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.

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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,577 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 74 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 30 at SBAR Aracaju - Santa Maria International Airport. The Cessna C172 aircraft took off with a takeoff distance of 436 meters, which is 20% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 69 knots, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 1 knot from 270 degrees.
As the aircraft climbed, it started its enroute climb overhead SBAR Aracaju - Santa Maria International Airport, Aracaju. The climb was from 1,031 feet above sea level to 5,584 feet above sea level, an increase of 4,553 feet in just 5 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise then started overhead Sao Cristovao, Sergipe, Brazil, and lasted for 21 minutes, covering a distance of 38 nautical miles.
The enroute descent began 4 miles west of Umbauba, Sergipe, Brazil, and the aircraft descended from 4,628 feet above sea level to 2,947 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,681 feet in 5 minutes, covering a distance of 10 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise then started 2 miles northeast of Rio Real, Bahia, Brazil, and lasted for 33 minutes, covering a distance of 48 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 20 at SDUO Alagoinhas Airport was from the north, heading 178.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,061 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 20 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 72 meters, which is good. The touchdown speed was 56 knots, and the touchdown rate was firm at -393 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 1 knot from 270 degrees. The crosswind was 1 knot, and the headwind was 0 knots. The total landing distance was 416 meters, which is 26% of the runway length. However, the runway rollout alignment was misaligned by 24.0 meters from the centerline.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area from the runway, taking 1 minute and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 108 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 73 minutes. The aircraft used 31 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Cessna C172 aircraft successfully landed at SDUO Alagoinhas Airport, achieving a score of 88.1%. The final approach was conducted from the north, heading 178.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,061 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft landed on runway 20, which has a length of 1,577 meters.
The threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct height as it approached the runway. However, the threshold speed was slightly below the target speed of 57 knots. Despite this, the touchdown distance was good at 72 meters, and the touchdown speed of 56 knots was also within acceptable limits. The touchdown rate of -393 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 15°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from 270°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind component of 1 knot and a headwind of 0 knots. The total landing distance of 416 meters was only 26% of the runway length, indicating a smooth and controlled landing.
However, there was a minor issue with the runway rollout alignment, which was misaligned by 24.0 meters from the centerline. This suggests that the aircraft may have drifted slightly off course during the rollout phase, but it did not appear to have any significant impact on the overall landing performance. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a good score and demonstrating a high level of proficiency in landing procedures.
