Improve the rollout
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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with five checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
At the 500 ft gate: sink rate above what the glideslope needed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,906 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,906 ft of the 6,740 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,265 ft 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 10 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, an Airbus A321, then departed from runway 10L at SBGR André Franco Montoro International Airport. The takeoff distance was 6,139 feet, which accounted for 53% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 156 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 71°F and a wind speed of 9 knots from a direction of 180°. This resulted in a crosswind of 9 knots and a tailwind of 3 knots. The aircraft began its enroute climb 1 mile northeast of SBGR André Franco Montoro International Airport, São Paulo, Brazil, and climbed from an altitude of 3,484 feet above sea level to 38,158 feet above sea level, an increase of 34,675 feet, in 8 minutes and covering a distance of 198 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 1 mile northeast of Guapimirim, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and lasted for 5 minutes, covering a distance of 76 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent 11 miles south of São Fidelis, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and descended from an altitude of 38,239 feet above sea level to 1,459 feet above sea level, a decrease of 36,780 feet, in 17 minutes and covering a distance of 123 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 02 at SBVT Eurico de Aguiar Salles Airport was made from the south, heading 352.0°, at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,431 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 02, which had a length of 6,740 feet. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 142 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 1,264 feet, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 136 knots. The touchdown rate was firm at -347 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 75°F and a wind speed of 10 knots from a direction of 20°. This resulted in a crosswind of 5 knots and a headwind of 9 knots. The total landing distance was 5,640 feet, which accounted for 84% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 5 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 407 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 48 minutes. The aircraft used 7,408 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A321 successfully landed at SBVT Eurico de Aguiar Salles Airport, achieving a score of 93.4%. The aircraft approached the runway from the south, heading 352.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,431 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with precision, and the aircraft landed on runway 02, which has a length of 6,740 feet.
The threshold height was satisfactory, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 142 knots. However, the touchdown speed of 136 knots was a bit faster than desired, indicating that the pilot may have applied a bit more flare than necessary. The touchdown distance of 1,264 feet was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -347 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, suggesting a controlled descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 75°F and a wind speed of 10 knots from a direction of 20°. The crosswind component was 5 knots, while the headwind component was 9 knots. These conditions did not appear to have a significant impact on the landing, as the aircraft maintained a perfect runway touchdown alignment.
The total landing distance of 5,640 feet was 84% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, suggesting that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was executed with precision and control, resulting in a high score of 93.4%.
