted for 84 minutes and covered a distance of 646 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its enroute descent, which began 12 miles south of Lauro de Freitas in Bahia, Brazil. The descent was from an altitude of 34,900 feet above sea level to 1,316 feet above sea level, a decrease of 33,584 feet in 28 minutes, covering a distance of 145 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 12 at SBAR Aracaju - Santa Maria International Airport was made from the west, heading 92.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,285 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 12, which had a length of 2,185 meters. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 26°C and a wind speed of 6 knots from a direction of 70°. There was a slight crosswind of 2 knots, but a significant headwind of 6 knots.
The touchdown speed was a little fast at 138 knots, but the touchdown rate was smooth at -107 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was also perfect. The total landing distance was 842 meters, which accounted for 39% of the runway. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 922 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 140 minutes. The aircraft used 5,745 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at SBAR Aracaju - Santa Maria International Airport, achieving a perfect score of 100.0%. The final approach to runway 12 was conducted from the west, with a heading of 92.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,285 feet above ground level.
The aircraft's approach and landing performance were impressive, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 143 knots, which is within the acceptable range. The touchdown distance of 299 meters was also satisfactory, indicating a well-executed landing. However, the touchdown speed of 138 knots was slightly faster than desired, which may have been due to various factors such as wind conditions or pilot judgment.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 26°C and a gentle wind of 6 knots from a direction of 70°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, while the headwind component was 6 knots, which helped to reduce the aircraft's ground speed and improve the landing performance.
The aircraft's touchdown rate was smooth at -107 feet per minute, indicating a well-controlled descent and a stable touchdown. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft aligning itself with the centerline of the runway. The total landing distance of 842 meters was 39% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight.
The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, with the aircraft maintaining its alignment with the centerline of the runway during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing performance of the Boeing 737-800 aircraft at SBAR Aracaju - Santa Maria International Airport was exceptional, with a perfect score and a smooth, controlled touchdown.
