Ground control varies with speed, full authority at walking pace, progressively reducing as groundspeed rises. The aircraft becomes twitchy at any speed, every small pedal input swings the nose, which can encourage large-amplitude leg inputs that no real aircraft would accept.

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.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,757 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 241 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 area to the runway, which took 4 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-700, then departed from runway 15 at SPIM Jorge Chávez International Airport. The takeoff distance was 952 meters, which accounted for 28% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 144 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions of 19°C temperature and a wind speed of 4 knots at 149°. The crosswind was negligible, but there was a headwind of 4 knots. The enroute climb started overhead SPJC Jorge Chavez Intl Lima-Callao, where the aircraft began its ascent from 1,133 feet above sea level to 39,557 feet above sea level. This climb, which covered a distance of 235 nautical miles, took 32 minutes and resulted in an increase of 38,425 feet.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 120 minutes and covered a distance of 1,560 nautical miles. This phase took place 1 mile north-west of Huayana, in the Region de Apurimac, Peru. The enroute descent started 6 miles south-east of Charqueada, in Sao Paulo, Brazil, and lasted for 12 minutes. During this period, the aircraft descended from 38,569 feet above sea level to 3,882 feet above sea level, covering a distance of 80 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 17R at SBSP Congonhas Airport was made from the north-west, with a heading of 147.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,260 feet above ground level. The landing on the runway was successful, with a touchdown distance of 243 meters and a touchdown speed of 129 knots. However, the touchdown speed was a little fast, and the touchdown rate was fair at -226 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.1 meters from the centreline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 20°C temperature and a wind speed of 2 knots at 20°. The crosswind was 2 knots, and there was a tailwind of 1 knot. The total landing distance was 811 meters, which accounted for 46% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking area took 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
In total, the flight covered a distance of 1,882 nautical miles and took 170 minutes to complete. The aircraft used 9,283 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-700 aircraft successfully landed at SBSP Congonhas Airport on runway 17R, achieving a high score of 99.3%. The final approach was conducted from the northwest, heading 147.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,260 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 134 knots.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's performance was generally good, with a touchdown distance of 243 meters. However, the touchdown speed of 129 knots was slightly faster than desired, indicating that the pilots may have needed to apply more braking or reverse thrust to slow the aircraft down more quickly. The touchdown rate of -226 feet per minute (fpm) was fair, suggesting that the aircraft's descent was not excessively steep.
One notable aspect of the landing was the slight misalignment of the runway touchdown position, which was 3.1 meters off-centerline. This may have been due to a combination of factors, including wind conditions and pilot judgment. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 20°C, a wind speed of 2 knots at 20°, and a crosswind of 2 knots and a tailwind of 1 knot.
The total landing distance of 811 meters was 46% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. This suggests that the pilots were able to bring the aircraft to a stop quickly and efficiently. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the pilots maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase and were able to bring it to a stop in a straight line. Overall, the landing was a successful one, with the aircraft coming to a stop safely and efficiently.
