Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,015 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 488 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 5 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-900, then departed from runway 10L at SBGR André Franco Montoro International Airport in São Paulo, Brazil. The takeoff distance was 1,786 meters, which was 50% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 154 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of the airport, it began its enroute climb 2 miles east of SBGR André Franco Montoro International Airport. The climb started from an altitude of 3,435 feet above sea level and reached a maximum altitude of 36,652 feet above sea level, an increase of 33,218 feet in 23 minutes. The climb covered a distance of 161 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 13 miles east of SSOL Padre Israel Airport Lavras in Minas Gerais, Brazil, and lasted for 306 minutes. During this period, the aircraft covered a distance of 2,476 nautical miles. The cruise altitude was maintained at 36,652 feet above sea level.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its enroute descent 32 miles southeast of Cova Figueira in Cape Verde. The descent started from an altitude of 36,528 feet above sea level and reached a minimum altitude of 2,012 feet above sea level, a decrease of 34,516 feet in 21 minutes. The descent covered a distance of 138 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started again 9 miles south of Santa Maria in Cape Verde and lasted for 4 minutes, covering a distance of 13 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 01 at GVAC Amílcar Cabral International Airport from the south, heading 359.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,266 feet above ground level.
The landing was smooth, with a touchdown speed of 132 knots and a touchdown rate of -131 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the crosswind, headwind, and wind direction were favorable. The touchdown point was 71 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the total landing distance was 1,180 meters, which was 39% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking from the runway, which took 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 2,797 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 363 minutes. The aircraft used 17,336 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-900 aircraft successfully landed at GVAC Amílcar Cabral International Airport, showcasing a high level of precision and control. The final approach to runway 01 from the south was executed at a heading of 359.0°, with the aircraft at an altitude of 1,266 feet above ground level (agl) and 4 nautical miles from the runway. This approach was characterized by a high degree of accuracy, with a score of 99.9%.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway at a speed of 132 knots, which was within the acceptable threshold speed of 138 knots. The touchdown point was located 71 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, indicating a slight deviation from the ideal landing spot. However, this deviation was not significant, and the overall landing performance was deemed satisfactory.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 25°C and a wind speed of 10 knots from a direction of 50°. This resulted in a crosswind component of 8 knots and a headwind component of 6 knots. Despite these wind conditions, the aircraft's landing performance was not significantly affected, and the touchdown rate was smooth at -131 feet per minute (fpm).
The total landing distance of 1,180 meters was 39% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. This indicates that the pilot's landing technique was effective in minimizing the landing distance while maintaining control and stability. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control and direction during the landing roll.
Overall, the landing of the Boeing 737-900 at GVAC Amílcar Cabral International Airport was a successful and precise operation, showcasing the skills and expertise of the pilot and the aircraft's capabilities.
