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.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: five 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.
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,802 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 337 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The Airbus A320 then departed from runway 35L at SBSP Congonhas Airport in São Paulo, Brazil. The takeoff distance was 1,216 meters, which accounted for 69% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 141 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 30 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 8 knots from a direction of 320 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 8 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile northwest of SBSP Congonhas Airport and ascending from an altitude of 3,537 feet above sea level to 27,035 feet above sea level. This climb, which covered a distance of 37 nautical miles, took 11 minutes and resulted in an increase of 23,499 feet in altitude.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which began 3 miles east of Itu, São Paulo, Brazil. This phase lasted for 11 minutes and covered a distance of 66 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its enroute descent, beginning 7 miles south of SSMV Fazenda Boa Vista Airport Pirassununga, São Paulo, Brazil. The descent took 17 minutes and covered a distance of 68 nautical miles, during which the aircraft decreased its altitude from 27,069 feet above sea level to 3,142 feet above sea level.
The final approach to runway 18 at SBRP Leite Lopes Airport was made from the north, with the aircraft heading 163.0 degrees at an altitude of 4 nautical miles and 1,326 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 18 was successful, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 128 knots, which was slightly faster than the recommended threshold speed. The touchdown distance was 340 meters, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 29 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 90 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 1 knot. The total landing distance was 1,103 meters, which accounted for 61% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also very good. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 178 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 49 minutes. The aircraft used 1,723 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at SBRP Leite Lopes Airport, achieving a high score of 97.5%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north, heading 163.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,326 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot's final approach to runway 18 was executed with precision, taking into account the local weather conditions.
The temperature at the time of landing was 29°C, with a relatively calm wind of 4 knots at 90°. This resulted in a minimal crosswind component of 4 knots and a slight headwind of 1 knot. The pilot's ability to adapt to these conditions was evident in the smooth execution of the landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was slightly higher than the recommended threshold speed of 133 knots, coming in at 128 knots. However, the touchdown distance of 340 meters was well within the acceptable range, indicating a good control of the aircraft's descent. The touchdown rate of -397 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, but not excessive, suggesting a controlled and stable landing.
The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot had successfully aligned the aircraft with the runway centerline. This was further reinforced by the excellent runway rollout alignment, which demonstrated the pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was executed with precision and control, with the pilot successfully navigating the aircraft through the final approach, touchdown, and rollout phases. The high score of 97.5% reflects the pilot's expertise and the aircraft's performance in these challenging conditions.
